Unpublished Korean Test server updates

Lineage Playforum reports (http://community.playforum.net:8080/bbs/prog/column?action=read&iid=10051004&kid=2588) some news from the Korean test server:

The first is that Scorpions now poison. From the monster guide, they used to poison but haven't been, so this is more of a bug fix. But it's an important bug fix! Bring cyans!
The second is that the Ancient Robe has been unsealed. AC -12, weight *30*, Mage only. You can pretty much guess what I'll be doing (dragging my pledge along, of course) when Forgotten Island comes out ;)

i like thier drop system, no one can touch their drops for x number of seconds.. it really helps out elves the most, they can actually kill with range and don't have to worry about getting to their drop in time. And summon mages, when summons fill up..items go on ground, but no one can touch for a bit =)

oo poison now they drop cyan pots now? and that korean drop system i like but of course U.S take away all the cool stuff that korean server have. During the heiene event i got theifed of a tsu cause 3 knights came to attack the same turtledragon, unless i fight right in front which is no prob but thats now how it suppose to be for bow elf i want that system better than seeing ir drops on chat better would be if u can change from both ways of collecting as for the magerobe i quit my mage long long ago so i dont really care and why they not enchantable?

Gotta love these "Ancient" items. They're just old items with new abilities and some new colors, and this makes them "Ancient". Oooh. NC needs to stop being lazy and actually animate some new items for once.

I don't see how being "Ancient" gives the bow the ability t be used with 1 hand.

Amer, how come these Updates about the "Ancient" items are coming so slowly? Are they so rare that they get dropped this rarely even on the Korean test server, or is it just hard to find news about them?

If they ever make it to U.S. Servers it should be like, 1/10,000,000 from Drakes.

You can dai Ancient weapons but you can't zel Ancient armors.

Ancient items are not that rare but the scrolls that unseal them are incredibly rare. I heard they were going for 10m+ each on Korean test. o.O

Vail: We post as often as we find info. It is an incredibly rare drop, but probably not as rare as 1/10,000,000 ;) Don't forgot that Forgotten Island Drake is much harder than the normal Drake.

Drunkenknight: Someone is working on it, rest assured.

i dont think we should be whining about the poison bug. i doubt anyone will want to bring twigs and cyans to DV anyway.

NCs priority is to actually finish the game and its story. They have already began remodeling Aden. TI for example. i believe OT is next if im not mistaken.

After the game is done they should be remaking the way items look. if not id do it for them for free :P

For those who cant seem to figure it out, the bow can be used one handed cause its supposed to be a crossbow - sure this brings into question how they are supposed to reload it with a shield in the other hand, but hey i dont see anyone complaining about how a knight can drink and carry amazing amounts of potions with both hands occupied during a fight - whats he got? a beer cap?

the only thing that will make up for the mage nerfs is if they make the robe so comonly droped that it is annoying and make it so the scroll to unlock them is droped by regualar goblins and if you can + it to 6 lol now that would make me actualy think of forgiving nc... btw this is my first post

hey, -12 ac beats anything a mage can get. lets see, wiz cloth and lvwb -3 ac and enchant to +4 = -7ac base, demon armor -6 ac and can enchant to +4 =-10 ac base, this still gives better ac, so don't complain about it not being enchantable.
oh, and on the subject of dsm, -9 ac enchant to +4 = -13 ac base. so if you can afford dsm and have the weight, go for it. remember, we are talking about MAGES here, not knights. and for all you str mages out there, I think 30 weight over whatever dsm is gives the wearer a bit of an advantage. It seems like deciding between power gloves and I-gloves...

thank you, carl. thats a very good insight you have there. Though most people who would get dsm would +5 it, -12 ac vs -14 isnt that much differance on a mage and the price will probably have a larger difference then its worth. Since it gives no pluses like powergloves I think its better compared to ecm vs. platemail. Its more like how iron set would give knights better ac, but take up potion weight, so its worth the few ac points to get those potions packed in.
