JM Currently posted D12 items, does it mean 12 degree coming soon or what?I m wondering
what will happen immortality and legend items?All going to sun +0 and +3?





We the GM team would like to introduce the new 12 Degree Item upgrade system.

This system will allow you to upgrade your 11 Degree weapons and equipments directly to 12 Degree.

If 11 Degree items are currently the best, Then you should upgrade them to 12 Degree because it is more powerful.

How to upgrade to 12 Degree? Let's check it out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to upgrade to 12D

1.Let’s prepare the items needed for the 12 Degree upgrade.

Key point 1! We need 11D equipments.
Key point 2! The Minimum requirement to upgrade to 12D is an 11D equipment with +7 or higher reinforcement.
Key Point 3! Upgrading will not work if you used an “enhanced level option scroll” on the equipment you are trying to upgrade.

2.Let's take a look on how to upgrade to 12D.



Key Point 4! The Awaken Stone is the item that upgrades 11D equipments to 12D equipments.
2-1) Click Y to Open the Alchemy Window.
2-2) Click on the Upgrade tab for upgrading to 12D
2-3) Place your +7 11D equipment and the Awaken Stone in the spaces provided in the Alchemy window. Then click upgrade.

Now what remains for you to do is wait whether the Upgrade will succeed or fail.
Key Point 5! If it succeeds then your Item will be upgraded and transformed to 12D.
Key Point 6! If it fails, then the 11D equipment will remain but the Special Awaken stone will disappear.
Key Point 7! Equipment attributes and magic options on the 11D equipment will not be transferred to the upgraded 12D equipment. Only sockets are transferred.
Key Point 8! It is possible to retain some of the 11D equipment's reinforcement to the newly upgraded 12D equipment. However this is random and it is not ensured to happen all the time.
* “Awaken stones” can be obtained from monster drops.
* There is a “Special Awaken Stone” available in the Item mall that has a higher rate of success when upgrading 11D equipments to 12D.

How to reinforce a 12D

If you succeeded in upgrading to 12D, congratulations to you! However we believe that you would want to make it more stronger by reinforcing your new Upgraded 12D equipment.

We the GM Team will teach you how to reinforce your 12D equipments.
To strengthen 12D equipments is different from strengthening lower Degree equipments.
so, Please check the details below before trying to reinforce your 12D equipments.
* Special Features of 12D
- Cannot be destroyed with destroy Rondo
- 12D Lucky powder is not available
- 12D Astral, Immortal, steady or Lucky stone is not available
- 12D Advanced Elixir is not available
- Can only be reinforced by using Enhancer, and not the normal elixir.
- When reinforcement fails, the equipment will be destroyed (when Magic Proof Stone has been used on the equipment, it will not be destroyed but the current reinforcement grade will get a minus 1 reinforcement.)
- Maximum Reinforcement grade is +12
* Amendments along with 12D system update
- When destroying 11D, Advanced elixir will no longer be obtainable.
- Maximum reinforcement grade of 11D item will be changed to +15.
We highly recommend that you use your advanced elixirs on your 11D equipments.

Now to reinforce a 12D equipment



1. Click Y to Open Alchemy Window.
2.Click on the reinforcement button
3.Put your 12D equipment and enhancer on the Alchemy window and start reinforcing.
Now what remains for you to do is wait whether the Upgrade will succeed or fail.
Key Point 9! When the reinforcement is successful, the equipment will get a +1 reinforcement.
Key Point 10! When the reinforcement fails, the equipment and the enhancer will disappear. But if you used a magic proof stone on your equipment then it will not be destroyed and the current reinforcement grade will only get a minus 1 reinforcement.
Key Point 11! item Enhancer can be obtained from monster drops.
Key Point 12! Magic proof stones which are used to protect your 12D equipments from being destroyed due to reinforcement can be obtained from the item mall.

This update may change as details are currently being developed. When updated, we'll guide you through announcements.

Enjoy our new system!

WTF, so what to do with all the 12 degree ADV?

These will probably have to be used on 11 or lower degrees then.

I will be trying to change my egy+9 to sun but the points that scare me is no lucky powders, no steady, luck, astral 12d so that will basically make it immpossible to plus.

Also if it fails the item disappears on any plus without their new immortal stone and if you have it and fail it automatically gets removed so you'll be buying a bomb load of those.

More $_$ for joymax.

lol is it me, or all I read is 'Item mall' 'Item mall' 'Item mall' 'Item mall' ?

Nice update from JM to get richer and give more advantage to silk buyers

And kinda weird they throw out all the current alchemy system for that new degree.
And this?

- When destroying 11D, Advanced elixir will no longer be obtainable.
- Maximum reinforcement grade of 11D item will be changed to +15.

Rofl, a chance that it fails to change to +12? wtf >.>

@ ^: it's just different for 12D I think, not for every degree.

