Arcane Blast 1700 Released

[Whirlin]

Free 0 mana spell for nubsikins. Perfect for little pures

Gonna do some testing on it

[droit]

A new level 0 spell called Arcane Blast (1700) has been released. All Pures (Wizards, Clerics, Empaths, Sorcerers, and Savants) will have innate knowledge of this spell and can simply PREPARE 1700 or ARCANEBLAST (or INCANT) to cast it. It requires no mana to cast, but does subject the caster to 5 seconds of roundtime. If cast from stance defensive or guarded, it cast a warding attack at the target. If cast from a higher stance, it will cast a bolt attack at the target. Holy Receptacle (325), Magic Item Creation (420), Haste (506), Rapid Fire (515), Charge Item (517), and Scroll Infusion (714) do not work with this spell.

It is our hope that this new ability will allow our players to play their characters as a caster from the start instead of relying on physical weapons due to mana constraints. We've updated the sprite quest to inform new characters of this new ability.

[elcidcannon]

Seems like a pretty well implemented idea.

[Gelston]

It is definitely a great idea. You could actually be a pure from level 0 and not have to rely on wands when you reach 0 mana. Why it took them until 2015 to come out with it...

[Astray]

It appears to be more of a pure damage spell rather than a 'I want to break bones' spell. For zero mana, it works. Very big boon for pures.

Is there a level cap?

[Nathala Crane]

That's actually a pretty nifty addition for low level casters.

[ElevenElven]

In before the edit to 1700...

Before it requires an Arcane Blast pass.

[Gorex]

Seems like it can have some uses for higher level characters too.. ran out of mana trying to recover a weapon for example.

True, it could work nice as a backup for my wizard when, say, he's out of mana and Leech would pose too much of a risk. Or something. I dunno! Gonna go play my wizard nao~

[Androidpk]

Gotta say Simu is off to a great start this year development wise. Can't wait to see what else comes out this year.

[Malisai]

This is pretty great. Amazing really.

[Nathala Crane]

Dude, yes. This works great. Now I can stop carrying around iron/silver wands for those awkward moments when I can't get it up.

[Aluvius]

Yeah, this is a pretty damn amazing change for pures.

[Whirlin]

Based on my testing, Damage factors and AvD appears to be in line with 901 when cast as a bolt, and 1201 when cast as a CS spell. Not exactly high damage numbers, but good in a pinch.

[elcidcannon]

Not exactly high damage numbers, but good in a pinch.

Probably exactly what it was meant to be. Color me impressed.

[mgoddess]

This is amazingly brilliant, and something that a LOT of people have been wanting for a LONG time. Well done Simu!

[Whirlin]

Confirmed on officials that it's 901/1201 equations

[ElevenElven]

Thought this was really cool, they already thought of making sure noobies who don't read the website know about this spell:

The sprite says, "Well, here we are! I just have one more bit of advice for you before we begin our search for the terrible beast."

>
The sprite says, "When we find the hideous creature, it will be time to attack! To do that, you just need to ATTACK the creature. If you know a spell and would like to try using it, you'll first have to PREPARE the spell by number, then once it is fully prepared, you will CAST AT the creature."

The sprite says, "As a caster, you have innate knowledge of the Arcane Blast (1700) spell. It's not very powerful and requires a few seconds to perform, but it requires no mana to cast. To use this ability, simply INCANT 1700 while in front of the creature. It will have different effects when cast from different stances."

[Nathala Crane]

It's basically a D&D style cantrip. It is the Ray of Frost of GS4. And I am okay with this. <3

The RT is a nice tradeoff, hehe, and of course ensures free Rapid Fire spam is a no go. As cool as that would be.

5 seconds seems unnecessary though. Forced 3 sec hard RT would have been enough. But, still a great change either way.

[Herachio]

It works with flaring runestaves though, so if you get a 0x flaring staff you end up getting more damage over time because of the flares. Now just need to find some 0x flaring staves.

does anyone want a 0x flaring runestaff? only charging 250k!

If you're buying from a player in person, they'll typically tell you. Shops are a little more of a gamble but if you use the lich playershop site, you can narrow down your search.

