[ITEM] Dragon Claw Weapons

Dragon Claw Weapons


Introduction

With the Lindvior update, NC servers added the strongest weapons in history of Lineage 2. I made many thoughts if I should them on our server or not. Since I personally like the weapons, I decided to add them.
Moreover, because these weapons are that strong, I put in the high costs on purpose. So please don’t be scared, it may seem utopic in the first place. However, they just request it due to their power. 


The Weapons

There are 4 type of levels of these weapons.
1)   Fragment
2)   Standard
3)   High-grade
4)   Top-grade

With each level, the weapons get stronger including their passive skills. Because these weapons are extremely strong, you cannot enchanted them. Neither can you use them in the Olympic Games. The fragment and standard weapons have no glow, high-grade and top-grade have a strong glow corresponding the colour of the dragons (Antharas = green, Valakas = red, Lindvior = blue).

How to get the Weapons?

I was looking for ways to add the weapons so that you use items that are somehow related to dragons. Therefore I’ve added Claws of Black Dragon Piece and Large Dragon Bone completely new drops within the Dragon Valley. On one side you need these items, on the other side you need currency items, even items as well as quest items. So I tried to build in a combination of that. Now go and fight against the subordinates of Antharas.
NEW: You can now farm these items from all monsters within the Forge of the Gods. Since this zone is meant for newbies, the chances are far below the chance from Dragon Valley or Antharas Lair.
NEW: You can now farm these items from all monsters within the Seed of Annihilation (SOA). Since this zone is meant for experienced Players only, the chances are slightly higher than in AL.

The part with the NPC has been completed in the post above.

The fragment cannot be equipped?

It says "You do not meet the required condition to equip that item."

[Lin2Marduk]

Which weapon is it?

[danielder]

Edit: It works, turns out you have to be level 85 to equip them. I'd have a question though, what kind of soulshots do they use?

[Lin2Marduk]

normal s-grade soulshots

1) Dropchance Large Dragon Bones
I implemented the weapons more than more a month ago so I had the chance to see how many items you could farm already. That’s the reason why I cut the dropchance of the Large Dragon Bone in half. But don’t become desperate all of a sudden because this is absolutely no problem. I calculated long enough and decided to take this average value in change. I realized that people don’t need that many Items. Even if you want to trade another weapon later, you have to farm Claws of Black Dragon Pieces again. And then the Large Dragon Bones will drop again too. 

The adapted dropchance represents the ratio of the needed items much better now.

2) High-grade weapons available
The exchange list has been updated. You can now upgrade your standard weapons to high-grade weapons.

3) Elements possible
Because of discussions and the wish of players, I enabled elements on the weapons. You can now put elements on your Standard, High-grade und Top-grade weapons. Elements are still disabled at fragment weapons.

Important: You have to replace 1 specific file in your system folder in ordert o use that feature.

I feel like Large Dragon Bone drop is way too low now, I get 2-3 pieces per half hour on average. But maybe I'm just unlucky.

[Hayate]

I think you're just unlucky  Since the reduction of the dropchance, I've gathered around 190 of them. I would say 1 every 3-4 minutes.

Kind regards
Hayate

[danielder]

You are right, I have been getting relatively more of them after a while, I really was just unlucky  Thanks for the reply!

[Lin2Marduk]

After due consideration, I've decided to decrease the costs for upgrading Standard to high-grade weapons. There are mainly two reasons for this:

1) You get basically just a bit more p. atk and m. atk
2) Mages have only use for Dragon weapons from the stage high-grade

Therefore I slightly reduced some of the ingredients

[danielder]

Hey, I feel like farming Token of Love is really unintuitive, since you either enchant for days to get it, which is basically clicking simulator, or you TvT, which you can only do with yourself. In my opinion it would be better if it could be farmed somehow, through a quest, or drop or spoil, so one could actually feel like they're doing something while getting those items. That's just my 2 cents though.

[Lin2Marduk]

Hello

Well there is a Point in what you said. I will think about other ways to offer These Tokens to Players.

[danielder]

That is great to hear, thank you!!

Hi

My clan member brought it to my attention that Kamael Doombringer cannot use his skills with the Lindvior Slasher.  It says it's an Ancient Sword, but it acts as if it is a regular Two-handed sword. Change Weapon doesn't work on it either. This is important to me because the person stopped playing on the server because of this issue, but I'm sure he would come back if it was fixed.

Also, I'm curious, do Kamael Soul Hounds and Tricksters have no Dragon Claw Weapons available to them? Or can they Change Weapon a normal Sword/Bow of a Dragon Claw Weapon? I'm not familiar with the official version since Goddess of Destruction update, so I don't know how these weapons work.

I know I always point out these things, and I don't want to appear ungrateful. I know you put a lot of work into this server, and we really appreciate it. We like the server, that is why we play here!
