{{TOCright|limit=3}}The '''Animalistic Spirit''' Weapons and Shields, also known as Animalistic Fury, were first released at [[pay event]] [[Duskruin]] in August 2020 at the [[BVShop:Untamed_Spirit|Untamed Spirit]] shop. There are now four versions of the Animalistic Spirit items: |
||
* [[Animalistic Spirit Weapon]]s |
|||
==Overview== |
|||
* [[Animalistic Spirit Shield]]s |
|||
* [[Animalistic Spirit Armor]] |
|||
* [[Animalistic Spirit Headdress]] |
|||
[[Animalistic Totem]]s were released in August 2024 at the [[BVShop:Totemic_Spirits|Totemic Spirits]] shop. While they do not provide mechanical benefit as part of the Animalistic Spirit set for those items, they are similarly themed. |
|||
Off the shelf, these items were sold at +20 enchants and contained offensive script flares ([[item properties|Category D]]) called Animalistic Fury which were [[grapple critical table|grapple criticals]] by default. On top of that, individuals could add the more typical [[flare]]s. |
|||
==Affinity/Taming== |
|||
As the spirits within the items are wild and untamed, you must tame the spirit to prevent them from backlashing on you. The backlash happens if you are wielding the weapon/shield (i.e., held in hand or worn in the case of UCS gloves/boots). The backlash is different depending on the weapon or shield type - melee weapons and runestaves will make it so you cannot parry, UCS gloves/boots and ranged will give you a DS/TD debuff, while shields will make it so you cannot block. '''NOTE:''' This is only a very short effect and does not happen all the time. The more tame the spirit is, the less chance it will backlash and the shorter the backlash will last. When fully tame, the spirit will not backlash on you at all. |
|||
To tame the spirit, you must successfully hit like-level foes with the weapon/shield, or successfully parry(melee/runestaves), evade (UCS/ranged), or block (shield) attacks from like-level foes while you are in a forward or greater stance and actively participating in combat. |
|||
The spirits will only trust one person at a time - if you want to pass this weapon/shield off to someone else, the new owner will have to work off the trust gained by the previous owner before gaining trust of their own. |
|||
The more tame the spirit is, the more powerful the Animalistic Fury flares will become. You can unlock the ceiling/potential top end of the flare strength by unlocking the flare tier. Off the shelf, the flares will max out at regular flare strength. |
|||
==Animalistic Spirit Defaults and Allowed Nouns== |
|||
'''Note:''' The first noun listed in the allowed nouns cell for each spirit type is the default noun that will be applied with any spirit change certificate. The default color is always misty green. Changing the animal noun within a Spirit Type is done via Alteration services. |

===Example Shield Analyze=== |
|||
<pre{{log2}}>---- Animalistic Spirit Shields ---- |
|||
-General Script Information- |
|||
This is a shield with the spirit of an animal trapped within it. |
|||
The spirit is wild and must be tamed by unleashing it against like-level foes, or successfully blocking against them during combat. |
|||
If not fully tame, the spirit within can backlash upon the owner. |
|||
Allegiance can be changed, but the new owner must work off the trust gained by the previous owner. |
|||
When striking, there is a chance the spirit will unleash Animalistic Fury flares. |
|||
-Alteration Guidelines- |
|||
* Alterations to the 15/15/15, long and show of this shield are fine. |
|||
* Some merchants can change the spirit color, spirit call or how the spirit looks. |
|||
NOTE: You cannot change the general type of animal, such as changing a large feline to be a canine, except using certificates. |
|||
As well, each spirit type only has certain pre-approved nouns allowed. |
|||
-Features- |
|||

|||
On a successful block, there is a chance to unleash Animalistic Fury flares. You must be in a forward or greater stance and be an active combatant in combat for the spirit to react. |
|||
NOTE: Power of this ability is tied to the Flare tier. |
|||
* Wild Backlash = Locked |
|||
When Animalistic Fury flares hit, the spirit within lashes out with its untamed anger, causing a momentary reduction in the target's DS and TD. |
|||
NOTE: Power of this ability is tied to the Flare tier. |
|||
* Savage Power = Locked |
|||
Once an hour, draw on the power of the spirit within your weapon for an increase in AS, CS and critical padding by CLENCHing the aegis. |

|||
At this tier, this shield captures the following:WEAR, REMOVE, RUB (Flares On/Off), WHISTLE. |
|||
* Tameness/Affinity |
|||
Tame the spirit to prevent it enacting its rage upon you. |
|||
Only one person can have allegiance to this shield's spirit at a time. |

