Briar flare items: Difference between revisions
m (GS4-XERAPHINA moved page Briar flare to Briar flare items: Moving this page to Briar flare items. Weapons are main items, but there are now worn/armor accessories that go with it.) |
(Updating with itemtiermulti and markups to accommodate both Briar Weapons and Briar Accessories, updating templates, rearranging some information. I have copied the same verbs from Briar Weapons to Briar Accessories for their tiers, however the Accessories may have different verbs. This page is also missing verb messaging and analyze for Briar Accessories. If you have more information about this item, please add it!) |

'''Briar |
'''Briar flare items''' (sometimes called '''Betrayer Items''' based on the original loresong) are scripted [[flare]]s created by GM Xynwen that are available in three tiers. They were first offered at [[Ebon Gate 2010]] and have since been offered at [[BVShop:A Twist of Briars|A Twist of Briars]] in [[Bloodriven Village]]. In addition to their original Briar Weapon form, Briar Accessories are available. Briar flares take the form of a vine that has a chance of injuring the target and [[poison]]ing it. |
||
Briar flare weapons can have both a [[long description]] and a [[show description]]. Briar flares are considered a scripted ability. A standard non-scripted [[flare]] may be added to items with briar flares. Briar flare weapons do work with [[Rotflares]], and they can take a custom loresong. |
|||
All briar flare weapons should be {{boldmono|[[TAP]]ped}} to retract the thorns before putting the weapon away. Expect pain if this is forgotten. |

A person can have up to 5 Briar flare items on them, including the weapon, which will add 1 blood point to the total blood pool with each pulse. These will also add +1 per item to the AS boost. |

==Additional Information== |
==Additional Information== |
||
=== |
===Blood Siphoning=== |
||
When one takes hold of the weapon and the thorns dig in, the weapon will dig into the wielder and slowly siphon a [[health point]] (HP) off of them, 1 HP every 30 seconds. The collected stored HP is referred to as the blood pool. The blood pool has sometimes been referred to as ''influence'', however this is not the same as the [[Influence]] stat. |
|||
<pre{{log2}}> |
|||
You remove a base sword from in your velvet box. |
|||
As soon as the base sword is in your hand, several vines of briar and thorn slither out of the top of the blade and twine about your wrist. Droplets of crimson blood are quickly absorbed by the writhing vines. |
|||
You feel a slight prick as the briar imbedded in your wrist digs a little deeper. The vines writhe briefly, veins of crimson pulsing within the viridian vegetation. |
|||
As you strike the giant, droplets of blood are sucked from it to your base sword, running up the blade to be absorbed by the vines wrapped around your wrist.</pre> |
|||
10% of the damage inflicted with a Briar Weapon will be stored as blood points at Tier 3. |
|||
===Poison Flares=== |
|||
Having enough blood points stored in its greedy vines will allow a flare to go off that has a chance of injuring the target and [[poison]]ing it. Each flare costs a seemingly random amount of blood points (approximately 15 to 25) and the flares won't work against [[creature]]s that don't have blood. |
|||
===AS Bonus=== |
|||
Briar flares at all tiers will provide an [[attack strength]] (AS) boost when {{boldmono|[[RAISE]]d}}, only when the weapon is full, and which will drain it of all stored HPs. The AS boost varies from tier to tier and lasts for one minute at tier one or two, and two minutes at tier three. |
|||
===Combat Example=== |
|||
<pre{{log2}}> |
|||
You swing a base sword at a frost giant! |
|||
AS: +466 vs DS: +215 with AvD: +9 + d100 roll: +2 = +262 |
|||
... and hit for 21 points of damage! |
|||
Minor puncture to the right leg. |
|||
As you strike the giant, droplets of blood are sucked from it to your base sword, running up the blade to be absorbed by the vines wrapped around your wrist. |
|||
Vines of vicious briars whip out from your base sword, raking The giant with its thorns. The giant looks slightly ill as the glistening emerald coating from each briar works itself under its skin. |
|||
... 30 points of damage! |
|||
Hard shove to the chest staggers the frost giant. |
|||
It is knocked to the ground! |
|||
The frost giant is stunned!</pre> |
|||
===Grand Auction of 5123=== |

===Blood Siphoning=== |
|||
When one takes hold of the weapon and the thorns dig in, the weapon will dig into the wielder and slowly siphon a [[health point]] (HP) off of them, 1 HP every 30 seconds. The collected stored HP is referred to as "'''influence'''" (not related to the [[Influence|influence statistic]]). |

You remove a base sword from in your velvet box. |
|||
As soon as the base sword is in your hand, several vines of briar and thorn slither out of the top of the blade and twine about your wrist. Droplets of crimson blood are quickly absorbed by the writhing vines. |
|||
You feel a slight prick as the briar imbedded in your wrist digs a little deeper. The vines writhe briefly, veins of crimson pulsing within the viridian vegetation. |
|||
As you strike the giant, droplets of blood are sucked from it to your base sword, running up the blade to be absorbed by the vines wrapped around your wrist.</pre> |
|||
10% of the damage inflicted with a briar weapon will be stored as influence at Tier 3. |
|||
===Poison Flares=== |
|||
Having enough blood points stored in its greedy vines will allow a flare to go off that has a chance of injuring the target and [[poison]]ing it. Each flare costs a seemingly random amount of influence--approximately 15 to 25--and the flares won't work against [[creature]]s that don't have blood. |
|||
===AS Bonus=== |
|||
Briar flares at all tiers will provide an [[attack strength]] (AS) boost when {{boldmono|[[RAISE]]d}}, only when the weapon is full, and which will drain it of all stored HPs. The AS boost varies from tier to tier and lasts for one minute at tier one or two, and two minutes at tier three. |
|||
===Example=== |

