Change to Pocket Legends Elite Vanity Item Set Bonuses – Introducing Legendary Rings

[Nihiliste]

I'm going to let this issue rest and see what happens.

I hate myself LOL. Only have CoP.

Idk, I think those who've put in the time and effort to earn the vanities deserve the new ring bonuses... in addition, the dragon vanities also proves one's dedication to the game (it's no easy feat getting the dragons to drop) and as such those who earn them ought to be allowed the bonuses. I've always been a fan of this system (even when getting owned by those with the original vanities), if we dumb it down and make all equal for everyone what's the point in doing all the lvling and spending all the plat. History has already shown us how well socialism works out, though it's a great idea in theory.

I have three vanities and cant get ring of glory. 61 shield, 71 helm & 76 shield. Is this a glitch?

You need to have them equipped to get the ring. Since you have two shields, i think you may be stuck at 2 since you cant equip two shields at once.

I think its funny how i barely see anyone wearing the cop soh mfa set recently hahaha

I know I am late to give my opinion on this matter... But changing the ability to stack vanity bonuses with platinum ring bonuses is not right.
When dragon vanities were released, I thought it was a nice option for characters who didn't have elite vanities to get a bonus. Especially when the new humania helm did not combine with the old elite vanities. I thought this was wrong, and everyone should be able to build a 3 set bonus. But the fact is you could either use dragon vanities and a ring, or elite vanities and a ring.
I think it was a great decision to have all elite vanities, past and future, count toward an elite ring that gives the same sparkle effect and stats. It is great to not force everyone to look the same. The problem is, now the platinum purchased rings, do not stack with these hard to earn vanity rings.
In my opinion the right thing to do is... Have the normal platinum rings stay the same, and there should have been a vanity ring slot added, where either elite vanity, or dragon vanity rings, can be equiped. You have to choose between them, just like how it was originally.
The dragon ring can give the fire out of the face effect and the elite can give the sparkles. Or you can wear one of the rings for stats, and also wear the other actual vanity pieces to achieve both effects.
I understand this creates a problem with how to make the dragon rings, since they are tradeable and very valuble. I don't have an answer for that, except being able to stack sparkle/fire out of mouth effects. Maybe once u create the dragon ring, those two pieces become untradeable/unstashable. Just like elite vanities.

This is a pertinent post. Be looking for an update on Dragon vanity item set bonuses SOON!!!!

[Nihiliste]

I heard the ring for dragon will be stackable with the elite ring. If this is true, really what's the point? If its not, its fine.

[serulean]

this is quite a fail post, lol. bad logic everywhere.

first, if the mages so OP, you should have lost 5-0. not won 5-4 (nice backhand compliment of urself; that comment had no relevance to whatever point u were trying to make).

second, the mage in the str set dodged a lot because the str set has tons of dodge. the same exact set/dodge which you benefit from. what do you expect? lol.

third, the mages received no stacking "dodge" bonus. i thought you kind of knew what was going on in the land of pvp but obviiously not...keep practicing so u can move up the ranks to a second tier beh3.

Sigh...

Make a ring for dragon users, please.. I just came out of a 3v3 CTF in Rockwall. The opposite team had 3 mages, all in Blue Dragon Sets, using Elite rings, (two peice and three peice) and one in a strength set. Do you have any idea how OP and annoying they were? The game BARELY ended with a score of 5-4(our team winning). It took 3 bears to win the game...sad. Now you might say, "Dude, its three mages, constant revive and healing". That's not the point. The point is the dodge that they get from stacking bonuses. Especially the one in the strength set. Very annoying.

Make a ring. And before you people say "Go farm a dragon set", I will.

[Nihiliste]

Good job quoting me on a post that's three weeks old. Contradicted yourself.

First of all, +1 for hiding behind a new account. Second, do some research about me because you obviously don't know me. I am one of the best end-game bears there is, if not one of the last few there are. Anyone who knows me can vouch. Thirdly, you're telling me to move up the ranks? Like I said do your research, lol. Last, I realize its clearly the imbalancement of end-game, I'm over it. Don't come here disrespecting me acting like you know more than me, lmao.

Good jobbb

Just disable vanity bonuses in PvP and CtF maps, and all will be fixed ._.