==Affinity/Taming== |
|||
As the spirits within the items are wild and untamed, you must tame the spirit to prevent them from backlashing on you. The backlash happens if you are wielding the weapon/shield (i.e., held in hand or worn in the case of UCS gloves/boots). The backlash is different depending on the weapon or shield type - melee weapons and runestaves will make it so you cannot parry, UCS gloves/boots and ranged will give you a DS/TD debuff, while shields will make it so you cannot block. '''NOTE:''' This is only a very short effect and does not happen all the time. The more tame the spirit is, the less chance it will backlash and the shorter the backlash will last. When fully tame, the spirit will not backlash on you at all. |
|||
To tame the spirit, you must successfully hit like-level foes with the weapon/shield, or successfully parry(melee/runestaves), evade (UCS/ranged), or block (shield) attacks from like-level foes while you are in a forward or greater stance and actively participating in combat. |
|||
The spirits will only trust one person at a time - if you want to pass this weapon/shield off to someone else, the new owner will have to work off the trust gained by the previous owner before gaining trust of their own. |
|||
The more tame the spirit is, the more powerful the Animalistic Fury flares will become. You can unlock the ceiling/potential top end of the flare strength by unlocking the flare tier. Off the shelf, the flares will max out at regular flare strength. |

|||
|Animalistic Fury Flares |||While these weapons/shields come with this grapple-based offensive script flare off-the-shelf, you can unlock the ceiling of the flare's potential power even more. (NOTE: The flare power scales based on your affinity with the spirit, the flare tier only raises how high the flare's power can go when the spirit is fully tame.) |

|scope="row"|Rabbit/hare||lanky||growl||herd||hare, rabbit, jackrabbit, cottontail, arctic hare, snowshoe hare |
|||
|Revenge flares ||Unlock this to have a chance to unleash Animalistic Fury flares upon a successful parry (melee/runestaves), evade (UCS/ranged) or block (shields). NOTE: You must be in forward or greater stance and be an active participant in combat recently for the spirit to be roused into responding. IE, you can't just stand in defensive in front of a creature and let the flares kill things for you. |
|||
As well, UCS gloves/boots reactive flares will NOT proc if your hands are full. You should NOT expect these to work unless you actually use UCS open-handed Brawling - no casters wearing these for an extra reactive flare chance. In addition, only one piece of equipment will reactively flare on each successful evade, so you will not be able to get multiple flares from gloves/boots on the same evade. |

|Wild Backlash ||Unlock this to add a DS/TD debuff to your target when Animalistic Fury flares hit. The stronger your Fury flares, the stronger this debuff becomes. |
|||
NOTE: This is essentially a -5 DS/-3 TD debuff per flare tier. Unlocking this will add the debuff to the flare itself, so consider it a boost to the flare itself with the power tied to the flare tier. At max flare tier, the debuff is -20 DS/-12 TD. |

|Savage Power||Unlock this to be able to draw upon the strength of the spirit within your weapon/shield once every 60 minutes to increase your AS, CS and critical padding for 2 minutes. Each unlock adds equivalent to 1x accuity (+5 AS/+3 CS) up to +25 AS/+15 CS at Tier 5. You need to CLENCH the weapon/shield to activate this, and the cooldown is applied to your character itself. (IE, you will not be able to activate a weapon and a shield in the same 60 minute period.) |

