    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    I believe part of the notes said you must have the items necessary in order to engrave, so maybe it's like the Teleport Stones - if you don't have the items, the option doesn't show up?

    nope it shows up cause the items you need are added just recently and it takes mirages (or perfect stones) a new orb and nirvana ore.

    Edit: 15 tokens for 3 ore and 10k for the orbs you buy the orbs from the jewelcraftsman. and the ore is obvious from the token lady.

    Edit Edit: The ore you can get is non tradable so if you plan on trying to sell them don't you will end up wasting alot of tokens like I did.

    How does one obtain said new items? And that might bring the price of mirages back up, who knows...

    The price is obnoxious for the higher engravings, which are also the only ones worth having.

    450k ish for a vague chance at +4 dex or +47 Defence or something? b:surrender

    Another question...is it only normal rings that can be engraved? Or can stats be added to mold rings, TT rings, etc.?

    TBH i view this as a new coin sink. The best engravings u need 25 polish which is 10.5k each so thats just over 250k per try and from wat Ive seen, ppl are getting **** stats over any of the good ones. Personally i was aiming for +6~7 dex but got +20 p.atk which honestly is pretty near close to the same thing. Took me four tries so maybe it depends on luck.
    If I sound like I hate you, please don't take it personally...chances are I actually do.

    I'm thinking it's all rings, Misty Forest Rings can have stats added to them.

    This is a neat new feature :>

    I've only tried up to 3rd tier/level whatever u'd call it(I'm cheap)

    and at that level you need a mirage and 3 of a certain item that the jewel craftsman himself sells under goods, cost about 10k each so at that level its cheap. Haven't tried the ones that require token item tho,

    Added like 14 mag res to my str ring, yay me lmao.

    Joking...stupid new feature, you wshould at least have the option to choose what to add for that sort of investment.

    Give it a few days and this function will not be used by anyone once everyone realises how useless it really is.

    I like this :)

    Not really that rich myself and like above poster said..It is a coin sink.. But after 500k spent, made a few "ok" ones. Will try more after I have slept..


    Attendance Ring : Perfect (Physical one) : Added Magic resist + 33

    Band of Heaven's Jail : Added Physical atk + 7 (Makes a nice total of 142 phys atk)

    And to a special ring I made in oht (Probably a rare one)

    Had : Physical atk 80 (Base)
    Physical atk 31 (1st mod)
    Physical atk 31 (2nd mod)
    Physical atk 28 (3rd mod)

    Added : Str + 3

    b:chuckle
    Proud supporter of the new expansion. Sure it has it's share of bugs, like any games. But for a pure farmer/grinder, that's a whole lot of new mobs to go beat up b:chuckle

    So yeah, you got part of my idea going I guess :D

    http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1115471

    I was thinking something a bit like this, more in depth with more control and more viability in modifying armors and weapons but this is a start. b:thanks

    Sounds like, but it doesn't add new stats, just replaces the previous one.

    I engraved 2 rings that already had 3 blue adds on them. I was really nervous as they are awesome rings I share with my other toons. Nothing fancy just OHT and the NPC one below it, but they have HP/M attack/Magic+ adds that rock.

    Anyways I got Wood Damage Reduced 2% and Earth Damage Reduced 2% ADDED to the other 3 adds as a fourth yellow add b:pleased

    Not like the best possible outcome, but better than getting phy attack lol

    I'm really hoping it means I TAKE less wood/earth damage, I don't see a difference on my stat window of my earth reduction vs. my metal/fire which would all be same or my wood vs water res while buffed with verdant shell.

    Assuming it does actually add magic defense I guess that I could kill even more spider hoards lol

    To all the demon mystics out there, Sage Break in the clouds has saved many people's lives and my own countless times. Especially in my failed caster nirv run earlier.

    And killing a giant herd of spiders after being on my psy and seeing every cleric on ther server doing it is just as fun as it looks b:chuckle

    You can see example here (best possible):
    For each class of ring own statistics, but they have not -int or -chan.

    I got +3 vit for level 9 ring and +12 magical attack for level 10 VI rank badge.

    I've been watching people engrave their R8 rings with some humorous results.

    One person got "dex 7" and another got "fire damage reduced 2%".

    Edit: Just saw a "vit 7" "magic attack 15".
