Summary0008115: Make mission resource rewards more "need aware"
DescriptionAs more and more arcane resource types get unlocked, it gets harder to find enough missions to get the amount of resources needed for the higher tier spells for the more obscure types.

I recently played for easily over 10 hours, doing dozens of missions, without finding a single mission offering any Umbra Ember. Over a far longer playing period, I've only seen a bare handful of Comet Shards.

Part of this seems to be that it's possible for a large percentage of missions seem to offer guardian scrolls instead of resources. Of the 20 available missions recently, I counted 14 scroll missions and just 6 resource ones.

Suggestions:
- limit the number of active guardian scroll missions to no more than half of the total offered at any time.
- somewhat decrease the likelihood of mission rewards of resources that are plentiful in the stockpile (say 16+)
- somewhat increase the likelihood of mission rewards of resources that are unlocked that are low in the stockpile (say less than 8).

Make sure and check what region types the resources can seed in. Then either do secret missions in those regions or do seek resources scrolls there. Those materials are rarer partly because of where they are allowed to spawn.

I agree, I've been trying to shore up my spells, but it seems that most of the missions don't give any useful items, just tier cores and some scrolls.

I'd prefer they check missions against what we already have.

I actually like having some difficulty in obtaining certain ingredients, because it makes strategic use of Seek Resources rewarding, and it makes secret missions in certain region types (slightly) less inconsequential.
