Elemental Charges

Elemental Charges

Does the hermit staff only ignore the elemental charge prerequisite for intermediate magic, or does it lack the elemental charge system entirely?

Sozen Cratos Focker (talk)05:43, 15 August 2013

There's no charging at all.

Meru (talk)05:50, 15 August 2013

Are you sure about that? I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure you can still charge it for extra bolt elemental damage.

In the Hilwen Nightmare RP, I didn't get any onscreen messages or effects on the staff after like 50 bolts, and bolt damage appeared to be the same, that's why I brought it up here(Didn't emmideately change the tables because some things are just different inside the RP).

I just tested it right now in Hillwen's Nightmare. No its not chargeable.

I have like 6 of the staffs, I'm sure about this.

Meru (talk)15:06, 15 August 2013
 

How?! How the hell did you get six Hermit's Staffs?!

Grind grind grind man. In Alexina, people got r1 engineering by day 3...

That was from engineering glitch abuse, just saying. (No not drilling abuse.)

Pyro - (Talk)15:31, 15 August 2013
 

There's an abuse?...well that's news to me.

まそっぷ ! (talk)15:47, 15 August 2013
 

Never heard of it either...

Infodude575 (talk)15:55, 15 August 2013
 

...let's not tread that territory...but yeah Hermit's staves do not charge elementals.

Which is better: gradually strengthening intermediate magic spells over time or using them straight off the bat?

Infodude575 (talk)10:03, 15 August 2013

I'm not sure what you're asking because that question didn't make much sense.

Sozen Cratos Focker (talk)12:33, 15 August 2013
 

To have elemental charges or not to have elemental charges? To supercharge intermediate magic, or use their unbuffed variants instantly?

Infodude575 (talk)12:45, 15 August 2013
 

The staff page says that only bolts get the buff.

If it did apply to int magic, the hermit staff would have to be fully upgraded from the highest crafted version(+8) to get 1% more magic dmg than the others, assuming both dmg %s are applied in the same part of the formula. As for which is subjectively better, that's a question for a forum, not a wiki.

I don't like how it's worded right now.

 
 
Does not require to be charged in order to cast intermediate magic skills.
 

 

 
 
Unlike other staves, the Hermit's Staff can not be charged with elementals. However, Fireball, Thunder, and Ice Spear can still be used without elemental charges.
 

 

What?

まそっぷ ! (talk)12:40, 15 August 2013
 

It seems that the first is somehow tied with the template, so I have no idea how to get rid of it.

The second is based on what Meru said: You can't charge it at all, but you can use intermediate magic like having a wand of the respective element.

Infodude575 (talk)12:47, 15 August 2013
 

I know, I have one. People offer me some ridiculous offers I do not want :c
