> The "hit" is 100%, the slice on his greatsword is now zero.

I completely misunderstood that, thanks for the clarification.

As for Ignite, how does the damage types/amounts play with Cold/Electricity forms? The fire damage increase is proportional to the highest damage type (Which i presume as ABSELON said is now an elemental type?), so you end up with, to continue the approximation;

A sword that deals 100 cold, 50 impact, 25 piercing and X Fire, where X is how much it would have dealt if the sword wasn't shaped to cold anyway.

Is the end product here weapons that are about as good, with respect to 'points of damage across slice/impact/pierce/fire/cold/electricity' as capped player forged rare metal stuff?

And to clarify;

>The poor elemental protection of armors just means that maybe people who PvP a lot might need to rethink their armor setups. This is a good thing, IMO.

I agree, I think shaking up the 'ways to do damage' is a good thing across the board.

world did not explode with atlatl and spear/javelin, though it did poof into smoke after a bit if I didn't load it, but picking it up and reloading didn't seem to redo a timer, like it poofed within seconds of loading - instead of 20 or so.

fire damage with ignite changed depending if it was stone or ice actually. and I lied, it was extreme and no slice, not very extreme with some slice.


handed edged pole-ranged weapon.
An icy greatsword trains the two-handed edged skill.

You are certain that it could do:
low (3/26) puncture damage
no (0/26) slice damage
very heavy (10/26) impact damage
low fire damage with affinity for random attacks
extreme cold damage with affinity for slice attacks
no (0/26) electric damage

The icy greatsword is fairly (5/17) designed for improving the force of your attacks.

You are certain that the greatsword is poorly (3/15) balanced and is well (9/15) suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.

You awkwardly attempt to juggle an icy greatsword and a fiery greatsword, barely managing to grab each object before it falls!

Cabalists are awesome, I like how they get louder when they talk in your head too.
They have fire armor too if you hadn't seen them - the only elemental armor?

-I heard they have a unique reaction/effect to a certain spell, but never saw anything odd other than the head voices. Also my spells fail on them a lot, so that may be why - but I'd guess MOA may anger them?

-Is there something with lava drakes taking on a momentary humanoid form sometimes?


So why can't I grapple something, sunmon a fissure and be done with them? Elemental planes as a trash bucket?
Need a mystery element X option too - something really evil that eats everyone's magic or something - I wanna void blade to render doom with!!!

Or some kind of metaspell charge/change to brawling techs?
PW/shockwave blast flying suplex? Exploding Palm technique? Lightning kicks? Wipe my sweat away at foe and turn it into ice shards midair?

The ingot is never consumed. However, there is always a chance that it's quality will decrease when you summon the weapon.

>>Can you give away or trade the weapons you summon?

From: https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Elemental_weapons

The weapon cannot be GIVEN to another person.
The weapons crumble a short period after being dropped.
The weapon crumbles if someone else tries to pick it up.

>The weapon crumbles if someone else tries to pick it up.

This shouldn't be the case. It should simply prevent them from being picked up by anybody other than the creator. If someone tends it out after it lodges, it should give some messaging and end up on the ground.

>How does that work if you throw your weapons or spells like tingle/MB?

I am not sure. I'll test it tonight when I get home, and see if it is working correctly.

After throw it'll sit around for like 20 seconds, and should now reset that timer when you pick it up. Missed throws end up at the feet spot, but will still rot after about half a minute. It seemed to last okay when lodged in something, and I was just able to pull it out of its corpse or grab it after searching the corpse. I haven't had anything break when lodged in a critter yet, but I killed them pretty quickly. I guess hogs weren't meant to hold multiple elemental greatswords...

If you just drop it, they break pretty fast.

Noone wants to be my victim so I haven't tested tending or trying to pull a weapon out yet or any of that.

< You bash an electric quarterstaff at a ship's rat. A ship's rat fails to dodge.
The quarterstaff lands an apocalyptic (23/23) strike (So that's what it felt like when Grazhir shattered!) that blows a smoking hole into the throat and larynx with an electric blast.

Couple of messaging issues:

< Fluidly, you slice an icy claymore at a musk hog. A musk hog attempts to evade, only partially avoiding the impact. The claymore lands an awesome strike that shatters the hog's chest into a hail of ice shards as icy claymore trails blood-soaked hoarfrost in the wake.
The musk hog falls to the ground and lies still.
[You're adeptly balanced]
[Roundtime 9 sec.]

Needs the word "the" in from of icy claymore towards the end of the hit. Also might read better if it said "in its wake" instead of "in the wake".

< Moving in gracefully, you slice an icy claymore at a musk hog. A musk hog fails to dodge, moving almost completely out of harm's reach. The claymore lands a demolishing hit that combusts the throat and larynx causing smoke to issue from the hog's's mouth.
The musk hog screams one last time and lies still.
[You're adeptly balanced]
[Roundtime 9 sec.]

Seems like this should be for a fiery hit and not an icy hit? Also the double apostrophe.

Btw, loving these!

i'm confused, why did you need to deed the ingot? Are you not getting material quality with appraise careful?

ahh, higher appraisal will give you the numbers.

>> All abilities are based on Earth.

Does that mean it costs me twice as much charge if I am opposed to earth?

>Compared to if you are aligned to earth, yes.

I have no idea where you got that info, but I am 90% sure that is incorrect. I'll double check, but I believe it's

Alignment	Cost
Aligned	x/2
Neutral	x
Opposed	x*2

That's what I thought as well and had my table as that originally, but I thought I would do the research to make sure and ended up taking my info from here: https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Summoning_skill#Training_methods
<<- Using an opposing elemental pathway drains elemental charge twice as fast as using a pathway of an aligned element.
<<- Using a neutral elemental pathway drains elemental charge 1.5 times as fast as using a pathway of an aligned element.

A slight exaggeration, but that does sound about right if you are aligned to Air. :(
