Bump to OP: the guide still says that cleansing an item does not bind it, which is not true anymore.

Hrm thought I fixed that...will check and update thanks..

Check your GS Kama damage too... I think it'd still 1d6 rather than 1d8.

Curious if it has been confirmed if Dust II on a weapon is working correctly, working incorrectly, or does nothing.

A response with a pic would be nice, if not I will finish up my dust II shuriken (yea I know, I had lots of leftovers) and post the pic.

Dust II is working properly. There has been a few picture posted. I could link you to them, but the pictures are no longer hosted by where they were posted.

But yes, it works now. My friend Inspire has one. Dust II on accessories has been confirmed as well.

works correctly, made a ss for my rogue the other week.

Does 500+ disintegrate damage, no save, makes the same sound as casting the spell...a bit harder to catch when it goes off than lightning strike (which is pretty obvious).

I can try to get a pic tmrw for ya.

If you are making a tier 3 shuriken are you going to be adding a blast dmg for the 3rd tier? We know that the blast dmg from a confirmed natural 20 does not currently worth with bows but works with melee weapons, it would be nice to know if blast dmg is working with any of the other range weapons or if they are all broken.

Blast dmg not working on bows is in the known issues list but I suspect that blast dmg is not working for any of the ranged weapons and would like some more confirmations. I had one report of a different ranged weapon not getting blast dmg but it was more of a weapon that a friend heard was not working and there was not a log showing the lack of blast dmg like I posted a while ago.

I'm sure I heard guildies saying they were getting their Shocking Blast damage on their Lightning Strike bows.

[Turial]

Interesting shortsword you have there. I like the disintegrate damage it puts out.

[Ikuryo]

I'll take my bow out later and confirm but last time I checked I was getting good burst x2 from my lightning 2 bow but no shocking blast. On a natural 20 that is confirmed that a bolt does not land from I should see 6 numbers or so. I'll check if I'm getting 6 numbers now instead of the 4 I was getting before.

Should get:
Base dmg
shock dmg
pure good dmg
good burst dmg
shock blast dmg
shock blast 20 dmg

thanks for confirming Dust II

on A side note, Did some experimentation with pure Negative weapons, seeing what would and what would not imbue a negative lv when equipped.

First weapon: Dwarven Axe

tier 1 = negative energy absorption
tier 2 = Evil burst
tier 3 = strength +2
No negative level imbued when equipped

Second weapon: Rapier

tier 1 = evil(2d6)
tier 2 = strength +1
ter 3 = AC +4
Bestows 1 negative level when equipped

Conclusion: as long as a weapon does not have its tier 1 upgrade as unholy(2d6), the weapon will NOT bestow a negative level when equipped.

P.S. I did take time to search the forums looking for the answers to Dust II and to pure Negative weapons before, but did not find any satisfactory answers. hope this helps.

[Ikuryo]

Just a small thing but tier 2 is pure evil burst not unholy burst. There is a difference in the dmg they do.

Due to the length of this post, I thought I'd ask for a few questions that seem to be missing:

Can anyone confirm of the healing amplifications stack for tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3?

On the Dust Effect, how often does the disintegrate effect proc, 1%?

Concordant Opposition weapons - Does it proc when you hit or when hit like worn items?

[Tanka]

Can anyone confirm of the healing amplifications stack for tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3?

It won't stack. It's the same type of bonus, and the only bonuses of the same type that ever stack are Dodge bonuses.

On the Dust Effect, how often does the disintegrate effect proc, 1%?

1-2%, around the same amount as any of the other damaging effects proc.

Concordant Opposition weapons - Does it proc when you hit or when hit like worn items?

When you're hit, just like Guard items or like the Torc from DQ.

[Ikuryo]

I just checked once more on my lightning 2 bow and I'm not getting blast dmg. In fact I'm getting some odd reported affects.

The bow is a Shock Pure Good Burst Shocking Blast bow. I should be getting

Base Dmg
Shock Dmg
Pure Good Dmg
Good Burst Dmg
Shock Burst Dmg
Shock Blast Dmg for a natural 20.

When I roll a 20 to hit and confirm the critical. Instead I'm getting

Base Dmg
Shock Dmg
Pure good Dmg
Good burst dmg
Shock Burst Dmg

So it looks like its still broken for both of my bows. I really hope they can figure out whats wrong and fix it in the next patch. Whenever that is. I would also like to say that I really miss the WDA. It was nice to see what they were working on...

[Depravity]

Greatly random brainfart while at work - has anyone tried putting a big pile of horns into the meridia altar, maybe with a power cell?
I'm thinking something along the lines of the shard-->crystal deal.

[Ikuryo]

If your guildies are getting blast dmg on their bows and are not confusing it with the lightning strike could you ask them HOW they made their bows? Did they do shock then pure good or holy then shocking burst? My bow is shock then good burst so I'm trying to narrow down the number of variables.

I am certain has been asked but i'd like an answer anyway:

When I am crafting my tier 3 with dual focus does it make any difference at all whether the NON-dominant shard is Dominion, Escalation, or Opposition? I want to go with Dominion just because i can save myself a large stone.

Yes, it does. You have to use the same essence and gem on both shard, but varying the foci.

Since I'm way to lazy to read all 140ish pages of this post I will simply ask if anyone knows this:

A friend of mine made a Mineral II Rapier today. According to the Special Upgrades for Tier 3 chart Positive is the Dominant shard in the dual shard combo, but when he upgraded the dominant shard was earth (granting acid blast instead of good blast). Not sure if I'm reading the chart wrong or there is a typo...
