[Non-Renewal] Kafra Class

[dreinor]

hi.. I tried recreating a kafra sprite for a custom class.. just wanted to know your ideas and opinions on what might be a good set of skills if ever this custom class is released.. server setting is pre-renewal & classic..

Samples: not yet final..

It could use a better weapon that suits her job?  Clip-board would be nice?  Or should be a support class like acolyte since kafra is our support npc.

This is going to be a female only class?

for now, female class only.. haha.. i don't have the luxury of time to create a male kafra from scratch..XD about the weapon, i'm thinking of monster based weapons like bapho scythe, atroce weapon, hammer of minorous, bell of moonlight, haha.. so that the weapon would be unique..XD

already finished the broom.. but, it looks too plain..

[Asuka Connell]

  Clipboard please, Alice and Aliza own the Broom
If you want her to be unique and in character, it has to be the clipboard, no other mob has it 

For skills, maybe a combination from Acolyte and Merchant classes, modified to not render the other classes useless, of course.
Or you can make it like the Super Novice, where the player will pick what branch of the skill tree they'd like to pursue.

That clipboard looks mighty cute 

For the male sprite, how about modeling it after the Cool Event NPC? That way you won't have to make it from scratch and it will be parallel to Kafra.

[dreinor]

@Gaymer
nice ideas on the skills.. thanks for the ideas..

@Asuka Connell
which of the 2 is the male kafra? haha..

[Gaymer]

Cool event NPC looks better. But change the hairstyle it horrendous. xD

i think that sprite can be recreated from priest sprite.. haha.. additional muffler, arm band on one arm,  belt, recolor and the jacket is straighter not curved on the waistline..

[dreinor]

i think i like the other one.. tried to recreate the sprite little by little.. i think i can finish the male in 5 mos.. hahaha..

True that, the Cool Event NPC certainly looks like a Priest. I think the one you're working on is the Smile Assistance, it's cute enough.

Just curious though, what server will be using this customization?

[dreinor]

as of now, none yet.. haha..

[Neffletics]

as of now, none yet.. haha..

Sir Dreinor, I hope I get a chance to try that Kafra class of yours~

Any update on this? Seems interesting.

[dreinor]

i'm on a break at the moment.. doing some real world stuffs.. hehe..

This is awesome! Good call on the clipboard.

When I saw this, I immediately envisioned a Save Service skill that sets your respawn-point to your current coordinates like the @save command, but only temporarily.
Party-members respawn to where they were standing when the skill was cast on them. Or alternatively, where the Kafra player was standing.
The player's original respawn-point returns after a semi-short duration or upon respawning.
It could function as a sort of resurrection substitute, coming in handy for MVPing.
This skill probably needs a long delay, and other restrictions.

Naturally, there has to be some kind Teleport Service skill similar to an Acolyte's teleport/warp-portal, but instead of @memo points, you warp to main towns, in true Kafra Service fashion.
The skill could cost an amount of zeny proportionate to the distance between the player's current map and their destination.
For instance, warping from Comodo Field to Morroc would be less expensive than going from Comodo Field to Al De Baran.

A great platinum skill for the Kafra Class would be Storage Service, which grants the perk of opening storage anywhere, just like the @storage command.

Just brainstorming here. Good luck with development!

tried recreating male kafra class.. comments?

[yC]

The male kafra looks nice when standing and walking, the attacking maybe a bit ... well I don't know what to expect from a kafra.
