Current situation in KR concerning gear?

General Discussion
#1

I understand that everyone got blinded by the R8’s rainbow flashing light, but how about gear and earth tower?

Can we reach 15th floor now easily?

Are swordsmen allowed now? or are they still a bad choice because melee will die in 2 seconds anyway even if its a full con pelt3rod3?

And what about new dungeons/gears, since currently some Lv170 weapons/bracelets/amulets are still the best until 280 (such as Catacomb/Maga weapons, sissel bracelets, max petamion etc…), did they add anything that we have to upgrade to?

I’m too lazy to search through infinite topics in inven, so might as well just seek someone here who knows about it.

Being able to do ET easily up to 10th/15th floor is enough to guarantee the possibility of a gear upgrade, which is why I’m mentioning it, especially with the new R8 classes making a HUGE difference.

R8 should allow players to easily clear through 15/F and possibly even 20/F as well (many teams will still have problems with survivability on the upper floors).

Lolopanther gear remains second best after the update before Solmiki gear which will be unattainable for a vast majority of the playerbase for quite a long time.

The bigger issue is that due to a nerf to the fragments dropped by bosses, it’s quite difficult to procure enough fragments to buy gear from ET. Someone fresh and new to ET after the update trying to get either the boots or gloves will have to spend 40 days farming the first floor if they’re unable to reach the 10th floor for some reason just to get the boots, since Pyroego will only drop one fragment instead of a random amount from two to six.

Here’s a link to new gear from the update that isn’t Solmiki equipment. There may be gear that isn’t yet available for translating. They recently added numerous blue items that are pretty decent.

That’s really bad…

Was the drop nerf added on the same update as R8s? what about higher floors for top/bottom piece for example?

If all the floors have the same terrible drop rate for their respective fragment, that would be annoying as hell, especially since swordies can’t really try to “rush” to get materials now in iToS before its too late…

Right now most players have a surplus of Lv. 1 Earth Fragments. I have around 600 extra just sitting around. This is getting two to six fragments for every boss kill that I’ve done since I started ET months ago. After the nerf is put in place, the structure is instead this:

Pyroego: Drops 1 Lv. 1 Earth Fragment.
Gosarius: Drops 2 Lv. 1 Earth Fragment.
Turtai: Drops 3 Lv. 1 Earth Fragment.
G’bb: Drops 4 Lv. 1 Earth Fragment.

Meaning for players to get items from any tier on time, they MUST progress to upper floors, no exceptions. On the bright side, this does increase the value of getting fragments from their respective cubes from Gosarius and beyond.

I can also confirm that Solmiki uses Lv. 2 Earth Fragment for their gear exchange. You cannot stockpile resources for that gear.

That should be good enough then, will just aim for Lolopanther in that case.

Thanks for the info!
