Summary[]
Do you wish that ornaments did more than just look good? Well, the proc store is for you. This unique system on Imperium that allows you to add proc effects and stats to ornaments. They can be very powerful, but also cost a lot of money to unlock.
Types of Upgrades[]
The type of upgrade that you can apply depends on the type of your ornament. Weapon ornaments can have stats and proc effects. Secondary slot items can have stats and sympathetic effects. Armor ornaments can only have stats.
Sympathetic effects have a chance to proc when you cast a detrimental spell or heal. They can also trigger off the initial hit of a damage over time spell, but not on each tick.
Effect Tree[]
Before you can start adding effects your ornaments you must unlock them. For proc effects, talk to Maleficent (#zone guildlobby -111 189 0). For sympathetic effects talk to Smemorina (#zone guildlobby -111 166 0).
When you talk to either npc you'll get a choice of effects to unlock. Unlocking certain effects will open others to be unlocked. Each unlock costs 1,000,000 pp and you can only unlock an effect once every 18 hours. Each effect can be unlocked up to rank 12.
Unlocked Lifetap requires that you unlock rank 1 of Direct Healing, Heal Over Time, DD Fire, DD Ice, and DD Magic. Unlocking AoE requires you unlocking all other effects first.
The fully unlocked effect tree looks like this.
Applying Effects[]
To apply an effect to an ornament you must talk to one of the fairies in the Guild Lobby.
- Fauna (
#zone guildlobby -148 166 0) - offhand ornaments - Flora (
#zone guildlobby -165, 168, 0) - armor ornaments - Merryweather (
#zone guildlobby) - weapon ornaments
The general process to add stats and effects to an ornament is listed below. Be aware that you can't get your upgraded ornament until after the next server reboot (on Sunday), so you usually want to do this process right before the reboot.
- Give your ornament to the appropriate fairy
- Select "stats menu" to see a list of all the stats you can add
- Choose at least one stat other than proc/focus. If you want to add a proc/focus, that is at the bottom of the stats menu. You have limited number of points to spend on stats and each stat also costs a certain amount of pp.
- If you don't want to apply the changes, click discard to get your ornament back
- Click finalize to move to the next step
- The fairy will ask you for the pp to pay for the upgrade. Give her the money to finalize your order
- Wait until after the reboot
- Talk to the fairy and click reclaim to get the ornament back with the stats.
You can replace a previously applied effect with a new one. You can only have one effect on an item.
Stats Menu[]
The stats menu is shown in the image below. If you were adding effects to a shield the "proc" at the bottom would say "focus" and allow you to add sympathetic effects.
Limitations[]
Some of these were mentioned above, but remember the following when upgrading ornaments:
- You can only upgrade one of each type of ornament (weapon, armor, offhand) each week
- You will be able to get your upgraded ornament back only after the server reboots on Sunday.
- You can unlock a new effect every 18 hours (each unlock costing 1 million pp)
- Armor ornaments can only have stats added to them, not effects
- Sympathetic effects are for secondary items
- Proc effects are for weapons (primary and secondary)
- You can replace a previously applied effect with a new one. You can only have one effect on an item.
