Custom Flare Messaging
With just over a month until Ebon Gate, GM Thandiwe is the first one with a LEAK! There will be about a dozen flares that can be customized, including Fire, Cold, Electricity, and 7 more! She shows those three, but keeps the 7 under wraps, the tease! the Officials. She offered these FAQs in a subsequent post:
- Runestaves? Yes, if they already possess one of the 10 flare types.
- Bless? Not at this time.
- Work with Scripts? Yes, so long as they don't have a customized flare message already.
- What Flares? For Ebon Gate this year it is fire, cold, electricity, acid, vacuum, plasma, steam, unbalance, grapple, and impact.
- Any weapon? Any weapon that already has a flare in it that is also one of the flare-types listed above.
- These can be added to your already flaring weapon. The certificate does not provide the flare, too. In order to add the acid message to a weapon, you must have an acid weapon and an acid certificate.
- This does not take up the flare slot.
- Greater flares weapon? It will give the custom flare messaging for the regular flare, but the greater flare will remain as it always has been.
