Symbol of Blessing

Step 2

The Symbol of Blessing, governed by Eonak, is obtained at the second rank of the Order of Voln. Members will be able to use this symbol to bless combat gear with an enchantment bonus equal to their (Voln rank × 2).

For example, a rank 2 member will be able to bless weapons with a +4 enchantment bonus, a rank 10 member will be able to bless +20 enchant bonus items (Vultite), and at rank 25 members will be able to bless any blessable magical metal. Maximum item enchant bonus is +50. These items are commonly referred to as 10x.

• Weapon must be blessable and free of any bless. Will not function with flared or weighted weapons.
• Each swing will reduce the number of blesses remaining by one. This includes swings that do not connect with a target.
• Is not effective on aquamarine wands.

Syntax

• Hold (WEAPON) in right hand and type SYMBOL OF BLESSING MY <WEAPON NAME> to employ the symbol.

Number of Blesses

The number of blesses is equal to the blesser's level + (2 × voln rank).

Example for a level 20 member at voln rank 18

20 + (2 × 18) = 56 blesses

Symbol Use Favor Cost

Favor cost is based on the member's level. See Order of Voln Symbols table [1] for specific examples. The favor cost for blessing magical items is approximately 5x greater than non-magical items.

Q. How does this work for low level characters? Will they run out of favor blessing their own weapon?

A. Very likely not. A level 4 character is granted the ability to perform one Sym of Blessing (non magical item) for each level 1 undead creature released.

Q. How many swings is that?

A. 8 swings for a level 4, rank 2 member.

Number of blesses = (level + (Rank * 2)

Obtaining Symbol of Blessing

Talk to the second monk on the Path to Enlightenment for instructions. Upon obtaining the requisite favor and completing the assigned task, the monk will teach the member the Symbol of Blessing.

Favor Requirement to Obtain Symbol

Formula: [100 + (( level² × 5 ) ÷ 3 )]

Example lvl 5 member:

100 + ((5 × 5 × 5) ÷ 3) = 141 favor

Example lvl 10 member:

100 + ((10 × 10 × 5) ÷ 3) = 266 favor
