1.9 information

Alright since this is VERY late information for people who've played retail and apparently very NEW&EXCITING information for people who barely knows what 1.9 is, so let me clarify some stuff.

Items

1. Armsfusion is a new system for combining two-handed weapons.

[Armsfusion screen]
​

[A fused weapon]​

Two-handed weapons such as greatswords, polearms, staffs, spellbooks, orbs, and bows can be fused.
Each city’s remodeling shop has an Armsfusion Officer NPC who can fuse your weapons.



In order to fuse your weapons, the target weapon must be of a higher or equal level to the secondary weapon’s item level. Also, the two weapons must be of the same type.
The Armsfusion process has the following effects:
Basic stats: 10% of the secondary weapon’s basic attack power and 10% of its magic boosting power are added to the main weapon. Any stats that are lower on the secondary weapon will not be changed.
Options: The secondary weapon’s options are added to the main weapon. The higher vales for attack speed, casting speed, and PVP attack power increasing options will be kept.
Manastone slots: The secondary weapon’s Manastone slots are added to the main weapon, including any Manastones that are socketed in them.
Socketed Godstones are only transferred from the Primary weapon (even if only the secondary weapon has a Godstone socketed)
The Manastone slots from the two fused weapons remain distinct so you can socket each one separately. For example, when an attempt to socket a Manastone in one of the main weapon’s original sockets fails, the remaining main weapon’s Manastones disappear, but the secondary weapon’s Manastones remain intact.
When socketing Manastones on a fused weapon, a socketing screen appears from which players can select either the original Manastone slot or one of the slots that was added by the secondary weapon.



A fused weapon cannot be traded or stored in account or legion warehouses.
The fusion process destroys the secondary weapon.
Players can undo the fusion process by speaking with the Armsfusion Officer NPC and selecting the Armsbreaking option. The primary weapon will once again become tradable and storable.
Weapons destroyed in the fusion process are not restored when Armsbroken.

2. A socketing supplement, which greatly increases the enchantment stone and Manastone-socketing success rate, has been added.
The socketing supplement has three versions: lesser, regular, and greater. The socketing rate bonus increases with better grade supplements.
Lesser socketing supplements can be purchased from the Item Remodeller and the Medicine Merchant in Sanctum, Eltnen, Heiron, Pandaemonium, Morheim, and Beluslan.
The regular and greater supplements are not yet available, but will be added in a later patch.
Players who have socketing supplements in their cube when attempting to socket an enchantment stone or Manastone will see a screen allowing them to select the particular stone and supplement they wish to use.
Players who do not have supplements in their cube will continue the socketing process without a socketing screen, except in the case of socketing a Manastone into a fused two-handed weapon. That process always displays a socketing screen.



3. Items’ max socketing value has been increased from +10 to +15 for Weapons, Armor and Shields that are Fabled or Eternal.
Socketing from +1 ~ +10 has the same success rate as before.
From +11, the success rate is lower.
When socketing fails at +11~+15, the value falls back to +10.
This only refers to items that are Fabled or Eternal.

4. Strengthening armor with an enchantment stone will result in an increased physical defense, HP, and physical critical resistance rate bonuses.
The increased stat does not appear at +0 socketing status.



5. The level of “Artisan” has been added to the crafting system.
Upon reaching a crafting skill level of 449, players can go to a Crafting Trainer NPC to advance further.
Once players become Artisans, their maximum level in the skill increases to 499.
Players can become Artisans of two crafting skills.
Existing Crafting Level names have been changed:



6. Extract Vitality is now known as Essencetapping and Extract Aether is now known as Aethertapping.

7. The maximum Essencetapping and Aethertapping levels have been raised.
Players who reach level 399 for either of the gathering skills can go to the Master NPC for the relevant skill. They may then complete a quest and pay a fee to advance to the rank of Expert.
Players who become Experts will have a new maximum skill level of 499.

