That's interesting!!!

*Please be nice hats, please be nice hats!!!

BTW: Damage term doesn't means the number of hits per second???

Too bad Summons aren't yet ready. Guess we'll see those in a week or two.

damage term, for me that is how the damage is aplied, like melee, magic or special, maybe they will change the skill damage for PW from magic to physic since it does neutral damage and looks like stave crusher who is reduced by def.while maybe poison buster became like AD and the more vit the target have more damage it would receive since in theory the more vit you have more deadly became the poison (normaly poison revert the natural recovery, since it would spread faster).
ex of diferent terms: SG is magic, stave is melee/ranged and graviton is special.

since racial are not working for magic damage (the full damage), maybe in the future they decide to make all neutral atack be reduced by def(since there is no -15% neutral damage for shields). who knows.

just hope these new 3rd hat are somewhat usefull for some things and not all of then, it would be bad if all hat that we use today goes uselees when 3rd.

login event?

Poison Buster

• Fixed casting portion was removed.
• Instead of damaging just one target, the skill damages targets in an area.

wow.. nice patch, I hope that the new hats are cool ^^!

Well, unless they do an emergency patch on thursday or friday, it will be at least another week to see something about the summons.

Oh, what? That was temporary?
...I wonder if it's going to be the same on iRO.

By the way, HATS! That's nice. I hope we get that awesome Minstrel hat. Oh boy.

Well, if the effect is nice.. this will be awesome!!

And the wanderer hat is soo cuuteee!! *o*

I think Gravity watched to much Reborn before finding an idea for the Shura headgear

And the RG hat looks like an ugly version of the Lich King in Warcraft

OMG mistrel hat!! *drools* wonder what effects they have, I just hope they aren't class exclusives would like to see my Wanderer using the minstrel hat for some reason :P

On a side note the stat slot was an event? I thought it was an addition o.o

the little crown should be for genectis, and double driver band just a typo.
cant wait to see the effects, and i got the feeling that the gx gear will be the best.. for being low/midle slot.

Supposedly if the third one from the bottom is actually RG's headgear. It would take all 3 headslots. It's also as ugly as hell.

My guess is that these gears don't do anything much aside from fitting with the class's sprites. In short it's just to make you look cool.

BTW, the reason there are 2 driver bands is because Male mechanics wear red and female mechs wear yellow.

This appears to be the distribution of headgears for classes. It seems that the file is no longer on FTP, so we will have to wait until maintenance time to find out what they do.

1.- If have a slot.. i'm happy...

2...
The RG helm remembered me this...

Spoiler Alert:

So.. that helm... + banding = mmm

THIS IS SPARTA!!!! (?)

lol at sniper instead of ranger, and the little crown dont have much to do with shadow chaser... maybe it match the purple pantyhose of female SC D:

The Minstrel Hat is pure fanservice..../fsh

Fancervice or not, Ministrel hat was too cool to let only npcs to have it, Sorcerer's hat adds to the overall etnic look of the class but for males it may be kind of , the Ranger hat resembles the Ratian gunner's armor hat from Monster Hunter.

Maybe the hats of the Rune Knight and the Royal Guard should be switched, and too the biochemist's and Shadow Chacer's ones, but that's only my taste.

The sorcerer hat looks so ugly.... Sorc's are now sunflowers or odd looking lions.
