Description
Heroic Gear is net 6 stat (or in the case of two-handed weapons net 12), bonded, has magical-only AC, and can not be fixed by conventional means (including: repair, mend, trueform). The rent cost is competitive with existing net 5 equipment.
- Heroic gear is only available to characters with a minimum of 40 million regular (NOT era) experience points.
- Heroic gear costs 15 million regular experience points to acquire.
- In addition to the experience cost there may or may not be a gold cost, or a quest to complete for the gear.
- If there is a quest involved, it will be repeatable, though the cost (in experience points, and possibly gold) will also repeat.
- The AC bonus is NOT affected when heroic gear is damaged, it will retain the full AC bonus until the item scraps. For example, the boxing championship belt will always give -10AC whether it is in perfect condition, moderately damaged or falling apart, unless templated in the future due to stat issues.
- Due to the unique nature of heroic gear, any new heroic items added to the game will always be announced WITH the stats listed, possibly with hints on where to locate the new equipment.
- Every piece of heroic gear is templated, if something isn't working as intended then heroic gear could be subject to change - if we do change it, that will also be announced.
Hephaestus
- Hephaestus is a mob which repairs heroic gear up to four times for
3,750,000 experience per repair.
- Hephaestus will not consider repairing anything for you if you have less
than 28,750,000 experience points.
- Hephaestus will not consider repairing anything for you if it is not
falling apart.
Cap's patented hint: Hephaestus can only be found if you have a piece of heroic
gear. If you do not then you may find yourself succumbing to a deadly trap.
