Nerve staves have had a bit of an update; just in time for the Rumor Woods mania-esque event!
Affinity Updates:
--At T4, you will gain/lose affinity at 2x the rate, making it easier to burn off someone else's affinity and then build yours back up
--at T5, you will gain affinity at 3x the rate and lose it at 2x. Once a calendar month, you can POKE your runestaff and reset affinity to 0.
--at T6, you will gain/lose the same as T5, but you can POKE to reset as often as you like
Tier 5 (New):
--Sells for 25,000 bloodscrip
--PROD: toggles your Muscle Memory from a CM effect to a +5 boost to SMR defense. The chance for it to flare is a standard flare chance and not the enhanced chance you get with MM CM. You cannot have both boosts simultaneously, and you cannot PROD while in combat.
--RAISE: while under the effect of either MM effects, you can RAISE to "eat" the effect (it removes it from you) and gain a one-cast bonus (+25 AS or + 15 CS)
--BERSERK: increases to 2x/day usage
--Misery Flares: There are 3 possible misery flares. If one flares, you trigger a chance to get one of the other 2, and if you get it, then you have a chance to trigger the third
--2 new fluff verbs (brush and lick)
Tier 6 (New):
--This is an auction-level tier only and will not be sold off-the-shelf
--Doubles Muscle Memory bonuses (+20 CM/+10 SMR)
--Doubles the AS/CS bonus for consuming MM (+50 AS/+30 CS)
--Increases berserk to 3x/day
--WAVE: You can WAVE (STAFF) to cause AOE misery flares. 3-minute cooldown
--1 new fluff verb (twist)
