Rockflares

This article is a Stub. You can help GSWiki by expanding it.

Rockflares are a rare type of subscript flare. They are unusual in that they increase in frequency and severity with Elemental Lore, Earth training, and can be added to weapons that already have another script (for many but not all scripts). They are applied to weapons and runestaves.

Flare Effect

Rockflares produce a single initial attack upon the flare triggering, followed by damage over time (DoT) that repeats approximately every 3 seconds.

An example of an initial flare trigger:

** As an elongated summit surita runestaff grasping a star-shaped blue riftshard strikes a bloodthirsty Silent Investor marauder, rocky masses form around him! **

   ... 10 points of damage!
   Light blow to the left leg.

An example of the DoT:

The rocky masses burying a bloodthirsty Silent Investor marauder explodes, causing 6 stones to slam into him.
   ... 19 points of damage!
   ... 5 points of damage!
   Brushing blow to the temple.

The number of times the DoT will repeat is based on the number of stones listed in the flare line. The flare loses 1 stone per DoT tick. As the above example ended on 6 stones, it would repeat an additional 5 more times (removing 1 stone per tick).

Release and Availability

Rockflares were released by Lahke at Duskruin Arena February 2022. A selection of five DoTFlares operating off of different lores and with slightly different effects were auctioned for bloodscrip.

Rockflares are now integrated into the Combat Flourish system as of August 2024. They no longer use the subscript slot after conversion.
