Crimson Weapons

So for awhile I've identified two smaller issues the server has had. One is a lack of generalist options for players who don't have the time to grind for cards in every single weapon and class they play, and the second is the need for interesting and desireable items that are exciting at Old Glast Heim's party maps. Since OGH released with players expressing that the drops were lackluster, I ultimately settled on hitting two birds with one stone by putting Crimson Weapons as drops into Old Glast Heim. But fear not, they are not only for party enjoyers, you will still be able to acquire them solo(and in a reasonable amount of time), you will just have to work a little bit more and get them less frequently than if you were partying.

So what are Crimson weapons? For those of you familiar with renewal, they are weapons that get stronger the more you refine them. They've been adjusted here as our refines stop at +10 so their cap is softer, but the idea is very similar. Unlike in renewal, where they come with slots on them, they will be entirely unslotted and instead the refines will also dictate your damage bonus to all enemies making them great general options. These were hand tested by myself on every single one vs the best in slot option, so they should be competitive. Remember, since they are generalist options they will not be as strong as best in slot weapons, especially those best in slot weapons that have near perfect rolls. But a BIS weapon that has the "right" rolls (read: 2nd/3rd options are right rolls but maybe lower to mid values for their range) then these weapons will all be pretty close (about 15-25% less damage overall)

Crimson Weapons also do not roll the normal table of random options that most weapons do and have their own table. In this table you'll see they have the ability to roll a random element, they can be indestructible, they have defensive options and more. We ultimately decided to include some normal types of options like Attack Speed and Hit, but these are also different from the normal values you'd see in the table. For more information on that look below.

You can craft these at the inside location near the bottom right of Old Glast Heim (glast_02) Picture is below:

Once you've arrived (inside ogh_in2) simply talk to Aiko like you do all our other crafting NPCs like Nathaniel at Niflheim or Mrs Button at Aldebaran. Here you'll see the requirements to craft the weapons.

Crimson Weapon Options

As mentioned before Crimson weapons have their own random options table that is different from the normal table. This is mostly utility/defensive based, but we did throw in a few standard ones so players have something to fall back on. Note that there is no % damage options and no raw attack, stats, or magic attack options, and that's intended. These are balanced around their base damage at +10 with the bonuses you get from refining them. Without any % damage options at all they are already close to best in slot! This means you should feel good regardless of what you have, but there are utility based options for those looking to get more out of the weapons or make something unique.
