I ofcourse agree, also because esp in BG3 there is not much of good equipment, so the starting "white" equipment is what you will get for a long time and some of the hats are really cool, but you can use only some purple variation in Act 3 or something. There is too few pieces of magical equipment generally. And if it was meant to upgrade it with crafting, which would feel better I guess than overflow the game with all kind of equipment drops, it seems like it was scratched because of meaningfull shoppers, but they usually just sell +1 armors crap. There is a very limited quest option for a masterwork weapon, which is outdated when you finally get it even, but nothing for green +1 equip. So maybe if not transmog, then it would be better for Act 1 for shoppers to sell an equipment with a skill slot/special function and let me upgrade it with currently disfunctional furniture to plus 1 - I think I saw disfunctional grinding stone in Blighted village.
