March 10, 2003 06:39 pm ET - research by Lineage: The Fact
Iron Staff of Mana/Ancient Dragon Scale mail
There have been lots of rumors about an Iron Staff of Mana and Ancient Dragon Armor and it looks like Lineage: The Fact (http://netcity7.web.hinet.net/UserData/actc/news/200303/20030305.html) found out why so many people are speculating.

Let me just preface all of this with: It could just be a typo, some items that were made up but accidentally hit the web page. With that in mind:
IconNameDamageHandsWeightClassNotes
Iron Staff of Mana3/31-handed30Mage only+2 to hit

The official HK lineage site added this new weapon to their site. It's unclear if it was by accident or if it is a hint of something new to come. Lineage - HK is not like LoA, it must be synchronized to the Lineage - Korea servers just as Ken and Dep must be, so if anything is on the way, we should hear more about about it on Korean Test. The Iron Staff of Mana appears to weigh 15 more and be +5 to hit compared to the Staff of Mana.

IconNameACWeightClassNotes
Ancient Green Dragon Armor-11300Knight only--
Ancient Blue Dragon Armor-11300Knight only--
Ancient Red Dragon Armor-11300Knight only--
Ancient White Dragon Armor-11300Knight only--

Also mentioned on the official HK Lineage Armor page are these four armors. They are the same as the regular dragon armors except 2 better AC and knight only. Again, no idea if this is just a mistake which will be removed soon .

lol adsm has -11 ac... at +5 it will be -16, the same as apm. you are gonna have to get it +6 or better for it to be an improvement.

as for the mana staff, +5 better to hit is nice but its not like you use your som to kill bosses and my str mage misses rarely as it is, this is not a great improvement. the best part will be having more soms in the game so i can keep blowing them up ^^

Is NC slowly beginning to unnerph mages?

This SOM I hope is not IMPOSSIBLE to get... I hope its not a FI drop, something impossible to get.

Yes, it undoes the to hit nerph (current SOM is -3 I think). To my lvl 48 mage, I dont know how much difference this will make (the to hit change), as I always hit mops (very very few times I miss). But I do remember as a newbie missing and missing.

Any chance this will suck more MP? Don't know how usefull this will be tho with the 40MP cap, but still, getting all the MP in fewer hits so you can change to SOF faster will be very useful.

Let's (as usual) wait and see :)

Foolish mortals: )
As if the isom would use nsom.. you probably have some som's for sale right:)
The Isom is probably ment for new mages aswell. So they can get a som. Would
be kinda rediculous to make it depend on the old some, since there are only
like 40 left on dep.

Anyone listen to yourselves? Why is armor for knight only? Ever try to shoot a bow in heavy armor? How bout cast a spell? All knights have is their armor and weapons, no spells, no special powers, NOTHING. Knights are supposed to be adept fighting machines. Thats why they can use more weapons and armor: they have trained to handle these weapons and armor. What is silly is elvish only t-shirts. Hmm this t-shirt, I just can't seem to get it over my head unless I'm an elf... hmmm. I'm a mage, but gee this demon armor fits so great I can continue to cast my spells and everything, even though its about 14 sizes too big.

NC only care about knight there are no way near as many updates for mages or princes. knights don't got soft ac.. NC puts that in and you would think they would put in stuff that would help that **** out. but they don't they just give more stuff to knights. i could go on but i can't be assed.

I wonder why anyone is complaining. Knights can use level 1 magic @ level 50, and various pieces of magic from hom, but mages can use many good swords too -- like rks (red KNIGHT sword..) and sls (silver LONG sword). Hell, there was even an article on LC about that level 65 mage with -8x or was it 9x ac.

Mages are so much stronger than knights, but they are that much harder to play. I don't mean hit dmg and possible ac, I mean how much difference he can make in a fight. Good controls and sufficient level will win any reasonable battle; people who complain about mages' weaknesses just don't take the time to learn how to use their characters.

Wow all this fighting over items for classes...
I'm wanna join in.
As some of you may already know, I'm a knight hater.
Its all NC's fault I hate knight. Its true, someone
said earlier that every update there's a good item
for knight only. And some of the new updates for
other classes are well, just junk. Take the lvl 15
Prince quest...very cool looking spell "true target"
but that spell is not needed. Then knight get a Red
Knight Hood ac of -2 and safe enchant to +6...
Since when does a non-elven item safe enchant to 6.
Also lvl 15 elf's quest gets the 2 MOST useless
items in the game. Dex and Con helm, omg what u do
with these pieces of junk, feed them to slime?
And mage's lvl 15 quest get a nice INT shield but
its only safe enchant to +4...
Knight are already the strongest class but yet
NC still make more and more items to make knight
even stronger. No wonder half of the people online
are knights. Enough said... NC suck my **** again
and again and again.
Ban my account from this knight lovin game already!!!

Yours truely,

that was good ikaris, well said :) some of the elven stuff is only enchantable to +4 anyways...even if it is made by elves(bracer, pgs, etc) and then knights get +6 item....not even made by elves.

also, someone said something about -8x/9x ac on a mage. you know wat kind of ac that is on a knight? approx. -5x/6x (may be off a little). thats a huge difference. plus, u know the best sword for a mage? sls - 8/12 dmg, undead dmg; or MB - 4/5 dmg, +10 to hit, undead dmg. best for knight is like 16/25 or something. maybe they should make a waikashazi(spelled?) or light katana for mage or mage/prince only. and i also think the rapier should be elf only. what would be really funny would be if they made pgs and bracer elf only, lol! see how the knight whine and complain then. but pgs help mages out a lot so i wouldnt do that......maybe just elf/mage/prince only tehehe.

knights, you have a t-shirt. its a lot easier to get too. most knights have +6 t-s anyways. everyone used it until recently and its a lot easier to get too. now elves have an ELVEN t-shirt and why are you complaining? bcz we have something you dont for once, BOO HOO! go cry to your mommy in hidden valley.
