(→‎Armor: T3 verbs)
(Updating old item script article with templates per Gswiki:Style guide/Item scripts. Confirmed that the "fluff" verbs associated with Fusion Armor is technically a subscript, however as it is ONLY available for fusion gear armor, it is remaining on this article.)

'''Fusion''' is a script that can be applied to combat gear, including armor and weapons, that allows players to build customized [[enhancive]] items. [[#Fusion Orb|Fusion orbs]] are objects with the fusion script that have enhancive properties on them. They can be added to slots in [[#Fusion Gear|fusion gear]] to receive those enhancive benefits.


The '''fusion''' system allows players to extract [[enhancive]] properties from enhancive items found in the [[treasure system]], creating '''fusion orbs''' which can be placed into specialized '''fusion gear'''. This allows players to build customized enhancive items.
Certain enhancive items found in the [[treasure system]] can be converted into fusion orbs via the automated [[Fusion Shaman]] NPC.

Fusion items have been released as a part of special merchant events and festivals and are not available for purchase from standard NPC merchants. So far, only weapons and armor have been released. Fusion items may have multiple fusion orb slots (standard items have two slots while special raffle and auction items may have more) and can be recognized by their spherical depressions which appear in their [[show description]]. Almost all off-the-shelf fusion gear is 4x [[enchant]]ed.

Some double leather [[armor]] with two empty fusion slots:

The fusion script adds two extra lines as part of the item's {{boldmono|LOOK}}/{{boldmono|SHOW}} description, which indicate how many fusion orb slots the gear has and whether they are currently occupied:
Some metal breastplate armor with one empty and one full fusion slot:

:''All of the gem chambers are currently empty.''
Two spherical depressions adorn the white mithglin breastplate, approximately the size and shape of a small gem.

:''Two spherical depressions adorn the thick rowan runestaff, approximately the size and shape of a small gem.''

A typical fusion item is sold with a +20 bonus (4x enchant) but may be enchanted further to a 7x enchantment by players (or higher through the [[Premium Point]] system).

==Additional Information==
===Using Fusion Orbs===
==== Creating Orbs ====
{{main|Fusion Shaman}}
{{main|Fusion Shaman}}
Currently, fusion orbs can only be created by the fusion shaman NPC which is only available at special merchant events and festivals. Creating a fusion orb in this way destroys the original item. Only one enhancive property may be extracted from any single item, regardless of how many enhancive properties that item has. Edible, drinkable and spell knowledge enhancives may not be extracted; enhancives with certain scripts and certain restrictions may not be extracted. Enhancives with 'global' and 'local' restrictions may not be extracted, but this limit does not affect most items currently in the game. Global restrictions are those which affect the item as a whole and all of its enhancements, while local restrictions affect single traits. [[Crumbly]] enhancives may be extracted and the resulting orb will be non-crumbly ([[persistent]]).


There are three types of fusion orbs:
Currently, fusion orbs can only be created by the fusion shaman NPC which is only available at special merchant events and festivals. Creating a fusion orb in this way destroys the original item. Only one enhancive property may be extracted from any single item, regardless of how many enhacive properties that item has. Edible, drinkable and spell knowledge enhancives may not be extracted; enhancives with certain scripts and certain restrictions may not be extracted. Enhancives with 'global' and 'local' restrictions may not be extracted, but this limit does not affect most items currently in the game. Global restrictions are those which affect the item as a whole and all of its enhancements, while local restrictions affect single traits. [[Crumbly]] enhancives may be extracted and the resulting orb will be non-crumbly ([[persistent]]).
*T3: "old-style" fusion orbs carry the full bonus of the extracted property and do not degrade with time. However, when manually prying a T3 orb out of an armament, there is a chance that it may be damaged and become a T2 orb. {{red|Because the fusion shaman no longer offers T3 orb creation, it is highly recommended that player characters not try to manually pry T3 orbs.}}
*T2: "new-style" fusion orbs carry the full bonus of the extracted property initially, but will degrade at a rate of 4% a month (real time) to a maximum degradation of 50%. For example, +10 would lose 0.4 bonus points per month (becoming effective only when a full -1 value is reached, so only after 3 months in the case of the +10 item would any degradation of the bonus actually occur). It would take 13 months to reach max degradation in most cases. Values of 1 would round down to 0. Presently, the fusion shaman will only create orbs of this type.
*T1: Prying new-style orbs will have a chance to damage the orb, similar to old-style. When damaged it becomes a T1 orb, which will uncap the max degradation (i.e. can degrade to zero in all cases). Further damage would increase degradation rate by 1% per month per damage cycle.


There are special merchant services that may be offered from time to time to safely pry orbs or to refurbish a T2 or T1 orb back to its maximum bonus. The merchant will not convert the orb to a T3. This service should not be considered regular upkeep; by design the T2 orb extraction is meant to only give half the enhancive effect of the original item as a permanent bonus.
=== Adding and Removing Orbs ===


==== Adding and Removing Orbs ====
Once the orb is created, it may be {{mono|[[PUT]]}} into the selected fusion armament. The armament then becomes an enhancive bearing the enhancive bonus carried by the fusion orb.

