Custom Flare Messaging

With just over a month until Ebon Gate, GM Thandiwe is the first one with a LEAK! There will be about a dozen flares that can be customized, including Fire, Cold, Electricity, and 7 more! She shows those three, but keeps the 7 under wraps, the tease! the Officials. She offered these FAQs in a subsequent post:

  • Runestaves? Yes, if they already possess one of the 10 flare types.
  • Bless? Not at this time.
  • Work with Scripts? Yes, so long as they don't have a customized flare message already.
  • What Flares? For Ebon Gate this year it is fire, cold, electricity, acid, vacuum, plasma, steam, unbalance, grapple, and impact.
  • Any weapon? Any weapon that already has a flare in it that is also one of the flare-types listed above.
  • These can be added to your already flaring weapon. The certificate does not provide the flare, too. In order to add the acid message to a weapon, you must have an acid weapon and an acid certificate.
  • This does not take up the flare slot.

And now with more flares! GM Thandiwe previews Fire, Cold, and Acid messaging for the two other kinds of flares. The first was the Ghezresh flavor (dragon eel); now look for the Ebon Gate (Ghosts) and Caligos Isle (whip) flaring in her second posting at the Officials.

These custom flare messages will be on certificates that you apply yourself which will be found at Ebon Gate. READ and ANALYZE will be your friend.

Fancy Sheaths

GM Sindin is bringing us some sheaths with lots of zesty styling. Not boring, he calls them, and here's the preview from the Forums:

>You awkwardly stab at your patchwork tin sheath with your golvern broadsword before finally managing to stow it.

>You draw your golvern broadsword from your eahnor scabbard with a bold flourish, ready to leap into the fray!

>You polish your vruul skin thigh-sheath's dark kelyn throat to a gleaming shine.

Gemcutter Patterns

GM Valryka offers only that one phrase of hope to gemcutter fans everywhere, "gemcutter patterns" at the officials.

Voln Armor

GM Quilic brings the news that there will be limited quantities of Voln Armor for sale, off the shelf. Plus, there will be a few lucky winners for Voln unlocks. GS Forums Announcement link

Something New to Weave On

GM Valryka's previewing something new for you to weave on at the Officials:

>You weave a twisted vaalin link into a woven chain of twisted vaalin links.

>You weave a small golden lotus blossom into a woven chain of twisted vaalin links.

>You are holding a simply woven necklace of twisted vaalin links and small golden lotus blossoms in your right hand.
