Elite Armor

Introduction

• Elite Armor is a new armor in the game that provides extra defense and/or extra stat boosts from a normal piece of armor.
• Unique areas in the game are able to spawn elite versions of special monsters that drop gear
• There are several tiers of elites that can show up. All tiers can drop the armors of the tier below it, including regular versions
  • Elite: Base version that can only drop elite armors with no bonus stats, but greatly increased defense
  • Veteran: Drops up to 1 stat
  • Noble: Drops up to 2 stats
  • Leader: Drops up to 3 stats
  • Grandmaster: Drops up to 4 stats

Stats Overview and Names

	Veteran	Noble	Leader	Grandmaster
Class	1 Stat	2 Stats	3 Stats	4 Stats
Fighter	Impenetrable	Stalward	Indestructible	Godly
Thief	Gifted	Shadow	Ancient	Legendary
Mage	Visionary	Saintly	Mythical	Ultimate

Example: (1)40 Str, (2)20 Con, (3)20 Dex, (4)40 Chr

Combat

• Elite monsters have Initiative, meaning they have a chance to attack FIRST
• Double the attacks of normal versions, but at reduced power depending on tier

Power Scaling Table

Elite	60%
Veteran	70%
Noble	80%
Leader	90%
Grandmaster	100%

What this means: Armor is king. The increased number of attacks make any mitigation much more valuable

Example:

I come across a monster with 2 attacks and 1000 damage. 2 x 1000 = 2000 total damage.
I come across a Noble Monster. They now have 4 attacks, but 80% of 1000 is 800.
So it's 4 x 800 = 3200 total damage.

If you aren't entirely sure on if you can survive, use consider in game. It takes account of all your characters stats, armor and buffs.
If it says you can survive, you can. If not, better wait until later.

Elite Hydra Example With Defense Calculation

1. Hydra - 3 attacks with 1,650 max hit
2. Reduce to damager per attack
3. Apply reduction based on elite tier of 60%
4. Apply defense of 84 from full Hydra set
5. Multiply by 6 for the doubled attacks to get new max hit

(1)

\begin{align} Old\ Max\ Hit\ = 1650 \end{align}

(2)

\begin{align} \frac{1,650\ damage}{3\ attacks} = 550\ damage\ per\ attack \end{align}

(3)

\begin{align} 60\%\ reduction \times 550\ damage\ per\ attack = 330\ damage\ per\ attack \end{align}

Subract 84 defense per attack

(4)

\begin{align} 330 - 84 = 246\ damage\ per\ attack \end{align}

(5)

\begin{align} \frac{246\ damage}{attack} \times \frac{6\ attacks}{round} = 1476\ damage\ per\ round \end{align}

(6)

\begin{align} New\ Max\ Hit\ = 1476 \end{align}

In this case, the elite hydra's max hit is actually LESS than the regular hydra!

Known Armors and Areas

Tier 2 Crab Lord

The Crab Lord is in the Beach and only drops 3 pieces of elite armor, 1 for each guild. The purpose is to introduce the new armor into the game, and also to get you familiar with the elite monster battle mechanics.

Elite monsters can attack first before you will, so you will need to make sure you are properly healed before the fight, and properly defended against any attack.
Testing with a character seemed to be that the max hit was somewhere less than 70, so if you have that much life, defense, or a combination of both, you will survive.

Here are the drops:

Type	Armor	Defense	Stat
Fighter	Elite Tin Placed Gloves	5	+5 Str
Thief	Elite Soft Leather Coif	5	+5 Dex
Mage	Elite Cloth Sandals	3	+5 Int

Training here can get you a small amount of gold by selling the armor. Not enough to really do anything, but enough to get a starter weapon, amulet of apprentice or buying the rest of the armor for your guild
(armor is overrated at this point in the game, so save the money).

Tier 4 Cave River(Ogre Cave)

Down at the very bottom of the Ogre Cave, if you go west and have the digging skill and a shovel equipped, you can enter the Cave River.

The Cave River has 3 sections. Elite, Veteran, and Noble. The monsters are enhanced versions of the Hydra, Pirarucu, and the Ogre-Eating Cave Spider.