When the charges are depleted, a careful {{mono|[[PRY]]}} may remove the fusion orb from the armament. {{mono|[[RUB]]}} the armament to change which fusion orb will be manipulated if it is necessary to do so. There is a very slim chance that removing an orb may damage it, which causes 1 bonus point to be lost from the enhancive it carries. Once the enhancive trait reaches 0 bonus, the orb will shatter. Orbs will not degrade or shatter in any other circumstance. If an orb is left in its setting for an extended period of time, prying it out will not degrade it. When an orb has been in the armament long enough, it will appear to be loose in its setting when the piece is {{mono|[[LOOK]]ed}} at.

There is a very slim chance that removing an orb may damage it, which causes the orb to be degraded down one type (T3 to T2, or T2 to T1).


In the past, orbs may become "loose" after some time and could be safely pried; this is no longer the case.

=== Charges ===
==== Charges ====
When an orb is first inserted, the armament has no enhancive charges, but the enhancive may be charged in the [[Adventurer's Guild]] or by a merchant. Armaments hold a maximum of 20 enhancive charges that are used like normal enhancive charges. Fusion items will cost 125% the value in Bounty Points to recharge, or 150% in silvers (during the time of the year when silver recharging is offered).


Orbs may only be switched when the armament has no enhancive charges. Characters may {{boldmono|[[EXHALE]]}} twice on the armament to prematurely drain its charges. Any type of orb may be placed in any armament that can accept fusion orbs, with one exception: two orbs enhancing the same trait may not be placed in the same piece, but one each may be placed into two different pieces (for these purposes, a bonus to a statistic and a bonus to a statistic bonus are considered different traits).

Fusion orbs alone do not enhance anything and do not hold charges; they are only used to impart the specific bonus to the fusion weapon or armor and have no effect on their own. The restrictions placed on the original enhancive trait are carried with the fusion orb and will be present when placed in a fusion armament.

===Fusion Boost===
== Item Scripts ==
'''Fusion Boost''' adds one additional Fusion slot to an existing Fusion item.


Automated certificates for this service have been sold in [[Duskruin]]'s [[BVShop:The Annex|The Annex]] shop.
Additional [[verb trap]]s may be added to some fusion gear by a [[merchant]].

You analyze the fused links and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

Some orb-shaped fused links grant one additional Fusion slot to an existing Fusion item (max six slots).

DETAILS:
> Claidhmores, katanas, and naginatas are ineligible.

You need only RAISE your links while holding a compatible item in your other hand or on your person.

Fusion is a script that can be applied to combat gear, including armor and weapons, that allows players to build customized enhancive items. Fusion orbs are objects with the fusion script that have enhancive properties on them. They can be added to slots in fusion gear to receive those enhancive benefits.

Certain enhancive items found in the treasure system can be converted into fusion orbs via the automated Fusion Shaman NPC.

Fusion Orb

Fusion orbs are created by extracting properties from enhancive items. Fusion orbs may be loresung for their enhancive information and that information will carry into the Playershop system, similar to that for normal enhancives. Characters may also DRAW images ON fusion orbs to tell them apart. There are approximately 70+ different images to draw upon a fusion orb.

See the using fusion orbs section below for detailed information on how they can be used with fusion gear.

Fusion Gear

Fusion items have been released as a part of special merchant events and festivals and are not available for purchase from standard NPC merchants. So far, only weapons and armor have been released. Fusion items may have multiple fusion orb slots (standard items have two slots while special raffle and auction items may have more) and can be recognized by their spherical depressions which appear in their show description. Almost all off-the-shelf fusion gear is 4x enchanted.

The fusion script adds two extra lines as part of the item's LOOK/SHOW description, which indicate how many fusion orb slots the gear has and whether they are currently occupied:

Two spherical depressions adorn the black double leathers, approximately the size and shape of a small gem.
All of the gem chambers are currently empty.
Two spherical depressions adorn the thick rowan runestaff, approximately the size and shape of a small gem.
The chambers currently hold a globe-marked dark indigo orb, and a key-marked hoarfrost white orb.
A typical fusion item is sold with a +20 bonus (4x enchant) but may be enchanted further to a 7x enchantment by players (or higher through the Premium Point system). Unlike traditional weapons and armor, fusion items require the use of an additional pre-tempering potion (urven'eth potion), made by wizardalchemists. Enchanting and ensorcelling fusion items is substantially more difficult than typical gear (difficulty is dependent on the number of orb slots, not the bonuses of the orbs within those slots; prying orbs before enchanting or ensorcelling will not decrease difficulty).

Fusion Armor Fluff Subscript

Fusion Armor is capable of having a subscript that applies a set of fluff verb messaging to it. This subscript is not automatically applied to fusion armor when the script is present, however the two often are present at the same time.

