Upgraded Shadow Weapons

General Discussion Started Last reply 57 posts
My questions to GM's is do the Shadow Weapons have elements once upgraded. Since the regular ones have no elements they are rather worthless so im wondering if its worth taking the trouble to get them +10 which is very hard.

I tested the shadow weapon on sos mobs made 7k to 13k damage on mobs and with +4 r99 stormer 300 made 30-50k damage...
so we really need to know if upgraded version after making +10 with 10 ingots have elements...
tyvm juji :)

my second question is can you keep element after upgrading or u have to re-element it when u do
You can add Attributes to these weapons.

Mage weapons have localization error in description for P. Atk + 7%.

in the description it says it cannot be crystalized so if we enchant after +3 it has chance to go back to 0? or crystalize?
thats after u make a +10 i believe
and transform it using ingots
yes u can break it after +3 i tried mine and blew it at +4 so u need many items and since there is no luck stone is hard and u need maphr and +55 luck to make it better but weapons are bound after u open them until u upgrade them.

each OE em add more SA bonus and when u upgrade at +10 with 10 ingots u get even more effects and can trade them.

regular weapon are still better with augments from spirit stones for pve/pvp attk since bloody/dark 15% more damage with augment 25% and can oe to +15.

not worth paying 50m a weapon since u need many and u can make quest at 100 for weapon of u choice with 5 man party and 2 quest a week so 10 weapons a week that u can choose. its a good cheap alternative to regular weapon but if u have to pay 20b for it better get urself a regular r99
thats after u make a +10 i believe
and transform it using ingots

Are you talking about Shadow Ingots? They seem to be super rare.. (Only from Jackpot box).. I guess only rich players can upgrade these..
Are they always 300 holy? Can we change this? 300 holy is kind of useless to mages....

I'm pretty sure any attribute can do. Juji simply happened to add Holy.

Yep,some guys made them Earth for example,you can add whatever youw want.

Can you take such stuffs from the box? Anyway this is not fully true,i may be wrong since i'm still 99,but at level 100 you can actually 'improve' the items by doing daily or weekly instance in Gludio.

Real question is : every weapon have same effect when upgrading? AFAIK the effect of the shaper was different ,for example we were supposed to get critical damage +10% instead of phisical critical rate...am i wrong or is a later effect? (made shaper up to +6 and no critical damage as bonus,but afaik +7/+10 gives HP/MP as bonus)

I blew up a +7 buster and it had 15 percent cast speed and 100 mcrit rate only.
From +8 all shadow weapons give +5% hp/mp bonus, with +15% max at +10.
BTW Can show stats finals from Shadow Weapons f.e +10 Shadow Thrower and after trade with NPC With Ingots Thanks
Are the Shadow Ingots tradeable ?
i would like to know also if luck +55 and maphr helps for chance to OE shadow weapons
and are the success rate for enchants the same as regular fighter/mage weapons or they have their own OE chance tables
and is it possible to have test on chance to enchant up to +10 at each stage like +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 +10

Shadow Ingots are tradable.

Maphr's Shirt and LUC will help with enchanting the weapons.

Enchant Success Rate is the same for fighter/mage weapons. There is no Lucky Enchant Stone either for Shadow Weapons.
Juji, can you trade in a +10 shadow weapon with +10 ingots to the ashen npc on a character that isn't level 100? For instance, can a level 85 tyrr maestro trade the shadow weapon + ingots in and get the improved one back?


Any info on this would be GREATLY appreciated.


Thanks in advance!
i'd like to know if anyone got the shadow ingots in rewards or if they are hard to get in the lvl 100 instance
2 questions:

1- shadow weapons in final stage are tradeable?
2- NPC damage 10% is pvp or pve?

thx.

1- no, you need ingots to make them tradable
2- pve
i have more question about weapon
each SA's usually give 5% pvp damage so 2 SA give 10% just like tauti weapon 4 SA give 20% pvp damage
do shadow weapon and kelbim weapon also give 5% pvp damage from each SA they have ? they have like 5-6 SA so would that be 30% pvp damage from those also ?
I really aint getting the fuzz around these weapons. They r worse than R99 ones and their patck and matck at +10 r, if anything, laughable when compared with a +5 R99 one.

So, what's the deal?

Is there any chance that people like me that we miss the Maphr Shirt see this again on event or store?
Juji the improved version can be enchanted also ?
Juji, ge!

On the shadow weapon +4 in the subtext says:

Cast speed +15%
M. Critical rate +30

But when i equip it i didnt get those +30 M.Critical rate on my stats panel, the description is wrong on its bugged?

I hope you can answer it as soon as possible, because i want to buy several scrolls in order to upgrade it to +10 it in case it really gives +100 M. Critical rate on top levels.
forget about +7 or more
almost 100 tries , i took one +7 shadow weapon

Ofc they not as good as the regular r99 weapons because if they were the same it would lower the value of r99 weapons.

