Death Weapon Revamp

[HaZe]

We continue to act on the feedback we received from our poll on discord by continuing to improve the Newbie Experience. This time, we tackle a weapon system that was overshadowed by newer equipment.. but somehow, these weapons still remain widely used by newbies today.

With this update we drastically improve the effect of Death Weapons, which we consider to be a stepping stone before Elite Weapons. Still, this update aims to close the gap between newbies and veterans, as well as give our newbies a taste of what leveling an Elite Weapon feels like. The effects themselves have been improved to a point where even veterans may find use for them for certain scenarios.

DEATH WEAPON REVAMP HIGH LIGHTS

• All weapon effects have been revised and and greatly improved.
  
• All weapons have been set to level 3 for refine rate and bonus purposes.
  
• All weapons now have a new effect based on weapon's refine rate.
  
• All weapon now have a new effect based on Death Weapon Mastery. (more below)
  
• All weapon can be enchanted with 1 Weapon Enchant after reaching Death Mastery of 5,000 (It costs 10 BraveRO Tokens through NPC at Death Match Shop)
  

DEATH WEAPON MASTERY

• Death weapons can be mastered by slaying MvPs or killing other players in virtually any map.
  
• Slaying an MvP with MvP EXP awards 1 point
  
• Killing a player in PvP, WoE or BG awards 5 points.
  
• Death Weapon mastery is based on weapon i.e Tsurugi mastery is different than Grimtooth mastery.
  
• Death Weapon Mastery is character based.

specially this part :
MATK + 15+(DeathMastery/500)% - (25% Max MATK)
Magical damage to All Races by (DeathMastery/250)% - (20% Max)

assume as mention above, from this part

All weapon can be enchanted with 1 Weapon Enchant after reaching Death Mastery of 5,000 (It costs 10 BraveRO Tokens through NPC at Death Match Shop)

MATK + 15+ (5000/500)% - 25% max matk >>> MATK + 15 + 10% - 25% >>>> 0% ?
Magical damage to all race by (5000/250)% - 20% max >>>> 20%-20% max >>>0% ?

or theres no cap on deathmaster?

or would you mind to give an example for the death master calculation. cos my brain stupid.
Thank you

Does it make more sense now if I move the MATK+ 20% to the place of ATK on melee weapons? As of now, this weapon can give up to 45% MATK at maxed mastery. 20% by default, the weapon gives additional 15% matk bonus (35%) then the Death Mastery at 5000/500 = 10 +35 = 45%

Thank you for replying to my question

[NEW]
INT + 25
DEX + 25
MATK + 15+(DeathMastery/500)% ->> (25% Max MATK)
Magical damage to All Races by (DeathMastery/250)% ->> (20% Max)
Gain 1% HP for every refine level (10% Max)
Class: Rod
Base MATK +20%

So When achieved Max deathmaster point ( 5.000 points ), the base will be gone and replaced with the max one? or it will be added more from the base one?

As of now, this weapon can give up to 45% MATK at maxed mastery. 20% by default, the weapon gives additional 15% matk bonus (35%) then the Death Mastery at 5000/500 = 10 +35 = 45%

assume I gain only 1.000 deathmastery point, what happen to the matk %?
Thank you in advance.

INT + 25
DEX + 25
MATK + 25%
Magical damage to All Races by 20%
Gain 1% HP for every refine level (10% Max)
Class: Rod
Base MATK +20%

At 5,000 Mastery points the weapon will give the above benefits.


If you only have 1,000 it will give:
INT + 25
DEX + 25
MATK + 17%
Magical damage to All Races by 4%
Gain 1% HP for every refine level (10% Max)
Class: Rod
Base MATK +20%
