Suggestions for new Risia recipes

[Saekee]

What are your ideas to buff this event the next time? Here are some from me and other thread contributors:

Some are suggesting that it should be able to go on all weapons and items, including named items (see thread) as this will spark a huge interest in it for epics especially.

New Weapon Recipes for Lootgen

1. Icy Blast: rare purple coin turn in for recipe; 500 Motes of Winter (must follow icy burst)
2. Greater Icy Blast: rare purple coin turn in for recipe; 1000 Motes of winter (must follow Icy Blast)
3. Freezing Gale
4. Greater Freezing Gale
5. Freezing Ice (Minor/Normal/Epic for armors)

All weapon recipes can be performed on red augments as well!

New Augments
1. red augment: Avalanche - You occasionally harvest the power of an avalanche x cold damage and x untyped damage from the crushing effects. These would be scalable based on level, with a min level of 16. (via Thalmor)
2. blue augment: A Blue augment that provides ice guard - provides 1D4 cold damage for a level 4 augment, 2D4 cold damage for a level 8 augment. Upto a max of 7D4 for a level 28 augument. (via Thalmor)
3. blue augment: Freezing Ice guard
4. red augment: Freezing Ice; ML 16
5. Diamond Augment of Festival Dexterity +2 (via kilagan800 here)

All glaciation recipes can be performed on white augments!

Augments with Risia crafting will stack with lootgen with Risia crafting! (note: this can be problematic; see thread) So if you pull a lootgen with an augment slot, double up on the Risia crafting by adding the Risia effect on the augment you plan to slot as well as the weapon itself!

New Defensive Recipes

1. Icy Shield: rare purple coin turn in for recipe; 300 motes of Winter (effect: generates Fire Shield: Cold)
2. Icy Shield augment: as above, but on a blue augment (via Thunir in this thread)
3. Freezing Ice Guard (for shields and orbs)
4. Topaz Augment of Slippery Surface Immunity (via kilagan800 here)

Stronger summons
1. Stronger snow elemental (via Nyrvjjn)
2. A yeti! (via Thalmor)

Some themed gear:
Snowsilk Magerobes - ML 24 Outfit
+Scaled Glaciation, +Scaled Insight Glaciation, +Quality Glaciation, Spell Storing (10% SP Discount), Minor Freezing Ice.
Chillwind Wristwraps - ML 24 Bracers
+Scaled DR / Adamantine, + Scaled Cold Resist, Blue Augment Slot, Green Augment Slot.
Warwreath - ML 24 Necklace

Icy cosmetics would be fun! As for the weapon buffs, I haven't dealt with icy recipes in a long time so can't say much as to a need for more.

Any ideas as to what to do for a cosmetic? I think a winter wolf one would be funny for druids...


On another note, Icy burst being shifted up to Greater Icy blast for epic lootgen weapons might seem powerful but I think most builds are running with TF, LGS and named weapons in epics anyway. This would be a nice buff for that rare lootgen with maybe the right DR for specific instances.

A blue Augment that gives Ice Shield Guard.

i agree 100%. been a long time since i could say that.

[Aelonwy]

I just realized, seeing them altogether like that, that essentially I made two light armors (Winter Hide, Winterwolf Hide), a medium armor (Silver Dragon Armor) and a heavy armor (Frozen Plate), not counting the two hoods.

I have always been a big fan of serendipity. It's a nice counterbalance to Murphy's law.

Ok, this isn't so much a new recipe idea as a suggestion to restructure how existing recipes are doled out. I have never been crazy about the fact that higher level coins could end up giving the same reward as a white coin. Would it be crazy to ask that a purple coin only give out purple or blue level rewards? Blues can still give blue or white level rewards, it just seems odd that the best coin available can cough up a Recipe #1 card just as easily as any other card.

When some of these great ideas here are incorporated into next year's event, can we slip this change in as well?
