Add a Nerfed Horntail's Ab T-Shirt

Look at these pristine set of 5 pack!

Name: Horntail’s Ab T-Shirt
ID: 1042243

https://maplelegends.com/lib/equip?id=01042243

Now, imagine that it's NOT overpowered:

version 1: still too strong

Spoiler

EDIT:
version 2: nerfed a bit more

Spoiler

-- in between lvl100 tops and lvl150 Timeless/Reverse
-- an optional gear with roughly the same base stats as non-perf lvl80-100 tops
-- wont make perfect lvl80-100 tops obsolete, just another option

EDIT:
version3: nerfed a lot more

1. Increased the Stats and Level Requirements
2. Nerfed the base stats and def/mdef more
3. Non-tradable
4. Drops only in Horntail at a reasonable rate.
   
5. Replace Mana Elixir drops with the T-Shirt
6. DEF/MDEF formula is being reworked
   
   (ML is a customized server, and i the staff's hard work and considerations!!!)

Note: Timeless and Reverse gears are a whole lot stronger than this by a wide margin after upgrading.

Thanks!

 

I saw that too. In particular this T-Shirt would be only mildly beneficial for most classes whom are in transition towards obtaining their Timeless/Reverse Gear.

Also that's why maybe a higher level requirement could be better than it's original level 115, since maybe a level 130 requirement is far away enough from level 80-100 gears and Timeless/Reverse gears level 150.

This high level requirement of level 130 seems to be appropriate for the stats the T-Shirt provides. Unless a higher level requirement of level 140 could be better?

//---------------------------------------------------------------------//
As for defense:

Average Range of DEF level 80-100 = roughly about 80

Average Range of DEF level 130 = We can assume roughly 120 is okay to have. Except for it's MDEF.

- How about if it has less DEF/MDEF? Maybe around 90WDEF and 90MDEF instead?

Average Range of DEF level 150 = roughly about 130

Reverse Taragon: Weapon Def: 196 (186 - 206)

As for the basic stats of Equipment of lower level gears:

Unless people want a little bit more options for other stats... since if they want to attack harder and get cheaper perfect gear, then it's as easy as farming level 80-100 gears like everyone usually does.

Thief

Purple Osfa: https://maplelegends.com/lib/equip?id=01040117

Also, Thief will still need high DEX 150 due to the Dragon Khanjar shield requirements. The stats requirements won't matter too much. Since Osfa Topwear is only DEX 130 which is less than 150.

Stat Requirements:

Would 30/30/30/30 requirement for the Horntail's Ab T-Shirt be feasible?

Since Egged Horntail Necklace gives +20/20/20/20:




//---------------------------------------------------------------------//


I guess... in what other ways could make this T-Shirt be potentially good to go as a drop?



I think with a few more fixes and changes, it's stats and requirements could be pretty balanced.

Or is this version too nerfed or still too buff?

 

EDIT:

Spoiler: variants of the t-shirts may not work

Something like this?

Is the scaling for the different versions are using 4 (3-5), this okay?

-- Or would 5 (4-6) be better for the different versions?

-- This is if different versions would make the T-Shirt more feasible or not?

Spoiler: str

Spoiler: dex

Spoiler: int

Spoiler: luk

Yes/No on different versions... or is the basic nerfed version better?

Note:

Targa has no HP, but Scarlion does have HP... only a little bit.

After reading everyone's thoughts and making edits accordingly...

I think Horntail's Ab T-Shirt is a viable and balanced topwear alternative, before everyone gets their Timeless/Reverse Overalls.


Horntail's Ab T-Shirt stats can roughly the same as non-perfect lvl80-100 topwears (only the DEF/MDEF are slightly better), this gives another option for gearing.

Also, it'd still be viable to farm perfect topwear equipment drops rather than going to HT.


Here's a side-by-side comparison with overalls and topwears in the lvl80-100 range:

- Overall 10% scrolls are +5 stats, and Topwear 10% scrolls are +3 stats





B > AFK Horntail's Ab T-Shirt!

 

I've been thinking, especially everyone's good insights with the amount of stats for a top, and survivability in general.

• People didn't want such High All Stat Equips --> so I further reduced it

• People said the the DEF/MDEF is too high --> so I reduced it further, since the DEF reformulation is coming out and ultimately its up to how the formula will be remade.

• People didn't like how easy it is to equip --> so I added Stats Requirements

With the new road map for Defense reworking, maybe Horntail Abs T-Shirt can actually become a reality!
