Category talk:Flares
Was pondering adding "nacreous flares" (the material flares for white alloy) to the list of rare flares, but wasn't sure if we had an official name for this. When it flares, non-corporeal undead are treated as corporeal. It has a flare rate of 25%. Would it make sense to add that to this flare list and then update white alloy? Any feedback would be appreciated. - DUNGEONCRAWLERS (talk) 19:58, 16 March 2024 (CDT)
- The page for [white alloy] lists them as "Non-Corporeal Undead Bane" flares, so I'd think it'd be best to add "Bane" as it's own category of flares (like "script" and "blessing") with the various types of bane listed in that category. Honestly, the way flares are categorized here needs an overhaul... aside from being archaic, it's not very helpful and confusing it you're not already familiar with item properties. I'd like to see "Common", "Uncommon", and "Rare" condensed into a new "Standard" category, a new one for "Material Properties" (for flares like Ghezyte and Xazkruvrixis), and a new one for spells or player services (Sonic weapons, Ensorcellment, Elemental Blade, etc) that add flares to gear. I'd be happy to put in the work to make that happen if there's support for it. OM1E5GA (talk) 10:27, 17 March 2024 (CDT)
The Non-Corporeal Undead Bane is an additional material property not the material flares. The Bane property provides +8 CER damage weighting against non-corporeal undead as a constant effect. White alloy **also** has a material flare that causes non-corporeal undead to be treated as corporeal. I called it "nacreous flare" because of the flares appearance (see below):
You swing a glowing white sacred warsword at a ghostly gigas shield-maiden! A nacreous aura flares up around your sacred warsword! AS: +762 vs DS: +516 with AvD: +34 + d100 roll: +32 = +312 ... and hit for 56 points of damage! Slash to the gigas shield-maiden's left hand! Several fingers fly!
The flare isn't mentioned on the White Alloy page except as "Finally, it has the unique ability that all attacks against non-corporeal undead have a 25% chance to treat the undead as corporeal." DUNGEONCRAWLERS (talk) 12:50, 17 March 2024 (CDT)
