Once upon a time, there was a catastrophic change in Lineage 2 world. The lands and castles emerged out of nowhere. Dual Weapons suddenly dropped from the sky, spirit shots were materialized out of the ether, and the new monsters plagued the land with the very same meshes of the monsters that's been haunting us everywhere. Nobody knows why these changes came about to the world of Aden, but people have come to call the catastrophe "The Prelude".
On the first day of The Prelude, emerged the set items, and God saw that they were good.
They came with the blessing of adding extra HP, MP and HP / MP regen bonuses, and God saw that those bonuses were wicked.
However, one particular set stood out the most out of all the set items made. And it was the Strengthened Leather Armor Set. For classes such as the Dark Elf Assassins and Elven Scouts, it offered the protection of the light armors, but also provided the additional MP bonus. Assassins and Scouts rejoiced and thanked God for his providence.
