	Combat Flourishes (aka Mechanical Flourishes) Flourishes, added in February 2024, are a new way of adding multiple scripts to your favorite items! Historically, items have been limited to two scripts: a main script and a subscript. Flourishes, on the other hand, support ''many'' scripts on a single item! Combat flourishes are flourishes that provide a mechanical edge. Rage armor, lore flares, and flare affinity are all set to be released as combat flourishes at August 2024's Duskruin. Players may add multiple combat flourishes to an item, swapping the active combat flourish as needed. There may even be rare opportunities to enable multiple active slots. This is just the beginning! A lot of work has gone into building the foundation of the flourish system, and we anticipate offering many more scripts as flourishes in the future!

	'''Combat/Mechanical Flourishes: Frequently Asked Questions'''<br>
	<nowiki>----------------------------------------------------------------------</nowiki>

	'''What is the Flourish System?'''<br>
	The flourish system was added to allow players to add a number of fluff scripts to a single item. An example of a flourish is Fancy Stancing - [[Fancy Stancing Flourish]] - which can be applied to weapons. The Fancy Stancing flourish displays fancy messaging when a player changes stances while holding a weapon.

	Prior to the flourish system, items only had two script slots: the main slot and the subscript slot.

	'''What are Subscripts?'''<br>
	Subscripts include but are not limited to: rotflares, lesser moods, rage armor, notrot flares, and flare affinity. Subscripts are neat because they don't occupy the primary script slot. For example, an item can have both parasite flares and rotflares.

	Unfortunately, subscripts are quite burdensome to build and maintain. This is one reason why there are many scripts but only a handful of subscripts.

	'''What are Combat/Mechanical Flourishes?'''<br>
	A combat flourish is a flourish script that has mechanical benefit. The subscripts mentioned above - rotflares, rage armor, etc - are all receiving new combat flourish scripts. The subscripts will be migratable via a FLOURISH CONVERT command.

	'''Can I have both subscripts and combat flourishes?'''<br>
	You cannot. If you want to keep your subscript as-is, you may, but you won't be able to add combat flourishes to it. (edited)

	'''What benefits should players see from combat flourishes over subscripts?'''<br>
	* Players should see more combat flourishes in the future than they saw subscripts in the past.
	* Combat flourishes should have wider compatibility than subscripts (note that in the short term there may be temporary restrictions as we work out the kinks.)
	* An item can carry many flourish scripts, choosing which combat flourish script is active at a given time. Subscripts have no such ability.

	To give an example, a katar might have the "Flare Affinity" flourish and the "Lore Flares - Telepathy" flourish. The player can toggle between the two flourishes at will, outside of combat.

	'''Is it possible to have more than one active combat flourish?'''<br>
	Yes, but this service will likely be exorbitantly priced and may only be offered in limited quantities. The details of this service are to-be-determined.

	'''What combat flourishes will be available at this Duskruin?'''<br>
	* Lore Flares - Elemental Lore - Air (previously "[[DoTFlares\|notrot flares]]")
	* Lore Flares - Elemental Lore - Earth (previously "[[DoTFlares\|notrot flares]]")
	* Lore Flares - Elemental Lore - Fire (previously "[[DoTFlares\|notrot flares]]")
	* Lore Flares - Elemental Lore - Water (previously "[[DoTFlares\|notrot flares]]")
	* Lore Flares - Spiritual Lore - Summoning (previously "[[DoTFlares\|notrot flares]]")
	* Lore Flares - Sorcerous Lore - Necromancy (previously "[[rotflares]]")
	* Lore Flares - Mental Lore - Telepathy (brand new)
	* [[RageArmor\|Rage Armor]] (new and improved)
	* [[Flare Affinity]] (unchanged)

	'''What is the price point of combat flourishes?'''<br>
	The above combat flourishes will be at a HESS price point, likely comparable to the price of current rotflares and flare affinity.

	This is just the beginning! Now that the foundation is set, we can do a lot more with combat flourishes. For example, in the future we'd like to offer lower tier combat flourishes at a lower price point.

	'''Can you give me a TLDR?'''<br>
	Going forward, subscripts will be replaced with flourishes. An item can have many flourishes. An item can have many combat/mechanical flourishes, but by default only one slot is active. An exorbitantly-priced service will empower an item to carry multiple active combat flourishes, but no details on this service have been released at this time.

	Okay. final run of 2024 run, for the pin!

	This time around, there will be more parts to find, should you want any last minute switcharoos! The artwork had some ideas of what you might see! The golems will also have some more updates in the build state that does the same thing the MechSpinners have where a gnome can help you out on fixing up arms/legs. There is also a bugged arm or leg out there that they can fix this way too, though if you have a bugged one, you shouldn't need a gnome.

	You will be able to update your golem, but it does come at the expense of losing your old part. Golems cannot be altered, but special parts may happen after this run. So be sure to save some parts if you think you might want to do some tinkering at a later date.

	'''September 1st you will be able to do the final step to your golem and bring it to life.''' There will be a small quest once you have completed your golem to do this. You won't need to buy anything more or purchase a second vault if you don't want to. It will take place on the Duskruin grounds.

	Once it's all set, your golem will be attuned to you and you can use it like other pets. It will have some minor abilities, which I'll tease more, but it's mostly a pet. If you have a fully bonded Quee potato, you can place him inside the engine compartment of your golem for a unique look to Quee and some extra special messaging. Quee will also be easier to stay happy this way, as he really wanted Galahad to release.

	I'll showcase more of the golem after the initial launch of Duskruin into next week.

	And if you don't have Quee, there may just be a way to get one this Duskruin.
