I think I have the "basic upgrade" tables complete. Can anyone check my work for errors?
Thanks.

1) Do the effects on Weapons for Material / X / Opposition stack for Tiers 1,2 and 3?
i.e. Do Fire Absorption 10%, 15% and 20% stack for a total of 45% absoption, or just 20% (highest value)

2) Same for "Inherent Resist" effects on Items for Material / X / Opposition for Tiers 2 and 3?
i.e. Do Inherent Fire Resist 5 and 10 stack for a total of 15 Resist, or just 10 (highest value)

3) Do Lesser Regen, Improved Regen, and Greater Regen stack for 7 hp/min?
i.e. (15 seconds x 4) + (30 seconds x 2) + (1 min x 1) = 7 / minute.

My absorb electric stacks fine. It also stacks with ring of djinn also. Note though, I only went on to get the tier 2 upgrade though for haste.
So from that would asume that the others stack also, and that fire greaves also stacks.

Reports that they do ...

Interested in how they stack FAI + FAII or FAI and then FAII?
How do they Stack with Greaves and Spell?

Could it be 45% (GS) + 30%? (Item) + 50% (Spell) = IMMUNE or is it ~80%

2) Same for "Inherent Resist" effects on Items for Material / X / Opposition for Tiers 2 and 3?
i.e. Do Inherent Fire Resist 5 and 10 stack for a total of 15 Resist, or just 10 (highest value)

The description indicates that they do ... would like to verify

3) Do Lesser Regen, Improved Regen, and Greater Regen stack for 7 hp/min?
i.e. (15 seconds x 4) + (30 seconds x 2) + (1 min x 1) = 7 / minute.

They do not

Really want to know about Absorption ...

[Xaxx]

probably just the random number generator. If you watch you can get more 1s in a row than you'll ever see in real life. And some nights are just horrid like that. other nights can be 20's a plenty.

edit: oh great.. now I'm doing ninja posts in here.

i chalked it up to random number generation myself the first few test runs... but it happens quite often (atleast 60% of my test runs) theres random, and then there comes a time when you just have to wonder and ask "hey is there smething to this", hence askign if anyone else has seen anything in a pattern like it.

I didnt ask for a comment from the peanut gallery about random numbers.

*I know I came off snide with that last remark, but I posted looking for info from people who have these weapons who might have seen or not seen something relevant to my question not as i said comments from the peanut gallery*

Is it possible to get Deathblock (or any Negative focus) on a Devestation Bonus (Tier 3 Bonus, Aspect II, etc) Item?

This would really help in understanding how far along we are in the process

PS: A cryptic, unclear, and possibly unassociated answer would be ideal

If you want Deathblock on a 3rd tier upgrade, you either have to go straight N-N-N, or forgo having a tier 3 bonus, because the Negative is submissive to Positive and all of the Elements when combined on a supershard.

If the idea of "precedence" is true, then someone has to be at the bottom and overridden by all others. That would be "Negative." Which means the answer would be 'no.'

Which is why, although it appears that there is "precedence", I still think maybe, somehow, there is something we're missing, and there is no precedence.

Tested:
Fire - Negative: Fire is dominant
Air - Negative: Air is dominant
Water - Negative: Water is dominant
Positive - Negative: Positive is dominant

Untested:
Earth - Negative: ?

It's so unlikely that Negative will dominate Earth, and it would be the only break in the pattern so far.

Yeah, I know the results. I just think maybe we're missing something very subtle (or so obvious we can't see it) that would allow for the Negative trait to be applied, somehow. I have no idea what that would be, but.... just sayin.

[borgec]

I too am interested in this combination. Can someone confirm if they think this combination will work?

Thanks in Advance

Been trying to follow this thread as time permits and have tried to keep up with what's what. However, if one of the "crafting experts" can check this out to see if I'm understanding things correctly I'd appreciate it.

