* So the Vanity Wear allows for a T2 unlock, which allows it, when worn with other unlocked pieces, to boost the enhancives. The maximum benefit comes from unlocking and wearing all together.
* The unlock certs sold in the shop are what is available. Agility, Strength, Influence, and Constitution.
* Coats are cloak-worn, hats are head-worn, gloves are hand-worn, and socks are foot-worn just like those items normally would be. Functional.
* Initially, they are all +2 to the base stat. However, as you unlock them and then wear them together, it increases by +1 on each stat to a maximum of +5 when all 4 pieces are worn together.
* Socks - Agility, Gloves - Strength, Hat - Influence, Coat - Constitution.
* When each one is unlocked and then worn together, they give you +5 to each.
* Each item is a container.
* The verbs for the script are OTS.
* They hold 50 charges.
* Cannot be increased by HESS certificates.
* Can be freely altered.

Posturing with New Flavor Messaging

Equipment can now change the flavor of your Stance verbose messaging! GM Thandiwe teases the Kraet Length Hasta, and mentions that similar options will be found in three other shops, including Get Thee Behind Me's Pocketed Shield.

Main Post from Thandiwe: Official Forum Post

Animalistic Spirit Headdress by GM Avaluka

A head-worn addition to the Animalistic Spirit line, visible in your inventory above your features, with temporary eye colors, and an unlockable SMRv2 attack, and a new feathery friend teased in the messaging.

Main Post by Avaluka: Official Forum Post
Analyze and some verb samples: Official Forum Post
Pricing: Official Forum Post

Additional Information: Discord Discussion

  • It will still just be functional headwear. Unless you buy the one that is a helmet/helm, they won't interfere with the actual armor coverage.
  • The items you imprint have to be attuned to you for the imprint to take, so you can't go collecting spirits from everyone else's items.
  • On POINT: It'll remember that other description until you manually make it forget with CLEAN.
  • Feral is hard-coded, yes. The color will change to whatever spirit color you have.
  • OTS headgear - 15,000 bloodscrip. Animalistic Avatar tiers (4 unlock certs) - 10,000 blood scrip each. Multi-opponent/AOE unlock for Animalistic Avatar - 15,000 bloodscrip. Fluff tier unlock - 2,500 bloodscrip. Spirit Imprint slots (can unlock up to 4) - 1,500 bloodscrip each. Spirit Change - same as others, which is 1,000 bloodscrip. Discord

Morphing Runestaff update by GM Thandiwe

A total refresh and more flexibility for both forms to bring the script in line with modern standards, as well as a brand new shop including an unlock certificate for eight new verbs. Not to worry, existing staves will be updated automatically. Once the update is live REGISTER your item, then morph and unmorph it.

Main Post by Thandiwe: Official Forum Post

Beatie Baby by GM Ivry

Clockwork assistants for rhythmic assistance; Rhythmic Focus to improve your chances with Purification Song (1004), available from Metrognomies.

Main Post by Ivry: Official Forum Post
Discord Discussion

  • 1x/day, does not stack (refreshes), can't be combined.
  • Work if you're casting 1004 from a scroll or magic item.
  • Gem singing success = Better odds at not blowing them up, and hopefully going even further in successfully purifying.
  • This item, outside of all the usual facets of successful gem singing, will add a boost to your chances of each verse (cast) being a success. A "failure" in this context meaning you actually blow the gem up. Discord

Flare Affinity by APM Estild

A new subscript to add some oomph to category B flares will be introduced in limited quantities at Duskruin Mania.

Main Post by Estild: Official Forum Post
Discord Discussion

  • It should work with any other script.
  • It does not flare on every attack.
  • As an example, you could add it to a Greater Elemental Weapon, and it would boost the standard flares part of weapon, but not the GE flares.
  • If they're standard flares (category B), it'll increase the odds of anything other than Death flares. If the flares also deal damage, it'll also increase their potency.
  • The increased frequency is the same as Item Superchargers. The increased potency causes all the flares to be rank 5-9 (before padding, resistance, randomization, etc) (see clip for examples).
  • Only one subscript per item.

Crested Helm by GM Xayle

A real feather in your cap, it's time for fancy helms and suchwhat! New helmets which can have a decorative crest, plume, or topknot added.

Main Post by Xayle: Official Forum Post

Fighting Knife by GM Sindin

Rough and tumble? Picking fights? Need to make sure everyone around you knows? Challenge friend and foe alike to a knife fight! Knives! BIG THANKS to GM Lanadriel for coding.

Main Post by Sindin: Official Forum Post
Additional information: Official Forum Post
Additional information (all tiers): Official Forum Post
Discord Discussion

  • Script slot yes... flares are up to you.
  • It seems like you have yourself a knife fight.
  • Dispel is currently not triggering on Stabber and Slasher, and has been escalated for clarification.
  • Fighting Knives prices: T1 - 3k, T2 - 2.5k, T3 - 5k, T4 - 25k
  • Stabber and slasher can trigger at the same time as a standard flare, but do not provide additional chances to trigger the standard flare. Official Forum Post

Fighting Fan by GM Thandiwe

Intriguing Nalfein anti-assassins' bladed fighting fans. Accompanied by the story of the Sparrows of the Night Queen.

Main Post by Thandiwe: Official Forum Post
Discord Discussion

  • Noun must remain fan.
  • The cool down is on the weapon. Both fans have to be at least the specific tier to get that tier's benefit.
  • If you have 1 fan unlocked to Tier 5 and are wielding another fan, then you can do the dance.
  • The single-weapon benefits (i.e, gust and thunder attacks) remain available even if dual-wielding fighting fans.
  • T5 works with TWC, it waits for both attacks to finish.
  • The flare chance remains the same across tiers, but [at higher tiers] you'll get a boost to the flare strength. If you're dual wielding eligible fans and one fan flares, you'll get a boost based on both fans.
  • Naiken is investigating how they want to handle the new PSM stuff (eg, assault abilities).
  • T1 (OTS): 2.5k bloodscrip, T2: 10k, T3: 25k, T4: 50k, T5: 75k Discord

Daybringer weapon by GM Retser

A fiery, undead-slaying weapon line. Pricing is not yet available and the item is still in QC. There is a chance some things may change before it is released. It SHOULD make an appearance this Duskruin.

Main Post by Retser: Official Forum Post

Main Post by Naionna: Official Forum Post
Additional information and pricing: Official Forum Post
Discord Discussion
Discord Discussion 2

  • So the Vanity Wear allows for a T2 unlock, which allows it, when worn with other unlocked pieces, to boost the enhancives. The maximum benefit comes from unlocking and wearing all together.
  • The unlock certs sold in the shop are what is available. Agility, Strength, Influence, and Constitution.
  • Coats are cloak-worn, hats are head-worn, gloves are hand-worn, and socks are foot-worn just like those items normally would be. Functional.
  • Initially, they are all +2 to the base stat. However, as you unlock them and then wear them together, it increases by +1 on each stat to a maximum of +5 when all 4 pieces are worn together.
  • Socks - Agility, Gloves - Strength, Hat - Influence, Coat - Constitution.
  • When each one is unlocked and then worn together, they give you +5 to each.
  • Each item is a container.
  • The verbs for the script are OTS.
  • They hold 50 charges.
  • Cannot be increased by HESS certificates.
  • Can be freely altered.
  • Socks 2,500 - Gloves 2,500 - Hat 2,500 - Coat 5,000 - Unlocks 25,000
