Are there are any clerics who could share their experience on how many strikes you get from this commune? It looks like the Duration/Strikes data on the epedia page are out of date and/or just plain incorrect. We're also missing the messaging for the commune. Feel free to edit anything else you see missing or unclear. Thanks!

Does theurgy skill or devotion level affect strike count Liurilias or is 599 strikes the cap as well as the norm for Kertigen's Commune now? Curious if there's any variation on strike count when the commune is used by clerics of different skills/devotion.

When I picked it up recently I had maybe a handful of theurgy ranks more than the 8th circle requirement, so something like say 30ish ranks, and IIRC I got 70 strikes the first time I tried the commune.

>>One thing I've noticed about both Bless and Kertigen's Commune is the blesses doesn't persist through weapon/item changes when you have a weapon like a katavdar that changes from weapon to tailband.

I think that's how it [currently] works for all items that "literally" change what they are as objects (as opposed to just having some stuff change like typical swapping weapons). So your ring-weapons from Grey Raven, those exo weapons (I think), ice blades, etc. fall under the same umbrella.

That's also why you can't do things like use platinum sigils to bond brooms/carpets/etc – because the system is literally loading/unloading brand new items when they're activated.

Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

>>Bonding mechanics work with katavdars. Not sure how different the other items are coded but maybe whatever makes katavdars bondable throughout item shifts can be adapted for grey raven rings/brooms/carpets/etc and maybe for spell effects.

Hence the [currently] in what I said above. Bonds don't drop on ice blades, but I can't speak to how they work on the rings (they kinda handle it naturally so it's less of a thing).

Ok, just bought a broadsword from the shop here on Kresh to check and see if the number of blesses would keep scaling, it appears it does.

> COMMUNE KERTIG

You whisper a prayer over the flame-tempered broadsword. Slowly, and then more rapidly, a warm glow surrounds the weapon, consuming it in furious fire. When it fades, the broadsword is covered in a fine white powder that wipes off easily.

The flame-tempered broadsword is powerfully blessed and should last for 720 more strikes.
Roundtime: 4 sec.

Theurgy: 1300 55.04% attentive (10/34)

>>So, in case anybody was wondering, it appears that the weapon pawned for more with the commune on it than without. I know we're talking about a minute amount, but, found that interesting is all.

Did it appraise more? IIRC, like furriers and gem shops, pawn shops have an RNG applied to their formulas.

Ah, did not know that, never paid attention to it before, if I had junk then I just sold it if I could.

On the talk page looks like someone put 1131 Theurgy got them 642 strikes, so another data point.
Also, I should rank Theurgy sometime today so I'll get another weapon and do it again, see if it goes up at all from 1300 to 1301.

Another low point:

Theurgy: 79 86.15% attentive (10/34)
>perc swo
The bastard sword is powerfully blessed and should last for 108 more strikes

Here's the best fit line given the data so far:

f(x) = m*x + b

f(x) = # of strikes
x = Theurgy skill
b = 110 +/- 10
m = 0.477 +/- 0.015

Using rounded numbers this would most likely be something like:

Strikes = 0.475 * Theurgy skill + 100

This assumes there are no other factors like circle or stats. It is also just a best fit line of 8 data points so it is only an approximation.

Ok... 1301 Theurgy, still at high devotion, still 720 strikes. I'll try to remember to maybe check this out every like 20-30 ranks, see if/when it changes again.

453 strikes @ 720 Theurgy.
