Got the greathelm and I love it, active/reactive dispell flares on head/neck/eyes. Love it so much I bought some Krod platemail, so really have no use for the helm. Bought this for about 13k BS, I think it started at 10k BS. Bidding will go ONCE, TWICE, SOLD. Free delivery to the west side. Not accepting cash, please covert your cash to silvers via Beldannon's Shiniest Silvers Service.

Does this affect mana at all?

[Ososis]

Does this affect mana at all?

Oh yeah, sorry it totally does. It actually adds 14 mana, cuts it in half, then multiplies it all by 0.

OP edited to reflect.

[drauz]

Also have to be lvl 80 to hold it.

[Ososis]

Also have to be lvl 80 to hold it.

God I am the worst. Wiki says 78, but yeah that's super important too. Sorry guys, as a capped, 6 mana warrior none of these things mattered to me. Updating OP again.

[Mogonis]

Really need to review the level 80 requirement. Very stupid restriction and for no reason.

[Archigeek]

Agreed. Been lobbying for that. I think the restrictions for that and zelnorn are too high.

[Wyrom]

I'd rather see all the metals have higher level requirements than to drop this. All the metals were designed around level 30 cap of GemStone ][ days.

That's hardcore. You should talking about instituting breakage too.

Wiki says 78 but my 78 warrior that I bought one for can't hold it. I was sad. I believe its 80.

If Wyrom can confirm please.

[Ososis]

I get where he is coming from. Metals matter for about 18 minutes till you hit 10th and can do vultite. Get super crazy with golvern at 13th train. It's a a lot of stuff thats crammed into almost "pre-game" amount of training.

[Ardwen]

I am all for restrictions on some materials, however I think the ones set for Kroderine, Zelnorn and Adamantine are too hine, adamantine in particular, but the other 2 are too high as well, i think around 50 would be much more reasonable for kroderine. I actually wish we had more rare, and I do mean rare, materials, and starting to actually go by material guidelines for the ones we have.

[Wyrom]

Level 80. Update it everywhere!!

[Ardwen]

wait does that mean all kroderine is 80? Not existing prior to me being 78 when it was released I never got to verify the elevel requirements

[Wyrom]

Should have always been 80. Everything shows me 80.

[Ardwen]

Thanks Wormlord!

[time4fun]

Should have always been 80. Everything shows me 80.

It was always 80.

A long time ago a merchant or other NPC commented that in order to hold kroderine someone would need to be able to handle a Dhu Goleras. Everyone took that to mean 78, but the GM behind it was hinting at 80.

[Ososis]

Level 80. Update it everywhere!!

Done

[Mogonis]

Don't really care what you do with kroderine. Just make krodera great so my net worth triples and all the wenches will love me.

[allen]

Any chance you can post some logs of it in action?

[Ososis]

Sure, lemme go headbutt some Cerebralites.

[drauz]

Level 80. Update it everywhere!!

Should change it to 78. Or change my warrior to 80. Either way I expect this to be done by tomorrow evening. Chop Chop.

I stumbled upon an unattended grizzly so figured I would give him a knock...

The cerebralite slumps to the ground in an unconscious heap.


Please note the greathelm ONLY grants the dispell flares, all other effects are from headbutt. These are logs of the FLARES, this has standard flare rate and does not flare on every hit.
I have seen it try to reactionary flare on bandits and other things that make face contact, if I catch one I will post it, though most likely it will be a flare against something with no spells.

[allen]

Pretty awesome. Please post a reactive flare if ya get one.

[Ososis]

Reactive flare against a bandit. I also have been told it should sometimes EAT spells that are cast at it, but I have yet to notice such an effect, and a friend tried to force one to happen and was unsuccessful.


A human highwayman swings a mace at you!

[Makkah]

Tested with my set, it absorbs about 1/3 of CS spells (likely other targeted spells) cast at you. Pretty awesome shit. I also have to powerhunt my warrior a few levels :/

[nocturnix]

Question about the mana draining: Does it drain all your mana permanently or just when you wear it? Considering this for my bard pure, who uses only mana for fighting but if its just drained on wearing and thats the only mana drawback thats not an issue.

