I've been hearing rumors of rank 9 coming out and was wondering what information people had if any. The rumor I heard was a 500k rep requirement. Does anyone know when it is coming out or what the equipment will look like?

Anyone know of any official source of this information or is it just wishful thinking like claws becoming bm-only?

    Rumors are also that these weapons are stronger than warsoul, but we can only wait and see...

    This is also supposedly a gallery with pictures of what could just be r9 weapons (somebody found them while poking around in the game files, they were added with patch 350).

    Yep, and in dreamweaver, good luck... I doubt Calamity/Eq. will let anyone in without a hefty millions of coins fee, even though calamity makes like 400 million a week.
    There once a time when I cared about getting to the top quickly as possible to help others. Now, I take it slow, and don't worry about having nothing to do. There's always something to do in an MMORPG, especially if you are high level. PK'ing is for those who desire to inflate their egos. True friendship comes from helping one-another, rather than to start rivalries.

    It takes 315300 Mysterious Chips to make one warsoul weapon, if you have a 100% success rate.

    Let anyone in? Yeah, I'm sure they'll let people in that want to join the faction, not people that just want to join to benefit from the lands. Calamity works hard to try to keep those sorts of people out.

    Goody, because I'll never get Rank 9 weapons then ;D

    I hate PVP, so I will never join TW. Even if I did, I'd die quickly.

    There was this one "rumor" post by Hitokeri. I'm trying to dig it up atm.

    EDIT: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=8629542&postcount=21

    In short:
    - 200k rep (he said "Rank 8 as prerequisite" so I think he means 200k rep)
    - Glorious Badge(s) from TW lands
    - only one land will get Glorious Badge(s) per week, unsure how many each week

    His source is this: http://bbs.w2i.wanmei.com/viewthread.php?tid=1585531&extra=page%3D1

    Also tells about PK Tourny coming back, TW pay changed to mirages and stuff like that. Read this thread post for more info about that: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=757092

    So map owners get better gear and apot pots. Thats nice. Here i thought game was getting balanced at some point and making TW more interestin, but i guess its the opposite.

    I don't see the point on rank IX equipment, besides Nirvana gears are OP enough as it is. And some nirvana weapons. I will keep with Nirvana gears. The devs better not make any OP endgame rank equipment that will take either years or like thousands of dollars to get that much rep

    Besides, the rank equipment are epic fail for physical classes (Venoes too since they are a hybrid class)

    That's a legit source. Posted pretty much by the equivalent of a mod/GM (not sure how PW-CN hierarchy works). Its 500k rep. From what I've read on another thread, the ring will also have -0.05 interval, channeling, and like +5 attack level or something, but it was posted by a normal player if I remember correctly so it might be speculation or it could be insider info.

    of course TW faction will ask you to pay millions for those badges, notice how TW system will be changed? From those posts it reads, TW PAY will change from in game coins to mirages. pft.. how much are mirages these days.. land gives 10mil, mirages gives 15k, u need 667 mirages to cover 10mil, and if a BIG tw faction get paid 400mil a week, you need to have 27k mirages to off set the coin loss. You know ppl easily spent 3-4mil per tw right? And barb a lot more.

    The final price for those badges will be interesting, all depends how many are required for rank 9 and how many badges one land can produce per week.
