Seriously, this is a total joke. No equipment skill produced? lol. Surely no one will want to bone their equipments in this way

This might actually be good idea if it weren’t for the fact that dragon bones are so rare to drop. As it is, very few dragon bones drop and I can’t see many players upgrading their equipment in this manner. Those who sell dragon bones price them very expensive and being as such, it’s a waste to spend them this way. If the drop rate of dragon bones were increased significantly, so that players have a chance to find more than 1 dragon bone a month or longer, it might be worthwhile to use the NPC to upgrade equipment.

so, i have not searched the site yet, but are the chances of getting sockets or a skill on the equip that you are upgrading with jared?

February 5th, 2009 at 7:35 am
well thats worthless i would rather test my luck using 8 d-bones on the piece of equipment and chance it giving me a socket too (w/e sockets are for xD), but yeah this is worthless seeing as how you get 1 d-bone a month for a drop rate and they are like 4 bullion in the mall.

Hey BrianZachery, i found 2 dragon bones in 2 hours..

i got the idea/reason why 8 dragon bones.. at upgrading gold equip to purple ones the chance is 12% (i think that’s for player crafted) so 8*12=almost 100..
negative:
but seriously.. no skills or sockets? thats insane.. the fact that you want to upgrade an equipment or spend all of your time trying with dragon bones is to get a skill or even add a socket.. if your lucky, you used one dragon bone upgrading,socket emerged,and a hot skill.
positive:
while trying to upgrade an equipment you might even use 9-to-how much luck has left you dragon bones just to change its quality. even add an extra stats to its 214-376 PA is not bad.. or to look cooler (hey my item is purple!).
conclusion:
its a player choice on what process or path to choose. if he/she’s on a “safer” side maybe ask the engineer or if he/she’s on the aggressive side or “I have plenty of LUCK today” maybe drag the dragon bones and hope for a better future.

this will increase the price of purple items with skills and added attributes. hehe… but seriously 8 DBs VS. its drop rate is insane..

@ Syrian
as deeyana said, 100% success rate is for safe players. if you don’t know like it, you can still use dragging thingy. you’re not forced to use new the mechanism.
btw, we’ll add new items to give equip skill.

And the red itens??
I already saw a red iten in treasure box, so goes the question. Can a purple iten be turned into a red one with DB? What’s the chance? Will the npc be upgrade to turn purple into red with 10DB e.g.?
