Are we ever going to get some new weapon sprites? I spent a ton of money on my Alca Bringer and my Hunting Spear,
I just wish they looked different that the noob weapons you start with. Is a weapon sprite update a possibility?
Or am I just dreaming for something that will never come.. PLEASE for the love of god, make some new weapon sprites..

[Beyond]

katars please and fix the gunslinger weapon sprites at least.

[Aralyne]

I concur; I want my Battle AB's Grand Cross to actually look like a cross and not an unsightly club with spikes sticking out of the end of it, same with her Veteran Hammer too. I wouldn't mind if that actually looked like a hammer

[slammusubi]

I support this, although it does sound like it's not going to be just simple to put 50+ new weapon sprites but at least make our awesome weapons look different from a regular weapon. A good way to pick which weapons to make sprites for is a poll/vote I guess ^^

[Seiken7]

I say BIG Yes for this, more weapon sprites PLEASE PLEASE!

[Kadelia]

Something that has been requested for years... sadly...

[slammusubi]

How about a contest for writing weapon sprite scripts ^0^

[Quazera]

This issue bugs me too~

Then again, there is the issue with the whole "hides my gears, hide my secrets" ordeal. Even though it bugs the HELL out of me that a Mjolnir looks like a spikey mace, if it had a sprite then that person in WoE would be gunned down like an AB~ lol, j/k, more than usual~

For other weapons i really dont see much of an effect...it's not like you can see the cards you compounded onto it and i guess the only way it'd be annoying is if you equip an elemental weapon (but who uses those now adaysO____O?), talking about the ones that are naturally elemental, not forged ones.

Anyways, i know the GM's are really busy and have their reasons for not doing these sort of updates, but how about 901432 years into the future~? just wanna know IS IT POSSIBLE?

KRO sprite department got lazy/too infatuated with making hats. I was very surprised twin edge/violet fear weapons had a unique sprite.

Actually as far as I recall, there hasn't been any new weapon/shield sprites put in the game outside those three weapons since the company sold out to stay afloat. All the original weapons in the game have there own sprite more or less.

[bitbucket]

Since they first put in weapon/shield sprites years ago, there's been fewer than a dozen added since.

It was a good idea that just got abandoned, and with all the new items added to the game since then, they'll never catch up now.

This could actually work since if gravity people don't want to make them then why don't make the players do it

[Scott]

Every item doesn't need custom sprites, just the ones from 12.1 and above, in my opinion.

[Maka]

I want new weapon sprites too. But they have to be good. If they replace the old and are awful not worth it. RO needs a real overhaul on certain graphical things.

[Krispin]

KRO sprite department got lazy/too infatuated with making hats. I was very surprised twin edge/violet fear weapons had a unique sprite.

I believe the reason for these weapons is because they really wanted to put a weapon in the game that was actually considered useful that WASN'T a four slotted lv1 weapon, since they were created back then and all.
The result was a weapon that, while pretty good, was too hard to get multiple of to card for multiple enemies and really favored agi knights more than anything with the auto proc skills and effects.

In a twist of irony though its one of the best rune knight weapon now because weapon attack actually matters now, which it has a ton of, going for aspd without ruining your other stats is possible and 100int being a standard now makes the auto spells actually do damage.

[Daize]

We should get some community designed ones and vote for them, since there probably aren't any new official weapon sprites to get from kRO. It really doesn't take much to replace a few sprites, so if we can get some talented people to make a few interesting sprites, maybe the GMs will agree to put them in!

[CheddarJack]

Stuff like this has been requested for years...and nothing has happened, so im not getting my hopes up. But Katars need upgrading as do a bunch of other stuff like maces.

[CeruleanGamer]

We need new weapon sprites especially on Staves and Rods. No love for mage class lately.

[TheSquishy]

I would be more than willing to participate in a community driven event. Free labor?

I say starting with lvl 4 Rods and Maces would be a good place. These weapons have
signfigantly fewer unique sprites than other weapons.

[Iboo]

If they can't even be bothered to design a decent sprite for Mjolnir, I honestly don't see them making an effort on other weaps.

[Agahim]

i don't think new weapon sprites for older weapons are very likely. it's just alot of work, especially compared to headgears.
a headgear sprite is the same for male and female and all classes (i think the only exception are the goggles). for a weapon sprite you need to make different views and angles for male/female and depending on the weapon class for like 15 different classes.

headgear: 5 angles (+ 3 mirrored ones), 1 for dead characters.

weapon: 2 angles for fighting stance, +a couple for attacking animation * number of classes who can equip the weapon *2 (for each gender).

that's alot of work for "a little favour" for the community. i do not think gravity or whoever will put so much effort into such "minor" things.

[Remy85]

Sorry for bringing up an old topic, but I just got a alca Bringer. I attacked somethings and I don't see the sprite for it anymore. I thought it was one of the only weapons you could actually see the sprite for, and now I can't? wtf

[Pooru]

heres something how about a community event where people can take the sprite sheet per classes and actually sprite out the weaponry then have the gravity team present them to kRO in hopes of implementing them