It fully drains your mana, prevents mana regen or receiving mana from others. When this helm is on, you will not, can not, have any mana, ever.

[nocturnix]

Dang.

[Archigeek]

It fully drains your mana, prevents mana regen or receiving mana from others. When this helm is on, you will not, can not, have any mana, ever.

The operative phrase there is "when the helm is on", to be clear. Take the helm off and you can get mana just like anyone else.

[Androidpk]

Why do you lose all of your mana instead of just a certain amount like when you use a kroderine shield?

[Astray]

Because the helmet is on your head. The epicenter of mana.

DUH YA FUCKING NERD

[Ososis]

Why do you lose all of your mana instead of just a certain amount like when you use a kroderine shield?

Hmmm, that is interesting. I have only had warriors play with it, so perhaps we don't have enough mana to overcome it? Or maybe its that shields and weapons are held instead of worn and so have reduced penelties? Any more info on the effects of the shield?

[Androidpk]

Because the helmet is on your head. The epicenter of mana.

DUH YA FUCKING NERD

I will put my boot on your fucking head NERD

[Gelston]

He'll have to put it there with his hands, because his skinny jeans don't allow him to kick you.

[allen]

What the hell.. MB

All the books you bought off me, I owe it to ya! Plus the helm is pretty cool.

[Androidpk]

He'll have to put it there with his hands, because his skinny jeans don't allow him to kick you.

I would never wear skinny jeans, sir.

[Ltlprprincess]

I would never wear skinny jeans, sir.

Butt too big?

[Gelston]

I would never wear skinny jeans, sir.

You used to admit to it all the time! Your hipster phase finally gone?

[Androidpk]

Butt too big?

Yes, maybe, something is.


You used to admit to it all the time! Your hipster phase finally gone?

Not to my recollection.. Slim jeans maybe, never skinny.

[Ososis]

Bid and PK pants preference updated.

[Androidpk]

Thanks Gelstone!

[Gelston]

lolz

[Ososis]

Late night pants bump.

[Roblar]

Why do you lose all of your mana instead of just a certain amount like when you use a kroderine shield?

Because those are held instead of worn, so they remove less spells but also don't ding your mana as much.



Hmmm, that is interesting. I have only had warriors play with it, so perhaps we don't have enough mana to overcome it?

Hey I have 307! And it goes to 0/0 not 0/307. Like you mentioned, can't receive new mana, or by pulse until it is removed.

[Donut]

Just to clarify-- did you test this with the greathelm or with a different set of armor?

[SonoftheNorth]

Just to clarify-- did you test this with the greathelm or with a different set of armor?

He has full plate.

[hello]

so kroderine blocks 1/3 of incoming CS spells but you basically can't cast spells in it? does it strip your spells you have on or block incoming helpful spells? Does the greathelm only block 1/3 of CS spells? what about the full plate? what about targeted spels?

[Warriorbird]

Basically... full kroderine makes an excellent outfit for a Voln warrior.

[allen]

Basically... full kroderine makes an excellent outfit for a Voln warrior.

Exactly. I have a set of kroderine plate with ithzir on it, this helm is not going to help me functionally right?

[Warriorbird]

Exactly. I have a set of kroderine plate with ithzir on it, this helm is not going to help me functionally right?

I doubt it but tests could be run. What this will do is give people some of the benefit for a fraction of the cost... which would be a good thing for many warriors.

[hello]

but can you wear spells with it? and differences betwen the greathelm and the fullplate?

[SonoftheNorth]

It doesn't strip spells off you if you take it off while getting spells then put it back on.

[hello]

It doesn't strip spells off you if you take it off while getting spells then put it back on.

wow, if you can pad this, this shit is fucking awesome - like the best armor base a warrior can get.

[allen]

Can't pad it..

[Ososis]

wow, if you can pad this, this shit is fucking awesome - like the best armor base a warrior can get.

ooh I am McGyver, I only have 50k, oh wait no I have 900M, oh wait I had a stupid thought. Ooh here is my opinion on gear I don't have based on mechanics I don't comprehend!
Get the fuck off my merchant threads.

[Ososis]

Moving this to going twice due to lack of interest. Auction will be called sold sometime tonight or early tomorrow if no further interest.
