Allow prototyping of the celestial altar crafts, but only from the celestial sanctum or celestial tribute

[Maxil20]

Pretty much the title! I always was a bit bummed the extra altars you get have identical crafts, and everything you need can be made from the inital altar on the island. Having an incentive to make the altars that are not the inital one on the lunar island would be neat, and I think this would be a fun incentive to push for! In particular, It would give the cutter a neat midgame appeal, where they would have a solid window pre rifts before you get the rift weapons, and allow for reliable use of the glass crafts in the caves without needing to carry them fully assembled, which is rather cumbersome compared to carrying the mats.

(This would also indirectly apply to the empowered orb, though at that point you are post CC to get it, soooooo...)

i agree - i was thinking that being able to craft them from the orb from the beginning is kind of underwhelming in comparison to God upgrading the orb used to summon it as a means of progression, but i LOVE the idea of being able to prototype them

i think being able to prototype them at an upgraded altar is a good middleground between it being a boss reward (which is a bit late in the wake of Rifts, assuming you activate them immediately) and it being accessible from the comfort of your home at day 6 or something