[Herachio]

Right now it shouldn't be that hard to find some 1x ones with all the stuff from Duskruin. Not sure about any 0x ones for level 0-2 (but that goes by fast even without Lumnis for F2P) but you can hold the 1x at 3 and then switch that to a 4x flaring one at 10 which there are tons of.

Disregard previous damage formula.

A weaker version of the spell was initially released and has since been updated to align with 1201's effectiveness.

[Tgo01]

Haste and rapid fire don't affect this spell.

BOO!

[Fallen]

Very nice. I think it would still be more effective to swing for the first 20 levels, but makes the other path far less tedious.

So if it's as effective as first level spells... what's the point of first level spells?

[audioserf]

First level spells don't induce 5 seconds of hard RT, and can be rapidfired. There's definitely a place for 1700 in the game and I'm glad pures will have a fighting chance without swinging weapons for 30 days.

[Viekn]

So if it's as effective as first level spells... what's the point of first level spells?

Well you can rapid fire 901, and being that rapid fire 901 is a major hunting strategy for some in later levels, that's still a very useful spell.

[Fallen]

702 destroys this spell. I'm sure Bane/Smite does as well. Regardless, now you can cast 702/etc once and finish with 1700.

That being said, it would be nice if you could channel this spell with both open hands for even more power. Keep or extend the RT and it'd still be conditionally worth it.

[LivderaDeralleur]

Damn. This is great. I just rolled up a pure spell casting Empath over the weekend and it was painful to hunt. I always dreaded hunting up any Pure caster to a decent amount of mana - might be why I always preferred Semis. Now it won't be so painful to hunt, I hope, if I have this as a backup.

It does...but... At young levels you run out of mana quick. This still allows for extra hunting. I don't think they need the 5 second hard RT and could have been just fine with the 3 second Hard RT like channeling. Oh well. It's definitely good progress and shows things are changing for now.

[Nathala Crane]

The 5 sec RT does seem excessive, but still. My wizard is only 18 and I'd still find myself wasting mana or wand charges to finish off a creature low on health. If nothing else, this spell pretty much eliminates that and I'm grateful for it.

[Androidpk]

For a free spell that costs no mana to cast the 5 second RT is a fair way to balance the spell.

[Ashliana]

Astounding.

I got the notification in the middle of a travel guide escort. Good stuff for sure.

That rt will get real old pretty fast, I'd imagine.

[Donquix]

That rt will get real old pretty fast, I'd imagine.

swinging in general, and specifically claidhs, will still be far and away faster on average in your first 30.

BUT, for rp purposes, or just if you have more fun being a pure in general, you can now at least do SOMETHING.

3 seconds hard RT seems like it would have been enough, made it not such a big of a loss of efficiency compared to just swinging but, close enough. The fact that it can be a CS or AS spell was a nice touch.

[Whirlin]

3s wouldn't have been any penalty compared to the spell at that level... not like 3s of hard RT is gonna kill you at level retarded

Unless you're a bard, you can't identify much of anything. If you loot a staff and want to ID it, get a bard. Otherwise, look at sales posts here, or post a wanted ad here, or watch for things being sold on the merchant channel of lnet, or search the player shops and hope you get an honest shop owner, or one that IDs his stuff before putting it on the shelf.

You're missing the point.

[Thondalar]

For a free spell that costs no mana to cast the 5 second RT is a fair way to balance the spell.

On the one hand I would like to agree with the 3 sec hard RT-camp...make it basically the same as almost every other spell cast (with the 3 secs anyway, not necessarily the hard part)...but the 0 mana requirement pretty much trumps any complaint I could have about it. 5 secs is the same or better than swinging 2-handers without outside help...sure, the damage done is a lot less than a claid, but it would certainly be the right thing to do RP-wise, or for people who want to build their character as a pure from the start with basically zero "special gear" or trying to shove in as much time as possible in the first 30 days.

People will still bitch because people are people, but really, this is a total positive. It works for those who will want to use it, and won't matter for those that don't.

Also a lot of new players probably aren't familiar with the Abandoned Inn Crystal which can identify many properties (at least in general) of items. If anyone is interested I'd suggest looking it up on the wikia, it can be invaluable for folks in the WL area. There's even an "ai" script on the lich repository that makes it very simple to use.

