Each pigment drops from a specific mob in the world, and a stack of 5 pigments can be crafted into a dye using Alchemy, and Alchemy Mastery. In line with their vision of shaping Darkfall: Unholy Wars into the greatest sandbox game on the market, Aventerine has released an the armor dye system in the April 29th patch.įor those who are not familiar with it, the custom armor dyes consist of 30 individual colors pigments. įor latest updated check the spreadsheet here: įor years, Darkfall players have been asking for armor dyes to set themselves apart in the world of Agon and customize appearance. Special thanks to Suicide Sheep for creating this spreadsheet.ĭon't forget to check Suicide Sheep's Darkfall video collection in Youtube. This becomes specially difficult for new and casual players because they need to choose to invest prowess (XP) between "buying spells to get stronger and useful" or "buy crafting abilities to craft good armor and weapons". Before player can make mastery level gear, they have to purchase these "crafting abilities" which requires player spent prowess or "Experience Points" in traditional MMO terms. It is a massive task to gather many types of basic materials, rare essences to make refined materials which are then used for making mastery level weapon and gear. Therefore crafting is fundamental and very important for all players.Ĭrafting is also a very difficult to level (skill up to make higher tier gear) because it requires players to craft hundreds of items.

On top of that it is a full loot PvP game so if you lost in a fight, you enemy will gank you and take everything you carry with your (anything kept in the bank is safe). Also there are no repair system, so eventually all gear durability will reach zero and break (disappears) as you use them. Unlike other MMORPG mobs or boss will not drop any weapon or armor that player can wear. In Darkfall every single armor and weapon above junk level (R00) are player crafted. Killing higher end mobs as a mage was also a challenge due to low resistance where damage/survivability didn’t scale compared (past tense) to a Skirm/Warrior.Īventurine (AV) the maker of Darkfall have finally decided to remove all class and armor restrictions! For example, those who chose (past tense) to be a prime had a difficult time killing mobs as a healer. The current class system also impacted PvE because certain classes had a big disadvantage. Realistically, balancing so many spells/skills, 4 classes, 3 school customization, with 4 types of armor in 4 tiers with 8 types of weapon of 4 different tiers is not possible( to balance remove this)given the number of permutation and combination involved. Each offensive and defensive skill needed a counter move by 3 other opposing classes, and the impact of each spell/ability needed to have damage based on who is on the other end. The class based system served its purpose because it defined a strict role for people, however, balancing it became increasingly difficult. For example, a warrior had to equip plate and a one hand/two hand melee weapon to execute most skills. Different skill and spells were bound to a particular weapon. There were also restrictions in place on which class can wear what type of armor or use what type of weapon effectively. (NOTE: Each of the 4 classes were further specialized using a system known as ‘schools’. Beside common skills, all other skills/spell were specialized and only usable by 1 class/school combination. These role included melee heavy Warrior (Tank), high mobile and range based attacker know as Skirmisher, a spell damage dealer known as Elementalist and finally a healing class known as Primalist. Darkfall Unholy Wars was launched on April 2013 with a character development system that followed traditional role based system.
