[Design Blog] About the Antignome Set

[VROOMIGoRealFast]

Hey Everyone! Vroom here, back from the future.

We’ve seen your feedback on the Antignome set and have re-evaluated its stats compared to the gear players are currently using and where we intend the set to sit on the power curve, resulting in the set receiving a major buff in power, as well as a decrease in the number of Glintstone Coins required to create the Unidentified Antignome Armor.

Players have questioned the reason the Antignome Set only applies in the Curse of the Cryostar Content. As we’ve mentioned before, we’re working hard to revamp the item progression for Arcane Legends to improve the playing experience for all players. Having sets restricted to specific areas allows us to create powerful, desirable items for specific content without negatively impacting our goals for item progression as well as other content in the game (PvP, previous dungeons, future expansions).

Some players have developed theories on the fact that the set is level 52. You may have guessed correctly! In the future there will be an upgrade to this set providing even greater benefits in the Curse of the Cryostar content. This upgraded set will follow the pattern of the Antignome Set in that most, but not all, pieces will be tradeable.

While these are not necessarily final stats, here’s what we’re currently thinking when we say “even greater benefits” for the upgraded set bonus:
+1500 health, +1500 mana, +700 armor, +45 primary stat, +50 damage, +100 STR, +100 DEX, +100 INT

But! And this is a major but! In order to obtain all the pieces of the upgraded set, you must be able to equip all 5 pieces of the Antignome Set.

See you later in secret features I can't talk about!
