Lich Robe

According to Jude1004.com (http://lineage.jude1004.com/news/index.asp?pg=/news/view.asp&cts_id=5012), a player on the Korean non-PvP Test server has managed to 1:1 Lich using only his mage and as luck would have it, got the Lich Robe.

Before we mention the Lich Robe, we should point out that players on the Korean Test server have been using a strategy of using large numbers of blank scrolls to defeat bosses with fewer players than expected. The player interviewed advised to "not be stingy with Counter Magic" but didn't specify further how the blank scrolls were being used. In addition, they said that this strategy has worked on many bosses, even the most difficult ones, such as Phoenix.

Anyway, on to the Lich Robe. With Meditation, Mana Potion, Crystal Staff of Mana and the Lich Robe (presumably we're talking about a WIS 18 mage), MP regen is 50 per tick. However, some drawbacks to the Lich Robe: according to the interview, the player states that the Lich Robe (1) cannot be zelled and (2) "is an armor, of course!" and not a robe, despite the name. So, presumably it's meant to be used like the Crystal Staff of Mana (for a regen break) and not as your main armor.

Since it's an armor you have to take off your robe and your current armor to put it on. Not going to be a quick switch like with the csom, but I guess there are worse things. =)

Wasn't there an update where the ancient robe increased mp regen? I think there was... if im right, which one would be better to use? Ancient robe obviously has a lot more ac. What do you think?

I thought c-som was useless but this beats it hands down.
Whats next? set of regeneration (cant zel, weight 600)?

Mages need NEW spells, 5yrs of canceling is getting boring.

Well more mp regen rates is good but it really isnt really usefull when its that high. I mean u would spend more time switching sets than u would for regenerating.

50mp regen per tick in original article was from strength mage with meditation+blue pot+csom+lich robe, not wis 18 mage. If it's wis 18 mage, it'd do more mp regen per tick.
Also it has a lev restriction of 45+.

That is sooooo sad! Leave it to NCKorea to dump us another useless item and make us think it's someone great. First it gives +50MP ... why give a +MP bonus if it's going to be an item that you use only when you regen. We all know we need that extra MP while sitting around doing nothing. Then they make it an armor instead of a cloak where it might actually be useful. Then to make it even better ... you can't zel it.

Now lets look at the regen ... 50MP/tick. The was an assumtion of this being an 18 wis mage which gets 3/tick normally, med is 5, blue is 8, and crystal staff is 10. 50-(3+5+8+10)=24. Anyone know the regen rate of the Ancient Robe? At least it has AC! Anyway, it could regen 50MP/tick all by itself and I'd still rather see it regen 10mp/tick (or so) and as a zel-able cloak that could actually be used in place of the normal cop/bcomr.

Thanks again NCKorea ... you've given us junk!

I think this is actually kind of a nice regen tool for mages... though, I agree that it seems a bit pointless to give the user an extra 50 mp when it is not a usefull armor item.

now if they would just make a med-kit or something for hp regen. like you have to replace your shield slot with some kind of kit or book that allows you to regen your HPs at a higher rate when outside of a house or Inn.

Why are you guys complaing 50mp.. per tick..thats wonderfull..That will easily cut of a fewminutes off of regenreation time.. I have a lvl 47 int-wiz mage and this robe would make me want to play it again. I don't play it now cuz I hate regenerating..this robe is wonderful

The ARobe gives +12mp per tick.

The lich for the info we got here seems to give a lot, but beeing so rare and droping from a very hard mop (lich maybe isnt that tough, but geting to it is), isnt good...

It would be good if it gave enough regen so mages could hunt with spells, but for that to happen you wont need only regen, would also need better spells... Go sunburst a ettin to death... Even if i had unlimited mp im not sure it would be my choice to do that... You will need more heals from the damage u take casting sunburst then the ettin would damage if u used a sof.

No, this robe is really worthless if all of that is true. Which leads me to believe it's not. Generally our first reports from Korea are false.
Also, it looks like it adds +30MP (base, not regen) instead of the +50 we were originally told.

imagine csom + lich robe + lvl 45 mage quest cloak + blue + meditation o.O

heck, with the lvl 45 mage quest cloak, you might not even need meditation hehe.

IF they were to make it so a mage could survive on purecasting, then i wouldnt mind the sound of the ac penalty.

btw why are you all surprised the mage ROBE is body armor when the cotton ROBE is body armor as well? ^^

if #12 is right and this mage isn't 18 wis but strenght... I suppose str/con then? O.o which means 12 wis? Just guessing...

