+1. rogues gets the arcane items, and the mythic helm = the old usual helm we have now. anyways im not happy with the fact that only rogues can get arcane weapon, so a much powerful weapon when they need a weaker one. for pvp especially... we'll get many more threads about that once we all get kicked by rogues..

btw the helm is battle of tactics things. ... ..

My guess is the mythic and arcane items will only be a tiny bit better than the pink ones, but they will have more visual effects, so it will be a status symbol more than anything else. Plus they will give the achievements.

Mythic helms for warrior and sorcerer look the same. Why mythic helm for rogue is different, It is a favor? :P

Cool hope its just like hammer jaw the rate to get the arcane items.

You'll know a Mythic item, because it will have an red color to its name, while an Arcane item will have a golden orange color name.

Aren't the colors of mythic and arcane switched?

so we have the option of actually farming chests for months to find a mythic item??
im getting one!
tired of farming kills to climb LB with nothing to show for it, wasting millions of gold..hehe
cause you know `not everyone has plat! (::

**Tilax** · 02-20-2013, 06:59 AM

Wait you say that the Arcane Weapons for rouges is only available for 21+ or is it any level cause Im thinking that what if a Level 10 rouge gets one from the watch crates is that possible and how about the mythic helm does the same rule apply?

**Fefferi** · 02-20-2013, 07:08 AM

How 'bout some pirate vanity stuff? :>

**rjspyro** · 02-20-2013, 08:16 AM

Having seen recent new items. its a disappointment seeing them with lower stats than item before them.

we hope with this "rarity" comes with exceptional stats for the said items. (like any stats of the highest items of the current available items is no match to these mythic and arcane items)

im not sure but the first of its kind that has been released (hammerjaw) failed to show its rarity factor.

**Chaokaban** · 02-20-2013, 08:29 AM

Who knows what stat the new warrior mask is good in?

**AtariX** · 02-20-2013, 08:29 AM

You should adjust the drop chance from the crates compared to elite gold pirate chest. I thinks it's not fair to players who don't have money for plat. I completly understand, that you need some sort of income and that this is a very nice way to have one, but not fair at all, cause you give people who buy plat a HUGE advantage.

Also, I am very sorry to say it Sam, but those helmets don't look good at all. I am looking for some Star Wars vanities or new pets to save the game right now.

**Chaokaban** · 02-20-2013, 08:31 AM

Can't wait to try out the mythic and arcane stuff!

**Khylan** · 02-20-2013, 09:03 AM

who cares what the mythic and arcane armor items look like? It's the stats that matter! Don't like the look, wear vanities!

**Mysticaleagle** · 02-20-2013, 09:26 AM

Would love to have a sneak peek on the new vanities, and ESPECIALLY the monkey pet. I honestly hope we can get the monkey with Platinum, because a monkey = my favourite animal. Their just perfect!

PS: A undead monkey, or a black monkey with red glowing eyes, would rock the place!

**chitgoks** · 02-20-2013, 09:33 AM

platinum's okay. at least make it affordable. 250 plat is overkill lol

**Vystirch** · 02-20-2013, 10:04 AM

Ok they look decent. The rarity lvls are awesome! But really they look like demonlord :/ I was picturing gear more along the lines of..... Maybe fallen from heaven or came down from a alien race by meteors and astroids...... This looks like demonlord :/ I want an extremely good looking set of armor. I don't been have a demonlord set for looks, because I think they are ugly :/ but meh we will see where this goes.

**yoho** · 02-20-2013, 10:08 AM

one mythic helm in expansion? one arcane weapon only for rogues? Guys, I believe you are much more capable..
At least one mythic set (with jewelry n weapon) n one arcane set - for all classes

Also, I do believe that if you get an Arcane or Mythic item, it will unlock the achievement, even if you can't equip it. I will have to confirm when I get back in to the office tomorrow.

You know that would mess things up a bit? As soon as someone in a guild gets an arcane item, they will be able to just pass it around and unlock achievements for everyone... Defeating the purpose a little bit. If not, then this is a super-duper-rogue-favoring update, which however awesome the items are I cannot really be happy for... I do hope that the new rogue only arcane weapon will not have super high stats, or this will lead to quite an outrage...

That is a good point, they would be able to pass the item around. Also I don't think rogues will be OP with this update, I doubt there will be many people with it.
