Summer Sweep Up: Contract of Oathplate Acquisition

It's disappointing that it doesn't get talked about much, but the oathplate acquisition contract in it's current form does not feel right for the game. It is truly impossible to practice without spending a fortune and only a small handful of players (maybe even less than a dozen) can actually engage with the content.

It already costs 80m and is nearly the full price of a piece of oathplate.

It feels bad that there's a very unique piece of challenge content in the game content that is reserved for ... ten people? No one else can afford to even attempt it let alone actually practice enough to get a completion.

Every iron I know who has received this drop ultimately decided to just put it in deaths coffer and every main just sells it on the GE. That is just weird that we have an entire piece of content reserved for such few players to appreciate.

Suggestion: The contract should only be consumed upon completion and made 10-15% rarer to compensate.

This would effectively make the GP/hr at Yama 100% unaffected while unlocking the content to anyone who wants to participate in it. If you get the contract (which is a rare drop anyway) and are willing to practice and beat the very difficult challenge it poses, you should be rewarded.

It's rarity and difficulty are fine, there's nothing wrong with making it possible for normal players to complete if they put in the effort. In it's current state you really have no option to attempt the contract without certainly throwing away your money. It's weird design.
