With the Volatile Gauge artifact, does Emberstone (-1 mana cost upgrade) do anything?

[Stormy]

As in, do you get -1 to the final cost in hand or does it just not do anything for drawn spells. I assume it's the latter.

It does nothing.

Don't lie when you don't know how it works.

All cost reduction still works, that's a fact. A -2 cost spell will always cost 0 or 1.

I tried it when I picked up the relic and it didn't work that way. Sadly I don't have a screenshot. Do you?

It did work that way, unless you were in the beta and in that case stop giving advice for the full game based on beta experience because anyone in the beta knows it was a completely different game.

There's the link to the official discord with the patch notes, for the specific quote you look at the May 20th patch, which means yes it was in the game before launch, so no you did not see it work any other way unless you were in the beta.

"4. GAMEPLAY - made Volatile Gauge respect ember cost reductions from merchant upgrades, Reform, Pyre-Gro, etc."

So yes, for anyone on any version of the game that came out at launch or later, Volatile Gauge respects all cost reductions, either from merchant upgrades or card uses.

Thanks for the link, I stand corrected. Pity about your behaviour.

Thanks.

Pity for you feeling the need to spread bad info about a game that it's hard to find good information on sometimes. If you feel I'm being rude, it's because I am, because if you're not coddled maybe you'll think twice next time before giving someone information you didn't verify and tricking them into believing something wrong, making more people spread misinformation.

Hate it when people ascertain things as true when they're not sure. Thankfully there's people like you who do their due diligence and correct them. Thanks.

As a releated addon the cost increase from removing consume also applies after the randomization.
