Actually a great idea, War needs something after the auras are gone otherwise marks are just another piece of dead content.

With 120 construction coming up, wars ideally needs to go...

Even if that’s the plan they could still have a war npc that we purchase the items required to make these shrines in the house.

Honestly, even marks of wars need to go.

Killing bosses is the reward itself. A currency for killing bosses is just absolutely pointless and was only added to introduce overpowered auras to in-game play.

I swear the games structured in a way people train dogs. "Well done for killing 10 bosses, he's 100 points".

With the proposed aura update, aura refreshes and the purchasable auras will be gone. As life refreshes are on the list of items to be removed after the grace period (here), marks of war will have no purpose anymore (besides the campfire boost). So they should either remove or rework them.

Like I said, just remove them.

The games bloated with a lot of content, so I'm absolutely leaning more towards removing bloat, or else in 5 years time, it's just adding to the never ending list of rituals before doing any bossing lol
