a helical illthorn staff - 6x 6x T4 T5 Ensorcell. Item is currently fully attuned to it's owner, and will have to have that affinity worked off.

Two boughs of satin finish illthorn entwine to form the body of the staff - one an inky crimson hue, the other a pale ashen grey. A perfectly spherical soulstone caps the runestaff, gripped by natural talon-like protrusions that has grown from the branches themselves. Faendryl runes sink into the surface of the soulstone to flow along the entirety of the faintly glowing stone, a pallid necrotic green sheen contrasting the runes as light strikes its surface. You see nothing unusual, except for a small enchanter's glyph. A strange necrotic haze radiates from the staff.

ITEM DETAILS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a tiered item that is currently Tier 4 of 4, which results in a 35% chance for the Muscle Memory flare to trigger when used against like level foes. It also has the following verbs available: CLENCH, TOUCH, STARE, LISTEN, and BERSERK.

The illthorn staff shares a complete Affinity with you! This will result in a bonus of 10 to Combat Maneuver Ranks being applied when the Muscle Memory flare is successfully triggered.

ALTERATION GUIDELINES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This illthorn staff may be freely altered by any merchant who is comfortable doing so, with the following caveat: The staff was formed of special saplings that were trained to grow around one another. In order to reflect this, it should always contain the word 'twisted', 'braided', 'helical', or something similiar in its TAP description.


You can tell that the staff is as light as it can get.

What is the difference between this and the lacquered version? Is one better? Also, if muscle memory flares boost combat maneuvers how long does that boost last for? Wiki says CM does not raise spell AS, so are the cm flares for protection? Been trying to wrap my head around that since I picked one up the other day. Thanks!

This is one of the lacquered ones you've seen around. it is 6x +30, with 6x acuity, T4 unlocked (berserk), and T5 ensorcell. I simply altered it to be a 'staff' instead of a 'runestaff'

Ahhh I see! Nice that it does look different. Any insight on the CM flares?

In short, that. When you attain fully affinity with the staff, it'll trigger a muscle memory flare, which grants you 10 combat maneuver ranks. The ranks increase as your affinity increases, capping at 10 ranks, with full affinity.

yeah, the CM flares are purely for protection... You have to keep in mind that most people carrying these around have little in the way of CM training so it's almost like an extra set of mobiles or something almost.

I'll outbid blanks by 1 million silvers, thus raising the total bid to 22 million silvers.

I'll continue asking incessant questions, thus giving free bumps in the ongoing quest for enlightenment until someone answers.

how long does the rank boost last?

Muscle Memory Flare:
Grants a brief Combat Maneuver ranks enhancive benefit. Baseline chance for flare to trigger is 20%, with each unlocked Tier providing an additional 5%. Baseline benefit is +5 CM Ranks at Affinity level 1, +6 at Affinity level 2, +7 at Affinity level 3, +8 at Affinity level 4, and +10 at Affinity level 5.

Never really timed the rank boost. I do know it's a short boost. I'd hazard a guess at 30 seconds. Though the above is the exact detail on the muscle memory (cman) flares.

Also: Updated.

you also forgot to add that with the max tier it has the ability to do an adrenal surge type effect every so often based on affinity which could also be huge if knocked down and not RT locked
