Magic Item Destruction 12/06/2009 08:15 PM CST
I just destroyed three runestones and had my inner fire hit each time. Is there something specific that goes into magic item destruction, or is this simply another one of those completely at random things?

If it isn't random, what exactly would I need to "beat" the runestone to get the inner fire bonus? I don't think I've ever gotten the positive aspect, only the negative and the regular one.

Yep.

<<I don't think I've ever gotten the positive aspect, only the negative and the regular one.>>

Welcome to the Barbarian guild: Randomly Painful By Design.

Hopefully that will be changing, though.



I find it odd that you can be surrounded by both a mantle of flame and blades of ice.

Shush, it's magic.. suspend your disbelief

It's not completely random, but has a significant random component in addition to being linked to strength.

Looks like I'll be adding this to the list of ideas. I know a lot of people are both curious and would like to see this ability expanded upon.

I would not mind being able to destroy some scrolls and get a count for title purposes or something. Beyond that, I am not really sure what it should do except maybe restore some IF in addition to killing creatures.

Kodius, I was wondering if we could get an idea of what future guild dev ideas are being pursued, what has to happen, and towards which abilities should our suggestions be directed? I would rather not be floundering around talking about something that has already been decided for or against..or is it too early to say?

I don't want to reveal too much until I've had more of a chance to huddle with the teams and outline our game plan. Once the year-end madness dies down I will make sure to give an update on what changes will be coming quickly, which ones are farther off and the handful that will arrive soon. In the meantime, everyone be safe this Holiday season and have a Happy New Year!
