(Essence of Cleansing Used to Cleanse Green Steel Accories so you can wear more than 1 at a time)
Ok all the tier 3 Special Effects have been found.. Find them at the bottom of the Shard upgrade post below (click here).
Also we keep getting several questions over and over in the thread because its soooo long for people to search through, see the following Q&A List.
================================================== ================================
Answers to common questions (Thanks Willphase for providing answers to PMed questions)
================================================== ================================
- All the recipes for Green steel items have been uncovered - there is no secret special rapier or greataxe etc. recipe.
- Multiple shards combinations only work on the third upgrade .
- There are no 3 shard recipes.
- Only Multiple shards creating a known Aspect will combine.
- Combining Single Focus Shards (eg 2 x positive to make a positive super shard) is not expected to yield anything special, except pehaps a waste of 12 valuable large ingredients.
- It is beleived that only shards created with the with the same gem and essence will successfully combine at the altar of Devastation.
- If you chose a single focus upgrade path the only way to unlock your 3rd tier specail bonus is to add a Supreme shard of the same focus e.g. you put fire at tier 1 and fire at tier 2, you have to add a fire shard to the third tie to gain your specila bonus.
- If you have an item with a mixed focus aspect (ie not fire fire, positive, positive etc) Then only by adding a "Super" Shard at the 3rd Altar (Devastation) that matches the existing elemental aspect (e.g. 'Aspect of ...' on the item description) will you unlock the tier 3 special bonus effect. e.g. you put Fire at tier 1 and Negative at Tier 2, you must add an Ash shard. Exception: Balance of Land and Sky requires a Tempered Shard, and Tempered requires a Balance of Land and Sky shard.
- When combining Supreme Shards, the dominant element will be determined by the following order: Water, Fire, Earth, Air, Positive, Negative E.g. Fire beats Positive. e.g. Positive beats Negative. Exception: Air beats Water. The dominant element determines the tier 3 effect. E.g. it's not possible to get Good Blast on a mineral II weapon.
- Interesting Fact: You do not have to get a bonus effect at tier 3 if you don't want to e.g. you could go Positive Dominion Material then Earth Dominion Material then Positive Dominion Material and end up with a +5 holy acid burst weapon of good blast with no bonus effect - if you really really wanted Good Blast over Acid Blast, Transmuting, Keen, Slicing... (save yourself 12 ingredients!)
