Is it true Ithzir flares won't work in places you cannot fog into; ie. Nelemar, Rift, OTF? If so, is this a system that has plans for updates in order to reconfigure this special armor group to work in the three (four counting Grimwarm camps) capped hunting areas available?

I can't speak from first person experience to capped hunting grounds, but I can say that I don't believe I've ever had my Izthir flares fire in Darkstone, which is kind of in the same boat as far as fogging ability. So.. maybe? Mostly I see them fire during bandit bounties when they manage to land a stunning maneuver. I haven't seen them fire much, if at all, in the Stronghold but that could be because I get incapacitated so rarely. I'm either very alive or very dead, usually from a stone fist.

My Ithzir flares do not fire off in any capped hunting area. The only time I see them is when I'm doing bandits. The solution is to get a high enough rank in one of the sub groups of ithzir flares to make use of other abilities besides the emergency teleport.

Well this news pleases me, as a warrior (with berserk) aiming for specific abilities in the new tiers/trees.

A way to toggle the teleport ability on/off and the firing of the script in hunting areas, for those that want it, would be even better.

Totally agree with Keith, in general. The allure of Ithzir flares for me isn't necessarily in the fogging effect. I'm halfway up the healing tree (3rd step as soon as I have a chance to hook up with Wyrom for the EG win), and that has been the huge boon for me. If I get splattered in a place like Darkstone where the fog effect isn't firing, the shrug ability to auto-heal is pretty damned convenient. It will be even better once wound reduction starts happening on the next step.

It appears this type of service has come around only during EG? Are there plans to create more opportunities to unlock tiers? Currently my tier 0 reacts 0 percent of my grimswarm and nelemar hunts.

BUG found with Ithzir flare

H>sub Hobbit
You are beginning to feel a little fatigued.
[Roll result: 274 (open d100: 193) Penalties: 0]
You spring from hiding and deliver a blow to Hobbit's head!

[Teras Isle, Logging Road - 1995]
Grass, shrubs, and even small hills have been flattened by a logging road many yards wide stretching between the forest to the west and the settlement to the east. Carts trundle by frequently, and it appears that at times the traffic has been heavy enough to carve two separate sets of ruts into the mud. A small peak rises to the south, and the low stone buildings of a sizeable town dot its slopes. A cobblestone road heads south, towards the town. You also see the icy blue Hobbit disk and the Mumblz disk.

Before your attack can connect, a sudden burst of fog erupts in a momentary swirl around Hbbbit. When the fog clears, Hobbit has vanished, leaving only a faint trail of fog leading through a cobblestone road.

I'm not sure I understand the bug.

It looks like it is working as intended. When the armor script "flares", there would be no endroll or hit. It kicks in prior to an attack resolution.

I'm not sure if its coded to work with cmans (probably), but the subdue may just have fallen in the 80% chance for it NOT to flare.

T0 has 20% chance to flare, assuming there are armor charges left for the day.

The bug is with subdue and sleep (only two I have tested).

Notice the 3 second roundtime happening again and again with no attack until ithzir flares. The bug makes the wearer essentially unattackable and therefore invincible.

The bug quits when I run out of charges.

Oh, I'm blind. I thought you were just still in roundtime from the subdue.

Yea, that is ugly.

I just confirmed it testing at the birthing sands, the rift, and just outside town...

Ithzir teleport scripts do not activate where teleportation INTO that area is disabled. Which makes the armor an expensive paperweight for me... what the hell?
Basically I can't use it in any capped hunting grounds like the Rift, warcamps, OTF, and Nelemar!

PLEASE make the scripts work in those areas!
What's the point otherwise other than to get my escorts killed?

While the auto teleport does not work in those areas, the other features do. My suggestion is to go up one of the tiers that has an activated benefit.

I use my Ithzir armor for bandit tasks. If I am hunting it is either in OTF or the Rift where Ithzir armor does not work. In those cases I use my Voln armor.

BESEECH is very powerful, if you can get it unlocked to Status Condition Tree Tier 3 or 4. That works even when the escape ability does not.

HEALING also works.

But yea, the best thing about this armor is best for the pre-capped player. If I ever get my set fully, fully unlocked, I think I will still go up the Charges Tree, in hope that this someday gets tweaked. But even then, it's still a nice power that I get to have on top of my padding. It didn't cost me any other choices with my armor.

Unlocks also give you more charges, to power more BESEECHES, which is itself worth it.

Interesting to note that my rogues armor ithzir flared hunting bandits on logging road. The result brought him one room over into greymist jungle. This is interesting because while you cannot fog into that area, ithzir flares can jump into it.

Unfortunately I was unaware it doesn't work in the rift so I unlocked the flare chance tree.

I want a refund :/

I also misunderstood how the healing tree works. Ranks 3 and 4 don't reduce your wounds like a herb, leaving a scar. I missed the example he posted but the leaving of a scar rather than the transformation of the injuries down one leaves it lass than desirable, for me.

T1 is nice for HP but is duplicated by symbol of restoration (for me).

I vote for at least T4 (which is hard to get anyway) to remove the previous wound rank's scars, since otherwise the tree has little point! You still wouldn't be able to search, cast, drag etc with the leftover scar.
