So many carebears in this game.
Back in my day, MMOs have ridiculous high-end gear gaps from intermediate equips.
Most of refining system required you to use a specific item to enhance your gear(here you just use silver). And some of them, fail enhance means your equipment breaks.
Tales of players losing motivation to play and goes hiatus because their precious +9 weapon broke is very common.
here is a âcommonâ: quited because destroy their trans 9 wp because of a stupid time bug.
All of you should be grateful this game even pumps out content with their bare bones approach to things.
Casual gear for casual players, why ppl think the game will be better if u got all for free? stop crying and play.
Look, if theyâre gonna give away free varna gear, at least let it be T0, so you actually have to put in some effort in the freaking game dude.
So basically, what you want is âŚ
From the start of EP 12, custom-tailored with fixed/random ichors, for free.
You just want a free fully upgraded Varna set with no effort put in on your part. Stop ignoring facts and insisting that intended features of Savinose equipment needs to be âfixedâ when players using Savinose do just fine in kToS. Its not like Legend Skiaclipse Raid will disappear after the next patch.
Things are not âgoing downâ. Thereâs more than enough time to prepare for future legend gear, so stop crying wolf and fear-mongering to beg for free items instead of yâknow, actually playing the game to get them.
maybe @Ignitor create account just literally like his name, to ignite the forum,
pretending to be victim of the system to âprovokeâ you guys. Just ignore his crybaby demand, waste of bandwith
Iâm casual - with +4000 hours play time 
- and got +11 Savinose armor and weapon set already before the event ones, and some event weapons for alt(s) already, and Iâm OK about the predicted âpower gap between Savinose and Skiaclipse legendariesâ with the EP 12 update and I think there should be a difference between my poor Savinose and Skiaclipse Varna ones. What I grind is what I get.
Case closed.
Edit: Typo + grammer fixes
Stop arguing guys wtf⌠âcontentâ ainât even here yet but many are getting stressed about it already
IMC, being IMC, will do whatever they want in their game
i see people here are excited and are in high-spirits for tomorrow ~ 
Episode 9:
Episode 11:
Frankly if episode 12 is harder with the casual stuff we get, it will simply make the game more interesting. Usually I update my stuff every 2 episodes, so I wonât get Varna and simply use Savi (50% of my chars) or upgrade Velco (other 50%). Since most of my chars are using a 2h weapon, Iâm pretty sure using and upgrading ornament + ark will be more than enough to obtain the needed boost for episode 12. Disnai equipment not available for months? Iâm sure this will simply give time to actually play the game, level up all chars from 420 to 450, get upgrades for current equipment, do episode 11 content (Legend Skia, Misrus) that was very hard and now will be more manageable, enjoy party content with guildmates, and much more the game has to offerâŚ
Iâm annoyed mostly about having to do another +16 weapon of the same tier (because as usual they handled fencers terribly - none of the vaivora ichors available to fencer raises crit rate, so itâs random or nothing). But even i wouldnât ask for an handout like the guy above, letâs be clear.
That said, when i see people talking about âcritting lessâ like itâs nothing, itâs clear they have no idea about how a fencer works - skills are balanced over epee garde, so either you crit or the damage is awful, worse than other classes. And due to idiotic design decisions, the attack gap is getting even furthered (the high variance in two handed weapons is a straight huge buff when using barbarian, and the added ornament attack just pushes it further; and scouts get a straight buff too). And seeing as instead of crit rate i get block penetration or accuracy in those vaivora, i should as well hope theyâll get some use. Weâll see, but iâm kinda doubtful about it.
Since when do we complain 24/7, instead of discussing in this Thread ? 
but looking at him is a kind ofâŚahem⌠entertainment ? XD
well i think fencer have ole and muletaâŚthose are 118% crit rate buff already. So crit rate wont even be a problem (say, doppel BB gonna need 3200 critrate, while fencer mata can just get 1600 and call it a day, even now with even nepa or uphill set, ppl can reach 1200-1300 crit rate easily). So, a draw back in crit rate (and about 300 patk, 10k HP i assume ?) wont betoo impactful.
