Weighting Change and 1625 08/05/2017 02:01 PM CDT

With the upcoming change to how weighting is slotted on a weapon, will weighted weapons that are bonded via 1625 gain guiding light flares?

As I gaze over the horizon, the wind tugs at my cloak and whispers, "Adventure" in my ear.

What upcoming change to how weighting is slotted on a weapon?

It was announced that in August/September, weighting/padding will move to its own "slot" on weapons/armor. They will also be offering more weighting/padding services.

I specifically just asked this at the simucon dev roundtable and was given a no, guiding light flares will still not be available on a weighted weapon after this update. Definitely not cool, but that was the answer given.

I did also ask about 1650 and that was met with a "very soon to be released".

Out of curiosity, what other things block flares from 1625? I've finally finished my perfect weapon for life, and am salivating over the possible enhancements I will be able to give it over the years. Want to make sure I don't go craving something that will make me loose those flares.

Just to expand on my comment, I was told that guiding light flares and weighted weapons could work right now, but that it is intended for the paladin to make a choice: weighted weapon or flares.

Now I'm confused...
If weighting and padding has it's own slot then how do weapons with weighting not get flares since flares have their own slot that is shared with weighting? Or am I reading this wrong as in it's not true about the weighting / padding given it's own slot?

Wyrom said one thing, then Estild came in during dev table and said "don't expect to have blessable claids and/or flaring claids" so now we are ALL confused and upset and generally grumpy.

also.. there are weighted weapons other than claids. I know most people think claids are the only weapon in the game, but they DO exist...

I was told by Estild (correct me if I'm wrong here) that you CAN (or should I say "will be able" once released) get a flaring claid, but it'll be on the very rare (think auction/raffle quality) side of things. You'll be much more likely to see a flaring katana than a flaring claid.

Guiding light flares are a different animal from my understanding. It is by design that you can't get guiding light flares on a weighted weapon via 1625.

Correct on both statements. Wyrom posted that it would be possible to bless crit weighted items. That does not mean you should expect to be able to bless a claidhmore. Blessing something that is heavy crit weighting would be much more likely.

Just like how Crusade (1618) can grant flaring to any weapon/attack, Guiding Light flares could have also been coded the same way. It was a design decision to allow flares on weighted weapons.
