Drops from: Queen Bee (The Hive) ThON0a5

Note: A staff with a slightly faster Rate of Fire than normal, to make up for the non-maxed DEX of newer players, paired with 4 shots that travel very quickly. This makes it easy for newer players to land hits on enemies that tend to jerk a lot. It also teaches them the difference between tiered staves and untiered ones as the damage falls a lot below tiered staves as enemy defense increases. It’s completely outclassed by T10 and above given that its only purpose as an item is to introduce STs to newer players and make their life a little easier.

Drops from: Mixcoatl the Masked God (Forbidden Jungle) ThON0a5

Note: An interesting spell with shots that don’t collide with obstacles. This is especially useful from lowlands to highlands where theres a ton of trees in the way. It’s wave-like pattern, slower shot speed and higher shot count makes it great and easy to hit a lot of enemies.

magerobe

Tier: ST
On Equip: +30 HP, +70 MP, +3 DEF
Fame Bonus: 1%
Feed Power: 90

Drops from: Arachna the Spider Queen (Spider Den) ThON0a5

Apprentice Wizard Set:
2 Pieces: +5 SPD
3 Pieces: +2 DEF, +5 SPD
Full Set: +20 HP, +30 MP, +50 VIT, +50 WIS
Total: +50 HP, +100 MP, +0 ATT, +15 DEF, +10 SPD, +0 DEX, +55 VIT, +55 WIS

This ST set is only really relevant in the earlier stages of the game due to being completely outclassed later on. It is tinkered to make the life of new players who gather this whole ST set, easier by offering a decent amount of DEF, some SPD for their unmaxed characters, some MP to be able to cast more times, some HP for survivability and 55 VIT/WIS to make up for the fact that they lack a decent pet. This should make them able to regenerate HP/MP a little faster.
All in all, the set offers a good amount of survivability stats and easy to use weapons, giving them more confidence into trying harder stuff and get accustomed to the game. It also serves as a short term goal for newbies as they don’t really have anything to achieve other than “get good” to be able to do harder dungeons for whites, which can take quite a while, especially with no pets.

Additional Notes

Supposedly this set has a 16x16 Skin but since i can’t imagine what it would look like, nor am I a good sprite maker (I already have some trouble with 8x8 sometimes so I can’t even imagine doing 16x16), I didn’t make one for the set. Just imagine it exists and that it looks somewhat cool.

Also, for anyone wanting to see how the staff/spell work, here are the XML so you can test them in Pfiffel’s calculator.
(On second thought, I won’t put them here because they get destroyed by the formatting of the document. If you know how i can link them or something of the sort, please do tell me)

Wow, I reallly appreciate how much dedication got into this just for new players. I hope something like that will be implemented, I don’t see any flaw in it, it just seems perfect!
