Wow you're fast. o.o

Hexbound and Runebreaker look interesting though. I really hope that the former isn't locked behind the UR tier as that tier is really too bloated at this point. Not to mention the frequently requested revamps of various GGB items that seem either too strong or too weak for their tiers.



Lv 1000 -> RE: AQClassic: August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/8/2022 14:04:06)

Excited for a weapon/shield set and a weapon/shield/armor set. We normally don't get this much outside of the crossover months so I'm looking forward to it.



Cupquake -> RE: AQClassic: August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/8/2022 15:03:06)

Is there any chance the z token bonus can be extended for UmbralWalker?



The Hollow -> RE: AQClassic: August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/8/2022 15:20:49)

Yes, the Z-Token bonus will be extended for one extra week and will end Tuesday August 16th 11:59PM EST!



RobynJoanne -> RE: AQClassic: August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/8/2022 19:52:51)

Thanks Hollow!

Are there really no plans to update ShadowWalker of Time and UmbralWalker of Time?

Warriors can't use the armor's first skill because it still forces Ranged/Magic. The second skill, the one people want it for, provides permanent Fragile, but Fragile still has no consistent valuation. The idea of permanent Fragile should remain regardless of how the devs eventually tackle the valuation of stat reduction.

The weapon's Celerity chance is mostly right. Celerity for the player is worth 100% Melee. Celerity for a guest is usually considered free and paid for by guest upkeep (It should be 25% Melee due to current guest assumptions, but this would definitely change when the devs tackle Cha and guests in general for the stat revamp. I don't think this warrants changing right now.). Pet Celerity is 40% Melee. The MC is worth 5% Melee on the Melee/Ranged forms and 3.75% Melee on the Magic form. With the +0 save, that's doubled. Add on the auto-hit penalty due to the effect being independent of hits connected, and it's correct. However, I think most would hope that the weapons could pay 10% damage to increase this chance.

The shield's Bleed no longer has the old effect of not affecting certain monsters based on their tag, so it should be fine as is.



Sphinx Jevoha -> RE: AQClassic: August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/8/2022 22:15:52)



Hello!

I agree with the others above, there are way too many GGBs in the UR section, we need to trim it down. Hopefully the new Hexbound Knight armor is in the Rare GGBs.

I hadn't planned on any updates since the gear is all fairly recent. The Umbralwalker of Time Set has arrived! With the ongoing Z-Token bonus there are both 20K and 50K packages for players wanting the extra Z-Tokens.



Bolter -> RE: AQClassic: August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/8/2022 22:58:02)

may we please get the Umbralwalker of Time shop quickly

With all due respect, it's at least 5 years old. It could probably stand to have a little bit of a looksie given standards have changed many times over that period.

I think that the first skill should be updated to allow for Melee damage at bare minimum.



thhappycanoeist -> RE: AQClassic: August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/8/2022 23:56:57)

as someone who bought the umbral set, the damage is only half of what it should be for warriors because it uses the old standard of str/dex. hope it can be changed cause right now its rather useless for warriors



Taeyang -> RE: AQClassic: August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/9/2022 0:09:01)

+1 on updating the armor skill for warriors please!



GwenMay -> RE: AQClassic: August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/9/2022 0:21:03)

I just wanted to say, I love the look for Hexbound Knight and Runebreaker Armaments! Can't wait.



Sphinx Jevoha -> RE: AQClassic: August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/9/2022 5:30:24)


I also agree with everyone above, on that the Skills of the Shadow/Umbral set should be updated to current standards.

Since this will be a 50k Z-Token item, it should be updated just like the Akriloth/Sinmaw/Airenal items.

A very simple solution would be to make the first skill, "Overclocked", a weapon-based Skill that follows your weapon type. Similar to what we've had for Akriloth/Airenal, etc.




Red Blood -> RE: AQClassic: August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/9/2022 7:45:20)

For those asking for the Overclock to be updated currently Umbral does follow your weapon type. The update wasn't pushed to the Og armor yet however.



PD -> RE: =AQ= August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/11/2022 1:54:20)

Just a humble request while this update is going live this week - Can we get SWOT to become scaled as well? Now that all monsters are equal-level scaling, it's essential that this armor also be able to scale as well.

Come to think about it, the equal-level monster scaling engine update has been rather oppressive in terms of early-game difficulty for new/existing characters. Maybe we should have a discussion about this some time in the future...



Lv 1000 -> RE: =AQ= August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/11/2022 13:37:31)

I agree, SWoT should be updated to scale.



Sphinx Jevoha -> RE: =AQ= August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/11/2022 14:45:41)


Are the GGBs coming today?



The Hollow -> RE: =AQ= August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/11/2022 15:03:24)

No, it's going to be a Friday release this week.



battlesiege15 -> RE: =AQ= August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/12/2022 8:21:24)

Info subs for the Shadowwalker items since they are a little harder to find!

Armor
Shield
Weapon: Staff/ Weapon: Dagger
This looks like a pretty awesome set.

For those that have it, can the monster fight off the Fragile status or once it is inflicted, it stays for the rest of the battle?

Fragile is a duration-based status and this instance of it lasts for 9999 turns (unfortunately, Fragile did not receive an update to give it support for proper infinite turns), so no they can't shrug it off normally. There could be a monster in the future with the ability to remove negative statuses which would cleanse Fragile.



The Hollow -> RE: =AQ= August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/12/2022 12:40:27)

Looks like we'll need some extra, extra time this week so the release will be coming Saturday.



Sir Cloud -> RE: =AQ= August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/12/2022 12:59:17)

^Sounds just fine Hollow. Got plenty to do with taking down some mobs right now with the War anyway :)



The Hollow -> RE: =AQ= August 2022 Golden Giftboxes (8/12/2022 16:11:41)

Scaling versions of Shadowwalker of Time set can now be bought from the shop in Ballyhoo!
