    One gathering of items + your r8 and you have random stat G15 to reroll. There is no "stage 1."

    Good to hear. Skipping the extra stage potentially should make this much easier to farm.
    What short end of the stick you get in fists you just got a blessing with adv purge axes for TW. >_>

    Oh I'm sure those who TW will be grinning from ear to ear. But for those who PvE and 1 vs 1 Pk... no question Sins with their GoF R8 fists have now moved much further up the damage ladder while everyone else is pretty much stuck on the same rung.

    Sins with r8 fists we're all doomed. b:shocked

    It will not be much easier to farm at all. I consider all the quest chains to be roughly delta length time wise. 1 run = 1 coin (90 coins = 1 token of 15 you need for weapon). You get 1 or 2 (depends on quest) "pack(s)" per completion of said quest chain with a .75% chance to get 3 of the tokens needed to get the weapon. This is the rarest of the mats, but as you can see that's THE ONLY 2 ways to get it and that's not going to be fun.

    BM's already 90% support. I don't think I can bare throwing away my last 10% of pew pew by using axes with adv purge instead of GoF. There's something about dropping a zerk HF and watch everything burn.

    Meh... you already have R9 axes if I understand correctly ?

    What's to stop you from having both R9 axe and R8 purge axe (unless you happened to have chosen R8 pole b:shocked ) on hot key ?

    Purge with one and then kill with the other.

    Because you'd be sacrificing your pew pew super hax zerk damage to purge people. HF zerk crits are sexy, HF purge hits are just "Hey thanks mister BM, now we take all the super awesome hits and you just keep purging buddy!"

    Sadly, I have 2 pairs of GoF axes, Nirvana (made before R9 sale) and R9. I already chose pole =[.

    Thank you Traz for all the info regarding r8/9 recasts you had compiled and is sharing with us/keeping us updated, and a few other people too. I very much appreciate it. b:thanks I think this is something that the gms should have done too, instead of keeping us in the dark until the very end. But, what ever.

    Just saw the pictures you had linked in the first post, those recast weapons look pretty neat to own.

    Is it just me who thinks that the recast claymore that the seeker has in this picture (scroll down to the very last) is a bit too huge? If the toon was standing on the ground, 1/3 of the claymore would be hidden in the ground.

    I'm gonna send the pwdatabase guy an email to see if he can fix it.
    Yep, it was error. Fixed now.
    If you have any otehr suggestions feel free to ask.

    Well that was easy lol...

    Now we have the missing percentages from nirvana gear: http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/25665

    and
    the r8 recast weapons: http://www.pwdatabase.com/cn/items/32263
    and the armor: http://www.pwdatabase.com/cn/items/32276

    How come no one emailed him before <_<

    LA Chest -int = 1.47%
    HA Chest -int = 1.37%
    LA Boot -int = .15%
    HA Boot -int = .15%

    With 3 stats per armor:
    LA Chest
    Chance of 1 x -.05 int = 4.28% : 1 in 23 chance
    Chance of 2 x -.05 int = .064% : 1 in 1566 chance
    Chance of 3 x -.05 int = .0003% : 1 in 314,810 chance

    HA Chest
    Chance of 1 x -.05 int = 4.1% : 1 in 25 chance
    Chance of 2 x -.05 int = .055% : 1 in 1800 chance
    Chance of 3 x -.05 int = .000257% : 1 in 388,900 chance

    LA/HA Boots
    Chance of 1 x -.05 int = .45% : 1 in 223 chance
    Chance of 2 x -.05 int = .0007% : 1 in 148,370 chance
    Chance of 3 x -.05 int = .00000034% : 1 in 296,296,296 chance


    EDIT. Lol the chance for interval on daggers / fist isnt .6%.. its 0.13% have fun with that.. Really the only people that will be benefiting from more interval is going to be BMs with a 1 in 25 chance of interval on the chest. There's not going to be any other reasonable -int

    Not sure I understand your recasting costs for r9.

