The base concept of the weapon line is a weapon that can be loaded with elemental essences, and fired at creatures. This script cannot be placed on existing items. This weapon can be unlocked a lot. There are a plethora of potential upgrades, and each upgrade can be further upgraded. These are not including the fluff unlocks. These are being sold OTS with base stats, and no upgrades. Each weapon can be upgraded at least 9 times. They hold the elemental power of the metal they are made out of or adorned with: gornar, zorchar, drakar, or rhimar. Each weapon off the shelf will be a 4x weapon. All the messaging is tied to the associated element of the weapon. These will be available OTS for polearms, and runestaves.

'''Shock Weapons''' are weapons that can be loaded with elemental essences ([[essence of fire]], [[essence of water|water]], [[essence of earth|earth]], and [[essence of air|air]]) and fired at creatures. They were originally sold at [[EGShop:Pole Party|Pole Party]] at the 2015 [[Ebon Gate]] festival in the form of polearms and runestaves. This [[script]] '''cannot''' be placed on existing items. They can be unlocked up to 9 times in 8 different properties. In addition, fluff tied to the element of the weapon may be unlocked that are not included in the 9 mechanical unlocks.


The metal they are made out of or adorned with determines the element that will be fired: gornar, zorchar, drakar, or rhimar. Each weapon off the shelf is four times enchanted.
The Verb/fluff upgrades are separate and easier to find and receive

Additionally, unlocks at EG were limited to the venue. Only one single parameter could be unlocked, unless you were spun, caught a fishook, or won a raffle (that was not announced, and was placed during unlocking sessions). You could also only win at most one additional unlock.

Shock weapons had a significant script update in 2022. This article does not yet reflect those updates. See the Discord Announcement.

Shock Weapons are weapons that can be loaded with elemental essences (essence of fire, water, earth, and air) and fired at creatures. They were originally sold at Pole Party at the 2015 Ebon Gate festival in the form of polearms and runestaves. This script cannot be placed on existing items. They can be unlocked up to 9 times in 8 different properties. In addition, fluff tied to the element of the weapon may be unlocked that are not included in the 9 mechanical unlocks.

The metal they are made out of or adorned with determines the element that will be fired: gornar, zorchar, drakar, or rhimar. Each weapon off the shelf is four times enchanted.

Additional Information

Information shared by Farain at EG Regarding Shock Lances (which includes all weapons in the line, not just lances):

There are basically 3 types of unlocks, fluff, parameter (or upgrades), and auction quality.

There are 2 fluff unlocks.

Each parameter is upgraded independently, and each weapon has more combined unlocks from parameters than allowed unlocks for the weapon, which means two "fully unlocked" weapons could be very different. Each upgrade description tells you what the NEXT upgrade will give you, not the maximum possible.

The auction quality unlocks teased so far were ambients and elemental wave

Cooldown Caps at 2 Unlocks, 5 Minute cooldown. At Maximum Unlocks, Charge Efficiency becomes "only uses a charge when it has feedback." I believe this is 3 unlocks but I am not sure. At Maximum Unlocks, Feedback Chance becomes zero. This means that a properly unlocked weapon will no longer need ammo.

Note however that a weapon that unlocks Cooldown, Charge Capacity, and Feedback will have unlimited use (aside from breaking) but will still break, and will have the lowest power.

Additionally, unlocks at EG were limited to the venue. Only one single parameter could be unlocked, unless you were spun, caught a fish hook, or won a raffle (that was not announced, and was placed during unlocking sessions). You could also only win at most one additional unlock.
