Dyes and Hidden Power | zGaming Essence

General information

Each character in Lineage 2 Essence has a set of basic characteristics that depend on the character's race and class.
You can change the basic characteristics using patterns. To apply patterns you will need Dyes, which can be obtained in various ways.
There are six basic features in total:

Features	What does it affect?
STR	Strength, affects physical attack damage and physical attack crit chance
DEX	Agility, affects attack speed, accuracy, evasion and chance of critical physical attacks
CON	Resistance, affects maximum amount of HP and CP, weight limit, chance to block with shield
INT	Intelligence, affects magic attack damage
WIT	Wisdom, affects magical speed, accuracy, magical evasion and chance of magical critical hits
MEN	Spirituality, affects magic defense, maximum MP, chance to cancel magic

By clicking on the "Patterns and Hidden Power" section in the equipped dyes window (to the right of the Agathion Bracelet), you can open a special interface.
Here you can apply, remove or enhance the Hidden Power pattern:

Depending on the level, dyes can increase their stats by up to +5. Below you can see the increase given at each level:

Level	STR Dye	INT Dye	DEX Dye	WIT Dye	CON Dye	MEN Dye
Level	P. Atk.	M. Atk.	Chance of receiving physical critical damage.	Chance of receiving magical critical damage.	P. Def.	M. Def.

If several patterns of the same type are applied and these patterns provide additional properties not only to the main, but also to other parameters, the indicators for improving these additional properties will not be added up. For example, if you apply 2 patterns using STR Dye Level 4, you get the following result: STR +8 (+4 from each dye), P. Atk. +50 (only from one of the dyes).

From level 16, you can add 1 more property to the dye:

Level	STR Dye	INT Dye	DEX Dye	WIT Dye	CON Dye	MEN Dye
Level	Physical skills critic	Magic skill critique	Damage from Soulshot	Spiritshot damage	Damage received from physical abilities	Damage received from magical abilities
16	0.5%	0.5%	1.0%	1.0%	-1.0%	-1.0%
17	1.0%	1.0%	1.5%	1.5%	-1.5%	-1.5%
18	1.5%	1.5%	2.0%	2.0%	-2.0%	-2.0%
19	2.0%	2.0%	3.0%	3.0%	-3.0%	-3.0%
20	3.0%	3.0%	4.0%	4.0%	-5.0%	-5.0%

Dyes can be upgraded using the "Pattern upgrade" option located in the top right-hand corner of the "Patterns and Hidden Power" interface.

If Dye has not yet been applied, you can increase its level by using the "Dye compounding" option.

Dye level 0 can be purchased at any NPC Grocer Store located in the game's main cities.

Dyes level 3 above can be obtained by defeating High Elite Raids (group raid boss) as a reward in a Raid Chest
Dye Booster can be obtained by defeating Elite Raids (raid boss solo) as a reward in their drop, it is also possible to obtain by participating in the instance Aden Kingdom Defense and using TvT Coin on TvT Shop
Best Dye Coupon can be obtained at events and by participating in the Aden Kingdom Defense instance.

Each standard cell has different hidden energy options.
You can select one of these options at any time.
The option only applies if a dye level of 1 or higher is applied.
The current bonus is determined by the level of the dye applied and the strengthening stage of Hidden Power. So, if the standard of your dye is Lv. 8, and the "Hidden Power" is strengthened to stage 10, then the effect will only be applied up to stage 8.

	The bonus is not active	The progress of Hidden Power and the applied standard has not reached this stage.

	The bonus is partially active, but it doesn't work	The progress of the applied pattern has reached this stage. The bonus will only take effect when "Hidden Power" has been improved by the required number of points. The blue color shows the progress of the applied pattern (its level).

If you remove a pattern from a pumped cell, the hidden power progress will not be lost, but will simply stop working. To reactivate the "Hidden Power" bonus, you must apply a dye pattern.

There are 16 Hidden Power options, each of which can be upgraded to level 1-20.
The "Hidden Power" properties can be improved regardless of whether the standard is applied or not.

Improving Hidden Power properties occurs with a certain probability and a certain rate of point increase. You can see the chance of successfully increasing the hidden power in the "Probability" section.
To improve the "Hidden Power" properties, you will need Hidden Power Booster. Every day you can make 20 attempts, after which you can pay to reset the number of attempts up to 3 times. The limit of attempts that can be made per day is updated daily at 6:30 am.
The number of points needed to increase the Hidden Power level is as follows:
