Chrism (325, T4) Update

[AMUSED1]

Chrism gems, crafted via Holy Receptacle (325, tier 4), have had their LOOK descriptions updated to reveal additional information about their benefits. Previously, the luminescent factor of the cobalt liquid inside the gem would provide hints as to how powerful the benefit was when used to grant another character the ability to meditate. However, chrism gems are rarely used for this purpose, so it now provides hints as to how much statistic recovery weakness will be mitigated when used on a corpse. The benefit would previously cap with a gem valued at 8,000 silver, but this cap has been removed. In addition, you can now tell how much experience retention will be provided by the gem by measuring the amount of liquid inside. Here is an example of the update:

The now translucent outer shell of the <almost full> uncut emerald allows you to see the <vibrant> cobalt liquid inside undulating.

Also.. I SWEAR that they [Estild/Oscuro] stated that the statistic recovery weakness cap was NOT achievable (a long time prior to this update).

[EDIT: Found it...

"Okay, I'm with you so far. But that still leaves me with the same question, just phrased differently, I suppose: what is the minimum value for the maximum level of DS mitigation?" -- Lumi

"For all intents, there is no such minimum. (It technically does exist, but it far exceeds the value of any gem in the game)." -- Estild"

I suppose, however, this could just be a case of mis-interpretation.]