My plan is to go EEE + PEE on a greenweave item:

Tier 1: EEE
Wizardry VI
+1 to WIS Skills

Tier 2: PEE
+50 Spell Points
+2 CHA Skills

Tier 2 Bonus: Aspect of Mineral
Stoneskin *2

Tier 3: Combined Imbued Shard EEE + PEE (Mineral II)
Heavy Fortification
+5 Protection

Please let me know if that looks correct or not.

Perhaps brute force, so to speak. Overload the weaker elemental focus when joining two supreme shards by adding another focus into the recipe (energy cell + supreme shard ABC + supreme shard ABX + superior focus of X).

I don't think there's been a lot of experimentation with the double supreme shard formula since it was discovered, and justifiably so given the absurd amount of large ingredients involved.

Which is dominant between fire and water? I may try to get an extra focus ready for my quad element goggles.

Looks correct. You'll also get +100 SP and +3 wisdom skills at tier 3 from the earth-dominant EEE/+EE shard.

If you want Deathblock on a 3rd tier upgrade, you either have to go straight N-N-N, or forgo having a tier 3 bonus, because the Negative is submissive to Positive and all of the Elements when combined on a supershard.

According to our current theory. Which is why he asked the devs. (I normally hate the whole "I only want a Dev response" attitude, but in this case it's an accurate one.)

The "One Focus is Dominant" theory seems accurate given the data we have so far, but there may be something (like combining shards itself) that we're simply not seeing yet that allows the "other focus" to be made dominant.

So, I'd really like to hear the dev's response to this Yes/No (That's all we need, really, yes or no) question:

Can you get Deathblock (or any other negative effect) and a Third Tier Quasi/Special Bonus on the same greensteel item?

[Tallyn]

Is anyone who reads this thread even close to trying Balance of Land and Sky + Tempered? (In either order)

I'm just curious, I am so far away in large ingredients right now, as I upgraded my shortsword to Mineral II last night. But I'm very interested in this one. Just want to know if anyone is close. Anyone in Kargon's guild?

Not really.

So far, we've got Earth > Fire > Air > Water > Positive > Negative as a simple line of dominance.

But what if it's actually a circle of dominance, like so:

hum... if finding something to upgrade is a problem for you, maels, i've got a BoLaS khopesh that could use a tempered upgrade of course, I don't have 2 supreme shards yet either

Kargon is a 1 man guild he has no one else in his guild... If your refering to NSR why the hell are we expect to be the main testers for all the items? why dont' u take the bullet and test alittle something out. or u can just keep doing the good old stanby and only doing what's known.

[Tanks]

Hi all,

Based upon my Khopesh recipe which I posted yesterday to tier2, I have the following:

-EM (+6str) - Tier 1
+DM (Good Burst) - Tier2
Existential Stalemate (+6wis, +10haggle/diplo) - Tier2 bonus

I like what I've done so far but fear that I may have painted myself into a corner regarding the Tier3 bonus effect, even if I supershard it. Can anyone tell me what my options are for a bonus Tier3 effect, based upon what my Tier1/2 choices have been? I'd love to have transmuting (Mineral), for example, or Lightning Strike...any chance for any of those on the weapon I've crafted?

Thanks in advance (and for the responses to my prior post)!

If you look at the folks posting results, some of the more vocal ones have been from Kargon and NSR (tbh, I was under the impression that Kargon might actually be in NSR based on the banter in most of the previous posts) ..

Easy tiger! Some of us would be willing to test things if we had the time to collect large ingredients, so take a deep breath and calm down Asking if others have done something yet, or are close to doing something doesn't necessarily make them a lemming..

In my case, my playtimes lately haven't been allowing me to get into pt4 or pt5 nearly as often as I would need to collect 2 supreme shards and 24 ingredients to test out BoLaS + Tempered (I'm 22 ingredients and 2 supreme shard short if that tells you anything ), but that doesn't mean that I'm not interested in finding out what folks that do have that kind of time and resources can come up with.
