{{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 three versions of the Animalistic Spirit items:
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
* [[Animalistic Spirit Weapon]]s
* [[Animalistic Spirit Shield]]s
* [[Animalistic Spirit Shield]]s
* [[Animalistic Spirit Armor]]
* [[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.

==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.

==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.

==Unlockable Features==

|+Unlockable Extra Features
|-
|-
|scope="row"|Megafauna||tusked||trumpet||band||elephant [default], giraffe, hippopotamus, hippo, mammoth, mastodon, pygmy hippopotamus, rhino, rhinoceros, woolly mammoth
|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"|Avian (Rattite)||tall||shriek||flock||ostrich [default], cassowary, emu, kiwi, moa, rhea
|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.
|-
|-
|scope="row"|Shark||long-finned||growl||band||shark [default], basking shark, bullhead shark, dogfish, great white shark, hammerhead shark, mako shark, nurse shark, reef shark, sawshark, thresher shark, tiger shark, whale shark
|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.
|-
|-
|scope="row"|Cephalopod||bulbous||gurgle||band||octopus [default], cuttlefish, jellyfish, kraken, man o' war, nautilus, sea nettle, squid
|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.)
|-
|-
|scope="row"|Avian (Small)||plump||chirp||flock||sparrow [default], blackbird, bluebird, bunting, canary, cardinal, cedar waxwing, chickadee, cuckoo, dove, finch, flycatcher, gnatcatcher, goldfinch, hummingbird, junco, lark, martin, mourning dove, nuthatch, oriole, pigeon, robin, skylark, starling, swallow, swift, thrust, titmouse, turtle dove, warbler, woodpecker, wren
|Damage Type Change ||If you are unhappy with the default Grapple damage of the Animalistic Fury flares, you can change the damage type to something else (either a common damage type or uncommon damage type). Please be sure to READ the vouchers to see what types are available.
|-
|-
|scope="row"|Lizard/Frog||scaly||hiss||band||lizard [default], anole, axolotl, bullfrog, chameleon, cave nipper, fire salamander, frilled lizard, frog, gecko, horned lizard, iguana, newt, poison dart frog, salamander, skink, spadefoot, spring peeper, teadragon, tiger salamander, toad, tree frog
|Fluff Action unlocks ||There are 2 unlocks available to add more verbs/actions to your weapons/shields that are pure fluff. These are completely separate from the flare tier unlocks to allow you to expand the fluff actions without having to pay a premium price if you do not want the extra power.
|-
|scope="row"|Insect (Flying)||fuzzy||buzz||swarm||bee [default], aphid, atlas moth, bumblebee, butterfly, caddisfly, cicada, cricket, cinder wasp, damselfly, death's-head hawkmoth, dragonfly, firefly, fly, fruit fly, fnat, grasshopper, honeybee, horsefly, hornet, katydid, lacewing, leafhopper, locust, luna moth, mayfly, midge, monarch butterfly, mosquito, moth, swallowtail, wasp, mud wasp, yellow jacket

|-
|-
|Spirit Change ||If you want to change the type of spirit in your weapon/shield (IE changing a feline to a canine), you can use this certificate. All GALD merchants should be able to change the color of the spirit, but only limited merchants can change how the spirit looks in general, while only certificates can change the overall "type" of the spirit. Each "type" of spirit has a limited list of pre-approved nouns/species that will work for that type in alterations.

==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}}>- Does this work with Ranged?
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.

This also works with UCS, runestaves and all shields. Armor is not available at this time.

- Can I add this to an existing weapon/shield?
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.

- 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 08:11, 9 September 2026

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 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
