why even bother making a new set of gear? Make it a recipe for a potion which gives a passive buff. Inventing the potion would take some gear, certainly, but it would grant a buff that would last a few weeks, say. We could do things such as a 10-50 level increase to certain buffs cast, depending on the skill. 5-20% increase in any skill, maybe a 150% cap on any/all enhancements. A variety of options are possible .

they can have no stats at all, but give a permanent buff while equipped.

Very cool idea

What buffs do you think would work best (and at what level?)

Do you think one permanent buff (while equipped) with no stats would be enough?

I think this would be cool if added to epic items. They have little value other then stam gain anymore and this definitely would be cool and bring back some of the Epicness to them.

Epics getting underpowered compared to all other type of items , I would say make new recipes to revamp epics combination between epics and ancient items(if its released) ...

For example ancient item 0 stats with First strike enhancement that actives 100% of time... then combine it with epic item to give epic that first strike ability but with average chance to lose stats on epic item except stam gain ...that would be cool

Hang on, if I'm reading this correctly...

An Ancient item would be a disposable item (much like crystalline), have no stats of its own, require existing Epics to create and provide a player with a permanent buff. (while the piece is worn)

Are people actually thinking this is a good idea?

Edit: Unless this thing rolls out with a Deflect 1000 I can't see it being very popular.

I think Ancient items were better discussed as Single stat items, Remember these will be non repairable and you want to be able to use them for much better use in PVP, GVG, hunting and even arena - why not even make Ancient Titans where you are required to have at least one Ancient item equipped in order to hunt them. Since non repairable this will always keep them rare and much wanted

... Remember these will be non repairable ...

Nothing is set in stone here I believe.
So it won't hurt to come up with ideas that involve repairable Ancient items. :roll:

[ironcire]

Instead of making a whole new class of items, why not just make these new items as Epics but use existing RP epics and titan epics and SE items in the recipes with an average chance of success. This will keep titan hunting valid and GVG valid for a long time and create more value in older epics that have become overpopulated. This would also give new epics with a permanent buff so they would be very desirable.

And about a new kind of item, we already have 9 parts to equip, whats about a totally new one?

Maybe you can equip an 'aura' on yourself, plus the 9 itens, that new kind will not f**k up with CoA and CoD, and can give you a LOT of diferent bonuses (never stats).

Create a new set of 'Epic Quests (EP)', with can be lvl 50-100-150-200-300-400-500-700-900-1100-1400-1700-2100.
All quests needs to be hard to get, just like Elemental quests (500 titan kills or something like that, but with Ancient Creatures).
All the rewards of quests need to be Bound.

Maybe Ancient creatures can spot just like SEs, and you need to kill 1 of the specific Ancient to finish the quest, and with high lvl quest 3-5 Ancients of other kind.

The Ancient creatures can also drop an specific 'Aura', which will be diferent of the quest reward.

Some of the Ancients can drop Recipes, which will make new 'Auras', can use Epics on the Recipes.

The Quests Rewards will be simple, something like '10% on xp gain', '10% on specific buff', '1 stamina gain', '10 xp gain', etc.

The drops can give more powerfull 'Auras' and give more powerfull bonuses, something like 20% bonuses on specific buff, or 20% xp gain, 2 stamina gain, etc.

The Recipes will use Epics and make a more powerfull 'Aura', can give 3 stamina gain, 30% of specific buff, or something diferent, like 'Enchant Helmet 1000 can be activated on 50% of the time'.

The Drops and the Recipes will not be Bound, only the rewards from Epic Quests.

I don't know about the non-reparable thing.

I think this would be cool if added to epic items. They have little value other then stam gain anymore and this definitely would be cool and bring back some of the Epicness to them.

I think using some of the Epic items in the recipes for the Ancient items would work.

i doubt that anyone would want to use epic items, of which some still are quite expensive, to create an item that is non-repairable........why would i want to spend 100's of FSP getting epic items to make a non-repairable item? Not to mention making epics ingredients in the recipies would only increase the prices of epics in the first place. this is not a great idea in my opinion.....

Now with that being said i think the concept is a good one. the game needs more activities/focus points to try to spark some new life into it. BUT, the game only needs activities and focus points that are well thought out, maintained, and creative. no more of this ready, fire, aim of the recent years. please hash out all concerns, THEN implement them.

As for the items proposed themselves, here are my thoughts.

1.)Non-repairable, durability at 30, 1 point of durability loss at the 00:00 ST tick every day, and no durability loss for anything else. Unbound until equipped, once equipped durability starts ticking away.

2.)the idea of it leveling with you would be nice, if it is a 1 stat only item. If its a no stat perm buff item then the level of the item wouldn't really matter.

3.)the concept of the "ancient" creature being like a titan, spawning randomly, kind of makes it just a stronger titan doesn't it? The idea that they be treated like treasure chests is a good idea. once they spawn, they sit put(they are ancient afterall, they need to rest ALOT).

Will we see Ancient items get implemented after composing?
