Here is some new about the new dungeon that i have mentioned in another thread be4.
'A new dungeon(w/ only bosses, no mobs inside) in which u can upgrade your TT gear and Lunar Glaide gear's grade lvl and appearance will be added.'

The name of this dungeon hasnt been published yet..lets just call it Temple of Metempsychosis

Which weapon can be upgrade? ( yes / no / not sure)
all TT equipments below lv99
TT99 gold weapons
TT99 armors
TT100 weapons(I lol'd at those who spent thousands of rl money to get TT100 and rank8 weapons..)
Rank weapons(u got scammed again..)
Rank armors
Frostcoverd weapons
Frostcoverd armors
Lunar Glaide weapons
Lunar Glaide armors
Old heaven Tears gears
Boots Helms cloaks from aniversary event


Will they release Rank 9?
no, at least in a short time, no.


what do u mean 'upgrade'?

1st Step
upgrade your gear's grade lvl to 15 and upgrade its basic stat to G15

    for example ★Neo Pugatory G13 atk 800-1200 → ★Neo Pugatory G15 900-1350.
    the appearance of your weapon will change from this step.(b:victoryfinally...my Neo Pugatory will look better...it looks like a **** on a stick atm b:cry)

    2nd Step
    upgrade additional stats to G15 stats (I heard that weapons will get atk lvl +20, not sure) ★★Neo Pugatory
    now, u can get set bonus stat from your G15 armors if u have enuf amount of them.

    3rd Step (circulative step)
    From this step, u can keep refreshing some of the stats on your gear and get a random grade15 stat till it makes u content.
    for example: U have chance to get 'advanced berserker' which is better than 'berserker' for your melee weapon.(here is an unreliable version of description: Advanced Berserker: Has a chance to inflict 300%-500% damage at the cost of 5% HP, becomes immune to all negative effects for 4 seconds, but u will loose all your chi instantly.)

    And there will be a new kind of stat for G15 armor: inscrease equipment defence by %. With this stat, the G15 armor will have a bit lower basic defence , but it will effectively counteract defence decreasing debuff from skills.

    What mats should i pay for the upgrade?
    U need 3 kind of stuff to upgrade:
    1. your old weapon
    2. mats from bosses in new dungeon
    3.transfer stones to keep the refine lvl and sockets(from cashshop, this is scammmmmmmmm...)

    Is this new dungeon hard?
    Please compare this one to the new FrostCoverd city, the difficulty r almost the same.
    Dev: The bosses in this dungeon will have more funny skills than those in FC...muahahaaha,prepare to run when boss talks...
    Each run will take about 1-1.5 hour for a normal party.
    But if u want to upgrade your gear to G15 final form..there will be a long loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go..

    Looks like a slap in the face to people who spent tons of money IRL for packs stuff, I approve.

    If a weapon is refined and you upgrade it does it lose it's refinement?

    can't upgrade past crafted gears nor lunar event capes but you can upgrade the lunar armor capes like the ones you craft using the essences and junk.

    Probably in the same vein as spurring a mount or adding widgets. No decomposition of the original item, just X+Y=Z. (For "Ze uber pwnage" if you will)

    Wonder what TT99 Lorebeasts would become at G15? >:}

    Will the level requirements stay the same on the equipment, or is this being done with the expectation of max level being raised?

    Are you serious? So the people who just got jumped to end game with packs are getting EVEN MORE of a jump forward?

    What the hell are these devs thinking? They must really not like their player base because it seems everything theyre doing is to push them out.

    This is going to bring the balance back to players who worked hard for their gear and will work hard for their gear!

    I don't think that it will change the lvl req just the grade of the item.

    Example

    TT99 Gold MSword

    G12 ----> G15

    giving it a stronger attack, better bonuses, and a possible +20 to attack

    On top of that transfering a + over will require botique items to do. (soo imo if you don't have it refined yet or don't even have it wait until this is confirmed or denyed to save some cash on Dorbs or the refining transfer)

    I'm pretty sure it will. Crafted OTH gear lvl requirements go higher as you hit 3* and gold.

    It goes right from 12 --> 15?

    Or you have to do the same process for 13 and 14

    Props for the info, a few questions if i may...

    As mentioned, you make it sound like the grade jumps straight from whatever the current grade is to 15 (i.e. Neon Purgatory from 13 to 15) after you get all the mats etc... There is no way that would happen and if it does, the bosses probably wont be defeated by a group of 100's....

    As far as I thought, the transfer stones only worked with the same or lower grade gear not going upwards. It would be INCREDIBLE if you could keep the refining. *crosses fingers*

    You also make the instance sound relatively easy being able to complete in about one hour. Looking at how difficult the newest Warsong area is, I highly doubt they will make this new instance as easy as the new Frostcovered City. Especially when dealing with increasing weapon/gear stats/grade.


    Lastly, if it's not too much to ask, where are you getting this information from? I dont doubt the information that you posted, but it's always nice seeing it at the source as well. Know what i mean?

    Where on earth is the sources for this guy? Theres no relative links or evidence to support any of this dude's posts on tideborns and dungeons etc. Spoons in another post did say 'info gathered from other regions may not be applied here.' so Im having a hard time beliving OP's information.

    oh..well..information for this thread comes from [URL=":http://bbs.w2i.wanmei.com/viewthread.php?tid=1410264&extra=page=1"]here[/URL]
    Its a thread posted by PWI-CN developers @ perfectwolrd international forum > face-to-face w/ devs> in which he answers questions from players and release news about TideBorn expansion every few days.

    No need to doubt about the authenticity.
    I didnt link the source cuz they r all in chinese...

    Well, some of it sounded really.. odd to me, so I was questioning it. Such as assassins using dex for damage made no sense to me whatsoever, you know?

    Well no offense but U probably dont understand cuz ur lvl 50, or u dont understand what an Assasian is, SO 2 clear the air. Assasians are like Melee Archers, THeir main goal is 2 kill and Kill quick, No tanking, No Ticking of Charms, Just blow them away b4 they can kill you or even touch u.

    Now Being that the Assasian are 1. LA class (BIG disadvantage) 2. ANd 2 having them be Melee, this Dex/Dagger build is right on target. Why? Because if they dont dodge attacks, they are pretty much a Sitting Duck just askin 2 get R*Ped by mobs, and other melee pkers by that matter. Also this build might also confirm the Assasian has 1 or 2 ranged skills up his sleeve like throwing stars, Dagger, etc.

    So this Idea is general is a great idea, you just need 2 get used to it.

    I didnt doubt the authenticity. It's just always nice to see where the info is coming from. There was too much detailed info for you just to make up IMO.

    From my understanding, only PWI-CN have refine transfer stone because they do not have Dragon Orbs in their boutique. We don't have transfer stone in this version since we do have Dragon Orbs. So take that into consideration.. we might not even have everything needed to take advantage of item upgrade.

    Look at the refine transfer requirements again and you will find that they mention nothing about gear grade requirement. Only restriction I notice is that the refinement level of the original gear must be higher than the gear that's getting the refines transferred onto. Original gear then will have 0 refines while the other gear will have the refinement level of the original. Higher refinements will require more transfer stones.