Hydra drops fighter pieces up to Noble. Stat 1 is Str, Stat 2 is Con (40,20)
Pirarucu drops thief pieces up to Noble. Stat 1 is Dex, Stat 2 is Con (40,20)
Ogre-Eating Cave Spider drops mage pieces up to Noble. Stat 1 is Int, Stat 2 is Con(40,20)

Type	Armor	1st Stat	2nd Stat	Drops From	Location
Fighter	Hydraplate Equipment	+40 Str	+20 Con	Hydra	Cave River
Thief	Fishscale Equipment	+40 Dex	+20 Chr	Pirarucu	Cave River
Mage	Spidersilk Equipment	+40 Int	+20 Wis	Ogre-eating Cave Spider	Cave River

Max Hit Table

Name	Normal	Elite	Veteran	Noble	Normal Attacks	Elite Attacks
Hydra	1,650	1980	2310	2640	3	6
Pirarucu	1,650	1980	2310	2640	1	2
Ogre-eating Cave Spider	1,650	1980	2310	2640	8	16

Tips and other Helpful Information

Elite armors are new armors that are dropped by elite versions of creatures that already exist.

These new creatures can appear in different levels, each of which can hit harder than their corresponding creature they are based on.
Example versions of these are: Elite, Veteran, Nobel, Leader, Grand Master
Each level up can hit an extra 10% harder
Only the higher versions can drop the better versions of the armor and the drop rates on the better versions are VERY bad

WARNING: The creatures that can drop these armors can hit you 1st, and the higher up versions of them can hit really, really hard so be warned and always heal up

The base elite armor (the ones called elite) have the best armor values but have no stat buffs
The higher vrsions beyond base have less armor than the base (but far higher than anything else)
each step up after that is named something else and will add an extra stat buff

Not every armor slot is available at any given tier

Going from say pearl to dragon plate or dragon plate to aqua will double the stat buffs for the like version of the armor pieces

Naming:
Fighter: Elite > Impenetrable > Stalwart > Indestructible > ???
Stat 1 Str, 2 Con, 3 Dex, 4 Chr

Mage: Elite > Visionary > Saintly > Mythical> ???
Stat 1 Int, 2 Wis, 3 ??, 4 ??

Thief: Elite > Gifted > Shadow > Ancient > ???

Stat 1 Dex, 2 Chr(total worthless bullshit), 3 Con? (unconfirmed since none have been found), 4 ??

OK, so I understand and I want some, where do I get it?

Crab Lord in the SE section of the beach in the only spot where you can go down is your first shot at some this is better versions of the starter shop armors

Next up Is the bottom spot in the Ogre Cave. to enter the zone you have to equip either the band of earth or a shovel (just to enter after that equip your regular weapon)
This gives you a shot at hydra, fish scale, and spider silk

Then we have the hexagon which gives you a shot at holy pearl, serpent scale, and unicorn
This area is kind of confusing to navigate and has different entrances depending on your guild
Fighters: Just outside druid keep or in the dungeon
Thieves: The SW spot of the lake, or the middle of the southern part of the 2nd floor of sky castle
Mages: Bottom of the pit or a dead end in the maze

Note that entering the 1st spot of the hexagon will trigger damage
The outer portion only gives you regular versions of the creatures (no elites)

Next up we have the Volcano which gives you access to dragon plate, dragon scale, and dragon blood
These can be found on levels 9 and 7
level 9 has green dragons
level 7 has adult red dragons
These zones have stat restrictions on entering them

Next up is aqua shell, illusionary, and oracle
They can be found in the circular part of the river in the ocean
and 4 specific spots in the pyramid
Spot 1: pyramid top tele, go 2s 2e, then follow the path to level 3(leader Horus)(warrior mage leader)
Spot 2: Pyramid top tele: Go 2N then down, then n then e all the way, then D, then 2E (leader horus, Anubis leader)
Spot 3: there's a spot on the base that seemed to just have base elites so not really worth seeking out
Spot 4: ???

Note: Ancient level on Thief gear found from Warrior Mage Leader in the Pyramid Elite room Enchantments were Dexterity: +320 Charisma: +160 Constitution: +160

See Dino-Land for the next tier of elite armor beyond aqua/illusionary/oracle.
Dino scale is guildless so there is only 1 set but the stat buff on the piece is random and will be in the name of the piece.
