Legendary shield (oh what a pain it will be)
Posted: Sat May 28, 2016 6:03 pm
First I must preface this with the following: I plan to build a large cave network system infested with monsters and dragons that will (hopefully) be added near Nor once it is complete. The idea is as follows
Bastion of Light
This shield is a holy relic passed down through the centuries by the religion of light. The wielder is extremely difficult to kill, and able to take more damage than a normal person.
Stats: -10AC, -2AD, +25BC, +2DR, +10HP
Method of acquiring: In order to get this item you need to kill a legendary creature, the Great Wyrm of Darkness. I won't post stats at the moment but expect it to be sufficiently ridiculous that people might really wish grinding was an alternative.
For those following Nor city the dragon also has a quest available. This is for the Tower of Darkness, the Nor city equal to the above shield (i.e. same stats). It is a massive, difficult, time consuming quest that involves wiping out the guard units in a lot of the towns and facing guard groups as the player. If the player attempts to rest before the mission is complete it resets and everything must be done again (like I said this is supposed to be difficult). The final battle will be against the Captain of the Feyguard and two lieutenants, which will be slightly less strong combined than the legendary dragon. They will still be an extremely difficult encounter to overcome.
Alternatively it could simply be two grind mobs in the area for these legendary items and the Great Wyrm could be used for alternative quests for Nor declared individuals. Most likely elder dragons of some flavor and dragon knights.
Thoughts on the shield and acquisition method?
