Shards of texts as quest loot on many quests

[Barber]

A half formed idea!

What about tossing in garbled half destroyed ancient texts into the loot tables of many quests, netherise texts?

This would let PCs who wish to, try to collect them in hopes of combining fragments and deciphering them.  Dms could reward pro-active PCs and translate something when a PC gets a bunch of them.

It alsolets  PCs send others off into remote and obscure locations to try to gather them.

I know this idea is half formed, but I think it has some potential, anyone have ways to flesh it out?

More loot that adds on with other loot. Like random puzzles or shards of armor you can put together into a super armor.

I've tried to hire a few PCs to go fetch my PC netherise texts from quests.  It would be cool if they had an item to show they did it, even if the text was worthless and didn't do anything.

So the notes that already drop aren't clues to something?

[Aethereal]

There are indeed already certain books/parchment/ancient text drops that add both flavour and clues to overarching server plots.

It would certainly be nice to see more though.

And then there's the Animations of Po tomes, which have not been surfacing lately. Maybe another one of these collections could be added to the server to give lorekeepers and other similar concepts something to strive for without making it entirely impossible to achieve.
