Forgive me, I don't quite get it. What is this. Recasted R9? Which? Third?

Jaabg - Sanctuary

I did not see the forges for them. Are they available on some other npc, forge? Or not implemented yet? If not implemented, will they be introduced later?

My guess is they are made at forges inside of the Nation Wars

Yes, this is S3 (Stage 3) R9. However, it's a different version than the current S3 R9 that is available via Warsong/Lunar. This one requires materials that are most likely rewarded during Nation Wars. So you can say that it's a 2nd version of S3 R9

The npc/forge for these haven't been implemented yet according to the Encyclopedia but as Saethos said, it could possibly be inside the Nation Wars map, but if not, it'll be implemented sooner or later.

Added the armor pieces, these can be found in the PWI Encyclopedia, but since there isn't an official forge/NPC to view these, just thought it'd be easier to post here

Asterelle - Sanctuary_1381265973

These are third cast R9 items made for PWCN but translated into english (remember we share the same client as pwcn, just configured slightly different).

Since we already have our own third cast R9 it seems they have chosen not to release them here.

The forges we have are much different than those found in PWCN but they are pretty cool. We can make upgraded Sky Covers, new Cube necks, new helms, new cape. It seems like our prices are likely much less as well.

I'm actually glad though. The forges we have feel very much like they were designed to suit us better.

Oh, that actually makes sense, although it's a shame I won't be able to get that R9 chestpiece with interval b:chuckle

What Asterelle stated. As I said before, there is no reason for our version of PWI to have 2 versions of R9r2 armors. It makes no sense, and the logical way to think around it is this:

-We got our custom R9r2 from Warsong/Lunar that PWCN never got. It was stated that this one was exclusive for our version. At this stage PWCN didn't have a R9r2.

-PWCN gets their first and only version of R9r2, which is what is linked in this thread. It's really their version's and not ours. Like how our version is ours and not theirs.


And what Asterelle stated about the database is right. Remember back in my thread complaining about how limited Damascene ores were, and how the Darkness Eyes item and Aurora Agent NPC were searchable in the database/encyclopedia, but the NPC was nowhere to be found? It's similar to that. They devs just simply felt that our version did not need it, based on the drastic differences between our version of PWI and PWCN's version. This, again, is also why the database has the quest for Wedding Candy for Summerwind Tokens in it, but you can't take that quest for it in our version because the devs simply thought it would ruin the market economy/gameplay.

Another thing to note is that D orb exchange-rates on the forges are not there.

Edit: Oh, and to add on, the cost of such was somewhere around 46.9k Supply Tokens, and ~1.57 billion coins, just to get the weapon. So after R9r's initial costs of ~3 bil coin, there's another 1.57b price tag on top of that (calculated through the cost of manufacturing each mat), as well as getting 46.9k supply tokens.

And if we guesstimate we get 100 ST per war that's non-stashable or tradable, that's 469 wars to be in, which is 235 weeks, or 4.5 years of constantly going to each war.

But.. but.. Ares. It's so cool. R9R3 sucks donkey balls compared to that. It's so sexy. Can someone invent a server transfer stone that'll take me to PWCN? I want that black R9 armor. I will sit here and play again solely to get that. Paying top in-game dollar as I do not have money. Let's make it happen.

I would also like if the armor skins were changed too Our r9r2 doesn't look as epic as theirs.

But in terms of effectiveness in PvP, KawaiiJen already posted on many class subforums the differences between their set and ours. Ours is more offensive-based, while theirs is more defensive-based.

Zanryu - Lothranis

I like defense. It makes me feel defensy.

My issue is stats variability with our set. Getting max stats on all gear pieces, or close to them, will be very hard.

There are 5 instances of str 6~12, 4 gear mods of hp 120~200, weapon has str 8~20+ attack lvl 10~25 + crit 3~6.

To me that is 38~80 str, 480~800 hp, 10~25 attack lvls, 3~6 crit.

Had this been g16 gear that is "easy" enough to farm, i wouldn't mind this. But after spending so much on the recast gear, and still have this amount of variability, makes things slightly icky for me.

_Skai_ - Raging Tide

Well it's possible to spend time re-rolling the stats. Just farm the badges/essences and try, and once satisfied, start sharding/refining.

When you enter an instance (or Morai) the encyclopedia will say it is made at the ''Cauldron of'' and cuts it off right there. So the forges are at least within a different map, very likely to be NW.
