Do have a point, but what if you want to get the ankh shield, and there's no cobalt shieldor... you know, make those items more available to begin with.
you can't fight RNG with RNG.
you can only fix RNG by removing it.

Best solution to ensure people gets items: Craft recipes.
Can't fight RNG by adding another thing which depends on RNG. Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be safe.
Crafting wouldnt help either. Why? ObviouslyBest solution to ensure people gets items: Craft recipes.

It's not really adding RNG as much as it is making items renewable instead of being available in such low quantities that you could be required to generate 10+ worlds before finding ONE of an item. I'm sure there are other solutions, but this one seems to me to be the best.
So then, what about chests in different areas containing crafting materials unique to those chests?Best solution to ensure people gets items: Craft recipes.

For example, let's say all the unique dungeon loot is replaced with "Dungeon Scraps" in locked gold chests, which can then be crafted into any of the dungeon's one-of-a-kind items. Keeps things special but lets you get what you need for your playthrough without relying on wonky RNG. Same would apply to "Cavern Scraps", "Gold Scraps", "Scraps of Shadow", etc.
Edit: I quoted the wrong ancientpower post. I meant to quote the one talking about crafting recipes.
