Embers & Rare Item Drops & Staves

[NiteHawk]

Embers have been released into the world.

Embers are dropped on most monsters (bar lvl 1-3 monsters). The more stronger the enemy, the better chance of drops occuring. Better embers will also drop from higher monsters levels too (1-3% divinity embers).

Divinity Embers come in 5 formats, Extinguished, Dim, Regular, Glowing, and Radiant. They scale from 1% to 5%. The first three are on monsters around the world. Glowing will be on level 25 OADs, and Radiant is reserved for special quests. Glowing/Radiant have not been released yet.

You equip them on weapons, shields, and body armor depending on what you want. If you equip it on weapons, it give you a divinity bonus on whatever divinity you add. If you add it to a shield or body armor, it gives you a divinity resistance to whatever divinity you add. For example, if I equip a Dim Fire Ember on a staff, I will gain 2% Fire Divinity bonus with said item. If I equip it on armor, I will gain 2% Night Divinity Resistance (Because Fire trumps Night!). If you equip it on a staff for a magic caster, it will actually boost the damage against a specific divinity! Neato!

Remember, only one ember is allowed per item. If you add another, it will overwrite the old one regardless. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Rare Item Drops are a thing, but I wanted to bring this up. There is a LOW chance (5% by default) of a rare weapon or armor drop from NPCs. This means that if a NPC drops a Crystal Mail, there's a 5% chance of a rare Crystal Mail dropping. Rare items will display a extra line in their description, and will also be a different rarity color, typically one rarity higher. Rare items can be better then just +1 though as well. You need to figure this out on your own. They will have different descriptions for different levels of rarity.

One final thing I'd like to point out is that a staff on a character will increase penetration rate (at OAD level items about 6%) and also duration. So it IS useful to have a better staff.

Enjoy.

Cool. I assume you mean resistance and not immunity there?

Updated. Yes 8)

Has anyone found one of these rare drop +1 items yet?

I got this tainted cloak.

This thin cloak radiates with a dark energy offering a surprising amount of protection. Tainted Cloak glows softly and is blessed with night. It hums lightly in your hand. This item is classified as a cloth armor and has a level restriction of 15+.

I don't know what level "lightly" is since I don't have others to compare it to, and I don't know what the difference is since I don't have a normal one!

Seen tons of +1. Some +2, very few +3.

Anyway, can we get a thumbs up feature for the boards, so I can show my appreciation without having to type a whole post out? Thanks bro.

I managed a purple ivory nunchukas, alongside a blue pair. I thought it was odd until I came across this post.

Ive seen green and blue items but the blue didn't say anything about extra power or anything like that

Thats correct. The only way to tell rare though is its a color higher then normal. There can be normal purple, green, white, blue, etc.

Updated this, since adding an ember on a staff means you will gain that set bonus damage on any div. I.E. If you are a fire user with staff that has a ice ember, it means you gain that bonus on any ice user you cast spells on.