Briar flare items (sometimes called Betrayer Items based on the original loresong) are scripted flares created by GM Xynwen that are available in three tiers. They were first offered at Ebon Gate 2010 and have since been offered at A Twist of Briars in Bloodriven Village. In addition to their original Briar Weapon form, Briar Accessories are available. Briar flares take the form of a vine that has a chance of injuring the target and poisoning it. Briar flare weapons can have both a long description and a show description. Briar flares are considered a scripted ability. A standard non-scripted flare may be added to items with briar flares. Briar flare weapons do work with Rotflares, and they can take a custom loresong. All briar flare items should be TAPped to retract the thorns before putting it away. Expect pain if this is forgotten. A person can have up to 5 Briar flare items on them, including the weapon, which will add 1 blood point to the total blood pool with each pulse. These will also add +1 per item to the AS boost. Briar WeaponsBriar Weapons also include UCS gloves and boots.AnalyzeYou analyze your blued steel claidhmore and sense that the creator has provided the following information: ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Briar Flares Weapon ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Your blued steel claidhmore is a briar flare weapon and is currently tier 0 of 3. Betrayer Usage: RAISE to invoke the AS boost (weapons only). TAP a betrayer to toggle the thorn attachment. LOOK/MEASURE to see the amount of blood points in the pool. PEER to see the status of your betrayer items. It supports a base, long, and show alteration, but it is up to the merchant if they are comfortable working on it. Unlocking is a limited service. See https://gswiki.play.net/Briar_flare for more information. You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the blued steel claidhmore for you..
Briar AccessoriesBriar Accessories are non-weapon items, including shields, that can contribute to the total blood pool and AS. A person can have up to 5 Briar flare items on them, including the weapon, which will add 1 blood point to the total blood pool with each pulse. These will also add +1 per item to the AS boost. This added functionality is available OTS with Briar Accessories. There are three fluff-based verb unlocks for Briar Accesories. These unlocks do not impact functionality.AnalyzeThis section has not been added yet; please add to it now!
Additional InformationBlood SiphoningWhen one takes hold of the weapon and the thorns dig in, the weapon will dig into the wielder and slowly siphon a health point (HP) off of them, 1 HP every 30 seconds. The collected stored HP is referred to as the blood pool. The blood pool has sometimes been referred to as influence, however this is not the same as the Influence stat. You remove a base sword from in your velvet box. As soon as the base sword is in your hand, several vines of briar and thorn slither out of the top of the blade and twine about your wrist. Droplets of crimson blood are quickly absorbed by the writhing vines. You feel a slight prick as the briar imbedded in your wrist digs a little deeper. The vines writhe briefly, veins of crimson pulsing within the viridian vegetation. As you strike the giant, droplets of blood are sucked from it to your base sword, running up the blade to be absorbed by the vines wrapped around your wrist. 10% of the damage inflicted with a Briar Weapon will be stored as blood points at Tier 3. Poison FlaresHaving enough blood points stored in its greedy vines will allow a flare to go off that has a chance of injuring the target and poisoning it. Each flare costs a seemingly random amount of blood points (approximately 15 to 25) and the flares won't work against creatures that don't have blood. AS BonusBriar flares at all tiers will provide an attack strength (AS) boost when RAISEd, only when the weapon is full, and which will drain it of all stored HPs. The AS boost varies from tier to tier and lasts for one minute at tier one or two, and two minutes at tier three. Combat ExampleYou swing a base sword at a frost giant! AS: +466 vs DS: +215 with AvD: +9 + d100 roll: +2 = +262 ... and hit for 21 points of damage! Minor puncture to the right leg. As you strike the giant, droplets of blood are sucked from it to your base sword, running up the blade to be absorbed by the vines wrapped around your wrist. Vines of vicious briars whip out from your base sword, raking The giant with its thorns. The giant looks slightly ill as the glistening emerald coating from each briar works itself under its skin. ... 30 points of damage! Hard shove to the chest staggers the frost giant. It is knocked to the ground! The frost giant is stunned! Grand Auction of 5123A set of fully unlocked briar flaring items was sold at the Grand Auction of 5123. The following information was shared about the set: Auction Type: Manual Auction Item: a briar-etched widowwood case inlaid with amethyst n'erenael blooms Current Bid/Cost: 10,000,000 silvers You note the following details about a briar-etched widowwood case inlaid with amethyst n'erenael blooms: It appears to weigh about 15 pounds. It is estimated to be worth about 10,000,000 silvers. It is a container with a maximum interior capacity of 100 pounds with room for up to 9 items. It is predominantly crafted of wood. The case can not be worn. Inside the case: an atrous vultite claidhmore inlaid with thorns of crimson phantom sapphire It imparts a bonus of +21 more than usual. It appears to weigh about 6 pounds. It is estimated to be worth about 2,400,000 silvers. It is not weighted to inflict more critical wounds than a normal claidhmore. It is predominantly crafted of vultite. It is an overwhelming project (1,840 difficulty) for an adventurer to modify. It has some unknown (scripted) benefit. The claidhmore is a claidhmore that requires skill in twohanded weapons to use effectively. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Briar Flares Weapon ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Your vultite claidhmore is a briar flare weapon and is currently tier 3 of 3. Betrayer Usage: RAISE to invoke the AS boost (weapons only). TAP a betrayer to toggle the thorn attachment. LOOK/MEASURE to see the amount of blood points in the pool. PEER to see the status of your betrayer items. Inside the case: an ebon-clouded crimson ithaenil rose chained in vaalin thorns Inside the case: a thorn-carved lor earring Inside the case: a bright copper torc capped with ahmdir blue zhiqietz crescents Inside the case: some soft knitted captiql socks with a thorned briar pattern Loresong
