Fusion FAQ:

Q. What are Fusion Gems?

A. Fusion Gems are orbs harvested from an enhancive item. You may generate one Fusion Gem from a single enhancive. You may only select one trait from any given enhancive, and the enhancive is destroyed in the harvesting process. Fusion Gems do not themselves enhance anything, they are solely intended to be socketed into Fusion Arms.

Q. What are Fusion Arms?

A. Fusion Arms or Armaments are weapons, shields, runestaves, or bows with sockets that can receive Fusion Gems. Armor accessories are not currently eligible for Fusion. Armaments are always considered enhancive items and are subject to restrictions thereupon, even if their sockets are currently empty. All Fusion Arms to be released at Ebon Gate are 4x.

Q. What items are eligible to be broken down by the Fusion system?

A. Most enhancive items can be broken down. Those that cannot include: crumbly enhancives, edible or drinkable enhancives, enhancives with certain scripts, and spell knowledge enhancives. Those that may be ineligible include traits with specific restrictions.

Q. What happens during the Fusion process?

A. A Fusion Gem is created that has a single enhancive trait equal to the trait you chose to harvest. If there were any restrictions on that trait and the Fusion process is permitted, they are carried over to the orb along with any global restrictions.

Q. How do Fusion Gems and Fusion Arms interact?

A. You can PUT Fusion Gems into Fusion Arms, and PRY them back out to switch out enhancive traits at will. If you do this often, there is a VERY slim chance that you will damage your Fusion Gem. Each time you damage a Fusion Gem, its enhanced trait loses 1 bonus point. If an enhancive trait reaches 0, the Gem will shatter.

Q. Are there any restrictions as to what Fusion Gems can go in which Fusion Arms?

A. Any Gem that can be created can go in any Armament.

Q. You're a jerk and you suck at coding.

A. That isn't a question, just a statement of fact.

Q. Can I convert my current armaments into Fusion Armaments?

A. Not currently, but this is a service we are looking into in the future. Your best bet is to buy lots and lots of stuff from my shop.

Q. Can we double traits?

A. You cannot stack multiples of the same trait on the same Armament. However, you can have--for example--one Strength Gem in your armor and one in your shield.

Q. Will my Fusion Gems crumble through normal use?

A. If you leave your Gems in your armor at all times, there is a 0 chance that they will degrade or crumble. Only when you are PRYing Gems and switching them out does a degradation roll come into play. I assure you that the roll is more than fair and, again, damaging your Gems should be a rare happening unless you have the enhancive equivalent of ADD.

Q. Okay, how do I do this?

A. Step one: buy a ticket to EG if you haven't already done so. Heck, even if you have, buy another. Step two: visit the Fusion Shaman and ORDER. He should be able to take you through the rest of the steps. You will currently need to purchase Fusion Armaments (lots and lots thereof, please) at my shop.

Q. How do we tell our Gems apart?

A. You can DRAW things on the Gems. It's a pretty substantial list. At last count, I think I had 70+ drawings to differentiate your Gems.

Q. How does recharging work?

All Fusion Armaments are 20-charge enhancive items. You can only switch Gems out of an Armament when its charges are empty. If you wish to prematurely empty the charges, just use the EXHALE command on the Armament. Once you've put your Gems into an Armament, you can charge it through normal AG procedures or have it recharged at a merchant.