They whole point of having a class that escales with crit damage while not having crit rate, is to make it build towards something. Might as well give everything to it so you donât even need gear :pogchamp
errrrâŚ
Basically most people went through that cycle a few times.
Virtov gear >Grynas Plate > Lolopanther > Solmiki was the old progression route
Those who had no access to solmiki had to use Primus armors for Velcoffer. Also primus do not have base transcendence value. You had to invest some blessed gems into that for your Velco starter pack, like T5 minimum. Original Velco is even more costly and took longer than Varnas to craft. The original ichor costs were extremely high.
You had to use powders to even equip ichors, also no such thing as ichor transmutation back then. Primus drops were also 7 x lower than the current drop rate we have.
The first wave of Velco users were hardcore af, thatâs all i can say.
All efforts gone, with the introduction of:
Yeah all the hours people spent locked into Savi is gone.
Not just Your Savinose. We spent it all on Velco, Lolopanther, Solmiki as well.
If you want normalised gears, maybe try another game
and no joke, but you can use â â â â â â â velco gear now with 430 random ichors and fixed ichors. The only bad thing is you donât get ataka or smugis, outside of that, as legend armor its pretty good.
You might want to stop posting any more until you get yourself more informed instead of thinking that other people are thinking âone-sidedâ.
Maybe you didnât consider the fact that Savinose did not come out at the same time as Varna. In fact, Savinose came out 3 months earlier than Varna. While the time gap from Varna to Disnai is too short, the time gap between Savinose and Disnai isnât at all. Also, Its not like players donât need to farm and upgrade equipment prior to doing endgame content before, and leave those equipment behind for better gear with new content updates.
Again, it is intended by IMC for Savinose to not be able to equip Random Stat Ichors, not something bugged that needs to be âfixedâ. Thereâs no need to call others as âone-sidedâ and so on just to entertain your blatant ignorance over this.
Gotta test it tomorrow, since all weâve got so far is the higher resistance values (but we arenât sure if the new formula applies only to pvp or monsters too). That said, increasing those buffs further doesnât come for free, and it means i would either have to remove faena completely (it got worse after they removed the canceling, but still fine for challenges and such due to the relatively higher aoe ratio) or lower back slide (it would mess up some rotations though, so iâll avoid doing it). I would have to devolve most of the points of a class to make up for a single stat of a fixed ichor, basically.
But just like i have to work around to make up for the lack of crit rate given by fixed ichors, i should expect those other classes to have to make up for the lack of block penetration or accuracy that the vaivora rapier and dagger instead get. Again, weâll see about it. But i guess theyâll have no issue at all, as usual. By the way, we can talk about using accessories to make up for crit rate tooâŚbut whereas i have to use drakonas pasiutes or whichever other crit stat, those classes can put up moringponia pictis accessories, get a lot more of the same crit rate just from the weapon and have a ton of physical crit attack added upon. The impact of those fixed ichor stats is just that heavy. And again, they also have far higher physical attack to start with tooâŚ
Replying to ArenaWaifu, well, take the list of vaivora items and tell me which of those are useable by fencers and have crit rate. Then come back with the answers.
I canât âbuild toward somethingâ if that something doesnât even exist. I get accuracy and block penetration instead.
Letâs do some quick check. The max evasion enemies have from before patch is 588, from moringponia. After the patch is 609. A minimal increase with around 5 enemies having such values. So there you are, accuracy from dagger is already useless to start with. But maybe theyâll block more? No, before patch we have enemies with 380 block and at most it gets to 420 with the next patch, just with a couple monsters having such a value.
So there you are. Theyâre indeed padding stats and are absolutely useless for the new content. And i get those instead of a crit rate that could have been useful instead.
