Champion Item Drop Flavor

Was thinking if the items dropped by the champions of each zone had some special effect or flavor to them. Maybe it can be a chance or something that it drops with the enchantment.

Soul Ice Bandolier: Can carry x soul ice and does not contribute to weight carried
Gloomstalker treads/hoofs/whatever shoes are dropped: 1ap per 2 movement in respective plane, or grant lava walking or something. These would be especially great for tier 2 and mortal characters without fly and such. Maybe some cooldown on the effect instead of being able to carry 3 sets I don't know.
Quiver of elysian arrows from nammite can be used every so often to make a free quiver
Stone Bracers: gain a soak or % defense from impact
Centurion Lorica: when activated gives planar protection for 15 actions or so

Just thinking something useful but not game breaking, but this would be a much better reason to hunt them than a 7 damage sword or a bow that you wont use anyway.

I think this would make hunting them and going for certain items a fun goal, some really good things to keep around in lockers as well.

I like this. More toys are always welcome.

I’m not a fan of cosmetic items effecting gameplay directly. It leads to everybody wearing the same items to optimize, or else be at a disadvantage (even if very minor).

There's a short enough time left on the breath that this probably isn't being reworked between now and the next time we build more minibosses.

There is a thing in the future that kinda fits the spirit of this suggestion, but I can't talk about it yet.
