How do you give weapon elemental damage ?

[Wanttobe1337]

Hey, I was watching some older youtube videos where they put a gem into weapon and it turned into flaming version (each attack would do little fire damage as well as physical). But when I tried to put gem into mine, it simply said +11% heat damage so if I understand it right, I simply get more out of heat rune / fire weapon oil now.

Were gems simply changed and it's no longer possible or are there better gems later on that do give elemental damage?

Besides runes, the only elemental weapon I got comes from crucible chests in the last room. And it's not gem or enchants, the element just comes with the weapon. I guess they don't want us to make elemental weapons on our own.

Its a enchantment from Eleanor its not garanteed though to get a elemental stat though but they do drop aswell I got & use a electric dmg infusion wep.

All the gems used to add elemental effects, and I am seeing nothing now (although the oils and runes seem to work).

If this is intentional it makes me a little sad lol as I liked being able to add that effect and see it. Maybe they wanted only the oils/runes to show effects temporarily.

Would still love a "milder" effect just to show something again.

I was wondering the same. Gems just increase the fire damage % now, instead of adding. So ig it only works when you’re using runes?

You can no longer add elemental damage with infusion (gems), but you can roll for the elemental damage infusion using Fallen Embers i kept rolling on my Claymore (blue quality) and i got Heat Damage infusion, now the weapon is always on fire like always having the oil and deals fire damage.

I'm just not sure if its a 100% conversion of damage type, it seems to just deal fire damage now, the dmg number are always orange,

I think developer set the chance of elemental infusion mod way too low.
Consider this mod is something exclusively on weapon, it should have higher chance than generic mod.

The chance is so low I only see it 3 times with 2 Play through until lost huntress

Hi! Do you know how oil damage scales on weapon? For example if I use fire oil on sword, does added fire damage to weapon damage scales from int?

You can put elemental damage on weapon with enchant, gems or oil.
