Dark Amaranthine/Bloody Amaranthine

The Lineage 2 - Tauti update added the option to give Amaranthine weapons a PvP or PvE bonus.
A weapon can only have one type of bonus at a time: the PvP bonus gives an edge in fights against other players, and the PvE bonus gives an edge in fights against monsters.
The bonus adds a special passive skill that is active only while the weapon is equipped.

Comparison of PvE and PvP bonuses

With the PvP bonus, the Amaranthine weapon gets the prefix Dark - Dark, and with the PvE bonus it gets the prefix Bloody - Bloody.

How to upgrade Helios weapons

The bonus is added to Amaranthine weapons by Blacksmith of Mammon.
Remember that Blacksmith of Mammon teleports between Town of Aden, Town of Giran and Rune Township in random order, spending 1 hour of real time in each town.
A bonus can be added to both normal and blessed Amaranthine weapons.
When adding a bonus to a normal Amaranthine weapon there's a chance of failure, and the weapon won't get a bonus.
Success chance for a blessed Amaranthine weapon - 100%
A bonus cannot be added to a weapon augmented with a Life Stone.
Adding a bonus keeps the weapon's attribute, enchant level and special ability.