So a shadow weapon needs to be +10 to be able to become tradeable with ingots? or any OE lvl can become tradeable with the ingots?

Reducing the cost and ease of acquiring r99 weapons would be a good thing.

There is localization bug with the Shadow Retributer m. critical text.
It should be M. Critical Damage instead.

M. Critical Rate 30 -> M. Critical Damage 3%
M. Critical Rate 60 -> M. Critical Damage 6%
M. Critical Rate 100 -> M. Critical Damage 10%

For comparison, the shadow buster has the m. critical rate bonus.

Thank you for answer, we appreciate that.

Could you guys gives us the real bonus of those weapons, know this will help us a lot, as you well know adena/coins are kind rare these days.
Boost ingot drop rates from the event by a lot please.. there are so many +10 shadow weapons and a completely ridiculous amount of shadow weapons all over the Chronos market. They are selling for like 1mil each on Chronos, almost, because no one wants them cuz there are no ingots.. there is 22 days left of the event too.


I think an abundance talisman has a better drop rate than the ingots..


the whole thing doesn't make much sense.. please boost the drop rates for them.


ty
mmh...would be to know what is now better for pvp improved Shadow Weapon+25% pvp damage if im not wrong and or still buy r99?
i have more question about weapon
each SA's usually give 5% pvp damage so 2 SA give 10% just like tauti weapon 4 SA give 20% pvp damage
do shadow weapon and kelbim weapon also give 5% pvp damage from each SA they have ? they have like 5-6 SA so would that be 30% pvp damage from those also ?

Still waiting on a reply from our good friend Juji about this :) do all these bonus count as SA's on weapon like tauti and each give pvp damage? and how much do they give 20% 25% or 30% or nothing at all :) thx
Also i ask all players who have or know someone that has Shadow Ingots to COD Rorschak on chronos for 50m each x10 so i can upgrade my +10 shadow stormer thx

No PvP damage boost from SAs.


Shadows gives only 10%, 15%, 25% pvp Damage boost? So r99 is still best Weapon for pvp?

Shadow does not give PvP Damage boost. It has 10% PvE Damage boost when the weapon is at the final stage. If you are comparing for PvE purposes only, then these weapons are in-between regular Amaranthine Weapons and Bloody Amaranthine Weapons (with 2 SA).

Atelia Fortress Mob:
+4 Amaranthine Dualsword (Health+Haste) - 1,439 Damage
+4 Amaranthine Dualsword (Damage Up+Haste) - 1,457 Damage
Shadow Dualsword (Final Stage) - 1,572
+4 Bloody Amaranthine Dualsword (Health+Haste) - 1,749
No PvP damage boost from SAs.


Can you confirm if Kelbim weapons also not give pvp damage boost from each sa they have as well? Just to make clear since the answer and thread is tailored towards shadow weapons.
When finally i get +10 Shadow Weapon i must be lv 100 to change it on NPC or dont care if im 99?
seems it can be done any level but you also need 10 shadow ignots for the exchange

Any option to get Shadow Ignots if you are not lv100+ and get from new instance? (I not see them in list of possible rewords form this event)
Also did they have option to trade/sell in ah/sell in private shop... ?

There is no option to for exchange.

You can get them from the Jackpot Box:

And yes, Shadow Ingots can be sold. In the Naia Auction House I just saw one for 250 million, on the Korean Sieghardt server they go for 800 million per Ingot:

The level does matter. This is what a lvl 100+ player sees when he or she talks with Neti:

A lvl 99- player, however, sees only two buttons to click. Where you ask the lvl 100+ Refugee Neti "Tell me what happened in Gludin Village", the button for the regular Neti without green title says "Tell me more about your old memories". The button for entering the instance and the two Shadow Wepon links are missing on the 99- dialogue screen, and when you click on "Quest", you get the standard text "You are either not on a quest that involves this NPC ...".

We've already bugged this issue. Below you will find the dialogue for the proper Neti NPC in Gludio:

Ah, now I understand! Thanks a lot for clearing this up! On a Sunday! :)
Thank you for the explanation.

Now to go farm(buy some) Shadow Ingots :p
I just made a +9 Retrib after many, many tries enchanting other shadow stuff. I should have read this thread first. :(


Might as well pop it trying +10. It still glows purple if success, right?
Hi,
Have one question. I have my shadow bow final stage and i read in options i can use 1 special soul crystal on the weapon. That is after last update. What kind of soul stone can i use. Kain and mermoden are normal soul crystal i think. Have examples of special soul crystals or the names of this stones?
Thanks
"Special Soul Crystal" is at the moment only the Mystic Soul Crystal from the Mystic Tavern instances. It's the 3rd/green one on this screenshot:
