Tainted and Pure

[Renatus]

These are the two names we've decided on for the dark and light, good and bad, heaven and hell sides. Cerby is in the process of typing up a nice long quest line for both sides, which I'll be going over once he's done, then we can tell you some of the details for.

Our main way of approaching this is that Tainted will be the "bad" side and therefore will be more of an attack based side. The Pure side will obviously be the "good" side and therefore be more of a defence based side.

Both sides will have their own caves (yes plural ) and own advantages. I'm hoping Prov can give some more details on it, but he briefly mentioned an idea from his old server, that was mainly used for RB, but can also be used for Tainted/Pure.

You collected items (like a RedThread for example) from bosses, some of which were a low drop chance from RB mobs, when used together at the RB Craft NPC you could do various things with them, the two main ones being to create basic kit (we can then modify this as well as for Pure/Tainted, in addition to it's own sets) and to make a kind of super orb that would add various stats. As Tainted is attack based, the Tainted side would get a TaintedOrb, which would add (for example), 4-4 sc/mc/dc, whereas the Pure side would get a PureOrb, which would add 3-3 ac/amc.

Another small thing we want to do is give each side the ability to craft their side of the gems/orbs (no other way will be possible). Meaning Tainted can craft acc/slow/dc/mc/sc. Pure can craft ac/amc/agil/pr/mr.

Oh and wings that you'd be able to purchase for some kind of point system (probably GP, possibly something else though, not sure in all honesty ^^) after getting so far in to quest chain, which would show your side (colour) clearly.

Any additional ideas feel free to post them, I've typed more than enough for one thread.

just a cpl o Q's.

1. can i assume we will be able to sell the orbs our class ( tainted / pure ) can make?

2. we wont be able to make orbs at all unless we choose a side right?

very good idea tbh

Yeah they will work just like dropped orbs, but only the specific side can make them, we may well change this slightly though and have the main Tainted/Pure quest line at 200 (RB) and then add in some seriously hefty tasks to do a further (smaller) quest line at 300 (RB) to be able to create the orbs.

Actually I'm liking this, when Cerby's about we'll discuss the idea of the main quest line for T/P being repeatable at a cost for people who wish to swap. Then we have further quest lines down the road to gain you additional benefits (main one will give you a nice set, I shall say no more!), like your own side's cave, making orbs etc.

2. Correct. ^^

Good news and bad news. Bad news is I'm not allowed to tell you everything (I think Cerby and Prov will be displeased that I've said as much as I have ), but I can tell you a fair bit, I think, heh. ^^

We've changed the Tainted/Pure quest line, to shorten it a bit and limit what you gain, there will be further quests as you level up (off the top of my head, something like main quest at 200, then again at 300/350/400/450/480/500 will be further advancements).

• Most (probably all) of those will unlock a new version of the old cave, or a new floor, in either case it will be new mobs for you with better exp.
• Roughly half of them will unlock stronger versions of previous items (there's more to that than I've said ).
• You'll be able to reset your side and start over, we'll probably add a mini quest line to this, but the current idea is a cost in GG/QP (yes you would need to do any of the 'expansion' quests to regain your old gains, from the new side).
• Advanced versions of previous skills (can't say any more than that I'm afraid).
• The ability to craft gems/orbs (the higher your level, the more quests available to complete, which unlock better versions of each).

That's the majority of what we have so far, there's a few other things which I've commented on above as well as one or two complete surprises waiting for you, if you strongly like/dislike anything, comments/feedback is what makes something good, in to something great.

How did I know you'd tell them more than you should of, you big softy, lol. -_-

At least you managed to keep some things back, a few surprises left to be discovered, just don't post them before people find them, it really will ruin it. ><

Ah the wings idea sounds well good, maybe also have some kind of thing to show your like level kind of thing so if you get like different shades of colours for example

Tainted
Level 100-yellow coloured wings
Level 200-yellow/orange coloured wings
Level 300-orange coloured wings
Level 400-orange/red coloured wings
Level 500-red coloured wings

or have more range with the wings ending up black

Level 100-yellow coloured wings
Level 200-orange coloured wings
Level 300-red coloured wings
Level 400-purple coloured wings
Level 500-black coloured wings

Pure
Level 100-dark blue coloured wings
Level 200-green coloured wings
Level 300-pink(maybe) coloured wings
Level 400-light blue coloured wings
Level 500-white coloured wings

I'm not sure if you could change the colours of the wings but if you could that would be cool!
If not then maybe something else to like stand out a bit so you can look at someone and think (yeah hes high level) without having to see the level of his kit.

Anyway you can ignore this all if you want I'm just throwing ideas at you muahahhahahaha

Pretty sure wing colour is easy as pie to change, if so then yeah sounds like a good idea, makes people stand out a bit more. ^^
