Make poe2 currency useful again instead of only trade settlement assets

In poe1 currency orbs had more use in the actual game instead of being used as settlement on a external 3rd party site because orbs of scouring existed and facilitated more crafting attempts (other orbs would be used more on the same item).

But the access to significant drop rates of these orbs (including annulment) are restricted to higher rarity aka endgame. This is bad design as the most important and frequent time for changing gear and opportunities for experimenting with then orb mechanics the game has to offer is throughout the campaign.

Therefore, by supplying players throughout their campaign not only would it encourage orb utilization and actually playing the game (not going to 3rd party trading site requiring login and scam & waiting annoyance), It would also help solve the major complains players would have in finding useful gear during the campaign.

But HOW do we do this?

Add additional quest rewards throughout all acts where NON-TRADABLE USE ONLY orbs drop. When this use only currency is spent on gear, it should BIND THE ITEM TO THE ACCOUNT AND NO LONGER BE TRADABLE. The orbs rewards should be given in MULTIPLE QUANTITIES.

Here's an example of how the player can be rewarded on defeating the act 1 boss: 3x alchemy, 3x exalt, 3x scouring

Act 2 final boss: 3x alchemy, 3x exalts, 3x scouring, 3x chaos

Act 3 final boss: all of previous rewards and add 3x orbs of annulment

Act 4 final boss: previous and add 3x orbs of chance

Act 5 final boss: previous and add 3x divine orbs

Act 6: Previous and add 3x fractured orbs.

Because the orbs are non tradable, this feature would help players, especially casual players who struggle throughout the campaign. This helps players seek their main character power fantasy instead of feeling like David vs Goliath.

I like where your head is at, but this would still be a potential victim of bad RNG for many players. I wouldn't be against something like this though, better rewards for Act completion would be good.

I'd rather see a campaign boss added who can only drop currency, at a rate that is not viable to abuse by high levels but would seriously assist new league starts, hc, ssf.

I think this idea is great and can let new players know what these currencies are for and how they should be used, rather than just being used as trading currency. Abolition and the value of D make the vast majority of players hesitant to consume them, which can improve the situation. However, the new issue is whether there will be people selling or purchasing such opportunities at a low price. I can give you the equipment, and you can use Abolition or D and then return it to me. It can be foreseen that if this is not prevented, it will almost certainly happen, which will turn into exploitation of new players.

Third web pages are happy right now with actual state of PoE2.

The concern of exploiting this use only currency after an item is traded won't be possible as I did mention that using any of them would lock any items affected to be binded to that players account. This means they cannot trade the item back anymore.
