Nice man!

[Fallen]

Very cool.

[Donquix]

'@destroyer that's right. Bitches get fucked.

[Ugotfaced]

Now, how often does that happen?

[DoctorUnne]

Now, how often does that happen?

I heard 1 in 9, but it seems like it happens more often. Then again, I get hit all the time, so maybe not.

[audioserf]

That's really cool and fits nicely with your ultra-physical build. What a great item.

I heard 1 in 9, but it seems like it happens more often. Then again, I get hit all the time, so maybe not.

The info on Krakii, and player scuttlebut is wrong. Neither the shatter or disarm ability has a standard frequency of 1 in 9.

It's based on the Strength/Durability difference of the attacking weapon compared to the Adamantine, as well as an additional hidden/unknown factor. The "weaker" the attacking weapon, the higher the frequency.

Both of those things were confirmed by a GM when I owned them not too long ago.

(I also posted this info in the previous thread that it just sold in, as well as my own sale thread)


edit: In fact, if someone with Krakii editing powers could fix the blurb, that'd be great. If necessary/wanted, I can try and dig up the log of the conversation with the GM to have that added for verification.

edit2: But then again.. everybody knows I have a bevy of GM wives. So everything I say about GS should be like unto gospel, yes?!

[nichelas]

Good to see this out there still kicking ass. Steel weapons shatter relatively frequently - not sure what the metrics are, but there are definitely differences between the material and shatter success rate.

Done.

[Archigeek]

If Drew hasn't done it already, send me your log etc, any background info and I can do the update.

[Drew]

I just updated with the info he provided. If you want to post a log or whatever go ahead.

No, I think that should do it. Since you have the armor, you're the perfect guy to update it based on what you learn. I'll stick to hurling and rift info for the time being.

Love that armor though. Had a chance to play with the shield a little and it's good entertainment. Would be fun invasion armor: wade into a crowd and let them swing.

You ask, "Tell me you know what adamantine is?"
You ask, "And what it does?"
Alyias says, "So. You've been tagging Krakiipedia for your knowledge."
Alyias says, "Quite, yes."
You say, "Cool."
Alyias says, "And let me say 1 in 9 would be amazing, if that were truly the case."
You say, "Yeah, and some testing on my own."
Alyias winks at you.
You glance over at Alyias and wince.
Alyias says, "Which it's not."
You say, "Um."
You say, "Gee."
You hang your head.
You say, "Can you be..."
You ask, "A little more specific?"
You say, "Obviously not the exact.."
You say, "But um.."
Alyias says, "A..little."
Alyias nods.
You ask, "A more.. helpful range?"
Alyias says, "I'll say this..."
Alyias says, "It's highly dependanton the breakage factors of the weapon hitting your shield."
You say, "OH."
Alyias says, "And some random seeds."
Alyias says, "All I can say."
You ask, "So that % (both disarm and shatter) will change.. bsed on how strong it is in relation to the blocked/struck attacker's weapon?"
You nod.
Alyias stares off into space.
You say, "Wheee."
You say, "Ok."
You say, "I'll shut up."
Alyias winks at you.
You say, "I was still typing."
You say, "Figured I'd finish."
Alyias nods.
You say, "(and hope)"
You gaze in wonder at your surroundings.
Alyias starts chortling.
You nod.
Alyias says, "Let me assure you, however, that your shield is indeed operating exactly how it should."
Alyias says, "As are all adamantine shields."
You say, "That explains why that damn glaes maul didn't do anything."
Alyias nods.
You nod.
Alyias says, "Yea, Try a bronze dagger."
You say, "I r disappoint."
You say, "BUT."
Alyias says, "Might have a better result."
You say, "Glad you could... be less vague."

[DoctorUnne]

Ok, well I can do some testing with different weapon bases and materials to see what the frequencies are. I'll post again when I get some results.

[DoctorUnne]

Thanks for Mohrgan for the help testing. Here is what I found.

Steel dagger (18/195) - 5 shatters in 24 hits (21%)
Steel rapier (30/100) - 5 shatters in 47 hits (11%)
Steel handaxe (70/160) - 5 shatters in 22 hits (23%)
Vultite handaxe (80/200) - 0 shatters in 53 hits (0%)

Clearly I need to do more testing because the steel handaxe numbers make no sense. Probably the rapier numbers were unlucky and the steel handaxe numbers were lucky. Still though the numbers suggest better than 1 in 9 for most weapons which is great.

I'm also surprised the vultite didn't bounce at all. I wasn't expecting it to break but I was expecting it to bounce off. Oh well good thing monsters don't have vultite weapons!
