  • Adv magic can now be cast by elemental-respective wands, e.g. Hail Storm with Ice Wand.
    

  
  
  Unless there is a damage penalty, I don't agree with this.

  Err... Why? Don't staves typically fill the "balanced" archetype while wands are more powerful overall in their respective elemental category? It's not like you can use the other two int and adv magic anyway. Not to mention the fact that you can Adv magic with Merlin Knuckles, which aren't even better than a regular wand or staff.

  • Elemental charging staff concept dropped completely in favor for free int magic. This is a pretty pointless feature when all it does is just amplify bolt magic damage by 15 and wastes bolts just to be able to cast int magic which is a huge drop in magic DPS, when CC wands and free int magic, respectively, outperform that.
    

  
  I'd rather elemental charging be kept, added to all staves, and only effect bolt damage rather than what intermediate magic you can use a staff with, if things are changed at all. (If no other change, nonelemental staves should get elementals that only effect bolt damage, with older staves being kept the same.)

  I'm not sure what you mean by that. I still support separate elements for Ice, Fire, and Lightning charging staves.

  [SIZE="5"]Special Upgrade Changes[/SIZE]
  
  First off, when trying to step up from step 5 to step 6 (applies to both pathes), among the success rate there will be a hidden rate which will actually save your item and makes it to step down. The rate is 10% and for the special upgrade anvil inside hidden room of alban knight training ground's Hard Intermidate it's 3%. This little tweak is to actually confirm the message given by the anvil when trying to step up to step 6. Key word "may be lost."
  
  All clothes and (normal) light armors and heavy armors (excluding armors with base magic defence and magic protection like Royal Knight Armor) can be special upgraded in a bit different matter then weapons. Here are the details:

  
  
  • First you need to acquire a special item called "Dull Magic Stone". It will look like a blacked out Emerald Core. You can try to get one from elite mission's bosses up to 5 times a day, from lord mission at low chance from monsters and higher chance if it's merrow and from alban knights training ground's golem.
    
  • After acquring the stone, you'll need to synth it into "Light Armor's Magic stone" or "Heavy Armor's Magic Stone" (they will have mini-leather armor or plate armor inside respectively) by using light armor or heavy armor respectively (obviously). ONLY NPC-BOUGHABLE ARMORS CAN BE USED FOR THIS SYNTH!!! (those are fixed recepies [S]and another note: you can only use armors you have bought yourself [meaning you can't buy it for high price then sell it for lower price because the buyer wont be able to synth that armor][/S])[S]{Honestly, I don't know if this is pactical in terms of code ><}[/S]
    
    
  • Only light armor's magic stone can be used on light armors, only heavy armor's magic stone can be used on heavy armor; turning both into their "magic armor" version (and adding base magic def and base magic prot) and making them to be upgradeable through Weiss and adding up to 5 upgrade solts [mainly applies to light armors and clothes {more details next point.}]. (Note: Languhiris Chaser Armor, Bhafel Slayer Guard and Royal Knight Armor cannot be upgraded with neither stones because they are already "magic armor" type.)
    
    
  • Clothes can be special upgraded with either stones, making them benifiting from their respective armor masteries and upgrade paths while retaining cloth's enchant and reforge propaties.
    
    
  • These stones MUST be applied before any upgrade or otherwise wont be able to use them on the already-upgraded bodywear.
    
    
  • After appling the stones and upgrades (including gem upgrade), the bodywear can be further special upgraded (can only further upgrade if stones were applied before upgrading) using SINGLE blue or red upgrade stones as follows:
    
    
    • 1. Blue stone on light armor adding a great deal of base defense and protection (+20 and +14 respectively).
      
    • 2. Red stone on light armor adding half the amount mentioned above to both physical and magical protective stats.
      
    • 3. Blue stone on heavy armor adding auto passive defenses up to 30% (including magic auto defense).
      
