Hey Everyone,
I know you've all been in the dark about the new upgrade system, so here's a little sneak peek of how it will work!
Notes
- The Upgrade Kit levels will be u14, u28, u42, u56, and u70
- As the level goes up, the Kit drop rate will become lower
- Level 14 Kits will be the most common, and probably have a drop rate similar to Dragon Balls
- Level 70 Kits will be the most rare, and probably have a drop rate similar to the current stone drop rate
- There will no longer be higher drop rates based on mob rarity
- For example, Supers will have the same drop rate as normal mobs
- Stones will be removed from quest rewards, drops, and popo boxes
- All stones in your inventory will be replaced with another reward
- Stones are not gone forever, they will be reworked into another new item
- The upgrade rate is still 100% success
- The Upgrade Kits are tradable
Crafting Details
- Starting at u28, the Upgrade Kits can be crafted
- Each kit requires 5 of the previous tier, 50 of each material, and a Zeni cost starting at 50,000
- For example, a u28 Weapon Upgrade Kit requires 5 u14 Weapon Upgrade Kits, 50 of each special material 02, and 50,000 Zeni
- Each recipe will drop from different enemies/bosses around the world, along with UD, TMQ, and BID bosses
- You must be at least crafting level 9 to begin crafting, and you must be at least the level of the tier below to use the recipe
- For example, to craft a u28 Weapon Upgrade Kit, you must be at least character level 14, and crafting level 9
- The recipes are permanent
I'll hopefully have this in your hands just before or at the start of cap 55. We still have to do a bunch of testing, and change all the quest rewards, and a few other changes.
