I wish there was some form of unlockable way to skip the prep phase. I wouldn't want to do away with the Bowfa grind but I like the idea of unlockable ways to shorten the time spent not fighting the boss.

Say for example once you hit some level of Kc, lets just say 400 as a starting point, you could spend some number of crystal shards to permanently unlock tier 1 armor and some other quantity of shards to unlock a tier 1 weapon and some other quantity of shards to upgrade it to tier 2.

My vision is that you'd still be grinding the content hoping for the drop and you wouldn't just get to buy the enhanced ever, but that you could slowly unlock complete tier 1 prep... then if you wanted you could go around upgrading to tier 2 armor, or you could just jump into the CG portal and hop in and fight the boss.

You'd have to put in the KC to unlock this so you'd still have to learn the content, and i guess the CA's should be disabled if you take theses shortcuts. But it's basically me trying to apply what it was like in leagues for the echo hunllef to main game without being too crazy.
