Dragon Cloak
Contents
Dragon Cloak
This item is crafted by tailors, there are a few requirements needed for crafting the cloak. The skill required for making it is Tailoring 100-175. The higher the skill, the better the base cloak.
Using a runic sewing kit increases the chances of making a better cloak. There is a display in Serpents Hold that shows the 4 types of base cloaks that can be crafted. These were made with no runics. If you want to see the display of the "perfect" set of cloaks made with runics, you can look at the display in the donation room in Trinsic.
Ingredients
The ingredients to craft the base cloak are:
- 12 Leather or Hides,
- 50 black dragon scales,
- 1 captured essence, and
- 10 corruption.
Stages
This item increases power in stages (1-4) The cloak has stats that can be seen when you mouse-over the item and keeps track of your progress
- Stage 0/4
- Points 0/500
- Ancient 0/6
- Gem 0/7
- Unique 0/2
Dragonic Elixer
You will need to soak the cloak in this magical fluid before it can go from one stage to the next. You will get a message when it is needed. The elixer is crafted by alchemists, skill needed 100-150
Ingredients needed to create the potion:
- 1 dragon blood and
- 5 blackrock
Points and Advancement
These cloaks require a specific amount of points to advance between stages. The dragon cloak gains a point by killing certain dragon type creatures that do not serve other masters (No Champs, no summoned, no tamed, no animated etc). The % chance for points and number of points is determined by the difficulty of the creature killed and your luck.
Once you have obtained the number of points to advance a stage the cloak will no longer gain points until it is soaked with the Dragonic Elixer (see below). With each stage the cloak will increase in properties until it reaches stage 4 and the quest is complete.
Advice from Tiberius
Killing the top rare dragon types does make a difference in the end result
If you only kill top dragons it will take you a long time to finish the cloak but will yield top results. The main thing to focus on is only kill the specific type of rare dragons depending on how you want the cloak to finish.
If you want the main skill on the cloak to be:
- Swords - kill Greater dragons
- Necro - kill Ancient Skeletal dragons
- Mage - kill Ancient wyrms
- Stealing - kill Shadow Wyrms
These dragons will dictate which final cloak you get. All other rare dragons are fair game, and certain special/unique dragons may have an effect on final resistances.
Quests
In addition to the points, there are a series of quests you can pursue, which must be completed prior to stage 4. The quests will add new abilities to your cloak that will be revealed when it reaches stage 4. Whenever you slay one of the Unique/Named creatures (Ex. Gem Dragons, Ancients, Spirilix, Magi, etc)that are among the quests you will receive a message stating you have unlocked one of the secrets. There are some Unique Dragon Bosses you can kill that will actually increase a cloak's property immediately without reaching stage 4.
For Example: Rikktor awards a fire resist bonus (you will have to learn what each dragon bonus is)
Once your cloak reaches stage 4 the magic will reveal all of the accomplishments that you have achieved while wearing it. Based upon what you killed and the difficulty of those creatures, some of the skills might be +10, those that take upon the most challenging beasts can be rewarded with skill bonuses as high as +20. There are also 4 different types of cloaks: warrior, mage, thief and necromancer.
Important: Everything you do while wearing the cloak is used to determine the results of the cloak at stage 4.
Note: The cloaks are socketable, but...only a completed cloak can be socketed!
Note: There are many versions of this cloak that can be made. By using runic sewing kits, having high skill level and high luck will make the stats vary. Also note that depending on the type of dragons you kill to complete the cloak, can alter the final type/stats.
