Request for Feature: Unique drops

I would like to request that Rogue NPC's drop some unique item. It does not have to be of any value at all as far as I am concerned. Maybe the Leader of the tribe could drop the item.

So you say, "Explain yourself would you please?"

No problem. I would like to be able to schedule some player led events that would require a team to go kill a tribe, or multiple tribes and return with proof of such so that they may earn a reward. To further explain I was thinking, Form a team, and bring me proof of the erradication of X, Y, and Z. Upon doing so I will lead your team on an adventure to .... and we will share with you the knowledge of .... you will hear a fable of .... and perform enjoy a perform some special thing.

So for example, bring me the necklace from the Turn of the Tide leader, and the barrels of lager from the Davae's Clutch along with 10 Quality 45 Bodoc Eyes and I will take your team on an adventure through Psykopla Knoll. ( I would give "lore", that i make up about Bodokin, unless some exists, and lead them through the slaughter of the famed beast.)

This seems like a minor request that is easy to implement that will provide the ability for myself and others to implement player run events.

Thanks for the consideration.

It's a good idea and would make more sense than finding that stuff on mobs.

I don't know if this is new or not but while hunting in Resting Water yesterday we noticed that Cutes were dropping earings as loot. There weren't any bonuses on them but they sold for about 300 daps. Has this always been the case? If we didn't have a new guy on the team who clicked the dead body we would never have seen that as in the past they didn't seem to drop anything :P

One of the minor features that would offer (at least for me) some interest in exploring is that from time to time hawkers could sell 'better' items. Right now, hawkers are only used as an "fedex" NPC to drop the mats on merchants, and with the exception of a few race bucklers, not a lot of players actually buy from them.

By 'better' I don't mean "uber" items, but either unique (e.g. a yellow armor) or slightly improved (e.g. choice, even excellent equipment and eventually with actual bonuses on them). Of course, this should be implemented carefully, with random selection of items within the hawker region/capabilities to avoid camping and infinite supply... The same way players "check on merchants" to see if interesting equipment is available, why not hawkers as well?
