Composition, Gem, And Socket Faq

13lack-Omen · 07-23-2004, 19:05

In addition to my guide on Mets/Dbs, I'd like to add this, to help the rest of the newbs who have questions.

Composing

FAQ

Q: What is composing?

A: Composing is the art of making an Item +1, +2, +3, etc and So On until +9.

Q: That sounds.. ermm.. Cool. What does it do?

A: For each level you compose an item, it gains extra stats.

For example:

A club gains damage and accuracy
A ring gains damage
A tao robe gains Def and Mdef
A Coronet Gains Defense
A Necklace gains defense and health.
Etc, Etc.

Q: I found a +1 weapon, but it gave only like 5 additional damage. Why would I waste 2 mil for 5 damage?

A: The higher the quality, level and composition of an item, the more it gives. For example at higher levels +1 could around 100+ damage in stats, which translates to nearly 300 in the game.

Q: Is there any downside?

A: Well, technically no. But the obvious is that it costs a decent sum of money, and also it (to me, not confirmed) makes it a little harder to upgrade.

But, with the time saved by the improvements, you could go to metzone and get mets.

Levels of Composition

Composition starts at +1, and goes all the way up to +9.

Here I'll start with basic knowledge. To + an Item, you MUST have 2 +# Items of the same number as the base item. For example, If I had a +3, and I wanted to make it +4, I need 2 +3s along with the main +3 item to make it +3.

Remember that the item has to be of the same class, like, 1 hand weapon, necklace, dex ring, attack ring, coronet, etcetera. Level 120 armour and headpieces are incompatible with equipment that has requirements under those of the +1 item.

Also note that an item cannot be upgraded by an item of a higher quality:
Example: If You're upgrading your refined 2 socket club with a normal +1 1 hander and a unique +1 1 hander the system will not accept the unique one. The items used to upgrade the main item must be lower in quality than the main item.

The main item must always go into the big box, and the two items being USED to upgrade WILL disappear, and are placed in the 2 smaller boxes.

You can make a +1 normal +2, and etcetera. Thats how you get the items being used to upgrading.

+1: 2 +1s of the same class and the item you wish to make +1

+2: 2 +1s of the same class and a +1 you wish to make +2

This is where it gets expensive.
+3: 2 +2s of the same class and a +2 you wish to make +3

+4: 2 +3s of the same class and a +3 you wish to make +4.

+5: 2 +4s of the same class and a +4 you wish to make +5

This is where it gets complicated:

+6: 2 +5s of the same class and a +5 you wish to make +6. 2 Gems Also

Nobody has ever made it this far (Besides FeiChangDao with a +6 BS.. GO FEI!!), but after this, It goes by gems.

After this, you use gems in addition to +# items to upgrade the main item.

You need additional 2 gems to upgrade a weapon, and 1 gem additional to upgrade armour. That's basically farther than it's likely for anyone to ever get, but whatever.. I hope you found this part useful.

GEMS

FAQ

Q: What is a gem?

A: You can find gems while mining. They add additional bonuses to your equipment/stats.

Q: Why is a gem different from ore?

A: Currently, ores can only be used for selling and quests. Gems are used to make your equipment and stats better.

Q: How do I get a gem?

A: You must be level 15 to mine a gem. First, buy a pickaxe from the storekeeper in twin city. Then, go to mine cave from the conductress, and into the blue warp. Right click on the ground. Bear in mind different mines have different gems and requirements. This is just to start out.

Q: Will I find gems if I mine a lot?

A: If you're lucky you can find 10 gems in a minute, if you're unlucky you could find 0 in a year.

Q: What different types of gems are there?

A: There are quite a few different types of gems. And Qualities. I'll go through it later in the faq.

Q: Do gems sell for a lot of money?

A; Most gems sell for a handsome sum of cash. Judge wisely before you use them.

Types of Gems

There are 3 qualities to all gems. Normal, Refined or Super.

Please Note, all prices are for Dragon Server and are approximate. Everything else is the same

Normal is the most common, least beneficial and cheapest type.

Refined is in between

Super is the best type and is usually very expensive.

SOCKETS

FAQ

Q: What is a socket?

A: A socket is a part of a piece of equipment used for slotting gems. An item can have 2 sockets max, 0 sockets minimum.

Q: How can I get a socket?

A: Luckily in Twin City/Market Upgrading with dbs, or ArtisanOu in Bird Island for 1 Dbs First Socket (failable) and 5 Dbs second socket (must have first socket already, guaranteed). ArtisanOu is WEAPON ONLY.

Q: How do I put a gem in a socket?

A: There is an artisan by the guards near the east exit of phoenix castle, near the warehouse. He sockets, and removes gems.

That basically wraps it up. Any questions should be PMed to me, or sent to 13lack-Omen on game.
PS: Any mods who wish to sticky this can go right ahead.

wrong section...?

IlikePIE · 07-23-2004, 19:15

You've been helping lots now Black, but this Thread should be in Newcome forum. I'll move it for you when I realize how to, rofl.

IlikePIE · 07-23-2004, 19:29

Moved and stickies, both of your FAQs.

Dac Vin · 07-23-2004, 19:35

Something wrong with your FAQ: IIRC you STILL need +# items after +6 (or +5); the only diff is that you need 2 gems with the +# stuff. I'll try to find the post about this...

EDIT: http://bbs.conqueronline.com/showthr...threadid=16526

EDIT2: Yes, i'm annoying

But for the violet gems prices, you use (kk) instead of ((M). Not really big, but i'm perfectionist!

LifeInfusion · 07-24-2004, 17:59

I think you are drunk or you are on drugs. (no offense)
Pheonix gems are not 25k for normals XD

Also, rainbow gems and kylin gems can't be found in the level 15 mine.

wanna bet?

CHromius · 07-27-2004, 04:30

Is it possible to upgrade a gem with a dragonball (like it is with a weapon or armor)? If so, normal phoenix gems might be so worthless.

13lack-Omen · 07-27-2004, 11:11

Hello, Cromius that would be quite the stupid thing to implement, because some super gems are worth a good 40 mil more than refined, and dbs are 2 mill only

Yun_Li · 07-27-2004, 18:31

hohoooo...if db can upgrade gem quality...everyone will be very rich...

Hildor · 07-29-2004, 23:29

Hi, can anyone tell me if it is possible to remove gems from socket item? will u be able to see what type of gem the item is socket with?

Tama · 07-30-2004, 13:05

Just to make sure.. Its not possible to upgrade my elite bsword with this +1 poleaxe and this +1 Glaive?

Freedom · 07-31-2004, 20:49

hildor: yes, u can remove gems from a soc and if u hav two u can choose which one u want gone. This guy in pheonix castle can do that....sry i don't remember who he is lol

Tama: no, +1 one handed weapons must be used only for one handed and those two weapons u stated are 2 handed

hope that helps
