Hi,

I am wearing a Ghost elemental armor (Yes with Ghostring Card).
And tested the damage received by normal attacks. But there seems to be no damage reduced.
It suppose to reduce 75% damage since it was a neutral attack.
Can anyone explain to me why?

Thanks

Ghostring doesn't work on non skill /non player attacks.

It doesn't? I'm not 100% since back then I couldn't afford it ... but back in 2003/2004 before all this Trans-stuff and renewal was implemented I'm pretty sure it worked PvM, didn't it?

[Xellie]

only on monster skills

are you on classic/renewal?

[Zauly]

(I'm not the OP btw)

I'm on Renewal ... just wondering which card to aim for on my FS AB and I used to think ghost was still the way to go. With being European and all and thus not being able to attend WoE I wanted it purely for PvM purposes. Guess Ares it will be then ... oh well.

If classic it only reduce dmg on monster skills as Xellie has mentioned. On Renewal it only reduce neutral dmg by 30% if I'm not mistaken.

It's 30% in renewal and works the same way vs monster regular attacks(it doesn't work)

Normal attacks from monster and homunculus are not effected by ghost armor, regardless of what server you are on. This has always been the case.

The physical melee attacks of monsters are non-elemental, which means that they aren't affected by elemental modifiers (they don't interact with elements). However, most items that are described as having the effect of reducing neutral damage also reduce non-elemental damage. This is why raydric card reduces the damage inflicted by the physical melee attacks of monsters.

Yes, it's quite confusing!

So practically, you mean that Ghostring card is useless because it does |Neutral| Elemental attack and there arent many monster who does that kind of elemental...

Earthquake, criticals from monsters, clashing spiral etc. It's not really a pvm card though, only mvp/woe/pvp

Thanks guys, i got a reply from Warpportal.

Greetings from the WarpPortal Support Team,

The Ghostring card's effects work as intended in PvP and on MvPs, however on most other cases such as PvM, the card's effects have been disabled.

If you have other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us again. Thank you!
