Illusionary Items event
Many people are curious about the details of the Illusion Event, so hopefully this news post will clear some things up.

There are new NPCs in-game for 1 week (they are currently in and will be removed on June 18 at 10 AM CT). One of these NPCs is Illusina, in Oren.

These NPCs sell 5 items usable by all classes:

  1. Sword of Illusion: 10/10, Material: Iron, Weight: 40, Cost: 300a
  2. Bow of Illusion: 3/3, Material: Wood, 2-Handed, Weight: 40, Cost: 300a
  3. Armor of Illusion: AC 7, Material: Iron, Weight: 300, Cost: 300a
  4. Scroll of Enchant Armor Illusion: Cost: 100a
  5. Scroll of Enchant Weapon Illusion: Cost: 100a

The idea is you can experiment with Lineage's enchant system for very little adena. Based on some quick experiments and whispers (thanks!) the Armor can be safely enchanted to +5 and the weapons can be safely enchanted to +3. The scrolls can either go +0 (the message is "Nothing happened"), +1, or blow the item. As an example, on my first try, I spent 1,000 adena and made myself a +6 Armor of Illusion (one of the scrolls did +0), giving me -13 AC (which is better AC than my +5 Magician's Robe).

Here's the catch: The items only last about 5 hours (there is a clock on the items, so you can quickly check the expiration time) and if you quit or restart, any Armor, Sword or Bow you are holding will disappear (so drop it on the ground first ;). The scrolls are not affected by restart or quit, they will stay in your inventory indefinitely.

The armor goes +4 safely actually, I blew +4 already... O_o
And weapon goes +4 safely too I think, I blew many +4, but no +3 (yet).

#5 They're not both safe to +5, since they blew ^^
I will try it again tomorrow n send screen... altho those don't say much (guy made +20 sword of illusion already -.-)

i had first post but for some reason it was removed. if nc wants you to experiment with enchant system why would they only make it go +3 +5? how are you experiementing with that? +10 junk bow is equal to a +6 yumi? your better off with your original weapons.

Yeah I wonder why they made this so annoying... sometimes takes me 5 idai (right? :P) to get sword from +2 to +3 -.-
Why not just stay with the original concept? hm?

why not just reset the servers and take this lame assed event off them. its a total waste of money, and i don't think even newbs will be using anything they make. and why would they let us "experiment" with the enchant system when what the event entails is all done f*cked up.

For people with newer chars like me, the bow is useless. The +0 hunters bow seems to do better than the +4 illusion bow that I made. However, the armor did give me a better ac than my origional armor, in that I made it +5 and got a -11 ac instead of a -6 that i normally have. For peps like me with newer chars and low money for zells and stuff the illusionary armor is better for a temporary ac boost. But it does blow that it disappears when you restart.

I wasted around 40k
made some +9 bows, +9 swords and +7 armour
blew it all
didn't bother using the items cuz my normal equipment is better
was hoping to try and make +10 and up....but failed to do so...
not worth my hard earned cash on illusionary items

this event is useful for poor ppl and newbies who start the game
useless to ppl who have decent equipment already
and all this equipment is pretty damn heavy too

hope NC comes up with more creative ideas....
at least this event didn't throw off the balance in the lineage economy...

end of the event for me
hope others have better success and fun

yeah i made +9 armor and 4 +9bows (None went +10). The lame thing about the armor is that if you wear it and u bless armor, you don't get the bonus ac.

The thing they messed up on this even is they should of made the items good til the end of the event... it would of made it ALOT better.

o.o i made a +9 sword, +8 sword, and a +8 armor now, none got to +10. >.< and im going back and forth on the teetertotter of money/bankrupt. It really helps though since i just started a con elf ^^ +8 sword at lvl 5 is great. I wish they wouldve made b-illusionary zels/dais and cursed illusionary zel/dais.

+9 armor is the same ac as APM, but everyone can wear it.

This event is good for the newbie with +4 set who wants a temporary +8~9 sword for 20k adena. Don't diss it, because it's not meant for you --^

u guys Have no clue, THIS event sux, I also made a +9 armor, and a +9 bow, for 1 the armor cannot use bless armor on it, so there fore my+7 epm was better, and less weight, and the +9 bow ud think logically would hurt more than a +7 yumi, but it is not even close, This event really sux, And it is reused, good for noobs and that is all, NC needs more creative events like the halloween event. THIS EVENT SUX

How often do the newbies complain that the events are no good for them? Most of the time the events benefit the high level chars. And now when they make an event that benefits low levels, everyone complains. I think its great that there is an event that doesn't just apply to high levels. Yes, it does suck... but if someone that doesn't normally benefit from an event can, then that's cool.
