9 Dragons News & Events & Guides

Yes, that's right, you guessed it. The items you find and carry will change your stats, and some of their effects are temporary, while others are permanent. A precious ring that raises your dexterity, an amulet that triples your strength, a blessed sword that cannot be damaged, or a cursed saber with an effect you must deduce...

Items can give you an edge in battle, right down to a strand of prayer beads a Shaolin monk might carry that raises his dodge rate, or a blessed hairpin that a Sacred Flower assassin might wear that raises her chance for divine intervention toward a critical hit.

If you are to become such a master, then you too must be prepared to pay attention to these details. You may have honed your Kung Fu through training, but if you have not researched your items then you may find out the hard way how much more there is to learn. If you come up against an opponent with a masterpiece sword (one that belonged to a hero of old) then your Kung Fu skills will likely not be enough. Worse still, you could meet someone with an inherited artifact. Items so rare that they confer tremendous power to their wielders (though the price in Vital Energy to wield them may be equally high). If you are prepared to travel and search, that wielder could be you. The items are there waiting, calling out to those who seek them.

In 9 dragons gold  there are countless items for you to encounter, scattered throughout The Land. Even the clothes you wear will make a difference. Some of them have hidden pockets into which you can place magical artifacts that enhance your stats. There are books to be read that can automatically teach you some Kung Fu, herbs that can heal your wounds, antidotes for poisons, and special elixirs that once consumed can permanently raise your stats... or lower them, so beware. Many special treasures can be found in hidden chests that must be opened with special keys. Use the wrong key and you could destroy what lies inside. Use the right keys and you are granted items of the rarest sort.

You will discover in 9 dragons gold  that many items can enhance your life and abilities, but the real value is to be found in the rare, the precious and the masterpiece items. These are what give a master his enhancements that make the difference between winning and losing... between living and dying. We promise that adventure will come to surround and fill up your Life in The Land, but it's up to you to decide if your character holds Life like a bowl... or like a bowl made of emerald jade.
