Stone of Change - Eldritch Rituals Cookbook

[Ilandrya]

In my above examples, I do wonder about one thing though. For example:

fire/fire/fire results in one thing because you get fire/fire at second and fire/fire at third
fire/fire/air in another because you get fire/fire at second and fire/air at third
fire/air/fire in another because you get fire/air at second and fire/fire at third

In the last two examples, I wonder if the second level fire/fire has a different bonus than the third level fire/fire. Just like each altar imparts differnent things, what level you take the combo may do different things.

In other words, say for example you have earth/fire at the second tier, you get magma I.

But, at the third tier, suppose you don't have magma I, if you have the earth/fire combination for the third tier, do you get magma II, or do you get magma I? In other words, is the strength of the combo dependant upon whether it was done at tier 2 or tier 3, or is the strength of the combo dependant upon if you have the earlier form or not.

Hey I've been lurking in this thread for a while and wanted to let you all know how much I enjoy reading it and appreciate your efforts. You guys are way ahead of me on this so its great you are sharing your info with everyone.

BTW, I will sacrifice a green steel item in the adamantine ritual (once I get enough shards - 10,000?!!!) in the name of science. In any case, I'm getting close. If you want to donate shards to speed up teh process, you call mail them to Wravven on Ghallanda.

Thanks again!

It should just be the minimum level squared. So 121? 144?

To bind yes but for the admantine ritual I need the soul gems...right?

I was wondering something, has anyone tried 3 identical (like earth + earth + earth) but with the dominion gem for the 3 of them. Just got an idea and wanted to know if it had any lead, or the same but with escalation gem all the way.

Thanks

Yes ... the only thing that seems to matter is the Focus.

If I understand Eladrin correctly...

These hitherto undiscovered para, quasi and special upgrades can only be done at the ALTAR OF DEVESTATION (in other words, "Teir 3" upgrades). Is this correct?

The lingo is throwing me for a loopo.

Teir 1 = invasion altar, Teir 2=Subjugation altar, Teir 3=Devestation altar . Is this the lingo we are using here?

Or are we saying that Teir 1 = chest ingredients, Teir 2=manufactured ingredients, Teir 3 = shard(s) of power into weapon?

I am unsure of the terminology. It would definitely make it easier if we were all on the same page with the "TEIR" lingo! LOL

Does it affect the potentcy of your item/effect if you don't use the same recipie at each level?

In other words, if you use a different combination at the tier 1 and tier 2 altars, do you get the actual 'tier 2' effect still, or do you get the tier 1 effect of whatever the 2nd recipie you used was?

actuamal 'tier 2' so mix away, and find some interestaming combinimatimions for us!

Nothing unexpected there. FYI you can't cast the stoneskin on other people - it's self only.

I tested the acid and holy damage. On a normal hit you get base+acid+holy as can be seen here. On a critical you get base+acid+acidburst+holy as can be seen here.

I hope this helps anyone still deciding on whether to go this route.

If anyone has any guesses what a good 3rd tier upgrade for 'mineral' (pos/earth) is then please let me know

Oh yes. You're right, forgive my brain malfunction.

Unfortunately, different people seem to be using those two sets of tiers interchangeably in different situations at different points in time. Mostly in this thread, though, Tier refers to the three altars.

[Borror0]

A weapon with, say, "Magma I" on it at Tier Two can be upgraded to "Magma II" at Tier Three.

Anyone thought of trying two foci at Devastation?

[MysticTheurge]

Anyone thought of trying to foci at Devastation?

Hmm like to use more than one Imbued Shard?

[Borror0]

Hmm like to use more than one Imbued Shard?

Yes... or using another focus when mixing the shard with the weapon.
Anything that mixes elementals so you can use more than one at the same time.

[Yuhjn]

Well they keep talking about 3 types of 3rd affinity combinations:

para
quasi
special


para is the combination between adjacent elements:
examples are
fire / fire / air
water / earth / water

quasi is combining an element with either positive or negative
examples are
fire / positive / fire
water / negative / negative

The devs have said plainly that "para-quasi" isnt in the game, so we dump the possibility of fire / positive / air and similar

Now we're left with special. But special cannot be para, or quasi, or para-quasi.

That means special must be opposing elements.
examples are
fire / water / fire
earth / earth / air


Now what we need is someone to try it

Well, you've made a "quasi-elemental" weapon, which means to continue to unlock it's full potential you need to continue to upgrade it as quasi-elemental... that gives you have 2 choices:

Earth
Positive


Anything else is going to gimp your weapon. (the devs have stated that para-quasi-elemental is not in the game)

I made a pair of Green Steel Bracers tonight and then bound/attuned them.

Still says tainted. When I get enough shards for soulstones I will go forward with the adamantine ritual to see if that removes the taint.

Risk: Probably low probability but there may be a chance that making them Adamantine supresses the green steel characteristics - possibly cleansing it...and also possibly preventing any additional effects on the item - since its adamantine now and not green steel. I'd be surprised if that happened but you never know.
