Quick side not about the Today's Event button that I just noticed: in the panel for the 2500 Token items (the bow and faces) I really like how the face displayed matches your current face settings, so you can see how it would look based on your current preference!

Spoilers ahead, below are the items:


spoiler:


The pet is an Ice pet that can switch between damage mode and freeze mode. According to the description, it also increases freeze potency.

The shield sounds like it makes you more resistant to stun/control/freeze. -26 ice resist, 12/17/12 MRM.

I'm not sure what the melee/ranged weapons do, but the magic weapon boosts ice spell damage. The special has maybe a 10% proc rate? Not sure. HOWEVER, when I tested it, I have never seen it not miss - so maybe bugged?

The armor is fully offensive ice, with water and wind secondaries (45/52/45 MRM). Definitely a bit disappointed it's not FD considering the bow theme of the set. The skill is currently BUGGED when used against combat practice trainer, but seems to work against other mobs. It changes the armor lean to neutral, locks you into ice damage + a small damage boost, and turns your attack into a "100% proc" attack with an attack type matching the attack type of your weapon. When using a Frostgale weapon, it will attempt to freeze. It also looks like it has a proper special.

The FSB is a chance to freeze I believe and you get "Opponents take penalty to any saves against statuses which both immobilizes and reduce defense". I'm not sure if that means it is makes them weaker against immobilize/defense reduction effects or if it means you are more resistant or both.

In my opinion, the pet is extremely powerful - likely better than both Diamond Flutterby and Nilak. The shield is meh, unless you are facing an opponent with ice attacks that also paralyze/control/freezes. You are likely better off with Cryo-Chrono Shield/Father Time/Pies, depending on your build. The magic weapon seems to be an upgrade on Arctic Athame, if its special wasn't bugged (if it is indeed a bug). Armor seems to be outclassed by subrace armors/HSVV/Cryomancer BM, but is probably the best option after that. The FSB...depends on what it means. If it only gives you +20 roll against effects that immobilizess AND reduces defense, then I don't think it's much use as there aren't any effect that does both. However, if it works on effects that freezes OR reduces defense, then it might be worth running the full set in your inventory to help with love potion/mesmerize/snarl (Shield is OK, pet is BiS, weapon is decent, armor is meh but good enough to run).


EDIT: NVM, info subs are out. Pet is amazing. Weapon is decent. Armor is alright quite strong considering its skill has no cost (outclassed by HSVV/subrace/cryomancer). Shield is meh. FSB is meh (as you will likely not be attempting to freeze an ice mob).

@Lolerster
to type spoilers use the tags [ spoiler ][ / spoiler ] with the spaces removed.

Info subs are out.

They do different things. The Arctic Athame boosts damage and this weapon adds freeze chance to your ice spells. I do agree the shield is meh though.

So is the +20 freeze potency of this pet equivalent to the -20 of Nilak?

I think so. Even if it isn't, the new pet also has its own freezing attack.

Hollow, I can't purchase the Zombie Hunter Set while it's available > https://www.battleon.com/aq-tokens.asp

Would it be possible to make it available till tomorrow or at least today? Thanks for your consideration.

Interesting new quest, and I love starting things off with a pun.

It's always nice to see more of the Watcher (and the continuing saga of his failed attempts to recruit somebody with a brain), and the dialogue between the hero and the wolf riders was pretty cool.

Admittedly, it's slightly disappointing that we never got our answers to what happened in the West, but I remain hopeful.


Btw, is Huntress some kind of a title or a job (especially considering the name Mistral)? Or does it just refer to a person who gets food by hunting wild animals?

See also my post above: http://forums2.battleon.com/f/fb.asp?m=22371311

It seems they have removed the Zombie Hunter Set from the in-game shop but forgot to remove it from the Z-Token Sale page.

Seeing it's still available > https://www.battleon.com/aq-tokens.asp

Usually, they will put it back to stay for a few days to compensate that they forgot to remove it from the Z-Token Sale page.

I have purchased 60,000 Artix Points in order to buy the Zombie Hunter Set since yerterday while it's still available from the Z-Token Sale page.

Hollow, in this case, would it be possible to make it available for a few days or at least 1 day? Thanks for your consideration.

So is HSVV still better? I actually never got that armor, I got this one because I liked how it looked better, instead of just being a massive void teethy boy. I mean, if the Void one is MILES ahead of this one though.

HSVV is old standard, meaning it's unbalanced and literally op. Nothing can beat it until it gets updated to modern standards

As for the new set, it has some uses for f2p, and the pet is pretty much BiS for ice for beastmasters. Other than that, it's nothing exceptional.

There were the items in part 1 of the quest line. They don't work with the set but they usually don't; the ancient regalia and scarab sets don't work with the MC set either.

Pfft hahaha!


Really nice quest with some classic AQ puns.

I have been experimenting some with this set and it does freeze your opponent quite often if wearing all pieces, excluding the shield.

The pet is definitely afflicting freeze very often and the damage toggle is a nice extra feature.

As for the weapons, I think they are OK but I am still unsure if to keep them in my active inventory.
I am basing it on the rarity of the freeze effect happening when only wielding the weapon.

The shield is not bad, but I think there are better options, will probably not be in my active inventory.
It all depends on your playing style.

The armour is quite useful and I like the skill toggle since it has a rare secondary bow attack.

@stratuscone

The armour itself doesn't transform however your weapon turns into a bow.

really cool quest. A bit long but all MC quest are..
the main problem I have is with the pet. It's just to freaking big.
It covers up almost all of the character.Guess it doesn't really matter,
but I like to see the character. would be better if it was about half that size.
Love all those shades of blue through out the quest though. great job Cray. (I'm assuming is the author.)
Two thumbs up !!!
