OGPlanet Forums: Cape and Bike Guide

Message

   Copy and pasted from my original guide in my previous guild forums.... 

Epaulettes (sometimes spelt epaulet by us lazy ppl) are what we call our capes. There are 3 types: Fighter, Sage, and Guardian. The only way you can see them appear as a cape is to have the appropriate chest armor level equivalent to the epaulette (listed below). This Guide will help you get a better understanding of what bonuses each gives, what armor type each will appear with and their drop locations. 
(Due to my limit in BB Coding pics; I've done them w/ links instead) Original Guide Link 
**Side Note**
You can wear any cape with any armor; they just will only show on your character with a specific armor set.

Info on bikes is at the bottom so scroll down! D:<

BIKES!
There are two types of Bikes in Cabal Online. One is a Blue Bike the other is an RW3. The major difference between them is not only the way they look but the fact that you can access your warehouse anywhere in the world if you carry an RW3 instead of the Blue Bike.

In order for you to summon/ride a bike, you must be level 80+ with the level 80 rank up completed. The Bike Chain attack will also be rewarded.

Common FAQ's on bikes

How early can I get a bike?
A: If your lucky and have a friend that's quitting you can probably get one as soon as you start the game, lol. But you won't be able to use it till your 80 so that won't matter. 

Where can I get a bike?
A: They can be found in dungeons such as Lake in Dusk, Runia Station, and EoD B1F. They can also drop from Forgotten Ruin Bosses (any one of them), Berderk from Lakeside, and rumor has it that Pluma from Pontus Ferrum can drop it as well. 
Another way to obtain one is by finding a player who is selling one. You'll be paying well over a billion alz and possibly good equips though. So save up if you feel your luck at finding one yourself is slimmer than you think.

How hard is it to find a bike?
A: The chance of finding one is very very slim. These are probably the rarest item in the entire game aside from +8 capes. Your chance of buying one from a player though is probably the best way to own one.

Which is harder to find, an RW3 or a Blue Bike?  
A: By looking at how many blues and RW3's are already in Cabal today; I'd say your chance of getting an RW3 is harder than getting a Blue Bike Key.

How do I upgrade a bike?
A: You would need an item called Plasma Coating Kit. They can be found in dungeons such as Lake in Dusk, Runia Station, and EoD B1F. You use them just like upgrade cores. Plasma Coating Kit's can also be crafted through Basic Crafting.

How high can I upgrade my bike?
A: +7 is the highest you can upgrade your bike. Each + will not only boost its stats, but give your bike a new color.

-END-

If you guys see any errors or find other drop locations please let me know so I can correct/adjust things. I would also like to put up a picture of each bike color from +1 through +7 and fill in pictures for other capes I have not put up. Questions/Comments feel free to post them. I'll update this guide whenever necessary. Thanks in advance.
