Neo Armors Enchantment

Overview:
Neo Armors is a term used to refer to the hypermart items which has Neo as a prefix in their name. These are specially created gears that have better bonus compared to their counter part gears but only lasts for a week. They are all in box form when purchased and you must open it in order to use the item. pRO made it extra special by allowing players to have it enchanted with desired stats. Do note that this is only available on a limited time.

Zeny
  • Must have 1 million zeny per equipment

Conditions:
After the event duration all Neo Armors that are not in box form will be deleted regardless of the date you opened the item in box form. As observed during the event period all Neo Items which can be enchanted had their price increase tremendously.

How to Enchant:
On it's initial release, Neo Enchanter is located in Prontera City. From Prontera spawn point just walk downwards a little. He is standing near a stall.

On the succeeding release, Neo Enchanter was transferred to the Premium Hypermart/Odin Hypermart. This  means that adventurers who availed the premium service can enchant their Neo items.

Equip the Neo item you would like to Enchant. Talk to Neo Enchanter and tell him that you want to enchant your Neo items. He'll then let you select from your equipped items which among them you'd like to enchant.

You will then choose your first enchantment. The first enchantment is +5 on a selected stat. It could be any of the following STR+5, AGI+5, VIT+5, INT+5, DEX+5 and LUK+5. The second enchantment has the same options as the first enchantment.

Comments:
The Neo enchantment is a very game breaking event of pRO that I loved. There are a lot of possible stat combination but most players are going for VIT+5, VIT+5 and HP+500. It is simply because we are after survivability in WOE. It feels like we are wearing a Tao Gunka Card while running around. Most damage skills are now bearable unless it was named Hellgate, Extremity Fist, Dragon Breath or Suicidal Destruction. However, Hellgate, Dragon Breath and Suicidal Destruction have an indirect boost from this event too so survival is threatened once again.

Frankly speaking only those who have hoarded Neo Valkfreja, Neo Muffler and Neo Skull Ring were the main beneficiaries of this event. Why? Because during the event the prices of the said items on the Hypermart were increased tremendously that you will have a second thought on buying one. Those who hoarded obviously purchased the items at a lower price.

If this event will have comebacks, I hope the GMs will somewhat revise the enchantments in a way that it will not be that game breaking. Maybe reduce the additional stats to +2 or +3 and the third stat to somewhat mediocre increase. That way having all the neo items equipped will not significantly increase the durability of players and will not significantly increase the killing power of Hellgate, Dragon Breath and Suicidal Destruction. This will make the enchantment a nice to have but not required. However the GMs decided to just place the NPC in the Odin Hypermart to somehow lessen the accessibility of the said service.
