Rotflares
RotFlares are a rare type of script flare. They are unusual in that they increase in frequency and severity with necromancy training, do damage over time, and can be added to weapons that already have another script (for many but not all scripts). They are applied to weapons and runestaves.
Release and Availability
Rotflares were released by Skyrn at Ebon Gate 2014. He added rotflares to 5 weapons in Prime through a variety of distribution methods, including a contest for who had the most necromancy ranks and a silent auction. That same event, a rotflares weapon was found while digging.
Rotflares have since been available at multiple runs of Duskruin Arena.
Mechanics
For weapons, rotflares trigger at the following observed rates:
| Ranks of necromancy | Flares | Hits | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 15 | 53 | 28% |
| 90 | 13 | 39 | 33% |
| 136 | 42 | 100 | 42% |
| 171 | 15 | 15 | 100% |
Wyrom confirmed that the ranks in the table above are the specific threshold ranks.