But say it is 12 wis mage regaining that much, then DAMN... 18 wis would regain 80mp/tic or so O.o Would be awesome!!! In that case I'd love to have it... Who cares bout the ac loss? -.- I got +4mage cloth now O.o would only lose 4 ac... which isn't bad at all.

I'd rather regain 30+mp/tic more then have some extra ac, so for those ppl who thank NC for nother crappy item... wait till we see how much an 18 wis mage can regain with it O.O

I rather have a larger mp regen
u can become a true mage and rely on magic

too many ppl who play mage seem to want to have their mages godly in melee combat

now we u have to compare the regen rate of the ancient robe and lich robe

that will be interesting....

That sucks. It doesn't even say it adds mp (the 30 at the bottom is it's weight), but even if it did, what the hell is the use of mp that you won't even have unless you're standing around regenning? Stupid.

Spells never being added and only MP regen items being added for mage is one of the many reasons I don't play mage any more. -.-

RE #21:
Well considering that the translation isn't always precise on new items and considering the graphic they're using (Sure looks like a cloak to me) ... yes many of us thought it was a cloak. Having the +50MP would give it a great benefit over the lvl 45 mage quest cloak (and considering it's a boss drop and probably one of the most difficult bosses just to get to ... you would think it should have some kind of benefit over the other options) and you would be able to use it along with an ancient robe.

Also just wanted to say that until we know the stats of the mage that reported the regen rates ... I'll stick with my math (expect the worse, hope for the best).

make every players ac/armor different from one and the other
since mage has the soft ac anywayz --; it's hurt even with dsm when comes to face a knight =P why not on having the hp regens faster and use more powerful magic attacks~

I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but things like COP and COI aren't "robes" they are cloaks. So of course the Lich robe is an armor not a cloak. All the other robes in the game are; Mithril Robe, Cotton Robe etc. And isn't there some other cloak that you can get that increases your MP regen rate a tonne to? With all that stuff and the forgotten island cloak your MP regen should be like 80mp a click or something no? Not to shabby.

HeY,

This is from the Korean Test server right? Can they remake it or adjust it? I mean it isn't like they have added to live servers yet!?! Well maybe they can/will or can't/won't. If so, let's just hope that they make it worth going after!

If they can't/don't adjust/remake it, that will be nice! Well for one reason, so many Mages will forego paying for it, my Mage will be able to afford it! Simple supply and demand. I mean my mage is not going to ToI anytime soon (I just made a new one ~~*) but I am sure someone will get one when they End the Lich dude. It will probably sell for X-million but if nobody buys it, it will have to drop! 8)

Anyway, I am just going to wait till it hits our shores on live servers.

~Moooooooo!~

Mana Cloak + Ancient Robe + 2 mnermaid ring + C-som +meditation + blue pot would be something around 60 mp per tick..

its good that many think its good item and others think its crap that means more diversity in what people use and buy as equipment. That would advance the economy. A new complexity in the market is what this game needs, well that and no soft ac to diversify the classes more.

Hmmm I hope it never comes out, or is nerfed before its released to live servers. Lich robe seems way overpowered.

With maybe 60~70 mp/tick, you could have one mage following around a knight on FI or ToI while he levels up like mad. Why does ~5 AC matter when you're not getting hit?

If this thing drops often, I think FI would get somewhat crowded....

Even if this thing drops every kill. How often does 6f scroll drop? How long does lich spawn?

The 6f scroll actually controls how many of these robes flood the market. How would you end it if you can't get there o.o?

A duo of lev 60+ elf/knight can stay there as long as their polymorph scrolls last. I'll bet they don't have extreme trouble getting there.

But then again, there are no such pairs in US servers, so I guess my post was irrelevant.

did any of you notice "With Meditation, Mana Potion, Crystal Staff of Mana and the Lich Robe (presumably we're talking about a WIS 18 mage), MP regen is 50 per tick." they never said anything about the mana cloak. which means that it will be even higher then that. it being as an armor is a major plus since that with the mana cloak, csom, and ancient robe on it was 55 mp a click if i remember right and without the mana cloak on it's at 50 mp a click that means it will be way higher with the mana cloak on so stop complaining. sure not everyone stops to regen but i do and i think this will help out ALOT. and you can wear coi with it for the lose of 5 mp a click =P
