Official patch notes

Shattered Gear, Safety Lock, PVP, and YOU!

A new PVP equipment drop/damage system has been implemented. The following rules now apply during PVP combat:

Gear Shattered
Items and equipment that are on a character are subject to Gear Shatter. Gear Shatter is caused when a player is killed in Player versus Player combat.

What happens to the gear when it is shattered?
When a gear is shattered, the item will lose all its base and enhanced stats, and become ineffective in battle. The item can still be equipped, but it will have no effect. The items subject to Gear Shattering are weapons, armor, tomes, and aerogear. If an aerogear has been shattered, it cannot be used for flight.

Why do I drop Chi Stones after I've died and my equipment is shattered?
Upon your character dying and a gear being shattered, a certain amount of Chi Stones will drop from you. These Chi stones will vary in amount and can be picked up by whomever (most likely the person who has killed you). The type of Chi Stones dropped is the same type that you will need to repair your Shattered gear. The amount of Chi Stones dropped are an indication of how many Chi Stones you will need to repair your Shattered equipment, and the type of Chi Stone is related to the level of the Shattered equipment.

How do I repair Shattered gear?
Speak to a Blacksmith, Craftsman, or Tailor, and select the Repair option to bring up the Shattered Gear repair window. You can mouse over the Shattered item to see what type and amount of Chi Stone is needed.

The amount of Chi Stones need for repair = the amount of Chi Stones dropped + 20%. For example, if your shattered gear dropped 10 Chi Stones, the amount needed for repair will be 12.

The following rules apply in regards to Safety Lock, PVP and Gear Shatter.

Gear Shattered with Safety Lock ON:
Players with their Safety Lock ON will no longer drop items due to being killed during player vs. player combat. However, players with Safety Lock ON will be subject of a higher percentage of Gear Shatter (the percentage that upon being killed an item will be shattered).

The percentage that an item will shatter upon being killed in PVP (Safety Lock ON):
White and Pink name players = 1%
Light Red players = 2%
Red players = 3%
Dark Red players = 4%

Gear Shattered with Safety Lock OFF:
Players with their Safety Lock OFF will be subject to the normal item drop rules. That is, players who are killed during player versus player combat will still drop items as normal. (See our website for further details on the item drop percentages http://pwi.perfectworld.com/guide/pvp).

The percentage that an item will shatter upon being killed in PVP (Safety Lock OFF):
White and Pink name players = 0%
Light Red players = 1%
Red players = 2%
Dark Red players = 3%

    So basically this makes it so even bound items are affected in PK mode, but instead of dropping, they are broken and have to be fixed.

    Yeah, not one of the better ideas PWI has had.

    Personally, I think the idea is terrible. But since it seems like it's here to stay, I anticipate that Guardian Angels and Mirage Stones are going to become more in demand and rise in price. Time to start hoarding, methinks?

    sounds like a pretty typical PWI move


    give protection from gear dropping to reduce QQ, implement shatter so we're still item dependant.


    yay!


    september cant come fast enough

    This feature sounds like a balance against the 'bound equipment' feature. We'll see how it works out.

    Rpkers out in force today to qq b:chuckle

    Well u cowards. This is actually an attempt to return somewhat to true pvp. At least you can take consolation that removing bound feature all together is not an option for the dev.

    A new candy is released at the candy store.


    I'm hungry. My current candy tastes stale and costs too much, which is stupid because it's described as a free 2 eat candy.

    That does not stop people from thinking that the grass is always greening on the other side of the fence..... until they get there and see how brown it really is.....
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    @Tearvalerin this doesn't affect anything if you used dolls so...

    Its 4% to shatter if his bright red.

    So on average he can die 20+ times until he loses out, and even then i dunno if all items break or only 1.

    But for people with regular items, they wont even need dolls to pk anymore, will be much cheaper with safety lock on...
