Lore Flares

This article is a work in progress!

Lore Flares, previously called a variety of names: DoTFlares, NotRots... consist of the following Combat Flourish types released in August of 2024. They are applied to weapons and runestaves.

• Lore Flares produce a single initial attack upon the flare triggering, followed by damage over time (DoT) that repeats.
• The base flare rate for Lore Flares is 25%, which is higher than the standard flare rate.
