During the patch on the 13th, we will be adding in new weapons to the item mall.

These weapons are different than what you are use to for ROSE as they will progressively grow with your character as they level.
Each weapon is available at level 20, and will be a good leveling tool for players from 20 through a little over 100, depending on skills/stats and other bonuses they may aquire along the way.
Each weapon has been designed to be equal to a Grade 10 refined weapon of equal level.
Starting at level 20 and for every 9 levels your character levels up the weapon will get a bonus to ATTACK and ACCURACY.
The last bonus will be given when you reach Level 95, this should last you until 105 to 110 and at that point you can pick up one of the weapons in-game via the market or crafting.
These weapons are bound to the character that pulls it out of the Purchase Tab in the item mall.

You will not need to upgrade these weapon.

Here is the preview images of each weapon that will be available.

Here is a few of the weapons and their full tool tip. (I know its HUGE and we will work on that, but it gives you an idea of how you will see the item at level 20.)

In other words, if we have the +15 unique weapon, these item mall weapons won't be very useful.

These weapons are bound to the character that pulls it out of the Purchase Tab in the item mall.

booooooooooooooooo....... at least make it account bound instead of character bound. In addition, can we gift these weapon to the other accounts of ours when they are still in the Purchase Tab?

You will not need to upgrade these weapon.

we do not need to upgrade these weapon, but we can upgrade these weapons to make it stronger right?

The weapons do not look all that great. I would give them a 5 out of 10.

Bound to character and ends at 100? Sounds like absolute garbage.

[jmababa]

Id rather buy harden has same effects or the unique low lvl cause unique low lvl u can use up to 150+ the unique low lvl also that style of weapons ive seen it in Diablo 2 making weapons color gold

[maldini]

More like a collector item to me! A low lvl unique+15 With gem7 only cost u ard 400m to 700m.. U can use it from lvl 10 onwards till at least 15x!!! The current rate of Im points ard 65m per 100 points! Do the calculation urself

kthxbay

[Kitt]

Even though we do not need to upgrade these weapons, can we? Can they be hardened or drilled? And, they might be more enticing if, after the character is finished with it, it could be disassembled for something special, like Nepturunes, instead of basic Saturunes.

[TankJr]

recolored junk.

first time i have to agree this troll

this says all...!

[MistahDi]

How about being more creative? Besides they alread are in the game in diferent colours, these weapons can't be compared to the old IM ones. The bonus stats are great for people ho's leveling, but still.... put the old ones back please!!

[ThunderBug]

Unique weapons are better, and they should be, no complains about these weapons.
For these weapons all you have to do is buy some IM points, because of that, i'm glad they aren't better then Unique weapons.
Unique weapons are quite rare and expensive, so i'm very glad that people without a lot of money on rose, and without having to farm for hours to get the U weap they want, can buy these.

They look very nice as well

EDIT: You guys should turn on the reputation system at Calanor for these posts, keep the maintenance posts un-rateable, but make these rateable so you can also see if people like them or not.

"no need to upgrade", but possible?

[onizuk4]

omg release skill balance update not these IM crap, unique weapons are more powerfull!!

[LordArthas]

"no need to upgrade", but possible?

That's the first question that came to my mind (and looking at this thread, i see that many of us are wondering the same). If they can be refine to 15 like any weapon in game the ap on them would be pretty high (i would love to be able to compare it with the Uniques ap and see which one is best - there was a refine calculator somewhere in the old days, wasnt it?)and they would be desireable for sure.
That's actually my concern: how desireable these weapons will be. Looking at the screenshots and IF there's no possibility to refine them i would say only a new player would invest in those weapons. Anybody with some zulie would prefer the U with the right gem set to use them at low levels. But somehow i fail to understand why to make IM weapons and not make them very desireable by the majority of the rose population. From a merchandising point of view it doesnt make much sense. And we all know IM is made to milk the cow the max they can, oops i mean to help funding Rose developpement. So are these more like colector's items or will they make a huge difference and impact like most of the IM items do? I guess we will find out in a few hours.

Edit: it does say item grade: item mall. If there was no refining possibility it should say nothing at all no?