    Wines are only 10 tokens not 20, and tokens only average about 10-11k per. So I'm not sure how you get 400 mill for a 40m calculation.

    I think you have one 0 missing from your calculation.


    Recasting Costs
    You will need wedding candies which are only available if you get married or through tokens. This put the cost around 100m per armor piece and 400m for the weapon. Chienkuns will not be required in the recasting process for rank 9 pieces.

    Weapon Recast Cost
    2,000 wedding candies (20 Tokens = 2 Wedding Wines = 1 Wedding Candy)
    2,000 candies * 20 tokens * 10,000 coins = 400,000,000

    Armor Recast Cost
    500 wedding candies (20 Tokens = 2 Wedding Wines = 1 Wedding Candy)

    2,000 = 3 zeros
    20 = 1 zero
    10,000 = 4 zeros

    Total zeros = 8

    40,000,000 = 7 zeros
    400,000,000 = 8 zeros

    You tell me which is the right answer =D

    Since the adds are listed like on Nirvana gear, I'm going to say yes. You will lose the -0.1 already on the armor. However, the recasted R8 has a set bonus of that, so you could add boots, wrists, and top with a total of -0.15, which could but you exactly where you were before with Ashura pieces. You'd be out the pants -int, unless you got it on your R8 pants as well.

    I'm getting less and less excited about r8 recast all the time. The cost and the chances mean I'm better off sticking with r8/nirvana for my aps then spending so much to get right where i was in the first place

    For r8 recast, I think it would still cost less than a piece of nirvana equipment (1 for 1). You are upgrading it to G15, and can have better stats on weapon and the set bonus is almost as good as nirvana.

    Unfortunately, I think this might kill the game (even more). During 2x, all people do is spam nirvana, lunar and TTs for the mats. With this r8 recast, it will diminish the need for the mats from those instances. TT set, Nirvana set, Lunar set...all will be obsolete (in terms of gears for the middle class). When their demand goes down, so will their value. Then more people will just stop farming those instances as a way to obtain coins.

    I think the Guild base instance can only be run 3 times a week apparently and most of the mats I see on pwdb are from quest rewards and not drops I think.

    The only real game changers I see alot of people going for are BMs going for a -.05 R8 recast chest to get 5.0 unsparked and for Clerics / Venos / maybe Psychics getting R8 recast Purify-Spell weapon. There isn't anything really that special for anyone else that you can't get from nirvana.

    Other people like me are just gonna buy up tokens to spam wedding candies for R9 recast only for PWE to come out with a massive wedding candy sale later just to troll us.

    But, it does add the opportunity for people to sell the recast mats. Also, TT won't be completely done for. People will still need gear from 60-90, unless they plvl from lvl 1 <,<

    And who knows, maybe they will have a 3rd cast Nirvana.

    On a side note, I'm interested to see how this will play out in PWC. They don't get rank gear very often. Its mostly about Nirvana over there. What will they end up doing when people over there start getting this stuff?

    3 tries a chest, so the actual chance of getting one -.05 is higher unlike the chance to get it per add-slot.

    I'd probably still go for the bow / axes / sword though. You forgot barbs really benefit too. My barb will now be going for chestplate as first priority and I'll be 5.0 sage (then G15 claws 4.0 base with revenge and 5.0 with revenge sage bp with windshield). :D

    PWC does have a 3rd cast vana, they just have not or much more likely will not release it here, hell PW Brazil and Australia the newest of all the servers already have all of this stuff, and PW Russia got the EG, bases the rank recast and EG r9 in one giant update not too long ago if and when we get this stuff will be when the China devs deam us worthy, when ever the hell that will be

    Now that we can easily see PW-CN gear in PWDB it's easy to squash rumors like this.

    Compare these:

    http://www.pwdatabase.com/cn/items/25665

    There is no 3rd cast in the chinese version.

    Its a proven scientific fact that any large update (and many of the smaller ones) spells the end of the world, in every MMO ever, ever. Read patch speculation threads on any MMO out there if you don't believe me.
