Flare Affinity won't work with any flares that are scripted. Bane flares should be compatible.

The increased frequency is the same as Item Superchargers. The increased potency causes all the flares to be rank 5-9 (before padding, resistance, randomization, etc) (see clip for examples).

This is a new subscript that can go on armaments with standard flares. It should work with any other script. It will be a limited release at Duskruin Mania. The increased frequency does not apply to death flares.

>analyze my dagger
You analyze your drake dagger and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The drake dagger has the property of Flare Affinity, which increases the frequency and potency of standard flares.

You can tell that the dagger is as light as it can get.

What exactly is meant by "standard flares"? Any that only takes up the Cat B slot or just common/uncommon flares?
I'm pretty sure my energy weapons, globus elanthias, and snake flaring dagger won't qualify regardless.... but I could see my magma flaring and water flaring items going either way....


Correct, Category B from the Charts of Clarity wiki page. It does not affect flares from scripts.

Also, if you have this flare affinity AND use a supercharger boost will that further increase the flare frequency?


Yes.
