Crafting suggestions

Essence - Add a third tier of Essence that operates as an Exalted Orb. This tier may only be applied if no modifiers carry the Essence tag. Modifiers added with this tier gain the Essence tag. No changes to lower tiers.

Expedition - Allow players to bring their own items to the Expedition crafters. This will require tracking wether Expedition crafting has been done on the item, displayed in both the advanced info for the item and also on the trade site. Once the item has entered the Expedition crafting process, even if no craft is committed, it cannot be used again for Expedition crafting. This will avoid quasi Lock crafting in groups.

Ground Loot - Reduce max mods available on ground loot to five to give incentive to crafting.

Item level - As an items level goes up, so should the low end of the mod tiers it can have.

Mod tiers - Return to T1 being the highest available. Use any other word for waystones to remove confusion.

Shameless self bump.
