Because of how much you've paid attention to everyone, you have got me drooling over getting Voln on my armor. Thank you Wyrom, and everyone else working on this, for caring.

Unlikely as it is, I have to ask. If veil iron and presumably krodera are being allowed to take an enchant here, what about kroderine?

Gear points are something we use, everywhere.

<<From whats been documented, Kroderine can be enchanted, but the metal will slowly absorb the magic and revert back to its original enchant. -Vorks

I am pretty sure it can be enchanted. Website documents on metal properties aren't very up-to-date.

<< You can pick Voln Armor, Entanglement flares (bolas and nets only), or Greater Elemental flares (I will update these to work with runestaves before the festival). The other two options may not be on par with Voln Armor in your eyes. But I'm giving options. Because I care. >> --Wyrom

Are Greater Elemental flares a Category D property (everything else), as defined in Finros' recent classification? Asked another way, can a person have a Category B flare (fire, mana, acuity, grapple, unbalance, etc.) and a Greater Elemental flare on the same runestaff?

From Finros' post:
<< Category D: Only ONE may be present
<< - Everything not mentioned above (yes, seriously). This includes everything from the weapons that hiss when you wave them (and do nothing else), to the properties of Sorrow. >>

Greater elemental flares should be double flaring weapons like some of the items that have come from DM, etc, unless Wyrom or someone else has a correction.

You completely misinterpreted his post.

Gear points will prevent you from getting upgrades at merchant festivals all over the place. Gear points will not prevent you from using Premium points to pad or enchant it.

>>You completely misinterpreted his post.

>>Me: I do have a question though. During RTCF we asked numerous times about whether the point system used during the festival was going to also be used outside of it (specifically for premium point perks) and were told no. Now it seems that's changed. Is there a specific reason for this? I mean we're looking at almost seven years of premium service to put +10 padding on 10x T4 Voln armor. I don't personally see that as OP but you guys see stuff we don't so I'm curious.

>>Him: Gear points are something we use, everywhere.

Given that my question specifically said premium points I'm fairly sure I didn't completely misinterpret the post. Perhaps you completely didn't read my question?

BHTM,

Jhynnifer is not misinterpreting it, but you are answering the question she wants answered. She wants to know if you have a set of 70/70 points allowed 10x voln t4 brig *which IS 70 points, by math, I am assuming*, if you can PP pad it to HCP for an end result of 10x HCP Voln T4 brig. Her quote reflected a very nice GM who explained that no, PP's do not utilize the gear points to effect a yes/no decision from whoever reads the scroll and says the item can/can't be worked on. And thus she can HCP her 10x Voln T4 brig and be happy.

She wants to hear that it yes, can be PP padded after she voln T4's it. From a GM. A clear cut and direct answer so there's no misinterpretation. Hopefully Reidyn can respond to her so this can get cleared up. I, as well, was under the impression I could HCP my 10x T4 voln armor. This will be a grand disappointment if the rules suddenly changed, and we'd like an explanation as to what's what, and if something changed, why? That's all =)

Thank you for all your hard work, Wyrom, Reidyn, and everyone else taking part in this event! I won't be getting sleep for 3 days!

>What about acuity and mana flares? They have varying potency.

Ha! A fair point. I should have said "damage-dealing flares" in that context. I was mentally glossing over the non-damage dealing ones (dispel, mana, acuity), which can have different potencies.

Obviously, I can't be 100% sure, but I deem it unlikely. Any script (category D) can override any other category trivially, of course, as I listed in my caveats. I don't know offhand what Stovel flares are -- I remember the merchant and the claim, of course, but I don't know how they may have been technically constructed -- but if they aren't standard flares, they're probably a script. Otherwise, this discussion is getting a bit far afield, and the original Weapons and Armor folder would be a better place to continue any discussions about my categorization method.

Someone posted this gem and titled it "The Charts of Clarity". Check it out!

Total side-bar, but it's been implied over the years that "regular" flares can have varying levels of potency that are not able to be measured by players.

Morning guys!

Wondering if we could get a response on the Voln Armor thing Jhynnifer brought up and a couple of us responded about! Please and thank you!

Also, will there be an announcement/post/in-game callout letting us know whether any tickets will or will not be going up for sale? Just saying, hawking the box office makes me wish for a mini-game on the Play.Net website =P. Any insight on how this will happen, perhaps? I know more people than just me are curious about what's going on. Thanks again guys for all your hard work!

>>I probably missed the question.

We're just looking for verification that, regardless of the gear point system, we can use PP to pad armor. The example was that I have 10x T4 voln armor. It currently is 70/70 points according to the gear system. Can it still be padded via the PP system? The original answer back during RTCF was "yes" but your earlier response was no, the gear point system is used everywhere. Just looking for clarification on this so we can plan accordingly. =)

The armor would be locked out of festivals and events for the most part. There always can be special cases.

As for alteration scrolls, you should be able to pad them, but Voln armor carries quite a few surcharges due to the mechanical nature of the script.

Thank you for clarifying!

If we won a Voln armor slot, would we be restricted to moving up one tier of Voln armor or could we add two tiers? For example go from Tier 2 Tier 4.

Thanks! I got confused by the CCF total wiki charts.
