Episode 13 Item Drops

A couple of days ago, Lineage Playforum posted (http://community.playforum.net:8080/bbs/prog/column?action=read&iid=10051004&kid=4526) some drop/miscellaneous information on various Episode 13 Dark Elf items. I'll integrate all this into the item guide as soon as I can get to it. :)

Dark Items*

Dark Robe - Spartoi - safe to +6, increased HP regen
Dark Cloak - Zombie/Orc Zombie - safe to +4, +30 HP
Dark Boots - Dark Elves - safe to +6, +1 DEX
Dark Headband - Stone Golem - safe to +4, increased MP regen
Dark Gloves - Skeleton Archer - safe to +4, +2 bow hit

* We've also been calling these items (for example) Shadow Robe and Robe of Darkness, we'll use the format "Dark Robe" going forward for consistency (until the final name is decided by Lineage - US)

Other Dropped Items

Brass Blades (fka Copper Blades): Stone Golem
Steel Claw: Lizardman, Owlbear, Orc Zombie, Skeleton Archer

Level 1 Spells

Blind Hiding: Zombie, Spartoi, Orc Archer, Skeleton Archer, Skeleton
Bring Stone: Level 15 Quest
Enchant Venom: Orc Fighter, Orc Zombie, Skeleton, Skeleton Archer
Shadow Armor: Werewolf, Orc, Lizardman

Quest Items

Shadow Mask - Level 15 Quest, safe to +6

Shadow Gloves - Level 30 Quest, safe to +6, +1 CON

Shadow Boots - Level 45 Quest, safe to +4, +50 HP

Many of these items seem to be dropping from newbie monsters, but we have yet to see what drops the level 2 and 3 spells, or the Dark Light/Dark King items. Clearly, the design is that there are three important chapters in the life of a Dark Elf.. the level 15 chapter (level 1 spells, Dark items), the level 30 chapter (level 2 spells, Dark Light items) and the level 45 chapter (level 3 spells, Dark King items).

I think it might drop from newbie mops first so ppl on test server is able to obtain those DE items for the new class
I believe it would be best if we waited to see what drops it when it is published on live servers

Quest items don't seem that great, as you are going to have to sacrifice something to gain something else:

Shadow Mask (lvl 15), replaces headband -- get 2 extra ac, but lose extra mp regen
Shadow Gloves (lvl 30), replaces dark gloves -- get 2 extra ac, lose +2 bow "to hit"
Shadow Boots (lvl 45), replaces dark boots -- get 50 hp, LOSE 2 ac, LOSE +1 dex (!!!)

Are these really worth it?!? Especially the boots? I mean, I know 50 hp is significant, but is it worth losing your dex bonus and ac over it? Opinions?

#4 - Other classes don't get better stuff, DE's just can't use all the other classes' armor. And I actually posted this info on Templar before, and I thought that those 'Dark' items are the parts of DE set, because the bonuses are pretty good, but I guess I was wrong...

#5 - Only one other class will come to Lineage. It's coming in Lineage Part III, so in a year or three or more :-D

#4..

........

Do you REALLY think characters with 500 hp and already high ac should get something to make up for the hp-less dark elf's extra ac?

--; i mean.. god...

These items sound good though. ^^

#10... nothing in lineage should do that to you, its unhealthy O_O seek help immediately! O_o

no matter waht items they put in (unless they put in a 200hp item), nothing will change the fact that as a dark elf you will die so much that youll want your 12 con mage back......

#4: This is what the Dark Elf class is be competitive with the other classes.

#5: I doubt that's in the plan, no other classes were announced in the next 6 releases, so I doubt within the next 3 years.

This won't last long, so enjoy it while you can. DE seems to be focussed primarily on having good str and dex, and some of that magic looks like it could really mess someone up combined with thier invisibility. In fact, it seems like low hp is about the only weakness that the DE was going to have - with these items, would they not become a super class?

#4 - why do the current classes need anything new? They already have equipment and such. The DE class is starting from nothing. They need something to get started....geez, so greedy.

only soft ac will tell whether this class destroys all or dies in 4 hits still.
all bashing post #4 read post #16. (without knowledge of if/how soft ac is going to effect this class) you could pretty much see from their decent ac items that this class will be quite the opponent. their weapons attack fast, its more difficult to grief them by bringing certain mops to a fight to attack them (due to their always sosc state towards mops that wouldnt see sosc), they have decently powered weapons with decent attack speeds (minus the xbows o.o). so far, the only weakness we have seen is their low hp. between those boots, a belt of body, an orc ammy, and the dark cloak, thats an extra 150 hp to compensate for this weakness.

again, only time will tell. but i shudder to think of 4 lvl 45 de with final burn and their invis spell, wearing no ac or weapon and being able to obliterate almost any player instantly, depending on their hp/mp. heck i'll prolly put all my points into con and wis just to make a "dark burner". its not like lvl 45 xp takes more than 3 hours go gain back.

lol darkelf is a dex knight no douth, no healing magic all out attacking and dun even have support magics(the str/dex spell), is a nice fighter class i would say cuz of the hp/ac bonus from the item and their new spells which make them walk as fast as knights.........

#3
otehr class dun get anything cuz these dark elf item r reasons for ppl to play darkelf, they r for making darkelf better not just some stupid new class that put in to get ppl come back for 1 month (FINALLY a good idea form NC), if u r going to play a all out fighter would u play a low hp dex elf or an high hp con knight?

Hey NeoCross how bout you say duh at the beginning of your senseless sentence, so we know what to expect out of your mouth. BTW the game is incredibly unbalanced and a new class with magic is not warranted until the true caster of this game is complete. This is not about greed its about fixing the game before adding to it.

StarWarsGalaxies? *ROFL*
Although #28 has made a fool of himself it brings up a good point. I for one am not impressed with the additions being made. I like the idea of keep new stuff in LoA because Lineage is the last game I can enjoy playing... I'm really worried it'll get trashed like UltimaOnline did by these "Monty Haul" and anti PvP changes. I stay in Dep where I belong, and you guys goof up LoA, OK?
Why do these Fantasy games always start out kewl and heavy team/PvP, then turn around and *NERF* the game until it's 3d and anti PvP/PK? Then they suck as bad as Everquest!!

Dark Elf seems interesting, but whoever's asking for "what other classes will get" should pray they don't *nerf* instead.
Sorry guys, just had to vent that one out. =)

Anyone know any more details about Dark elf and shield use? The question was asked back in last darkelf post but I never saw a response.
Also, anyone here thinking about what stats they are going with? I'm still torn between making:
*17str 16dex 12wis
*16str 16dex 10con
-->Hard to tell how much Wisdom (for bit resist) or Constitution are worth it yet, why didn't I learn korean when I started this game!? ^^

#38 "Also, anyone here thinking about what stats they are going with? I'm still torn between making:

*16str 16dex 10con"
Stats have changed so other possibilities arised:
http://www.templar-gaming.com/lineage/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16589

As for shield use... Dark Elf-only weapons are all 2-handed, blades, claws, xbow's, stings... and there is no information on a Dark Elf shield, so it was thought that they can't use a shield.
But I question that now as they can use 1-handed weapons, swords, daggers. But I actually dont know for sure... havent seen any ss of DE with shield.
