Strong Metal

[roarkindrake 253]

A new cast for vynora priests for tools. This one would reduce damage taken on tools during actions and slow the repair rate.

[Kegan 3,926]

vynora priest have enough "good" spells if anything the other priest need more love 

[roarkindrake 253]

It could be another priest if wanted. Mag possibly? Since she is like the mining god that goes with metal as well. I just was sticking with tradition

[Old_Lando 178]

Steel does this.  Spell would negate benefits of steel and kill the market.

[roarkindrake 253]

It may do so but if the other servers are anything like Release no one really makes steel tools unless they are making plate. I see a few skiller steel items every now and then but nothing actually above 10ql.

[Old_Lando 178]

True, that is because steel is so expensive to make and the 20% damage reduction really is much more expensive than just buying a couple of iron tools and using them.   

 

If the spell was implemented, then what few people that do use steel tools/weapons would have no reason to consider steel at all.  Far cheaper for a hardness spell and then just imp with iron.   

 

Note, my steel sales are such that I don't really care one way or another, I don't sell below cost and both plate and steel equipment is below cost so what steel work I do is generally for my own amusement.   Just pointing out that steel does have the effect and a spell that did that wold negate any desire for steel items.   I would go the opposite way, rather than lessening steel's advantage I would look at making it more effective, but of course I would be a primary beneficiary if steel became better.

Ehmm.... you could cast that proposed spell on steel tools too, the resistance gap would still be the same.  I dont see how this would negate the advantage of steel over iron.   As a matter of fact, maybe with enough resistance buff (steel+spell) the steel tools and weapons will become more enticing.

Or stack with steel and make it even more desirable.

 

Would maybe be a nice addition, but not as a vyn spell.

Maybe split it into 2 and make a "Oak strength" spell for fo that does this for wood tools. And the "strong metal" for metal tools as a mag spell.

Libila could have a "Will of decay" spell that reduces decay damage on items on your inventory, or damages items equipped by an enemy.

Vynora could have a "Will of water" spell that reduces decay damage on items (removes the water thus preserving them).

I like this idea, gives Fo and mag some needed love. Though I could care less if Vynora does or doesn't get the water one.

I actually edited that one in a few minutes later. Seemed kinda sad that vyn was the only one left out. So i gave vyn the weaker one (but that fits the lore).

+1 to this idea, would add a little to the economy if it stacks with steel.   Maybe a max of 20-30% damage reduction from use.

 

It should be a mag and libila enchant imo.

EXCELLENT IDEA! But yea if added to a steel item it could make the damage ratio 40%. That would make steel a even higher benefactor than before hand with just the 20.
