http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Blink_weapon

being as I predominantly play runestaff pures. I've no need for a blink weapon.

I'd like to do partial trades, but coin will do as well.

Things I want:

1x a day fash'lo'nae gift tome
Self charging or self mana heroism
stupidly highend soft leather armors I might be interested in
really nice highend enhancives (such as the +15 to demonology bracelet, other auction raffle enhancives, etc).
entwined wands
anything that casts cone or a cone variant self charger
1606 tattoo - which was used from EG I know, but maybe one was in this droughtman thing and will be found.
possibly spell knowledge items (1711 for instance or 1606)
song of mirrors gorget

Preference will be given to people who can come up with a trade item. Otherwise, coins it is.

For those who do not know, I can't actually sell the certificate, I have to redeem it. So what you're bidding on is the right to tell me what to make with it, and then of course buy that item. I will require a 50% deposit up front, balance paid upon delivery. If you ask me for a less valuable weapon base that I'd have a hard time selling if you backed out, I may require a 100% upfront deposit.

So, if you win, you can have a blink maul, or a blink handaxe, or a blink lance, or a blink fist-scythe, or katar, or whatever. Probably not claidhmore or katana but I've asked bout those.

last one apparently sold for 140 or 150m and that one you couldn't pick the base so...

mb 100m

SOLD on BO

On a side note.. one thing that link does not explain is that the spell cast is exactly as if you cast the spell, taking skills, bonuses, and LORES into account.

Which if they do another lore update, could be big.

Also.. I am not 100% certain.. but I believe the battle axe sold for around 150 mill.

Just saying.

I never bitched about the prizes, and in fact posted more than one that I thought it was a good deal for $30.

I complained about the combat, (which, by the way, they found to be problematic and changed).

Yea, and Drew or someone can verify this, but i believe the higher level of the spell, the less often it flares.

So putting a low level bolt spell in there I think would be more effective if you have 2x spell aim and some MOC for splash.

crb
03-05-2011, 10:53 PM
Or just sleep even. Assuming you're a hasted warmage, a sleeping target becomes splat, and it should flare all the time. Someone said almost every swing with level 1 spells

I'd probably do a longsword, but a fast, light weapon is a very good idea.

Jarvan
03-06-2011, 02:14 AM
Personally, I think a non-thw is best for this sort of weapon. As you want the weapon to flare.

Another good spell for casters is any type of mana drain spell. If the weapon allowed bard spells, I would be all over this. Really rather pissed they excluded bard spells from the weapon.

could always use 409/415 as a bard, and with the elore review (rofl) it might even hit more than one target. Probably not ideal, not as nice as 1002 or whatever.

I'd use 1005, 1008 and 1013 flares most likely. 1030 would be nice, if they were not AoE version. Alas, we'll never find out.

evil eye isn't an attack spell is it?

I did test it with DC, and it worked... way back when.

Or you could just..cast the spell and skip the whole swinging thing. Swinging sorcerers are dumb.

Mumblz
03-06-2011, 09:47 PM
just cast the spell? isn't the whole point of the weapon to use your bestest attack spell hasted at 1 sec per swing with something like a short sword so as to save all your manas?

No reason you shouldn't be able to have a claid/katana base without the weighting. I doubt they will allow naginata though.

It would seem like it. Do you think the recent post that Emeredan made regarding needing to get weapon bases approved had anything to do with it?

crb
03-08-2011, 08:23 AM
No, I don't think so. I don't think anyone expected to be allowed a katana or a claidhmore.

Besides, if what you want can't be done, you can have a refund.

Drakefang
03-08-2011, 08:30 AM
Are those the only two limitations? When I read Em's post the impression I got is that they are going to limit the bases on these beyond just katana or claidh. What I mean is, they don't want 4 blink short swords or mauls all in the game at once. So, it's more a first come first serve of weapon choices. Just what I got from the post.

m444w
03-08-2011, 08:58 AM
Someone mind quoting this Emeradan post?

If they aren't letting katanas or claids without weighting, when they have done so under many of these systems before, that's a joke...

Of course if anything is consistent with GS, it is inconsistency.

Fallen
03-08-2011, 09:02 AM
The blink certificate will mimic the previously released items as far as enchant and metal (5x and mithglin). Beyond that, the weapon base will be cleared by the Dev SGM (currently SGM Mestys) before creation, and then (most likely) will include a custom description. It's always a good idea to have an alternate weapon base just in case the first (or second, or third, or whatever) is declined.

Notice that I didn't mention how many may be floating around. I'm not really sure why.

The more of these found, the lesser the value.

Cauldrons, splitting weapons, Nalea gowns, forehead gems, all been taking a hit as the supply becomes greater. Simple economics.

I wish I had a reason to have one but the reason I been selling things is to focus on two highly geared up characters, and getting a blink weapon means going back to 3. Heh.

Heck, I'm gonna be stripping my alts soon as far as containers and crap so i don't keep using them except for spells and healing.

That very well may be the case. If the first couple go maul, the last couple won't be able to. Best to get in first.

don't think there are bandos like that, but there were a couple quivers that duped whatever arrow you put in it.

But yeah, a blink quiver would make more sense. Blink quiver plz.

Ahh ok I thought I remembed someone back in the day having a bandolier or some such for hurled weapons based upon the primary item dropped in. It would make copies that poofed after used. I wanted to say one was used by Boomsplat but chances are I'm crazy/retarded as it's been several years.

