Dragon
weapons and Knightmare armor are unique crafted
weapons and armor. To craft these unique items, you will need pet components or "parts". When you have all of the required parts, you can craft the item at the
Animal Trainer in any town. Be warned, as crafting is not always successful. Failing during the crafting process ruins the components and they are lost forever.
Pet ComponentsPet parts/components come from harvesting pets. Basically, you take a pet to the
Animal Trainer, select "Sacrifice Pet", and if successful, you get a random pet component. Sacrificing a higher level pet does increase the chances of your success in gaining a pet componenet. You are also more likely to get one of the rarer parts from a higher level pet. But there is the catch. If you sacrifice 100 pet parts you might get one horse/dragon component. But this was made when the highest Plus was +10, so it is not worth it no more.
Uses of Dragon Weapons and Knightmare Armor
Dragon
weapons will always be the same level of your character with an equivalent of a +6 upgrade. They cannot be upgraded beyond the +6 nor can they be blood sealed. One of the great things about them is that they look great. They have the effects of a weapon that has max upgrades, lots of glowing and lighting effects. There is a lot of contention surrounding the usefulness of Dragon
Weapons. Your character is able to equip
weapons four levels higher than their own level while the Dragon
Weapons are always limited to your current level. A normal weapon cannot only be equipped four levels early, but it can also be upgraded beyond +6. This adds extra bonuses as well as damage. Normal
weapons can also benefit from the added effects of
blood seals whereas Dragon
Weapons cannot be blood sealed.
Knightmare Armor suffers the same problem as the Dragon
Weapons. They are limited to your current level, are only +6 without the option to increase the upgrade and cannot be blood sealed. Though they do have the pretty effects that would normally apply to maxed armor upgrades (a very bright little fairy that hovers over your shoulder).
There uses are obsolete now. This was in the era of +10 weapons, and have a +10 weapon was rare too, lol. Now with the +10 weapons given to you at L31, why fool with this. This is another obsolete item that needs to be updated. Oh, and if you do get them, think of all the money that you will waste, whereas you could have bought you a +10 items instead.
