For those who don’t keep up with patch notes: http://pastebin.com/xpgUTniB
‘Summon Orb’ item has been added to all monster item drops.
You can summon monsters by using this summoning item. Monsters drop a blue and red version.
Blue orbs summon a copy of the monster for 180 seconds to fight with you.
Red orbs summon a copy of the monster to fight against you. It will disappear if not defeated in 180 seconds.
All orbs share the same cooldown.
The blue ones remind me of an item in another mmorpg i used to play called Priston Tale, in this game some monsters dropped crystals that summoned that monster to fight for you, giving you all the exp and items from anything it killed.
The red ones remind me of dead branches from RO, only there is a time limit and you know exactly which monster you’ll be fighting when you use it.
This is probably one of my new favorite changes since CBT 1, anyone with access to kCBT3 know the drop rates on these yet?
