Also why do people keep saying Hypers don't work in FCC in PW-CN? I find that hard to believe.

This was a point of discussion a while back wsn't it? That players on PW-CN were amazed that we can activate hypers inside FCC here?

If no one has r9 in china, why would they make it hard to recast? The point is to make them want to get it.

China makes money off of us though. I'm not saying it's going to more then what it cost to get the r9 gear but it most likely is not gonna be dirt cheap either. What is cool though is when you re-cast your r9 you do NOT lose your sockets, shards, or refines. I find that to be neat and very good

But also yea, I could see them making it like 6-8 GST. I mean it's not like it's really doing anything but adding on 1 bonus to gear and such. However I do wonder if r9 will need things like r8 will need. R8 gear requires the new guild base instance to farm one of the essential items for the gear. (you can do the base instance 3 times a week and a max of 100 people can enter)

If that is the case then I do not see r9 reforging to be a lot of GST because you will need other items (that must be farmed) instead of just the GST alone.

Old rank 8 heavy BP has: 1493 physical resistance, and 640 on magic. The new one has 2176 and 931 right off the bat. Plus you can get 4 blue stats vs 3 on the old ones, which you can recast over and over as long as you have the new drops from the guild base dungeons.

OK, something seems off here. By BP are you referring to Breast Plate, meaning Torso?

Current R8 HA
Torso: 1812 Pdef 775 Mdef
Pants: 1493 Pdef, 640 Mdef

Lunar NV / R9 HA
Torso: 2092 Pdef 895 Mdef
Pants: 1793 Pdef 770 Mdef

Any way you cut it, NV gets smoked by the new upgraded R8 stats. b:sad



I seriously hope that NV gear gets an upgrade, even something as simple as filling in the 3 and 4 piece set bonus.

Another thing that people have to take into consideration is the grade of gear. r8 will now be able to have all these very 'nice' upgrades but the gear will still refine as a grade 12 (though the starting stats on the r8 gear is as though it is g13.5 if you do the math) Will pwi make r8 gear g15 just like NV if you reforge them?

Another thing that we need to consider is set bonuses. With this expansion will they put in set bonuses with the armor? If they do not them in some aspects NV gear may still be be better.

I have a better question, when you reroll your weapon... do you lose all your refine and sockets.

that would be funny for people with r9+12 icebourne/josd b:chuckle

the more interesting question is if the chi nerf is going to be in effect no matter what spark you use or only 3rd spark?

Yes, the new guild base dungeon is not going to be a walk in the park. They allow 100 players in there for a reason. Oh, and you can only activate it three times per week. Rank 8 is easy to get here, new rank 8 won't be so easy.

We've been told that the mats are tradable. Thus it being done only 3 times a week won't matter since you have hundreds of players in all the different factions with bases running this instance those three times. What really determines how easily available the new re-casted Rank 8 becomes depends on how the drops used for re-rolling are spawned. If drops come from only bosses then how do you reward the hundred people who helped to kill that boss ?

Split and sell ? b:laugh

In that case this new instance will be doomed to failure as no one in their right mind will run it (outside of the initial fun factor of course and even that will soon wear off as the complaints mount) if only guild leaders get first pick.

Now on the other hand if the drops come from the mobs themsleves within the dungeon, you'll soon find there will be a glut of mats on the market (similar to TT mats) where they will become dirt cheap... making everyone and their dog Rank 8 Gods. b:avoid

Recasting R9 will allow transfers for free I think.

The selling point for the new Rank 8 weapons is that you can customized it by recasting until you get the stats you want.

I posted this earlier for the new Rank 8 bow, you can only have one stat from list 1, but you can have multiple stats from list 2, up to three.

These you can only get once (list 1):
attack level 10 - 25
defense level 10 -25
critical attack 3% - 6%
十方八阵
requirement -25%
碎灵池
轰雷破

These you can have multiples (list 2):
dex +8 - 20
str +8 -20
vit +8 - 20
attack level 1 -5
def level 1 - 5
HP 120 - 300
chi 200 - 400
accuracy 10% - 50%
crit 1% - 2%
phy def. 150 -450
mag def. 150 -450
phy damage red. 1 - 5%
mag damge red. 1 - 5%
interval -0.05

As you can see, interval -0.05 is in list 2, so conceivably, you can have -0.05 three times if you are oh so lucky. This applies to all melee weapons, so even seeker will be able to get 5.0 with the new Rank 8 if they are lucky.

Also conceivably, you can have a dagger with God of Frenzy and a attack range of 8.5 meters. b:laugh

The selling point for the new Rank 8 weapons

So what about the people that have current rank 8? They have to rebuy them? That does not sound right. I think all rank 8 will be the same, it will just be able to recast.

In addition if you have a .6 percent chance of getting -.05 int then your chances of getting it x 3 is almost non-existant.

I don't think the original post stressed how the -interval stat had a 10 times lower chance than the rest of the stats. Here's how many rolls you need on average to X -.05 interval adds on recasted R8 vs G15 Nirvana.

Recasted G15 R8 Average Rerolls (.6211% chance)
1 x -.05 interval between hits = 54 rerolls
2 x -.05 interval between hits = 8,694 rerollls
3 x -.05 interval between hits = 4,173,281 rerolls

G15 Nirvana Average Rerolls (5% chance)
1 x -.05 interval between hits = 10.5 rerolls
2 x -.05 interval between hits = 400 rerollls

Unless the cost to reroll R8 weapons is significantly cheaper than the cost to reroll G15 we shouldn't see a large increase in the chance to get g15 5.0 weapons.

What about magic weapons? I didn't find any info about them. What stats they have?

I can't do google translate but it looks like it has -3~10% channel unique stat and a -1~3% channel secondary stat.

So you could get 10% and 3x 3% channel. I think you can also get that hax purify spell unique stat.

That's probably requirement -25%. The -3% ~10% is the channeling since it matches with the -1%~3% secondary stat.

It also seems to have 2 possible procs which are probably Purify Spell and Infinite (procs you see on Guild Base magic weaps and PWIC weaps).

It has that one secondary stat that is +10% ~ 50% and I am guessing that's evasion lol. The rest match up with the possible things on the dagger more or less.

how about finaly giving bm's r9 claws or fists.....

Sefiere - Sanctuary

hmm this just made gettin rank 8 for my bm alot more interesting. But then again..with such low odds for some of the nicer add ( like -int) im not sure yet, have to wait and see.