Hmm the only good scenario I see from this is if you had a +10 egy wep, you turn it into d12, you are the LUCKY SOB for the day and it works PLUS you keep all previous reinforcement... aka you get a sun 12d +10 item instantly. The chance of that happening I'm sure is about the same as walking out to a mangyang field, killing one mangyang, and expecting a sun wep.

I lol @ the MUST have magic stone to prevent destruction of item. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I bet some stupid turk/egy rich kid won't read this, turns his nova +10 wep into d12, tries to make it +1, fails, and it goes poof....

Hmm, I might stay until d12 is released just to read all the rage from idiots. ^_^

TR_tr_JoYmAx_tr_TR

Really now..

Yes i know its only for 12D, but still kinda weird.

And by +12 you mean 12D ?

And well it was sure it wouldnt be easy to get 11D -> 12D, but the worse part is about the Awaken Stone that have less chance to work when you get it from drop, and the other one from item mall. I bet the one from drop have a ridiculously low chance of working since even the Item Mall one can fail.

And then Magif proof stones from Item Mall will be a must for anyone who wants to + 12D items since no one can afford them to be destroyed... $$$

And it says "item Enhancer can be obtained from monster drops." but I guess there is gonna have a better version in Item Mall as well


- When reinforcement fails, the equipment will be destroyed (when Magic Proof Stone has been used on the equipment, it will not be destroyed but the current reinforcement grade will get a minus 1 reinforcement.)

lol so even with Magic Proof Stone, if it fails you get MINUS 1, so if its +3 and fails, its then +2 -_-

Smart update from JM, I smell massive amount of silks being bought when this update comes out

Yeah I meant 12D rofl, and idd. But from what I read a +7 with advanced can be turned into a 12D right? Just not one that uses those silk scrolls to get +1-3.

Advanced elixirs can be used on 11D to make the item +7 to be able to convert it to 12D .

AE can be used to increase the + on an item to convert it and gain higher + when changed to 12D .

Btw i thought that when an item is upgraded to 12D you get the same plus you had on the 11D item (-7) , so a +10 normal nova would be a +3 12D , this is true , Right ?

In Ksro egy B wep becomes sun+3, egy A sun+0, regular nova som+0, normal weps sos+0

So nope, unless you get that reinforcement save you could save your + I guess? o.O

I feel like it's kinda messed up. Normal Egypt set has the same value as normal 11d set? I think the normal egypt set should be like normal nova 11d and turn into som, and NOVA imm set should turn into sosun.

Hell, a normal egypt set cost more than nova set now-a-days.

What I read was that people that pay money can instantly receive their item exchanger and just get on with their new weapon. Everyone else can grind and grab the item and have a chance.

Nothing new about that. A lot of games pull that kind of stunt. Though a lot of games do just keep it cash only to force users to buy it.

It's not weird. They want everyone to be able to have their weapon like everyone else. To be 'fair'? I don't know. It's not destroying an 11th degree for an elixir makes a difference when it's worthless for 12. Which makes me wonder.. is this 12th degree the final one? Seems very likely. +15 max.. who cares.

Though morons will be morons and just buy it from the item mall, because well they just love throwing money at people's faces. And most likely will not understand the simple system. Reminds me of people asking how to make a socket stone.. gee I don't know it's just like normal stone making, but in a different window.

I've read that before on Synx's website, but I'm not sure if he was referring to item mall stones that convert 11-12d have 100% chance or the plussing elixirs for 12d have 100% chance from item mall. I think it's the first one unless Joymax really wants money and don't care if everyone is running around with +15 weps since that's the cap???

The maximum + for 12D was +12. +15 was for 11D.

WTS Weapon with minus -9 34k

I know immortality set will be sun but i want to be sure about aet A

Yeah thats what I understand as well. Item mall item to have 100% chance of suceeding to transform 11d into 12d.

I read nothing so far about an item mall item to increase + on 12D item. I think you can only get it from drop.

It is not the same value , an A grade weapon and nova destruction set will turn to sun +0 , a B grade weapon and nova immortal set will turn to sun +3 .

A regular Nova will turn to som +0 , Som isn't as powerful as sosun .


@ Synx's post : You guys know he is trolling , Right ?
A +0 12D won't turn to -1 , it will stay at +0 when it fails .

Sounds more like you can buy the upgrader from the item mall for instant upgrade. I doubt the enhancers would be 100%. Just another quick option to obtain it instead of grinding 24/7 for it.

so now its a rush to get +7 on all items (and if you're getting immo set it'll be even harder).

so basically last cap = joymax reaches their limit of providing free to play game with maximum buy possibilities.

well buy now it doesn't matter, they figure if you developed a char to 110 & fully invested in items you wont just quit the game, you'd roll with it.

I can smell the words "Item mall" before I read all the paragraphs. Too typical

Well they only said it can be obtained through Item Mall. Nobody said that it will cost silk tho!






Problem?

Lol Item Mall has never been free.

Noone said that it is free either , It may not cost you silk but it will cost you a lot of gold .

update is next week??
