Is it possible to update the auto flarer to ignore cat b(ability slot) for rotflares flares token, knockout flares token, and the other tokens that occupy the script slot or are a subscript?

Update! The auto flarer has been approved to work with Knockout flares. This is not yet live -- I'll get this rollin' later today.

(Note: This latest update re: knockout flares does not pertain to bows.)

What about the reverse of this. I have a Low Steel Shield, I was considering adding Banshee Flares to(provided I can snag a token), but I can't get an estimate from the Half Krolvin, My understanding is Banshee and Low Steel can live in harmoney(Low Steel is Cat B, and Banshee is Cat D)

Is this how it's suppose to work?

> As a blanket rule? Unfortunately, no. For now, the auto-flarer is doin' what she can do, and scripted flares on an item will prevent the addition of Category B flares unless Rotflares/Greater Elemental.

The request is for the opposite of what you said: when the existing item has Category B flares and the token adds a script flare like banshee/bubble/knockout. Because the ability to exist on an item that already has Category B flares is one of the things that makes these script flare tokens appealing, the autoflarer not supporting this extremely common scenario is frustrating. I understand that it is not possible to make a blanket rule for already scripted items, but the tokens are already limited to a known set of scripts that don't conflict with Category B.

I would also like someone to look at this. I have tried adding rotflares to several items and it wont work with anything that has cat B, D or enhancives. You show a rotting flesh-covered token to a blue-haired tall and burly half-krolvin. He states, "I can only work rotflares flares into your token if it's otherwise plain. Is this a mistake or is it really by design that it can only be added to completely vanilla stuff?

The auto flarer will soon be able to add rotflares to a runestaff that has the sigil staff script. Please note that the previous restriction for items that already have CatB flares (https://gswiki.play.net/Item_properties) will persist. Other scripted items will need to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis before being allowed to have rotflares added.

Edit: The flarer changed his mind... he will allow this if the runestaff already has CatB flares...

>Could ya'll put a cap on seashell costs?

That certainly would be a nice thing if they capped and adjusted the costs down to add flares.

I wanted to add grapple flares to a weapon, but it costs something stupid, it was either 169k or 139k (I don't remember which). With 10 ToT runs and digging 12 hours a day for 7 days (only finding 1 raffle token that was traded in for 2500 seashells), I'm sitting around 35k seashells. I'm still 100k+ away from being able to add flares to my weapon.

There's nothing really special about it. It is 8x (+40) with crit weighting, I forget how much exactly.

It didn't look like I'll be getting flares added like I wanted to.

The Flarer can now add banshee flares to eligible items that already have a CatB ability.

Autoflarer won't add anything to an item with a Cat B flare (even if the flare in question doesn't conflict with Cat B) Low Steel's mindwrack flares are Cat B.

Is there any way to manually deal with removing the fluff scripts, or is it stuck for this year?

Also, will the flare tokens be useable next year at Ebon?

>Thanks for letting me know, Haliste!

Welcome!

>Is there any way to manually deal with removing the fluff scripts, or is it stuck for this year?

Unless there is a merchant offering a script removal service, you may be stuck with it until at least February, when the Dabbler can help you. I'm pretty sure that script has already been approved for removal, so there shouldn't be a wait for review.

>Also, will the flare tokens be useable next year at Ebon?

I haven't heard that the auto-flarer will not be there, but I haven't really heard that he will, either. So, I don't really know the answer to that.

UPDATES:

* Briar Flares can now be added to bows.
* Rotflares will work with Briar Flares and GEF.

Reminder: When you ask the auto-flarer for an estimate, he will sometimes give a response that is higher than what the flare actually costs. In the case of Briar Flares, he assumes you have a T3 flare token, so he'll tell you a higher estimate than what it would actually cost if the flare token is for a T1 Briar Flare. However, when you GIVE him the token, the estimate he gives you then is accurate, since he can see the details of your token.

>fusion gear

I'll check on that request.

~ Haliste ~
Auntie H, Forever

Looks like this has already been a thing. Did you try to get something added and it was disallowed? Or are you trying to add a scripted flare to an already scripted item? If that is the case, there isn't any compatibility for fusion to be a subscript, so that would be a no-go. But... let me know what it is you were wanting specifically.

I brought a knockout flare token and a +9 zorchar (so lightning flaring) somewhat crit weighted war hammer to the autoflarer, but they won't take it.
That's how it's always worked in past years, but I thought the updates being discussed in here were supposed to make this possible?

Thank you for fixing it, or perhaps he just can't estimate and can apply them.

>show token to half
He folds his hands behind him and with a slight rock backwards states, "According to my calculations, this service will cost 133333 seashells. You can GIVE me your flesh-covered token within 30 seconds if you're interested."


However, can we take a look at Briar Flares pretty please?

>show token to half
You show a prickly leaf-green token to a blue-haired tall and burly half-krolvin. He frowns slightly before saying, "I'm only able to use this leaf-green token on an item that doesn't already have an interfering property. Got something else I could work with?"

Weapon is ghezyte with terror flares. No catD/script on it.

Ghezyte material + CatB flares will never work since the flare on Ghezyte takes up that slot. (Same with low steel.)

[EDIT: Sorry, ghezyte + CatB should work since those flares ARE inherent to the material and do NOT take up the CatB slot -- but Low Steel would not work.]

Also, can you get approval for dispel + knockout flares please?

I'd really like to add knockout flares to my dispel flaring cestus before EG closes.

>dispel + knockout flares

I'll try, but... with it being 10/31 at 7:13 PM for me, I'm not sure I can get this approved/done in time. I'll do my best (assuming it can be approved).

All of these requests are not just a "flip a switch" kind of thing. Scripts and their compatibility with additional properties have to be checked, tested, and then coded into the auto-flarer script.
