Weapons & Equip Remastered Ancient Cobalt Armor - give more love to this thing!

[Heretic]

So, what we have now? An graphical analogue of these

? It's pretty dumb idea.

Poor mages. All glory comes to jungle armor and ancient cobalt armor is abaddoned. This is slightly unfair, isn't it?

Now i suggest this idea with one objective: to revive the forgotten by everyone Ancient Cobalt Armor.

Introducing the

Remastered Ancient Cobalt Armor

Total Defence: 19

Stats: +60 mana, +9% magic damage

Set Bonus:

Old: -14% mana consumption

New: Killing an enemy gives you new buff

Ancient Blessing
(i'll change icon sprite soon)

Description: +2% magic crits chance when you kill enemies, stacks up to 6 times

Buff Duration: 9 seconds

Basically, it gives to player an opportunity do deal bonus damage to other enemies, being particularly useful during invasions.

Ancient Cobalt Helmet

Old stats: 5 defence, +40 mana, +4% magic crits chance

New stats: 6 defence, +20 mana, +3% magic damage

Ancient Cobalt Breastplate

Old stats: 6 defence, +20 mana, +4% magic crits chance

New stats: 7 defence, +20 mana, +3% magic damage

Ancient Cobalt Leggings

Old stats: 6 defence, +20 mana, +4% magic crits chance

New stats: 6 defence, +20 mana, +3% magic damage

As you see, remastered ancient cobalt armor is more intended for damage dealers, and with that the jungle armor fits well with support mages.

And this means what you now have two ways of progress - Dungeon or Jungle.

So, let's talk about the way of obtaining it:

Obtaining the Armor

1. Armor pieces can be dropped by Dark Casters with 5% chance (1/20 chance)

Pretty obvious idea. Dark Casters are mages, and the Dungeon contains a big amount of magic weapons. Get it?

2. Armor can be founded in Golden Chests in the Dungeon

More acceptable concept than farming. Because all armor set can be founded in one chest. Easy and not so interesting, but without hurting your nerve cells

But you still need to have this thing to open those chests, don't you?

[InvalidOS]

Yes. Just yes.

 

[Heretic]

Yes. Just yes.

Thanks, probably.

Here comes the update of suggestion! So yeah, i improve some weird word expressions and add a few images. And now anybody can see history of this thread. Let's see how my suggestion can get some comments.

 

[M4D-4LI3N]

Wow, magnificent idea! To give players an actual reason to search and use the Ancient Cobalt Armor Set is definitely a great suggestion. I totally support this

 

[M4D-4LI3N]

Oh, one suggestion to make:
Generate each part of the armor on 3 separated chests inside the dungeon, get it all at once seems to easy.

I thought about that way of obtaining before, but i decided what this is hardcore - separate armor pieces. Anyway, thanks for support and give me this idea.

But we want challenges, there's enough cheesy items already(it takes some knowledge to get them but they're cheesy). The struggling makes the reward better. But it's your call(i'm just trying to put it out there for debate). Besides, farming casters with a 1/33 chance might be even harder.

But i don't said what this is final version of suggestion.

Yes, i know you didn't said anything about this being definitive, that's precisely why i'm trying to open a debate(to improve the suggestion if it's possible). It's a good idea, all i'm doing it's thinking about what implies from a gamer's perspective. So this is my proposal: Make it hard to find but worth the trouble. That will make the set a "must have" in all mage's lists. What do you say?

 

[Heretic]

It's time to update suggestion! Now armor pieces can be dropped by dark casters with 1/20 chance (1/33 chance before), and @M4D-4LI3N suggested pretty cool idea! What idea - look in OP for details.

Already updated OP

 

[DarkWiz17]

I thought they already had Ancient Cobalt Armor? Or are you just buffing it?

 

[Heretic]

It's rebalancing of Ancient Cobalt Armor. In rude words, yes, it's buffing.

 

[M4D-4LI3N]

Already updated OP

Nice, now this is more of a correction:

But you still need to have this thing to open chests, haven't it?

I think it should say: "But you still need to have this thing to open those chests, don't you?"

Dark Casters is mages, and the Dungeon contains big amount of magic weapons. You got it.

"Dark Casters are mages, and the Dungeon contains a big amount of magic weapons. Get it?"

So, let's talk about way of obtaining.

PD:Not trying to be a know-it-all, just trying to lend you a hand with grammar issues( 'Cause i know that in Russia, the English types you my friend )

Thanks!

And i made yet another update of my grammar! Probably now all members can read OP without cringe.

 

[M4D-4LI3N]

Cool, but there's more from where that came from( sorry, it's all for a greater cause )

More acceptable concept than farming. But it have two ways of realising:

"More acceptable concept than farming. But it it could happen in two different ways:"

Sounds more wisely and bravely! At least you can have fun of sneaking around.

"It sounds more wise and brave! At least you can have fun while sneaking around."

Sorry, i didn't get it!
Also: Just spotted another one:

And this means what now you have two ways of progress - Dungeon or Jungle.

"And this means you now have two ways of progress - Dungeon or Jungle."

You never fixed this one.
I apologize for being so annoying.
