Lineage II never had cloaks. It's funny that we never really realized this before, but those characters just never wore cloaks. Luckily, the developers have realized their oversight and have finally fixed it -- cloaks will now be available to characters in the Gracia Final expansion. However, don't expect that you'll get a cloak just for logging in.
Cloaks are reserved for players who fight in Territory War, have high ranks in their clan, and those who fight against some of the major raid bosses of the game. The cloak rewards for these accomplishments are the Ancient Cloak, Knight's Cloak, and Holy Spirit cloak respectively.
Of course cloaks aren't the only new items being introduced. Players will also be enticed by brand new pieces of "Vesper Armor," the new S84 rank pieces of armor, as well as "Vesper Weapons." Vesper pieces can only be obtained through the new Seed of Destruction and Seed of Infinity raid bosses and can only be upgraded by revisiting those areas for Vesper Noble Enhance Stones, so expect to be seeing lots of the seed areas if you're interested in these armors and weapons.
Lastly, sigils have been added for caster classes looking for something to put into their shield slots. Finally, casters will be able to take advantage of that misused slot with items that can boost their powers further.
All in all, Gracia Final has offered many enticing items for players looking to engage with the new content that has come in this huge expansion. Certainly these items aren't the easiest things in the world to get, but then again, what epic items are?

I wanted to go back and try this game again with this update and the Kamel look awesome as well I never went back for them. At least with Lineage you know your in for a grind and well i like the straightforwardness of the Lineage style of grinding i know where a spawn is and i can camp it and grind mobs for a while; none of this running around looking for crap then running around to quest givers. I almost hate grinding quests more than just straight mobs. Too bad i cant log in to my master account UGH. Maybe the 19 dollars to but the game with the free month will have to do i mean its only 5 dollars more than a months sub anyway.

Funny enough you should mention this, I recently (like yesterday) have went back to lineage II after getting bored with WoW.
The games grind has really been improved. The Vitality system is nice (especially you start with it full, giving you a great boost in leveling @ low levels) and the XP grind even then has been improved quite a lot.
They also give full newbie benifits to anyone under like level 40, including "shadow" weapons (so you don't have to use a shitty item or grind forever to get the cash for a good one) and buffs from the trainers, not to mention herb drops are real nice.

Somewhat funny the whole idea of cloaks being something super special that you have to earn. When in reality, they are one of the most simple pieces of garments you can make, especially if you have a cloak without a hood... even easier in the style of the capes on these MMO guys.
Probably can find some player and NPC who can tailor up a fancy shirt, but find a cloak in the world? Nay never.
