Hello my friends and I were all talking about this and we thought it would be pretty cool to have Prince Rurik's Firey dragon sword or maybe his sheild. You fight Undead Prince Rurik in Hell's Precipice (for those who don't already know) and it could drop there. Also it would be so much easier to get a group for that misson. I was even thinking about suggesting this to NCSoft. More people would try to beat the game which I already have 3 times but more people would be playing the final misson as well. So if you were trying to beat the game and pick up a Prince Rurik green a long the way that would be cool. Let me know what you guys think and I'll keep checking on the forum

I never say no to greens but maybe this topic would belong under the suggestion section instead?

yes, it would be rather cool, now whammos could really follow his glory by weilding his sword, or even better... HIS SHEILD Woooooooooo encourge them..


but yeh, on a serious note, as good of an idea this is it's rather pointless because for one. it's to far out of the way, two, it'll be done over so many times because it's a mission, that people will farm it to death, and three, what would it be? his FDS? i mean come on.. :|

I think it's a great idea

I'm also of the belief that there should be some reward at the end of this mission or the Titan quests that is equivalent to the greens you get for defeating Shiro in Factions.

As for it being too far out of the way, what the hell are you on Ulivious? Scared you might actually have to do some WORK to farm a desirable green for once?!?
Some greens SHOULD be hard to acquire, it makes them all the more worth it.

Any easy to aquire green will be "farmed to death". But that just means it will be cheap to buy. I fail to see how this is a problem
Quote:

It would have to be a FDS skin for the sword, and the shield will have to have the same skin as it had when you fought him (I can't remember what it was). Since those skins already exist, that means the only things we need left are the stats and name for the sword and shield. We would have to keep them to items that already spawn in order to preserve game balance.

Maybe:
Prince Ruriks Sword
Fire damage (its a fiery dragon sword, no other prefix mod would fit)
+20% damage while under 50% hp (how many games have you played where your beating on some of the final bosses, its nearly dead, only to become more powerful that what it was when you first saw it)
of Charrslaying (Rurik hates the Charr)

Ruriks Shield
Strength based
Recieved damage -5 (20% chance) - IMO the worst damage reduction option for shields, but Rurik is an idiot while hes out ally, and doesn't get a chance to do anything dumb or smart while our enemy.
Health +45 while enchanted - He doesn't get enchanted, see above for why this fits.

lol perfect ^^
but yeah...i'd totally want those, cuz I am noob like that.

maybe make it req 8 to make it truly desirable? or give it the fds skin but give it something cool like a zealous mod to make it good? I'd totally rock a zealous fiery dragon sword.

Im all for it. You could get your war's to call their weapon before you depart and you know who to boot when you see:

"I'm Wielding A Prince Ruriks Sword"

I think it's a great idea too. Imagine it: "I'm wielding a Rurik's Fiery Dragon Sword and a Rurik's Bulwark." How good would that look . It may get farmed to death as you say, but that would make the price drop and it wouldnt make it that much different from most other greens out there atm anyway, the result would be an uber sword thats not ridiculously mega expensive. However, I can see it being so in the initial stages of its release if it did come out. On a final note, I'd love to see that being implemented, I would be out trying for one ASAP .

I'd like it to be...

Flaming Blade of Prince Rurik
Fire Dmg: 11-22 (Req. 9 Swordsmanship)
15% more damage (while enchanted)
Enchantments last 20% longer OR Armor +5 (Either one)

It'd be ideal for a Conjur Flame build with Mark of Rodgort.

SO basically. The mission will be filled with

Group LF monk only!

or something along those lines. which would make getting into a mission group just as hard and tedius. and when rurik doesnt drop a green, then the party members leave? Have you though all these angles out yet? Remember How Granite citadel was when the IDS was discovered? What about that night the Fake Terror Shield was said to have been found in UW?

As it stands now there aren't enough PUGs there for pugging to work. At the worst case this will last a few weeks, then things will die back down to current levels once the market is saturated with them.

Though people leaving after Rurik could be a problem for people wanting to complete the mission (are there any people still doing that who can't make usee of guild groups ?). Though having the Lich drop them instead would fix that if you add in some throwaway lines about the Lich having Ruriks weapons to explain it. That would also deal with loot stealers as you kill the lich, the mission ends, greens get placed right into the unclaimed items window.

15^50 or enchatned as u said
10/10 double adrenaline
+30hp

If it was furious then it would be useful...hardly Rurik style.

If you remove the firey prefix at all, then its gotta be a new 40%/5% Sundering

the charrslaying mod is fitting but that would make it SOOOO unwanted. I mean, you only fight charr during 1st missions and in the defend ascalon something mission. Better to have +30HP mod.

to make sure leavers arent in the group maybe add some necro weapons for the lich? and the mission doesent end right after u kill him like u have to talk to a seer or something that appears where near where the lich was to end the mission so u have time to pick up ur greens

it has to have REALY ood stats.....lol such as +15 while enchanted (MENDING LOL) and +7 armor vs Charr

honesly, i think that the elite "hundered blades" is already a good motivator, and the sword would be just selling for a few k in LA
