Hi there guys,

The issue of upgrading old items has been on the list for a while, however its taking some time. I'd like your help in suggesting older items that could/should be upgraded for the higher levels.

So far we have:

• Eye of Ra-Ha-Tep shield
• Charmed Pyroxene Ring
• Godlike Benevolence Ring
• Robes of Phasmatis
• Nomadian Shield

And more boots and trinkets.



If you do have a suggestion, please list what level and why you think they should be upgraded. (Please refrain from derailing the topic) :)

Thanks!

Eye of Ra-Ha-Tep shield

Charmed Pyroxene Ring

Godlike Benevolence Ring

Robes of Phasmatis

also since robes of phasmatis used nightmare cleaver (i think) have the upgrade make a weapon a little inferior to the mandiblade pyschic and prehensiles


and while we are talking old upgrades how about multi-ring+ even if it is jst one extra ring. two would be nice even tho at my ;level means about jack squat.

cryptic ultisimo amulet

and how about a trinket that combines the charm of learning love with the storm trinket, not needed at my level, but since they combined lovers trinket and charm of learning, why not take it a step farther

the more complex the quests the more pre-req quests the better

i will look in my inventory for suggestions on other older quests to add too. :D




the ult, charmed, and bene ring upgrades would be a nice suprise, since all have either speed or spell resist on them, the same spirit should be upheld. and do not forget to keep the same skills on them, the last bene ring upgrade left out the +mining smelting stuff



not so much an equipment upgrade, but how about a further addition to the blessing of ares no more than 2-3 % tho



mayhaps combine the nomad shield with the eye of ra-ha-tep (min level 8k) to create a totally badass shield

then combine that shield with the hybrid scales shield (min level 35k) for another huge boost

oh and cut that -ap shit out on the shields

Only 1 problem with the shield suggestion bud, the nomad shield is 55k restricted quest.

i do like the increased blessing of ares though, something at or around lvl 75-80k and make it like 10-15 percent increase, since at lvl 2k it gives 5 percent

Nomadian Shield is 55k to receive. I have been planning to writing a quest to fix this shield.
It has always irritated me that a few months after reaching the 55k goal to receive this shield that a 22k character could have a better shield.
Now no offence to the 22k characters a good shield is a must.
However a 55k character has definantly earned a better one.
I would like to create a duel part quest one for mages and the other for warriors.
This way both can have a nice shield for reaching the required level.
This quest will be simular to elemental immunity. 3 shields etc.
3 warrior based shield 3 mage based shields.
I'll try to make it both fun and slightly difficult to accomplish.
I'll try to write it up this week under suggestions.

I'm sure I can think of others as well. ;)

awesome idea pac. oh and please spend more than 45 pence in designing it. the hybrid scale shield looked like crap considering it "supposedly" had the scale of what 5 diff dragons. it should have in theory had red, gold, white, black, and maybe green in the mix. prolly a diff combo since i forget the kinds of dragons involved

Skill: Blessing of Athenan level 17500 or 22500
Gain 5% to AC, DEF, ATK, DEF, and MP.



Level 55k or 100k
Skill: Blessing of Omnis 7% to Att, def, ac, dmg, wis, ap, hp, mp, mining, smelting, foraging

for 100k how about a quest that negates ALL sub class negatives?> fairly minor i suppose,. but would be a nice thank you for spending the money to get that far. just make 3 rewards at the end of the quest. one for war, mage, miner. :D where the -% is negated, with say the -75% mp tpo warriors warriors gain +75% etc

Here is a thought too.
Some new skills perhaps.

My first thought will be for enchanters.
One that would reduce the amount of items needed to enchant.

2nd would be for orbing to increse the amount of orbs created much like the mining and smelting skills.

And also the tome quest allowed 5 extra sp to be added to each skill but the 5 character specific skills from the pandoara realm only increase in blocks of 25 points. May be add 20 more to those skills.

How about some kind of new slottable out of the Rare Wyvern Talons?
or some other mixer we don't use much.

Some thing for say boots or trinkets?

Just a thought 8)

I haven't the faintest as to the actual mechanics yet, but think that overall, I would rather see upgrades to quest items rather than new items. For instance, the ultimismo quests are great. They take a quest item, and upgrade it to be viable up to whatever level. While there are folks out there that might sell one, making an item that you want to keep from level 100 to 150k, and having a series of quests to upgrade it is far better than anything else.

(I know, likely just adding words to a thread, rather than anything really constructive, save support for the idea.)


Editted to add:

I like part of Pacmansb suggestion. Rather than new items though, make the upgrades use mixers and bars that are not used often. Or even require really stupid items that are plentiful to start the quest for upgrades.

Part of quest idea:

Teridia Anomoly x,x

1."Hey stanger, you wouldn't have something to write on would you? Ever since I visited the Library of ages, I have been trying to duplicate the card catalouge they have there. If you can get me 1000 vial of squigmar notes and 500 Ventras notes, I will let you have this really old Blacksmithing volume."

2."Oh, thanks! You have no clue how much this will help out! These are the perfect sizes to fit all the information on!"
-You gain one 'Advanced Blacksmithing for magical items' volume (recipe)

-'Advanced Blacksmithing for magical items'
"combine x amount Rare Wyvern Talons, 500 void stones, x number of another mixer or three."

3.-Success! you have created the 'ring to bind em all together' recipe!

Recipe reads something along the lines of "take half the bars currently in the game and forge em all together with 'godlike ring of benevolence' at darkwater x,x (Blimey, that rings shiny forge) to get 'benevolent ring of the pantheon' (stats to be figured out by yall)

Hero to benjirocks, what else matters?

it is still a half decent ring, but could use an upgrade: rogue ring

how about combining the supreme or last stage of torment ring with rogue ring to make a tormented rogue ring

not trying to derail the topic , but i guess ill use the boots as my jumping point , upgrades to boots yes , but what happened to my damn 5th tier skills?

also it would be nice to have sets with bonuses applied to equipped full sets (as in FS and SS2)

and the enchants need some help too,such as master orber skill , and maybe some other specialized enchants

and finally , some class specific quests to put class specific skills on certain items would be just swell

i can elaborate if desired

I think it doen not really matter which items are upgraded, but use especially the too weak ones that nobody equips.

Do not use too many invasion drops, too many of them are lost forever in players that left.

Be realistic in stats upgrades. After someone has added tens of thousends level-up points to stats, getting a few tens or hundred from an item is not a great boost. So for items with a minimum required level of over 20000 give around 5 - 10% of the minimum required level.

And add Drop Luck Elite on a non-invasion item or as a quest reward.

We have that on the Cow God gems available from a level 50k restricted quest.

I too would like to see an upgrade to the Ra-Ha-Tep shield and the Phasmatis Robes. It wouldn't have to be a huge boost in stats, but simple (and awesome looking) updates to both might help inspire me :D
