Is this the reason why Nexon won't release the Secret crystals? - Random_Overlord - 2010-09-24

I've been thinking about this for some time, why nexon doesn't choose to release any information on how to make the secret crystals or if they havent been released yet.

Then I though about what they do, their main purpose is to be used in the maker skill which many people know already. Their main effect is to lower the Level requirment for any item made by 1 ~ 3 levels similar to the high-five stamps.

But then I though about what impact on the game they would have, and since they look like a Stat crystal, I could only assume that a dark crystal can be used in conjunction with it in the maker skill.

If they were to however release this item into the game we could very well see people taking advantage of this by chancing dark crystals + Secret crystals into getting the positive results rather than the negative results of -3 levels in order to get lv 121 ~ lv 123 reversed equipments to get the 12% potentials.

Such a thing could ruin the game even more, and that any new item content for the future might as well be flushed down the toilet because this item was released to the public so that other newer items that they may decide to release into the game in the future may be useless.

Just a conspiracy theory I thought of. Monocle

But it does make sense no?

The only thing I can think of is a much deserved expansion on to the Maker system. With everything getting revamped, it's only a matter of time.

Edit: Seriously doubt Dark Crystals would change level requirement even with Secret Crystals.

I don't think Secret Crystals had any purpose to begin with, they seemed to be placeholders for something else. Not lowering or extending level limit.

Secret Crystal has an item description that explicitly states they lower the level requirements.

Anyway the idea of using dark crystals to raise level requirements is a stupid assumption with no basis in fact since that's not even how dark crystals work anyway.

Speaking of this, I've been wondering why it wasn't released too.
It was in the description of Item Maker since it's release.

is it even confirmed lvl 121+ items give a higher stat boost?

I thought maker equips only give one line: one 12% < one 9% + two 6% (or even one 9% + one 6%)

Yes. Don't have a ss with me, but the data says it, and there are screenies of elewands/vip weapons with +4%/8%/12% boosts rather than +3%/6%/9%
