Recently, chinese developers have added some new G16 gear files into game.

By searching up the Encyclopedia ingame, these new g16 gears are crafted from 2nd cast nirvana gears.

you will need some new mats(attack/defence essence) to recast instead of nirvana crystals, dont ask me where to farm them-_-

http://w2i.178.com/201203/126949550628.html

ex: ★Lionheart Armor Awaken

oso, u can find new rank9 gears crafted by the new mats

http://bbs.178.com/viewthread.php?tid=11626252&extra=&page=2


the developer says that they wont release these gears on PWI-china, instead these gears are made for US server.

why? to balance the gameplay ruined by rank9&packs sale?

    I can just see the discussion that led to this....


    "This rank 9 sale is really popular in the U.S. we've brought in a huge profit this quarter."

    "but people are complaining that it's too game breaking"

    "well how about we introduce a way to reforge nirvana gear to be as powerful as rank 9? The necessary materials will only be available from packs of course."

    "That's great! But the people who already have rank 9 may complain..."

    "Not to worry! We'll just let them use the same materials to reforge their rank 9 into gear that's even more game breaking!"


    "...Brilliant."

    i dont see any1 who can even afford to just upgrade full rank9 set with summerwind tokens(which cost more than 2 set of rank9) yet.

    so the 2nd recast rank9 sounds unobtainable for rank9 players.

    There are people who will pour money into the game for it. I think (I stress think) there is someone on DW who has r9 recast. If anything the wep would be worth doing.

    By balance they mean the nirvy recast? Are they using the same mats for both r9 and nirvy? If that is true, then I dont see nirvy people "upgrading" either cause too expensive.

    Also I think PWI will make it very possible via cash shop, as they did r9. At one point that too was considered impossible.

    heh...

    We can't even really get 2nd cast atm because of lack of token option.

    Guess this will remain in the "extremely inplausible" or "you must be crazy" range.

    One person on Harshlands has full R9 recast, another with just the chest (so far). I also know someone who is aiming to get it as well.

    There is a Wizzy on DW with full R9 recast +12 everything.

    No the weapon isn't worth doing by itself since chances are you'll lose both your original recast R9 set bonus and fail to gain whatever new set bonus the second cast R9 set will give. PWE isn't stupid... they know how deep American pockets are. Either second cast the whole thing or GTFO b:shutup

    On another note.... never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would see any kind of computer game (doesn't matter if its F2P or P2P) charge for it's pixels literally enough money to buy a mid sized sedan... and yet still find willing buyers everywhere.

    Yes Devs, CLEARLY your cash-shop gear required yet ANOTHER upgrade...
    While the 3rd Tier NV gear does sound interesting, I'm curious as to how it will compare with R8 Recast, and if the materials required are able to be farmed or sold between players...

    Can we possibly get a translation of possible adds and the 3rd stage NV stuff? How many adds can you get, which adds, is it auto 2/4 socket etc.

    I'm all for getting better gear as the game evolves, but there needs to be the content to justify it. At the moment there's no content to even justify Rank 9 nevermind recast and 2nd recast. Every single thing in game can be done with mediocre TT99 gear. PvP, I'm biased, I found it 100x more fun fighting and being in TT70-TT99 gear.

    Were gunna end up with a game where we have to remorgage our houses to afford endgame gear. And there's a point where someone says, "Is it worth spending $5000 on something that I can get for nearly free with another company?"

    For a caster getting purify on wep and whatever extra atk lvls is worth losing 1 bonus stat the 6th piece give 20 atks lvl which will be made back if you get the extra 25 atk lvl on wep.
