Livitinems (Living Items)
We’ve decided to create some new living items, some more of those famous Livitinems, especially for the release of DOFUS version 1.21. We wanted to reinvigorate the gifts players will get when they subscribe, but we also wanted to increase the range of items in the game and to bring more personality to them…
Livitinems (and you’ll have to make an effort here, their name isn’t the easiest to pronounce) are living items who parasite other items. They graft themselves onto capes, hats, amulets and rings.
Once they’ve found their parasitic way onto these inanimate items, they’ll change their appearance. So the Livitinems allow you to change the appearance of your items.
That’s not all! These Livitinems have the ability to change their own appearance little by little as they digest whatever item it is that they’re feeding on… so your Livitinems can decide on the metamorphosis, and therefore the appearance, that suits them best.
This feature allows players to regularly change their characters’ appearance without having to seek out new items, or to hide the items they have from other players, something which will no doubt prove very useful in combat.
But these Livitinems wouldn’t really be living if they didn’t speak, now would they? Fortunately, they do… sometimes a little too much to be honest!
The Livitinems won’t hesitate to pass remarks on what they see around them and to express their views on whatever might happen to your character. So even if you’re the kind of warrior who likes to get up before the rest and set off alone, you wont’ be short of a bit of company on those lonely adventures…
In introducing this concept, we wished to play with new levels of interaction between items in the game. If the concept proves successful, we will do our best to improve it and to add new features as we see necessary. Whatever happens, we’ll keep you informed here on the devblog.
