Announcement 3 - Material Purification

Discord Message Link: Material Purification
Author: GM Estild
Date: 2/1/2026

To continue on @Zissu’s work of material purification which he debuted at the recent auction with purified adamantine and eonake, this thread will preview a few other materials that will be available at the upcoming Duskruin.

• Purified sephwir
• Purified rhimar
• Purified zorchar
• Purified faewood
• Purified drakar
• Purified gornar

Faewood:
This material has a chance to trigger a fire flare against undead targets that is slightly stronger than standard flares. When it triggers, it also grants Imaea's Blessing, bestowing Quickness (-3 seconds) and +25 AS / +15 CS for one attack. Quickness is a new status condition that grants haste (martial or magical) for a set duration or number of attacks.

Sephwir:
This material has a chance to cause ammunition to splinter upon impact. If a secondary target fails a standard maneuver roll (SMR), they are affected by a standard puncture flare, even if the initial attack was fatal. If no other target is present, the splinter can flare against the primary target. Additionally, all ranged attacks using a pure sephwir bow receive a -1% evade chance.

Drakar, Gornar, Rhimar, and Zorchar:
These materials have a chance to trigger an elemental flare that is slightly stronger than normal. When this occurs, there is a 25% chance to trigger a second flare that is stronger than the first and significantly more powerful than standard flares. (edited)Thursday, February 5, 2026 8:50 PM

Ever find the perfect rock and just want to bring it around with you everywhere you go? Well, the wait is over! Just seek out a battered, grime-covered tent near the Locksmehr River encampment and talk to the gnoll. I highly recommend ASKing the gnoll about things before searching the wares on the shelves, especially about dwarves (IYKYK).

This shop will be a delayed open, aiming for 2/15