You got to choose the weapon base to put in the bandolier but you weren't able to put a scripted weapon in a bandolier as the crumbliness is already a script.

I think the criteria you're going to end up with are going to be the usual criteria: the weapon isn't going to be allowed to double up on properties that they aren't normally allowed to double up on. It's a simple matter of mechanics: your blink weapon isn't going to also be heavily crit weighted, and you aren't going to be able to do something else to it that would take up the script spot either, (no blink weapon on a string, boohoo).

These are still awesome weapons though. I think some people are asking for insane when crazy will do just fine, and for the right character classes, blink weapons are crazy-effective.

So... what do you need to start playing again?

The two other people who retracted said that might rebid. I'm not going to drop the price, if no one ends up buying it I'll just make a maul or a fist-scythe and sell that eventually. Yes, a fist-scythe. Monks! OMG RSN!

Speaking of which, how does one get a string? Last event that had them was....CCF? Can you even buy one with PP? I've wanted one and no doubt many others do, but it always seems like the same people have held one or another. I know the rarity is high, but how high?

Yes, of course. However the script that is "the string" has been used before and since, correct? There certainly is more than a single returner out there. Kerl had an 8x one, now has a 10x for example. So, that wasn't a script that could be added at CCF? Okay, at least I know what I know now. No way in hell will I afford a string unless they release more via raffle or something.

No. The ethereal strings are something a bit more than your average returner script. The string makes the weapon a returner and gives it AS boosting abilities. There are a number of returners out there--some for fairly reasonable prices--but there are only 2 strings, one of which Kerl has used and the other of which is in Kerl's possession, waiting for a worthy weapon.

in the elore review 409 and 415 are going to get pretty sexy if you've got 20 ranks of fire lore. bit of a stretch, but a rogue could do it post cap.

The weapon casts the spell exactly as you would cast it. That means you CS, your lores, your whatever the spell would take from you. The only difference is that you don't use your mana. The lower level the spell, the more likely it is to flare.

seems best in the case of a rogue is either 119/417 hasted twc (while blessed), would be fairly nasty and i'd almost consider giving up my 35 lb 10x heavy damage padded scripted spiked altered full plate...almost....maybe for if i had both spells and both weapons (2 scimitar combination)

117 would be cast at the critter, the clear choice for a rogue is 410

I think he meant 119 and 417.

Dual dispel if you manage to get both flares on the same critter.

1) That quiver is MIA as far as the market is concerned.
2) The scripts would conflict anyway, and make it impossible.

That quiver not being mine is the worst thing ever.

Heh, I don't either, i'd have to get someone to make me a perfect hammer....

Enchant it to 7x myself

Buy enough prem points to get it to 10x

Add flares...

Do I really want to spend a year for +6% DF and the string bonus when i got a 10x hammer already is the question. I think I done with my project pieces for awhile, hopefully the string gets used well, but there are only a few things worth putting it on unless you go the route i just said, and the money your putting into it, makes it worth less than you paid for it.

501 for a wizard makes damn good sense

501 maul anyone?

also for ranger, if you're capped, would 607 be a good idea?

or 906?

honestly if you had a wizard slave that gave haste before the hunt, you could do a 702 maul.

The coolest thing about these weapons is that the flare can be switched, so people can experiment with all kinds of options. It'll be fun to watch what people come up with in the coming months.

Agreed. Base is FAR more an important choice than spell use. Unless you're absolutely sure you would never consider selling the weapon, this should be your primary consideration when purchasing a certificate. You can't go wrong with a Short Sword, Lance, or a Maul.

I could be mistaken, but I believe Kerl's current strung weapon is a perfectly forged 10x HCW handaxe, so I would imagine a permablessed weapon is what he would want to get to put the other string on. Considering he also has the best shield in the game (something along the lines of a... 10x +10 TD with self knowledge 1609 towershield) I doubt he plans on doing THC hurling.

It would seem like being able to hunt both normal and undead is the route he would want to go... finding a nice permabless or blessable weapon would complete his incredible set.

droit
03-10-2011, 02:43 PM
No, the stringed axe is permablessed, not HCW. A 10x perfect permablessed returning AS-boosting handaxe, i.e. the best hurling weapon in the game.

I do not have a 10x +10 TD shield, though I do have a nice warding shield of comparable value to what you describe. I think you're thinking of Lucos, though I suspect his isn't a greatshield, but it is 10x and +10. And let me know if you see a 10x hcw handaxe please? (the one I have is more like what you're describing as what I would want: 10x, perfect and permablessed). I would pay handsomely for a 10x hcw handaxe, or something close to that. Thanks.

And now back to your blinky weapon goodness...

First off I have no idea who had or has that.

But you will be surprised at how often someone will toss gear off or sell it to someone they know before they go away without telling anyone but the person they sell/give it to.

I can say I've gotten a few nice pieces that way. All bought but still kinda nice to get first dibs on occasion.

Selling my character? Pass. Not like Post-capped sorcerers are worth anything anyway.

I'd sell the gear... I think (undecided see above opinion). But I'd never sell the characters, I just don't see a point to that. I've bought characters but that's for the PP's on the account.

If you really want it's not all that hard to cap, or take very long to do. One year tops from start to finish. I've just never had the desire, it's more about goofing off and having fun then a giant grind.
