Dark Elven Item Creation
NewsPos (http://www.newspos.com/Content.asp?tb=bnews&ob=news&seqs=58&page=1&pb=N) reported on the Dark Elven item creation process. Three double swords, three claws and two of the crossbows can be constructed from an NPC in Silence Cave.

We're not really clear on how this whole Bring Stone system works (still working on that) but our best guess is that the Bring Stone spell is used to evolve stones, with a built-in chance of evaporation. So, if you have a level 1 stone, you can make a level 2 stone. A level 2 stone can go to a level 3 stone. However, each step of the way, there is a chance of blowing the stone. So, level 3 stones are obviously more rare than level 2 stones. That's a guess at how it works at least. Regardless, the ingredients mention 3 types of stones, which we will call Stone #1, Stone #2 and Stone #3 for now, until we have the system down better.

  • Shadow Blades - 100 Stone #1, 10 Iron, 20 Hard Leather
  • Short Blades - Shadow Blades, 100 Stone #2, 5 Stone #3, 20 Iron, 20 Hard Leather
  • Damascus Blades - Shadow Blades, 50 Stone #1, 20 Stone #2, 1 Stone #3, 1 Diamond, 10 Iron, 20 Hard Leather.
  • Shadow Claw - 100 Stone #1, 5 Stone #2, 10 Iron, 10 Hard Leather
  • Short Claw - Shadow Claw, 100 Stone #2, 10 Stone #3, 10 Iron, 10 Hard Leather
  • Damascus Claws - Shadow Claw, 40 Stone #1, 30 Stone #2, 1 Stone #3, 1 Diamond, 10 Iron, 10 Leather
  • Shadow Crossbow - 100 Stone #1, 10 Stone #2, 10 Iron, 30 Hard Leather
  • Short Crossbow - 100 Stone #2, 20 Stone #3, 10 Iron, 30 Hard Leather

Obviously, this was all very vague, but hopefully over the next few weeks it will start to mean something!

Also noticed was a new morph at level 45, the Assassin. No further information is known about this yet. Please also note that Death Knight morph is [still] level 52 in this screenshot from Korean Test server yesterday. The reporter also noted that Dark Elves appear to *always* be "in-morph". Monsters that are aggressive to unmorphed players seem to be passive to Dark Elves.

You can buy most of those weapons in store, right?

Is it so much easier to make em then? (I'm kind of lazy o_o)

And I hope this stone-blowing-thing isn't gonna cost a lot of money... I spend too much blowing armor/weapons already =/

You're right, they use 2 claws and blades, but it hits 2 times instead of 1 o.O
If the #3 stones are hard to make, I think spending 50k on Damascus Claws would be easier imo

I guess no SWL for DE's because BK's are aggressive to sosc'ed/restarted people in morph.

You know the reason dark-elves may not need polymorph is probably because people who play them will probably be chaotic seeing as how almost all their spells are evil.

#16 You play another char o_o

#18 That's cuz those evil monsters are from the bad god, and so is dark elf... isn't it? O_o

Or maybe Dark Elves go chaotic when they kill things... and when they're max chaotic they won't drop stuff.
When they get Lawful they might lose spells or more then 1 item o_o

Well BK's aggro to poly is good if you want to get the BKs to come to you remember...

BUT if the dark elves can't handle a pack of bks, then that is another story.

But a group of dark elves could handle BKs I guess and have an "auto-lasoo"

I wonder about auto poly... If a mop isn't passive when you're in poly, will it be passive for Dark elf? If you are polied and hit a ramia, other ramias don't hit you. However, will they be passive for dark elves? That could mess up my Heine hunting strategy and routine ;)

The reason that DE's have auto-poly is because there are no mops that use claws or double blade, or crossbow :/ - So they wouldn't be able to sosc and use their natural weapons. (except the assasin morph, which in the pics uses double-blades).

#22 what about werewolves/lycan poly?
Nobody uses clubs/maces and they still hit with your weapon.

And I odnt think that's an assassin in the pic. It's a DE with claws showing that there's a new poly. o_O

Poly wouldn't work if you use claws.
Spartoi only hit once, while DE with claws should hit twice (don't ask me how O_o)

I was wondering about this yesterday... if DE's should hunt polyless then, guess so^^

#24, that's true, you can be a Necro and have a bow equipped, while the Necro appears to have a staff..

#25 Created items are stronger?? SWEET.

#26 Why don't they just change the polys so they match weapons? Claws = spartoi has two swords instead of sword and shield. THey need to make it so you have different animations for different weapon types AND unequip for poly. They have it for unmorph, so it would look cool if they did it for morphed.

anyone have stats on these weps yet? what about the bows and swords? i've seen the thing a few articles down, but i think there are a couple things missing. if anyone can get some proof that the created items are stronger, that'd be awesome too.

scroll down a few articles and you'll see a pic of an assassin, the person would have to be really fast to have already lvl'ed a de to 45 without items the de could use, on the other hand i guess another class could just morph into it but not be able to use any of their weps.

keep up the good work lc ^^

u know, i think even tho it's animation is 2 attacks, i still think the 2 attacks do the amt of dmg shown on the weapon, like lets say u have a 10/10 double blade..the animation probably shows 2 attacks, but maybe they only take 10 dmg from he 2 o.0 id unno

I think only the double swords are double attack not the claws. Cuz if U look at the claw animation it only swings with one. While the double swords swing twice in their animation. I remember reading on LC somewhere that with the double swing from the double swords U take the stats and double em to find out the dmg inflicted. I could be wrong or LC might have been wrong, w ho knows. Still waiting on more info from Korea...

What they should do is add 'Anti-poly potion' to game. That way de's can run around swl and auto-poly is countered so they'll be as though they're not and yet still attract elmores in owls for easy xp. I'd hate to run around chasing mops in certain places when they should be aggressive.
