Armor Revamp

Armor Stamina Loss Update:

Player’s stamina loss will now be based on the type of armor as well as the amount of armor that is equipped*. Each piece of armor up to five pieces will reduce the amount of stamina lost when taking damage. The armor pieces which provide the most stamina loss reduction will take priority. • Cloth armor, leather armor, and jewelry will give the same stamina loss reduction as Pub 80. • Blacksmith armor (platemail, ringmail, chainmail, and dragon armor) will provide a heavy bonus to stamina loss reduction. • Studded leather armor, stone armor, bone armor, woodland armor, and hide armor will provide a light bonus to stamina loss reduction.

Human racial ability Tough now provides a small bonus to stamina loss reduction.

Armor Inherent Lower Mana Cost

Each piece of non medable armor will provide lower mana cost with the exception of woodland armor. Each piece of armor up to five pieces will provide a percentage which is not subject to the lower mana cost cap of 40. The armor pieces which provide the most lower mana cost will take priority. 1. Platemail, ringmail, chainmail, and dragon armor provides 1% of lower mana cost per piece. 2. Studded leather, hide armor, stone armor and bone armor provides 3% of lower mana cost per piece.

Armor Refinement

Phase two of the Armor Revamp will allow players to apply Refinements to non-medable armor.

Armor Refinements are crafted from refinement components that can be collected from:
Treasure Maps
MiB Chests
Merchant Vessels
Pirate Vessels
Town shop container stealables
Champion Spawn Bosses

There are two methods of refining armor: • Increase max individual resist while lowering max defense chance increase by two.

• Decrease max individual resist while increasing max defense chance increase by two.

Blacksmith Armor
Wash (DCI) & Cure (Resists)

Tailor Armor
Polish (DCI) & Scour (Resists)

Carpenter Armor
Gloss (DCI) & Varnish (Resists)

Refinement Levels: • Defense - provides least chance at achieving maximum individual resist/ DCI bonus.

• Shielding • Guarding • Protection • Hardening • Fortification • Invulnerability - provides greatest chance at achieving maximum individual resist/ DCI bonus.

Components can be combined with 20 raw materials available from NPC Merchants:

Blacksmiths
(Malleable Alloy)

Weavers
(Leather Braid)

Carpenters
(Solvent Flask)

When combined with the appropriate raw material the crafter will create Armor Refinements that can be applied to non-medable armor:

Plating – Blacksmith Armor

Threads – Tailor Armor

Resin – Carpenter Armor

There are seven levels of intensity for refinements ranging from “Defense” to “Invulnerability”.  There is a much greater chance to acquire high intensity components in Felucca.

When applied to non-medable armor the Refinement can provide a bonus to:

Max Resists – Armor Refined to increase max resists will provide a bonus to a resist category cap up to 75 (80 energy resist for elves), while lowering the Defense Chance Increase cap.

Max Defense Chance Increase – Armor Refined to increase max Defense Chance Increase will provide a DCI cap bonus up to a maximum of 95 while lowering max resists.

Misc Changes:

• The Gargoyle race hit chance increase cap has been reduced from 50 to 45. • Hit lower defense now scales 55% of the players Max Defense Chance Increase. The default max defense chance increase of 45 has a -25 defense penalty. A max defense chance increase cap of 95 has a -52 defense penalty. • Ninjitsu: animal form can now be interrupted while casting. Faster casting now longer effects animal form. • Throwing: Adjusted throwing sweet spot hit chance and damage reduction penalties. Throwing damage reduction penalties now scale based on player stamina and strength. • Necromancy: Evil Omen now reduces Mysticism Stone Form Immunity by 30. • All cool downs have been removed from refresh potions. “Total” refresh potions have now been converted to “Greater” refresh potions which will provide more refresh than standard refresh potions. • Weapon effect: Hit stamina leech is now subject to diminishing returns based on max player stamina. • Mysticism: Increased Cleansing Winds healing power reduction based on curses. Cleansing Winds will always heal for maximum potential when the target is the caster. Cleansing Winds power will now scale based on the number of targets when healing targets that are not the caster. • Chivalry: Divine Fury stamina regenerated decreased to 2.5x duration from 4x duration. • The two handed melee “Balanced” property has been added to imbuing. Weapons with this property will be unable to parry or evade. • Imbuing base intensity caps have been increased up to 550 for two handed melee weapon and up to 500 for bows and crossbows.
