-Gambit 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2010 I don't know about you guys, but I havent been to hb usa for a while. Had a look at the site & forums yesterday and found that they had gotten some really cool new updates. EK and contri exchange: If hunting monsters isn't really your thing and killing people in game is, there is now another way to upgrade your items. This time it's using your Enemy Kill (EK) points and Contribution Points! When you claim the items, they will be bound to your character so that only you can use them. Just like your hero items. Note: When upgrading your items, they will loose any previous upgrades obtained by Xelima or Merien Stones. You can now upgrade your armor and your weapons! Armor Upgrades Requirements and other information * Items will be bound to the person claiming the upgrade * Item must be of the same stat (EG: MP to upgrade MP) "No Stat" armor can not be upgraded Shields Upgrade Stat Item EK's Cont Limit 7% DR/MP/HP/MR Shield 75 100 77% Hauberks & Hose Upgrade Stat Item EK's Cont Limit 7% MR/DR Hauberk & Hose 100 100 49% 7% MP/HP Hauberk & Hose 150 100 56% Chest & Helms Upgrade Stat Item EK's Cont Limit 7% MR/DR Chest & Helm 200 150 49% 7% MP/HP Chest & Helm 250 150 56% Capes Upgrade Stat Item EK's Cont Limit 7% MR/DR Cape 250 250 35% 7% MP/HP Cape 300 300 28% Sub Stat Upgrade Stat Item EK's Cont Limit 1% Crit/ Mana Con Hauberk & Hose 150 100 5% 1% Crit/Mana Con Chest & Helm 250 150 4% 1% Crit/Mana Con Cape 300 300 3% Weapon Upgrades Requirements and other information * Level 180 * At least 2 existing Hero Items * Items will be bound to the person claiming the upgrade * Item must be of the same stat (EG: Rep to upgrade Rep) "No Stat" can only be upgraded to EXP or Gold * Ancient weapons can not be upgraded Weapons (Including Wands where applicable) Upgrade EK's Cont Limit Notes +7% Hitting Prob 250 250 42% Inc Wands.

Feel free to continue and play your as normal once submitting the request. Upgrades will be given in 1 lot, please do not request multiple upgrades for the 1 item. Unique items and blacksmith / shop items can not be upgraded. Scav hunt. [ links to upgradeable items etc: link1: http://www.helbreathusa.com/events-tokenEx...Scav-Tokens.php link2: http://www.helbreathusa.com/events-tokenEx...-Exchange01.php link3: http://www.helbreathusa.com/events-tokenEx...-Exchange02.php ] It's back! There are a few changes with the scavenger hunts this time. In order to claim any upgrades you need to have Scav Tokens. You can get Scav Tokens by exchanging the correct parts with a Game Master. This time round you can only exchange in "full", for example 100 Werewolf Leathers would get you 1 Gold Scav Token. Trying to exchange 58 Werewolf Claws would get you nothing. Also, you can only upgrade the item if it is equal to the existing main stats percent or higher than. This means that your 7% PR Chain cn be side graded to 7% HP with the corrisponding items, it cant be made in to a 49% HP Chain. While your 56% PR Chain can be decreased to 49% HP with the corrisponding tokens. Portal tokens [ link to portal tokens quests: http://www.helbreathusa.com/quest-list.php ]: Specific monsters in Abaddon now qualify for quests that give you Portal Tokens as a reward. These tokens can be used to trade in for unique items. Both the items and tokens are tradable. Below is a list of items and the current exchange rate for Portal Tokens. Please note, the Portal Tokens are only obtained as a quest reward. Make sure you're on the quest prior to leaving to go on a hunt. See here for a list of Portal Token Quests. Token Amount Item 3000 The Devastator 3000 Berserk Wand (MS20) 1500 Giant Battle Hammer 1500 Berserk Wand (MS10) 1100 Xelima Ring 1000 Xelima Blade 950 Scroll: Ice Storm 850 Xelima Rapier 850 Xelima Axe 750 Ring of Arc Mage 750 Elemental Necklaces (Ice) 500 Scroll: Mass Fire Strike 500 Scroll: Bloody Shock Wave 450 Elemental Necklaces (Efreet or Air) 400 Resurrection Wand (MS10) 400 MS30 Wand (LLF) 350 Ring of Demon Power 350 Ring of Grand Mage 200 Ice Sword 150 Protection Necklaces (Ice, Fire or Air) 100 Ring of Ogre Power 100 Blood Sword 50 Blood Rapier 50 Blood Axe Mysterious tokens: What are they? The Mysterious Tokens are an item that now drops in place of the Composite Bow. They are dropped from a handful of monsters, mainly the Werewolf and Dark Elves. You now have a chance to exchange the Mysterious Tokens for item creation and character upgrades! What can you claim? Create a PR / SP item of choice claim table Item & Upgrade # Tokens for upgrade Tokens to create 7% PR / SP Endu 35% 15 to be created 15 to create* 14% PR / SP Endu 35% 15 to upgrade to (from 7%) 30 to create* 21% PR / SP Endu 35% 15 to upgrade to (from 14%) 45 to create* 28% PR / SP Endu 35% 20 to upgrade to (from 21%) 65 to create* 35% PR / SP Endu 35% 20 to upgrade to (from 28%) 85 to create* 42% PR / SP Endu 35% 25 to upgrade to (from 35%) 110 to create* 49% PR / SP Endu 35% 25 to upgrade to (from 42%) 135 to create* 56% PR / SP Endu 35% 25 to upgrade to (from 49%) 160 to create* * Item is of choice (plate mail, leather, chain, hauberk & chain hose).

Anyways, this is what I found. I think these updates are absolutely AWESOME and benefit the game in many ways: 1) This would grant pvpers a lot more to do with their eks then just collect them to stay in top ek list. 2) Having alternative ways to get rares would probably enliven the pvp a lot. 3) Im almost certain that applying this kind of huge update would get us new players and maby even a few old ones back. I know this kind of updates are a LOT of work etc, but I really think this should be considered. What do you guys think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
