Graphics[edit]

The Binding of Ipos is a demonic tome. The cover is aged leather adorned with an oval frame with purple demonic runes at the center of which is a purple eye with a yellow iris that moves around as it observes its surroundings. On each of the four corners of the book are decorative metallic demonic hands with three clawed fingers and a thumb. When drawn, the book floats in front of the user and opens to the bookmark, revealing pages with purple glowing text and diagrams.

Aura
  • The player grows a purple demonic hand with three fingers and a thumb. A purple aura connects the book with the hand.
Draw/Stow Animation
  • Purple mists swirl around you as the book floats in front of you and opens.
  • An ominous audio aura and faint unintelligible whispering can be heard while the weapon is drawn.
Footfalls
  • The player leaves behind puddles of dark purple viscous liquid.
Projectiles
  • Purple spherical eyes with a yellow iris.

Notes[edit]

  • It is recommended that you do not attempt to stat change your precursor item with the standard stat swap recipe in the Mystic Forge. While you will be provided with an item with the desired stats, it will have been replaced with a generic ascended item that cannot be used as a legendary precursor.
  • Both Shard of the Dark Arts.pngShard of the Dark Arts and Mystic Curio.pngMystic Curio (All Variants) recipes are contained within Recipe sheet exotic focus.pngRecipe: Mark of the Unnamed.

Trivia[edit]

Visual bug of still displaying the floating book while mounted.
  • The weapon was released with Living World Season 4 Episode 1, Daybreak.
  • Ipos is one of the powerful demon princes described in the Ars Goetia. Ipos is known to reveal all things, past, present, and future.
  • The text on The Binding of Ipos is made of a unique alphabet.[1]
  • Just like Bolt and The Shining Blade, among various other things, this focus was designed by Chelsea Mills.[2]
  • There was a bug effect when using a mount while having The Binding of Ipos drawn resulting in the floating book still being visible. This was fixed around May 2020.