What point am I missing, exactly?

My comment was in response to this:

1700 will be effective in supplementing a hunt, not being your primary hunting spell. Even still, i'd like to see it's power increased at the cost of more risk to the caster.

It's power should probably be slightly increased as a bolt spell since it has significantly more risk to the caster than normal bolt spells. 901 used is prepped in guarded, cast in offensive and instantly back to guarded. 1700 is prepped in guarded, cast in offensive, and then you stand there for 5 seconds in offensive as a pure... much more risky!

1700 cast as a warding spell is fine due the lack of risk by using it in guarded stance.

[Astray]

1700 isn't meant to be a replacement, it's purely supplemental and I feel that they've countered potential abuse by giving it so many limitations. That said, I feel that 5 seconds of hard RT is rather dangerous if you're a bolter. It seems to sort of hammer Wizards the hardest.

[Allereli]

In response to concerns that the release of Arcane Blast (1700) has provided a decided mechanical advantage to low-level Pures (Wizards, Clerics, Empaths, Sorcerers, and Savants), we have also released the new Physical Blast (2000) spell. All Squares (Warriors, Rogues) and Semis (Paladins, Monks, Rangers, and Bards) will have innate knowledge of this spell. Like Arcane Blast, it requires no mana to cast, but it does require that one be holding a weapon or using an open hand, and will subject the caster to 4+ seconds of roundtime depending on their weapon size and encumbrance.

When cast from an offensive stance, Physical Blast will attempt to swing your weapon or fist at the target, resulting in an AS vs. DS check with other factors such as AvD and a random dice roll contributing to success/failure. Casts from lower stances will see a decided AS penalty.

Due to its largely physical nature, Physical Blast will be invoked using the ATTACK verb. We hope that this release will finally give squares and semis a needed tool to keep up with pures.

Considering normal runestaff flares are what, 1 in 8 casts. And best case scenario, rot flares are 1 in 3 casts with heavy Necromancy lore training. So you're spending 15 seconds (3 casts at 5 seconds of RT per) to cause 45 points of damage (spell + rot flare) and every second to third 15 second period, you're also adding in a normal flare (+25 damage on the high end). Or, you could probably deal 100+ damage in 3 seconds of cast roundtime for any normal mid to high level attack spell. I'm sure we can all come up with a long list of inferior and slow hunting methods if you really love them.

so i'm totally on your side on the whole "your runestaff is too expensive" deal. price it at whatever you want and who cares what anyone else thinks. if you want 200m for it, you don't have to offer it up for any less than that.

but

you posting a log whenever it flares nicely (in multiple threads) is really quite annoying. why don't you create a brand new thread, that i'm not subscribed to, devoted strictly to your runestaff flares.

thanks. actually i'm highlighting the potentialities of the new 1700 spell. sure it's self serving. but actually droves of fans are PMing me in appreciation. so i see your view as valid but merely as that of a vocal minority.

Quoted for historical accuracy. Subzero, tell us how many the word 'droves' implies?

I call bullshit and request a screenshot of your inbox. Or - I will accept three people (I'm assuming your definition of drove is at least three) coming forward and backing your claim that they have PM'd you.

Otherwise, your argument that I am the vocal minority is completely and utterly baseless.

I read that Wikipedia, and stopped when they defined rape as man on woman, and not the other way around, or any same-gender. I then facepalmed and shook my head in disbelief.

Even if it is "any number greater than 1", SubZero's assessment it pretty spot-on.

Off the top of my head, it's probably because it was considered a property crime only in the case when the victim is female (and not the perpetrator's wife or slave).

It gets more complex than this though and classical law isn't the model of all present practice.

You must be in the running for leadership of the "I've Got to be the Biggest Piece of Shit in this Community for 10+ Years" club. If not, you have my vote anyway.

Arcane Blast (1700) now uses EVOKE to cast the bolt version.

You can also type INCANT SET EVOKE 1700, then INCANT 1700 will always EVOKE, thus casting the bolt version.

GameMaster Estild

and


You can also type INCANT 1700 EVOKE, and that will cast the bolt version once without changing any settings.
