Lineage II The Chaotic Throne:
Gracia Final
Dev Diary # 5: New Items,
Weapons, Armor, Capes/Cloaks in Gracia Final
New Items in Gracia Final
The new Lineage II expansion, Gracia
Final has introduced players to a myriad of new items, including weapons and
armor, which have never been seen in the lands of Aden. Players can also enjoy
other fantastic additions, such as Cloaks, Sigils, and Attribute Crystals, if
they are willing to lend themselves to the new fight for good in the Seeds of
Destruction and Infinity.
Brave warriors who conquer raid
bosses deep within the Seed of Destruction and Seed of Infinity may find
themselves owners of brand new Vesper armor. These pieces have been added as the
new S84 armor grade. Vesper can also be upgraded to Vesper Noble armor by
venturing back to the seeds where Vesper Noble Enhance Stones can be earned. As
the path to this reward is paved with danger and uncertainty, only the most
stalwart will survive in their quest to obtain this illustrious armor.
In addition to astonishing new armor
sets, Cloaks and Sigil’s are also included with this latest update. As cloaks
have never been available in-game, this is a milestone for Lineage II characters
who wish to complete their physical appearance. Ancient Cloaks are awarded to
those who brave the battlefields of Territory War, Knight’s Cloaks are available
to those who have achieved high ranks within their clan, and Holy Spirit’s
Cloaks are rewards for those who conquer major raid bosses, including those in
the Seed of Destruction and Seed of Infinity. Sigil’s are newly added
shield-type armor pieces that benefit magic using classes. While shields have
offered simple protection, these smaller, wrist shield pieces equip in the
shield slot and add varying statistics to specific magic using classes.
Stylish armor isn’t the only new
draw to these battles. New Vesper weapons and Dual Daggers are waiting to be
awarded to champions. The different Vesper weapon types are high level rewards
for raid bosses in the Seed of Destruction and Seed of Infinity, just as Vesper
armor pieces are. Various dagger weapons can now be combined to create a Dynasty
Dual Dagger, an Icarus Dual Dagger, and a Vesper Dual Dagger. These Dual Daggers
can be manufactured by the Blacksmith of Mammon or Master Ishuma and can be
wielded by characters who have reached level 81.
Finally, players who are fans of
elemental attributes will be thrilled to hear about new Attribute Crystals. This
upgrade to the attribute items allows players to double the amount of elemental
effects that can be added to their weapons and armor. Those who seek out the
materials for Attribute Crystals in Gracia will be richly rewarded with this
customization to their weapons and armor.
Vesper armor, Icarus weapons, Dual
Daggers, Sigil’s, Cloaks, and Attribute Crystals; these are only a small part of
the massive update that is Gracia Final. Explore new terrain, brave new
dungeons, and soar into the atmosphere in a grand effort to obtain the latest
and greatest items available in Lineage II.