    • 4. Red stone on heavy armor will have applied effects to that sole armor to: cancel fighter's step 3 damage reduction and can be used starting rF chain mastery AND cancels DEX penalty.
      
    
    

  
  Reason for me to make this is to make bodywear be "updated" to the current "magic armor" type and making light armors and clothes more protective and therfore, making the player more durable.
  
  Edit: Note: the special upgrading the bodywear through red or blue upgrade stones will be treated as steping from 5 to 6, applying all rates as of weapons and can be used for higher chance at alban knight training grounds's upgrade anvil. Applying the magic stones like holy waters, showing exactly what items can be upgraded through the stone.

  I think what's more needed is greater incentive to step 6, a way to protect your items and more balance between R and S. So piggybacking on the above post:
  
  Special Upgrade Revamp:
  
  Special Upgrade Stones:
  
  Now can drop in stacks of 3x, 5x, and 10x from Elite and Lord Missions, as well as being a possible reward from Girgashy Raids.
  Advanced Hard Mode Dungeons and Abyss Dungeons have an uncommon chance of dropping Advanced Upgrade Stones, which do not step down upon failure.
  
  Upgrade Protection Potion:
  3 ways of acquisition:
  
  Web Shop: 10,900 NX (no drawbacks, increases Special Upgrade% by 5%, does not step down upon failure)
  
  Drops from Abyss Dungeons (Base Upgrade Chance reduced by 15%, does not step down upon failure)
  
  Created by Potion Making using the following recipe (Base Upgrade Chance reduced by 15%, steps down upon failure)
  
  1 White Dragon Blood
  1 Black Dragon Blood
  10 Holy Water
  10 Base Potion
  20 Base Herb
  20 Mandrake
  20 White Herb

  First you need to acquire a special item called "Broken Magic Hammer". It will look like golden hammer of durability with a crack on it. You can try to get one from elite mission's bosses up to 5 times a day, from lord mission at low chance from monsters and higher chance if it's merrow and from alban knights training ground's golem.

  
  There actually is already an item called Magic Hammer that looks identical to Golden Hammers, its just not in NA yet. It kind of acts like a hammer of prof, or a plat hammer (depending on which magic hammer), specifically for magical equipment.
  
  I don't really like your idea to be honest. I'd rather they innovate armor upgrades than just tack on special upgrades. And just adding on magical defense and protection sounds kind of meh.
  
  

  Quote from koishi-sempai;1273921:

  S type upgrades are changed from:

  
  You called the R type the S type, so you have S type twice.
  
  
  To be honest, the only change I really want right now is a Cash item that ONLY keeps you're item from deranking in a special upgrades if it fails at 1~5, and prevents your item from being destroyed but instead deranks if an upgrade fails at 6. As well as a cash item that completely removes all special upgrades on an item (if you have a blue upgrade and want to go red, or vice versa, this'd be useful) and an item that removes gem upgrades (if you want to go redo artisan).
  
  I mean, there's other things I want done with the upgrade system, but that mainly applies to the actual upgrade system and to a lesser extent the gem upgrades.

  Lightning Rod:
  

  
  
  • Max Charge Damage replaced. I'm not exactly sure what yet; either a magic defense/prot reduction or a significantly long stun, but then LB and Thunder can already do the latter. However, Lightning Rod should NOT be putting Hail and Meteor to shame. Furthermore, all three Advanced spells have high damage, which is pretty redundant for the lightning one to do so as well.
    
  • Now has a loading time of 3 seconds, that is, Lightning Rod can't be used until then. So in order to get the max charge bonus, a total of 5 seconds is needed.
    
  • Mana cost increased to ~150. For an advanced spell, 60 is too fucking little, which is even less than ELF ICE SPEAR.

  Do note that I'm referring making the crystal useable... Not limiting the use of the already-snythed stone so, you could USE it on any armor but to MAKE the crystal, you'll need to buy armor from shop and last I recall, those armors are cheaper then most.
