Official: Spoiler: Nebular and Solar Weapons

[Alastir]

Hello!

I'm here to discuss Solar and Nebular weapons with you.

Let me start by sharing some of their info:

-- Nebular Weapons --

You analyze your vultite falchion and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is a Nebular Weapon that grants its wielder the power of starlight during the hours of the night by giving a bonus that increases as the night reaches its apex. However, as the night wanes, so do its powers, and it begins to give a minus during the day.

The falchion has access to the following verbs at its current tier of 1 (OTS) out of 4: rub, salute, and tilt.

You may alter this item freely provided that it never has a description that would oppose the spheres of Ronan's domain.

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the vultite falchion for you.

-- Solar Weapons --

You analyze your vultite falchion and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is a Solar Weapon that grants its wielder the power of sunlight during the hours of the day by giving a bonus that increases as the day reaches its apex. However, as the day wanes, so do its powers, and it begins to give a minus during the night.

The falchion has access to the following verbs at its current tier of 1 (OTS) out of 4: rub, salute, and tilt.

You may alter this item freely provided that it never has a description that would oppose the spheres of Phoen's domain.

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the vultite falchion for you.



In the shop the Penitent Petitioner, you can buy a 4x Solar or Nebular weapon off the shelf, they naturally have cold (Nebular) or fire (Solar) flares.

There will be unlocking certificates available as well, some will be limited and the price will scale.

> Neat. Are there going to be paingrips!?

There are only hilted or hafted weapons at this time.

> Do these take up the script slot or flare slot or both?

Both

> Are these going to be priced similar to the retired Nerve shop? And is there a runestaff version?

There is not a runestaff version at this time. I'm not sure of Nerve shop pricing, so I can't answer this.

> Krakii

What?

The bonus will not ever prevent someone from taking their weapon out or putting it away or anything like that if they can hold vultite, then they can always wield this.

Also, It's not based on hour but based on time type (ie Sunrise, Midmorning, etc.)

Here's some more info:

Incidentally, bow works in all sitting, kneeling, standing, lying down positions. Each is different.

This would be so much better if the weapons had both on them. Different flares and abilities during night/day. As they are they just seem like RP props and will probably be overpriced.

When you're a goody two shoes light paladin but have a job and your timezone is PST so you're always playing during the 'night' in Elanthia:

Anyone else irked that they went with Nebular over Lunar? How does a nebula indicate night better than the moon, especially when they went with Solar for the day version.

[gilchristr]

Kind of. I was also thinking where are the liminal weapons?

Spoilers are when you tell something before everyone gets to see/use it, teasers are when you hint at what something can do. One is a mystery, the other is not.

Because this takes both slots that means it is NOT blessable right?

[Alastir]

I wonder how effective solar flares will be against undead if they were blessable somehow.

I would assume they're just providing standard flares of the cold/fire variety.

So it's a 4x fire/cold flaring weapon with additional scripts.

[Furryrat]

Anyone else irked that they went with Nebular over Lunar? How does a nebula indicate night better than the moon, especially when they went with Solar for the day version.

My guess would be because the moons (there are 4 in Elanthia) are physical bodies and not stars, and nebular weapons grant(s) its wielder the power of starlight during the hours of the night.

[Ltlprprincess]

I wonder how effective solar flares will be against undead if they were blessable somehow.

Thandiwe said they're not blessable (takes up flare and script slot), so I'd say not very effective.

[audioserf]

These seem superbly useless. Sweet, a weapon that has flares half the time.

I’m rarely on during the day so for me it will be a fun option if they have UAC options. I’m all for neat and outside the box things things!

I think I saw on one of these that they can unlock to 24 your flares too...

So far only weapons that are "hilted or hafted", so nothing in glove or boot format. If there's a decent held UAC weapon that is "hilted or hafted", then it would be a possible option.


> Neat. Are there going to be paingrips!?

There are only hilted or hafted weapons at this time.

They seem like a less randomized but also less fun chaos weapon to me.

[Menos]

I still really want to find the time to level up a paladin of zelia to use the choas lance.
