8. Fixed an issue with abnormal stat increase/decrease when using stat-augmenting equipments.
9. Fixed various typos.
1. Looks like stance rings for all stances, including veteran and expert stances, can be produced. (Obviously I didn't bother searching for every single stance.) The crafting cost varies according to the stance and level.
For example, an Arnis Stance Ring requires:-
Stance Rings for lower level stances require the relevant skill rings and the same type but lower amount of the additional materials. What's amazing is that no cash shop items and no rare recipe farming are required. Although bear in mind this is in beta, so material costs may change in the future. In any case, it's a good idea to start collecting skill rings of the stances you want from now on.
The Advanced Stance Rings are chippable stance rings. As with Stance Ring crafting, the upgrading costs for Advanced Stance Rings varies according to level.
For example, an Advanced Low Guard Ring requires:-
Higher level rings require Triumph Fillers instead instead of Soul Crystals. Lower level rings require Mystery Powders instead of Soul Crystals. (Again, I didn't check for every single stance.) The amount of Ring Crystals and Magic Stones required also vary according to ring level. Once upgraded, the Advanced Stance Rings can be chipped with +HP, +SP, specific damage type reduction, and +stat options. Expert stance rings require Veteran Chips, veteran stance rings require lvl100 Chips, and the rest of the lower level rings seem to require lvl96 Chips throughout.
Symbol of Ancient Brave Warrior can be obtained from the repeatable Rhodolite farming quest in Errac. Magic Stone can be purchased from the Auch Alchemist NPC.
