GoD - New Item System

Everyone is confused, this is how it goes according to Elmar:


Common Items will no longer drop, they will be replaced with Unidentified Items in the drop tables and in every NPC store.

Everything, D to low S, will be sold in the NPC stores as Unidentified Items.

Unidentified Items have the same value as Common Items did. Confirmed from a screenshot where Unidentified - Forgotten Blade is seen for ~5 mills at the store.

Double-click a R-grade Unidentified Item and it will either become Bound or Blessed.

Both, Bound and Blessed Items, can be enchanted, SA'ed, Attributed, etc... their key difference being that the Bound Items are untradeable and Blessed Items are tradeable, sellable, etc...

Oh, and, as gravy, Blessed Items also get higher stats when enchanted. lol

All classes can crystalize items.

Item Crystalization is different too. Now crystalized items yield crystals and some mats. Confirmed from a screenshot where a crystalized weapon gives out crystals and a "Blacksmith Mold" of some sort.

Crafting also gives out Unidentified Items. Masterwork R-grade Crafts yield an extra Normal Item or Blessed Item.

Are you unhappy with your Bound Item? There's a procedure to "unbind" an item into a Normal one. I haven't yet seen any information on how it is done.

Armor Over-Enchanting has been revamped too (lol, what hasn't?) Over enchanting armor gives piece-specific bonus on top of the traditional +HP. I.e.: ++'ing Boots will give extra Run Spd.


Credits go to Elmar (http://boards.rochand.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=97) for all this information. :D

ehhh dude AFAIK only R+ items can be Blessed.

you sure about this ?

hows this gonna work, with crafting yield unidentified. you get a Foundation Unidentified? or double click and get Foundation Bound/blessed... ?

Edited: R-grade crafts give out the extra item.

Quoted from Elmar:
"And when crafting an R-Grade item, there is a chance that apart from an Unrecgnized Item you can directly get a normal or a Blessed item, something like Masterwork items in the lower grades."

To clarify this, it's only R-Grade items which can become Blessed, while C~S-Grade weapons automatically get at random one of the three possible SA's (which can not be removed).

The unbinding is done with an Unbinding Scroll dropped by Istina and Octavis, two newly introduced Bosses. Here is the full (Google Translate-able) article:

Made a fool of myself XD

So, C-S get either Bound or SA'd?

C-S, (d got no SA)

Right, fixed. Makes me wonder if there are Unidentified D's...

if Unidentified is replaceing Common, then there will be unidentified D, which should open to Bound, but there would be no point without resale value.

I guess it could either turn Bound or Normal, if anything. Or you could just crush the Bound item for some crystals and mats.

that might constitute an adena dupe. if the unidentified item is worth less than the sum of its identified crystal count or crush items value.

Unidentified D-Grade items are sold in the shops in each town:

But keep in mind, this is still constantly changing. Here is the PTS patch index:

As I am typing this post there are 8 additional patches since the update on Wednesday. I still have an old printout of the Awakening quest - there is no Earthworm Trasken in there, and no Dark Elf Village, which are quite significant changes (or maybe they just forgot about those steps and corrected that error in the last few days). So don't take anything for granted :D

Uh so if i want a C sls focus i need to buy an unindentified one and have the luck to get the focus SA on it?

Sounds **** imo.

People need more randomness in the game! Can never get enough of it! :D

No, you either get a bound or SA one. If you get the bound one, take it to the blacksmith to get your Focus.

more i read about GOD the more my heart sinks ...i realy am trying to keep an open mind about this update, but its not looking good from my opinion .
