Fragile armor/sets

  • updated

The server has progressed and grown but so have characters items/sets. For any new people that join they have a steep hill to climb. Changes have been made to make rebirthing easier by exp slates (higher %bonus at low rebirths etc), what about gear? I think it would benefit everyone if “fragile sets” existed. Fragile sets could be granted by typing a command or accessing a NPC in CH, or a list where you can click and build a complete set with different armors. The stats on the fragile armors will be fixed and not able to enchant, you can use Meriens to upgrade but the fragile item will disaapear at (7days/200 game hours/rebirth 10 or somthing). Make options available such as mr50 pieces, ma10 pieces, pa15 pieces, mp50 pieces, xp10% bonus, hp50 pieces (could be set to cic1/2, or mcon5/light20)I’m not asking for new players to get awesome sets I would still disenchant any of these items if I picked them up.


I believe any content that can help a new player have a chance of staying longer would benefit the server. It would also give them the option to save all the frags/shards they find (or sell) and work towards upgrading meaningful items. If you talk to new people allot end up using their frags/shards on dumb upgrades because they simply don’t know. It will also let them accumulate coins faster if they can sell all the gear they find instead of trying to make a set from scratch. 

Im not asking for OP beginners sets. Im asking for somthing to help NEW players. No1 with a set of mr50 or anything else I mentioned above  will live long in PvP anyway, but it’s better then nothing and might make them feel like they have a better chance and stick around longer.


realistically if there was a command you could type it would probably be the most user friendly. All items would be bound. Once again, these items are not enchantable and will disaapear at the (decided upon) time.

/create hat mp w

/create chain pa m

maybe the sets can be Offered from the CityHall Officer?

Absolutely conversation on this topic is needed Telluride! And maybe even just mp/hp sets are needed, but I feel like all stats (dr/mr/hp/mp) would be better

Agree that something like this should exist with some of the sets in the server. It should permit some level of hunting and make pvp something you can participate in mass, compared to black smith gear.

I feel they should still be expensive (perhaps 250k gold a piece or more?). It would need to still feel like progression for new people, and would still need to make finding actual enchantable items desirable.

Stats should also be limited. HP/MP and lower MA/PA 

Perhaps 69% of what a manufactured piece with 2 gems would give.

My thinking it was more so, so people can save everything they get from hunting and when they understand the game more (after a determined time) the sets disaapear and they can use the gear they have been working on etc

Does anyone else have any input? This could help so many new players stay longer potentially…..

maybe replace dk set with these sets... or add frags/shards or new consumables to upgrade only dk items with limited stats..so we can make  our low/mid custom dk sets
