The date now finally hits us, October 3rd, 2011. One day after Metin2 SG's second year anniversary, and the day where Metin2 SG players are now able to equip, craft, fight and fawn over a number of much anticipated updates.

These are the Epic Armors, to be known as Aqua Armors on SG, epic boots, and the Aqua Dragon, known as Beran-Setaou to other players.


Aqua Armors

The Metin2 SG staff have decided to go in a slightly different direction with their Aqua Armors. Whereas the original versions of these armors on YMIR's Metin2 KR feature a built in HP Regeneration bonus (something that Gameforge followed with their own implementation), the Aqua Armors to be found on Metin2 SG instead feature Demi-Human Resistance. Demi-human essentially means other player characters. 10% Demi-Human increases damage against Suras, Warriors, Mages and Assassins, and in some cases some human-like monsters. Likewise, Resistance to Demi-Human reduces damage taken from these sources. Metin2 SG players also won't be hampered by any movement speed reduction. The resulting table of statistics is like so:


Other things remained unchanged, such as the requirement of Aqua Dragon Scales and Aqua Dragon Claws in order to craft the Aqua Armors from Level 66+9 armors:



Aqua Dragon


Of course, with the introduction of the new armors, the dragon makes an arrival too. Its home is at the end of the second floor of Heaven's Lair. For those adventurous enough, here is a map:


At the end of the second floor, players will encounter a Sura Ghost NPC. This NPC will ask for 3 Dragon God Symbols in order to enter the Aqua Dragon's Lair. These Dragon God Symbols can be dropped from Zin Heavens Generals. Note that every player entering the lair will require symbols, so some serious farming must be done in order for a large party to enter. The initial player may also set a numeric password, in order to control who else may enter and help or ruin their dragon run. The server assumes that guilds will try this together; players in the same guild are able to enter right away, provided they have the dragon god symbols.


Once inside, players will be set upon by a hoarde of Heaven's Lair monsters, along with the Aqua Dragon itself. They will also find a number of metins in the room. Each "run" on the dragon can last up to an hour, and stragglers are given 5 minutes after a run starts to join in.


The purpose of the metins was a mystery for some time, as Gameforge didn't reveal their use following their implementation of the dragon at the beginning of this year; players instead had to figure it out for themselves. Each type of metin corresponds to a certain strength of the Aqua Dragon, and destroying metins will reduce its strength in that area. These metin types are:

- Metin of Vengeance: Increases Aqua Dragon's Attack Power
- Metin of Mountain: Increases Aqua Dragon's Defence
- Metin of Solitude: Increases Aqua Dragon's HP Regeneration Rate
- Metin of Arrogance: Increases Aqua Dragon's HP Regeneration Amount per Heal

Epic Boots

Last but not least, epic boots are now available on Metin2 SG. Level 47, 51, 55 and 59 boots can be crafted into epic boots when at +9. The epic boots don't receive additional stats, rather their build in stats continue to increase as they are upgraded. This allows for a maximum of 20% skill speed, 20% chance to flee arrow attacks, 20% block attack or +20 AC. The boots, like Aqua Armors, require Aqua Dragon Claws and Aqua Dragon Scales to upgrade:

very nice:P but the lvl 59 boots and epic version are useless...... they should have changed the stats on those boots, maybe strong against bonus on the boots...

#9 • by S4Life, October 03, 2011, 10:59:54 AM

FruitPunch, I made a suggestion to change them on our forums =.= but I don't know if they considered it. Yes your right, the boots should give at least 100 AC 9+ and 200 AC+ at epic 9+ to have some use lol.

@S4life yes but you dont need ac at highlevel right:P maybe they can make it strong against monster bonus like 10 or 15% at epic+9 or so >.> but only the epic version then xD not the normal version ^^ anyways congratz sg very nice updates =O

#11 • by S4Life, October 03, 2011, 04:12:23 PM

fail it should have hp regenerate

---

#13 • by elonoic, October 05, 2011, 05:49:28 AM

is not a fail, 'cause hp regen is the most useless stat in the game as it only fully works if you're not moving. so i guess you can't consider it a fail when they actually improved something lol

---

#14 • by xXxLaZeRxXx, October 05, 2011, 06:02:52 AM

if we got it with hp reg 1. I would keep my 66+9 as it is 2. Would quit foreveq since there wouldnt be new chalenge

lazer i think he means the boots xd the boots really should have an unique stat on it because they are maybe the last boots you can wear... maybe vs monster bonus or demi human:O

#16 • by NightStalker, October 05, 2011, 07:36:49 AM

boots should give better ac yea, ut i'd say max 120ac

Aswome update!!

---

#17 • by Vexido, October 05, 2011, 08:45:40 AM

fps i think he thought on armours :p , bcz otherwise he wouldnt mention hp regeneration in his post

i would increase only speed on those 59lvl shoes , 100ac on +9 would mean more def than can helm on +9 have , which would be kinda strange bcz helm is armour and shoes are accesories

but ac is uselles on highlevel then the shoes still remain a bit usseless.... it should have an epic stat because it is the highest level boots
