Current max daily devotion for all players is 125.
Depending on your VIP level, you could get up to 165 daily devotion if you participate in all possible events.
I suggest that new daily devotion rewards be added for 120 (all player accessible), 140 (requires the +20 bonus from VIP level 5), and 160 (only for VIP level 9).
Players who have spent enough money and/or time as a vip to attain higher VIP levels should be able to receive a few extra rewards for doing so.
I would suggest the following:
120 devotion: 1 crypt key, Level 3 daru pearl x 10 (100k daru), and Level 3 gem pack x2
This would give all players, whether free or VIP, a chance at a crypt key every day plus some other nice bonuses.
140 devotion: 10 Mahra, 500k gold, 11 rose x1, and 5 runestones
A good reason for players to sub up as VIP and earn their way up to level 5 or higher. The mahra carrot alone might increase subscriptions.
160 devotion: 20 sepulchrum, 10 balens (NOT BOUND BALENS), Level 4 gem pack x2, Skeleton key x10, and Signet Training x2
A strong reason to not only subscribe, but to maintain that subscription for the several months or the hundreds of $$$$ it would take to reach level 9. It costs 4500 points to be level 9, which is 450,000 or 450 days. At 10 points per day or 1 point per 100 balens, it takes a significant amount of time and/or cash investment to achieve this level. Even if the only investment the player has ever put into the game is their VIP, that player would require a 15 months of unbroken VIP status to reach level 9 VIP. Being able to earn UNBOUND balens every day would be a very strong carrot to entice people to not only subscribe as VIP but to potentially spend extra cash here and there to hurry on towards level 9.
No, I am not yet level 9 myself....I do admit I have spent enough VIP time and spent enough extra cash to reach level 8 though.
As an additional suggestion, I think that VIP should receive a monthly stipend of UNBOUND balens. Most of the benefits a VIP player receives carry an unbound balen cost...such as more alchemy or daru alchemy attempts. For the monthly cost of VIP, a player could get nearly 1000 balens, so a stipend of 500 unbound balens to go with the monthly VIP access would be nice, and would also go a long way to convincing many players who refuse to subscribe to sign up.
For all the 'cashers suck' haters out there....Wartune is a BUSINESS. Nay saying a suggestion such as this just based on the spin I gave it of increasing the financial bottom line of the hosting companies would be very shortsighted. A suggestion that will both help free players as well as give incentives to put money in the game is NOT a bad thing. No, a free player should NOT receive everything a paid player can, and paid players SHOULD be able to receive much more bonuses than a free player...After all, WE are footing the bill for maintaining and upgrading the servers, paying developers to create and update content, etc.
