For Your Viewing Pleasure (... Or Viewing Pain)

Is everyone eating their hearts out?
Mmm... I love the Ice/Frost weapon range (above). They look the fiercest. No joke. Have yet to try out the Fire range (below).If you've noticed, my BattleMage is using one of the Flora staffs. BattleMagi get the spear-staffs of course. The Wizards gets the tamer-looking ones. (Okay, I'm calling it Flora staff, cos "Plant" staff just sounds WRONG.)

Except mine is glowing because I painstakingly enchanted it to +6. Now I can't bear to switch to higher-level staffs because it would mean having to start Refining (the term for enchantment in Dragonica) ALL over again. All those failed attempts.... *sob*

Credits go to Cos和彦who released these on the Chinese Dragonica forum.

Makes your fingers itch, dunnit?
This is just a teeny portion of the item range, available already on alpha-servers. My adrenaline starts pumping every time I think of the beta-range and what new things they may include.

NOTE: Item level requirements may be different in the English version.
(The baseball caps, tortoise-shell backpacks, feathered head bands, etc featured for the Chinese CBT will only be available on the beta servers.)

Pain :(

Just wondering though. Are there lots of fashion items, or is it a standard "all level XX people look the same"?

Hi lien,

Can we say "fashion with stats"? LOL. Why stop at one?

Good point though. I get what you mean about item equip-requirements making people of similar levels look the same.

Dragonica is already expected to have a large range because we know expressing your own style is part of the fun. We also want seasonal updates so you never run out of new stuff to try.

But I'll definitely bring up your concern and see if the developers can increase customization options (we've already suggested "dye" cards that can turn your sword a color of your choice, as just one example) without level requirements.

Hehe thanks. A game with characters this adorable is just screaming for creative minds to decorate them. Kinda like with Ragnarok Online, except everyone only looked different from the head up :( (I soooo wanted to dress my Assassin in a cutesy dress for the fun of it...)

If the whole idea really comes through, I'll have to start worrying about the price of the items but it'll be worth it anyway. So good luck to you guys at IAHGames '_'b

yyeesss please have as much customizations as possible.
one of the reasons i quit my favorite MMO (scions of fate ) pretty much every one around the same level looked the same...
i loved the MMO and it was the one i played the most but after a while it just looked way too bland for me...
hopefully this will be my new favorite game and has a lot of customization.

i would also like to see some pop culture references... but thats just a plus really :D
