The Symbol of Blessing is obtained at the second rank of the Order of Voln. The member will be able to Bless combat gear with an enchantment up to her Voln rank times 2 (VolnRank * 2). For example at Step 2, you will be able to bless gear with an echantment value up to +4. By Step 25, you will be able to bless any blessable magical metal.

Syntax

  • Hold a (WEAPON) in your right hand and type SYMBOL OF BLESSING MY <WEAPON NAME> to employ the symbol. Symbol of Blessing has no effect on aquamarine wands.

Blesses

Symbol of Blessing blesses a weapon for a number of swings equal to the blesser's level plus twice the blesser's rank in the Order of Voln:

Swings = Blesser's Level + (2 × Blesser's Voln rank)

Each swing will reduce the number of blesses remaining by 1. This includes swings that do not connect with a target.

Favor Cost

Symbol of Blessing uses 10 units of favor for non magical blesses and 48 units of favor for magical blesses.

Note: Characters under level 40 have a reduced favor cost which scales with level.

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)