For those of you who read the thread What do the items in this picture have in common? and guessed, "elite level cap items" you are correct!

If the below wall of text is a bit intimidating, jump to the end of the post for the quick recap. If you love the details, read on!

Background:
In the days of yore, when Balefort Sewers was the level cap, the concept of an "elite" level was introduced. This elite level was 10x the experience cost of the last level and it rewarded players with bragging rights (oh, and there was much bragging!) and the very awesome Crown of Persistence vanity helm.

Level 56 - The Crown of Persistence
Attachment 18277

When the Nuri's Circus expansion went live, we continued the tradition with a new "elite" level of 61 with a vanity reward: the Shield of Hallows. To make the elite level cap vanity items more desirable, we added a unique set bonus. Those who wore the Crown of Persistence and also wore the Shield of Hallows had a set bonus that would stack on top of the set bonus for wearing the top end armor, helm and weapon.

Level 61 - Nuri's Shield of Hallows
Attachment 18279

This was indeed very compelling for players to acquire; however, not everything in the land of Alterra was perfect. There were problems, including:

• There was no way to go back and acquire the Crown of Persistence. That elite level was long gone. This penalized new players.
• Everyone started to look the same, as everyone was wearing their elite level cap vanities. There are thousands of awesome looking items in Pocket Legends and it was a shame that more didn't sport unique looks.

Level 66 - Mount Fang Armor
Attachment 18280

Elite Level Cap Rewards Evolved
For a while now we have wanted to change how the elite level cap works and find a different, but equally compelling, reward for players achieving the elite level.

In the Humania expansion, we refrained from adding a set bonus to the Monarch Helm vanity reward for making level 71. Instead, we chose to add unique content with end game items that could only be entered if you were at the elite level cap. This change seemed to be pretty well received.

Level 71 - The Monarch Helm of Humania
Attachment 18281

Yet, the problems persist.

Two Legendary Rings to Rule Them All!
To address the above two problems, we are making a shift. Instead of having stats tied to vanities (which sort of defeats the point of vanities) we're implementing a system whereby players can obtain an uber, epic legendary ring!

With the Blacksmoke Mountain Expansion, when you equip any two or any three Elite Level Cap Vanity Rewards, you will automatically receive a quest to visit the Fallen Prince who will bestow a very precious ring!

Attachment 18284

2 Elite Vanity Ring Reward
Attachment 18285

3 Elite Vanity Ring Reward
Attachment 18286

The stats for the rings are a nice bump up over what you might have obtained by having the previous 2 or 3 piece elite vanity set bonus and any previously available rings.


A New Shield for Level 76
The Elite Vanity Reward for achieving level 76 in Blacksmoke Mountain will be the Vanity Shield: Eye of Eternity. You can match this shield up with any of the previous helm elite vanity rewards and/or the Mount Fang Armor to obtain the 2 set ring or 3 set ring.

Level 76 - Eye of Eternity
Attachment 18288

Going forward, we plan to continue adding elite level cap vanity rewards. The next one for level 81 (the expansion coming after Blacksmoke Mountain) should be a vanity armor. That way, anyone playing currently can work toward obtaining these legendary rings.

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

Too Long, Didn't Read
Here is a quick list of bullets that recap the above:

• Set bonuses from Elite Level Cap Vanity Rewards are going away.
• They are replaced by Legendary Rings
• To get the quest for your Legendary Ring, equip any of the Elite Level Cap Vanity Rewards just like you were going to get your set bonus (helm, armor, shield) and you'll automagically get a quest for the appropriate ring.
• If you don't have an elite level cap vanity shield, make it to level 76 in Blacksmoke Mountain and you'll get the Eye of Eternity. This vanity shield can be used with prior elite level cap vanity helm and armor to get the 2 or 3 piece ring.
• The Elite Vanity Rings are not stashable or tradeable.

[Techno Email]

You need to wear two or three elite level cap vanities at once to get a valiant ring.

[TEOKILLO]

What happens if you have two different elite vanity helms or shield and one armor?

[Techno Email]

If you can wear 2 elite level cap vanity items, you get the two item bonus. If you can wear 3, you get the 3 item bonus, just like the old vanity bonus.