==Animalistic Fury Flare Messaging Beginning== |
|||
==Questions and Answers== |
|||
When the Animalistic Fury flare activates on either an [[Animalistic Spirit Weapon]] or an [[Animalistic Spirit Shield]], the following message will be seen. |
|||
GM Avaluka provided these potential questions and answers in the release post. |
|||
<pre{{log2}}>Riotous (spirit color) energy races along the surface of the (item noun), slender tendrils rising up to coalesce into the ethereal form of a/an (spirit descriptor) (spirit animal noun). |
|||
<pre{{log2}}>- Does this work with Ranged? |
|||
** (Beginning of Animal Fury flare messaging) (end of Animal Fury flare messaging) ** |
|||
Yes, the flares do fire with Ranged, but they do NOT fire with every shot. The flare chance is equivalent to if you were swinging a weapon. |
|||
(Crit table damage messaging)</pre> |
|||
Please see the below tables for the expanded flare messaging which includes both the highly customized first half and then the damage type customization. Spirit animal noun, spirit descriptor, spirit color, spirit call, and spirit group can all also be customized. See the [[Animalistic Spirit#Animalistic Spirit Defaults and Allowed Nouns|Animalistic Spirit Defaults and Allowed Nouns table]] for more information. |
|||
This also works with UCS, runestaves and all shields. Armor is not available at this time. |
|||
{| {{prettytable}} |
|||
- Can I add this to an existing weapon/shield? |
|||
|+ Beginning of Animal Fury Flare Messaging |
|||
Not at this time unfortunately. There will be a small selection of some weapon bases this run, as well as all sizes of shields, but you will not find every single weapon base available off-the-shelf. I tried to cover the more popular bases this run to try to appeal to most. |
|||
!scope="col"|Spirit Type !!Flare Messaging Example |
|||
- How long will it take to fully tame the spirit? |
|||
Hard to say - it depends on how much you use it. The spirit is tamed by successful hits with the weapon/shield, and successful parry/evade/block while in forward+ stance and actively participating in combat (depending on the weapon/shield you have- these must be done with a like-level foe that you can gain experience from. You do not need to kill the creatures to get credit for taming - they only care about whether you do damage, bloodthirsty spirits that they are. |
|||
Due to shield maneuvers not being used as much, shields can also gain affinity from any successful physical attack if the shield is being wielded in the left hand. |
|||
- How does the flare tier affect the flares? |
|||
The flare tier only affects the potential power of the flare, /not/ the flare rate. The flare rate of Animalistic Fury flares is always a base flare rate that you'd see with any flare. The flare power is dependent on the flare tier, but this is a ceiling of how high the power will go. The power itself scales based on your affinity with the spirit. OTS weapons/shields have Animalistic Fury flares with the ceiling of normal flare power. |
|||
- Do I need to unlock all of these different features in some kind of order? |
|||
No, not really. The only ones dependent on "order" are the unlock certificates in the same "feature" (IE, you'd need to unlock the flare tiers in order from T2 up to T4.) However, you can easily unlock Wild Backlash and Revenge flares on something without even unlocking the flare power beyond the first tier. If you do not think you want Savage Power, you do not need to unlock it at all. If you are more interstsed in the fluff verbs, you can just grab those. It is a mix and match approach. |
|||
- How hard are these to enchant/ensorcell? |
|||
They do have a difficulty to them on par with similar scripted weapons. The penalty is flat, however, so an OTS weapon/shield will have the same penalty even before it is unlocked, so you do not need to worry about enchanting first before unlocking abilities. |
|||
- So the flares will not work on these for UCS gloves/boots at all? |
|||
That is /only/ the case for the Revenge/retaliatory flares. Offensive Animalistic Fury script flares will still fire on your UCS gloves/boots with UCS attacks, even if you have Brawling weapons or a shield in your hand. If you plan to try to take advantage of the Revenge flares firing on a successful evade, however, these will /not/ fire if you have anything whatsoever in your hands (both hands must be empty.)</pre> |

Latest revision as of 08:45, 11 September 2024
The Animalistic Spirit Weapons and Shields, also known as Animalistic Fury, were first released at pay event Duskruin in August 2020 at the Untamed Spirit shop. There are now four versions of the Animalistic Spirit items:
- Animalistic Spirit Weapons
- Animalistic Spirit Shields
- Animalistic Spirit Armor
- Animalistic Spirit Headdress
Animalistic Totems were released in August 2024 at the Totemic Spirits shop. While they do not provide mechanical benefit as part of the Animalistic Spirit set for those items, they are similarly themed.
Affinity/Taming
As the spirits within the items are wild and untamed, you must tame the spirit to prevent them from backlashing on you. The backlash happens if you are wielding the weapon/shield (i.e., held in hand or worn in the case of UCS gloves/boots). The backlash is different depending on the weapon or shield type - melee weapons and runestaves will make it so you cannot parry, UCS gloves/boots and ranged will give you a DS/TD debuff, while shields will make it so you cannot block. NOTE: This is only a very short effect and does not happen all the time. The more tame the spirit is, the less chance it will backlash and the shorter the backlash will last. When fully tame, the spirit will not backlash on you at all.
To tame the spirit, you must successfully hit like-level foes with the weapon/shield, or successfully parry(melee/runestaves), evade (UCS/ranged), or block (shield) attacks from like-level foes while you are in a forward or greater stance and actively participating in combat.
The spirits will only trust one person at a time - if you want to pass this weapon/shield off to someone else, the new owner will have to work off the trust gained by the previous owner before gaining trust of their own.
The more tame the spirit is, the more powerful the Animalistic Fury flares will become. You can unlock the ceiling/potential top end of the flare strength by unlocking the flare tier. Off the shelf, the flares will max out at regular flare strength.
Animalistic Spirit Defaults and Allowed Nouns
Note: The first noun listed in the allowed nouns cell for each spirit type is the default noun that will be applied with any spirit change certificate. The default color is always misty green. Changing the animal noun within a Spirit Type is done via Alteration services.