Using Fusion Orbs

Creating Orbs

Main article: Fusion Shaman

Currently, fusion orbs can only be created by the fusion shaman NPC which is only available at special merchant events and festivals. Creating a fusion orb in this way destroys the original item. Only one enhancive property may be extracted from any single item, regardless of how many enhancive properties that item has. Edible, drinkable and spell knowledge enhancives may not be extracted; enhancives with certain scripts and certain restrictions may not be extracted. Enhancives with 'global' and 'local' restrictions may not be extracted, but this limit does not affect most items currently in the game. Global restrictions are those which affect the item as a whole and all of its enhancements, while local restrictions affect single traits. Crumbly enhancives may be extracted and the resulting orb will be non-crumbly (persistent).

There are three types of fusion orbs:

  • T3: "old-style" fusion orbs carry the full bonus of the extracted property and do not degrade with time. However, when manually prying a T3 orb out of an armament, there is a chance that it may be damaged and become a T2 orb. Because the fusion shaman no longer offers T3 orb creation, it is highly recommended that player characters not try to manually pry T3 orbs.
  • T2: "new-style" fusion orbs carry the full bonus of the extracted property initially, but will degrade at a rate of 4% a month (real time) to a maximum degradation of 50%. For example, +10 would lose 0.4 bonus points per month (becoming effective only when a full -1 value is reached, so only after 3 months in the case of the +10 item would any degradation of the bonus actually occur). It would take 13 months to reach max degradation in most cases. Values of 1 would round down to 0. Presently, the fusion shaman will only create orbs of this type.
  • T1: Prying new-style orbs will have a chance to damage the orb, similar to old-style. When damaged it becomes a T1 orb, which will uncap the max degradation (i.e. can degrade to zero in all cases). Further damage would increase degradation rate by 1% per month per damage cycle.

There are special merchant services that may be offered from time to time to safely pry orbs or to refurbish a T2 or T1 orb back to its maximum bonus. The merchant will not convert the orb to a T3. This service should not be considered regular upkeep; by design the T2 orb extraction is meant to only give half the enhancive effect of the original item as a permanent bonus.

Adding and Removing Orbs

Once the orb is created, it may be PUT into the selected fusion armament. The armament then becomes an enhancive bearing the enhancive bonus carried by the fusion orb.

When the charges are depleted, a careful PRY may remove the fusion orb from the armament. RUB the armament to change which fusion orb will be manipulated if it is necessary to do so. There is a very slim chance that removing an orb may damage it, which causes the orb to be degraded down one type (T3 to T2, or T2 to T1).

In the past, orbs may become "loose" after some time and could be safely pried; this is no longer the case.

Draining charges: 

>exhale my staff
You blow gently on a faenor-banded silvery lor staff.  Cinders of multicolored energy wash off of the staff's surface, joining with the breeze in glimmering pirouettes.
[EXHALE on a faenor-banded silvery lor staff again within 30 seconds to exhaust its enhancive charges.]
>exhale my staff
You take a deep breath and blow on a faenor-banded silvery lor staff.  A cloud of glimmering lights explodes off of the staff, whisking away with a mournfully musical sound.

Two spherical depressions adorn the silvery lor staff, approximately the size and shape of a small gem.  The chambers currently hold a muffin-marked dark indigo orb, and a sprite-marked dark indigo orb.

The chamber surrounding a muffin-marked dark indigo orb is alive with steady radiance.

>pry my staff
You carefully pry a muffin-marked dark indigo orb out of your silvery lor staff.

Charges

When an orb is first inserted, the armament has no enhancive charges, but the enhancive may be charged in the Adventurer's Guild or by a merchant. Armaments hold a maximum of 20 enhancive charges that are used like normal enhancive charges. Fusion items will cost 125% the value in Bounty Points to recharge, or 150% in silvers (during the time of the year when silver recharging is offered).

Orbs may only be switched when the armament has no enhancive charges. Characters may EXHALE twice on the armament to prematurely drain its charges. Any type of orb may be placed in any armament that can accept fusion orbs, with one exception: two orbs enhancing the same trait may not be placed in the same piece, but one each may be placed into two different pieces (for these purposes, a bonus to a statistic and a bonus to a statistic bonus are considered different traits).

Fusion orbs alone do not enhance anything and do not hold charges; they are only used to impart the specific bonus to the fusion weapon or armor and have no effect on their own. The restrictions placed on the original enhancive trait are carried with the fusion orb and will be present when placed in a fusion armament.

Fusion Boost

Fusion Boost adds one additional Fusion slot to an existing Fusion item.

Automated certificates for this service have been sold in Duskruin's The Annex shop. 

You analyze the fused links and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:

 Your links are used to unlock the potential of things held in your other hand or on your person.

 Some orb-shaped fused links grant one additional Fusion slot to an existing Fusion item (max six slots).

 DETAILS:
   > Claidhmores, katanas, and naginatas are ineligible.

 You need only RAISE your links while holding a compatible item in your other hand or on your person.

 Your links may not be altered or changed in any way.


You get no sense of whether or not the links may be further lightened.