8. There is now a character level requirement in addition to the skill level requirement for Aethertapping



9. Certain new resources will require specific tools to gather.
These tools can be purchased from the Essencetapping merchants and Aethertapping merchants in the large cities.
The specific collection items will be introduced in new zones in an upcoming expansion.

10. A Superb Essencetapping Hat and a Superb Aethertapping Hat, which show nearby collection items (above skill level 400) on the radar, have been added.
These hats can be purchased from the Essencetapping item merchants and the Aethertapping item merchants in the large cities.
Names of some existing gathering hats have been changed to match the new crafting levels:



11. New recipes and morphing books have been added for both Elyos and Asmodian factions.
A Crit Spell Scroll and an Awakening Scroll which can be crafted from materials found in existing zones, have been added.
Please note that some of the newly added designs are to be crafted from materials that will be found in new zones to be added later. They cannot currently be crafted.
New Morphing Methods have been added for rare collection. Some examples of items that can now be morphed are: Greater Adamantium Ore, Fresh Neunan, and Big Ruby Ore.

12. A resource dismantling system has been added.
Double-clicking on high level resources (e.g., Greater, Pure, Brilliant) results in dismantling them into three lower level resources. E.g., Brilliant Aether -> 3 Pure Aether
Resources that can be dismantled are marked as bundled material items in the item type.



13. A limited edition system has been added.
Certain items only exist in a set quantity and will be marked as "sold out" when stocks have been exhausted.
Sold out items will be restocked after a period of time, varying by item.
Some items have a maximum per character quantity. In those cases, only a set number can be purchased by a player regardless of stock levels.



If a player hits the maximum quota, they must wait for a certain amount of time to pass before purchasing the item again. As before, the length of time varies according to the item.
Items that are sold out or whose max quantity a player has reached will be marked in red.

14. Material Merchant NPCs and Flux Merchant NPCs responsible for selling Aether and Fluxes respectively have been added.
Aether and Fluxes are limited edition items, so only a fixed amount can be purchased.
See below for information about the NPCs who sell these stones.



15. A brand-name boutique shop has been added in each capital.
Elyos can purchase brand-name apparel from NPCs Persate, Rebbana, Margela, and Tieco in the Galleria of Grandeur.
Asmodians can purchase brand-name apparel from NPCs Rudran, Enira, Spyridon, and Carrin in the Vanahal Boutique.

16. A new Mist system has been added with weapons and armor that are only good for a set amount of time after purchase.
Items purchased from a Mist Merchant can automatically disappear once the time is up.
Mist equipment cannot be stored in an account or legion warehouse, cannot be sold, and cannot be modified in appearance.
Mist equipment cannot be strengthened with enchantment stones, Manastones, or Godstones.
Armsfusion is not permitted with Mist equipment.
Players can purchase Mist equipment from Mist Merchants in Sanctum, Eltnen, Heiron, Pandaemonium, Morheim, or Beluslan.

So if someone is using 1.9 on the server, are they able to like, buy some of the added stuff? For example, the two new outfits? Or the wings?

 

Wuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 

I accidentaly tried to play GamezAion with a 1.9 version and No, it doesnt let you play. In fact, all of the language is changed from English to Korean and when you try to choose the server, it disconnect you (But it says it in Korean so I dunno if its an actual Error or just a disconnect)

 

Thanks for the spam


And to answer bliss's question no.

 

Awh, hopefully one day Gamezaion will support/use 1.9 :3

 

Use the new launcher ._.

 

1.9

I'm interested in the materials merchant and the new area to open up next. :lol: The spawned crafting npcs were really awesome, but it would be nice to buy some aether from a vendor. More time for pvp.

 

We already have a few features such as the floting bars. LFG window but I cant seem to find that NPC that lets u Fuse 2 weapons or the one that lets u put in all the mana stones at once. are those usable yet?

 

are these functional??

just asking since 1.9 is out ??
are all these features functional?

 

Lol copy and paste much

but I'm sure those who haven't seen this info will appreciate it
