(A) Poison Hammer

[Narvad]

I've made a 5-star Poison Hammer with "(A)" prefix a few days ago, it has stat "+2,5 armor per engaging Vigor foe(A)", which allows to easily clear Mushroom Forest (4* blue so far) by stacking armor though the level(from 100 armor on 5* and up to 900 armor on 4* blue) and beating the boss while he deals with all of that armor.

But I can't really replicate it right now. Tried pretty much every recipe out there(like first making an (A) runestone shield, then adding a sword, different slots etc.), and multiple times. It's either not possible anymore, or really rare?

If you want to get a different bonus, simply swap left and right slot when you fuse. Try starting from a wand : Wand + element = D, element + wand = d

In this case :
Shield + wand
poison + stone shield
Sword + poison shield = A

ps = i'm using the beta

Yeah, that's what i've meant by "different slots". It's either aP or D now when making a hammer.
aP gives like 0.25 armor per engaging vigor foe and -damage poison debuff.
D gives damage against vigor foes.

In this case :
Shield + wand
poison + stone shield
Sword + poison shield = A

I'm getting D Hammer.

ps = i'm using the beta

The changes to an upgrade mechanic are already out of beta though.

That's weird I have consistent result using the same thing across all the type of weapons since I'm in the beta.

[edit for clarification]

Recap of what i get in current beta : cannot make D or aP hammer myself Oo

Stone shield + Poison = Poison shield A
Poison + Stone shield = Poison shield ap

Wand + poison = poison wand D
Poison + wand = poison wand dp

stone sword + poison = poison sword D
poison + stone sword = poison sword dP



Stone hammer + poison = poison hammer A
poison + stone hammer = poison hammer dp

hammer + poison wand dp = poison hammer A
hammer + poison wand D = poison hammer A

poison wand dp + hammer = poison hammer dp
poison wand D + hammer = poison hammer dp

poison shield ap + sword = poison hammer dp
poison shield A + sword = poison hammer dp

sword + poison shield ap = poison hammer A
sword + poison shield A = poison hammer A

poison sword dP + shield = poison hammer dp
poison sword D + shield = poison hammer dp

shield + poison sword dP = poison hammer A
shield + poison sword D = poirson hammer A


What's weird I have a aL hammer made recently and cannot make it again using same way. Does it change based on current day/hour/etc ? Or some stupid thing like this

[Narvad]

Launched beta, run the same tests.
This part:

Stone shield + Poison = Poison shield A
Poison + Stone shield = Poison shield ap

Wand + poison = poison wand D
Poison + wand = poison wand dP

stone sword + poison = poison sword D
poison + stone sword = poison sword dP

Is the same, but then:

Stone hammer + poison = poison hammer D
poison + stone hammer = poison hammer aP

hammer + poison wand dP = poison hammer D
hammer + poison wand D = poison hammer D

poison wand dP + hammer = poison hammer aP
poison wand D + hammer = poison hammer aP

poison shield ap + sword = poison hammer aP
poison shield A + sword = poison hammer aP

sword + poison shield ap = poison hammer D
sword + poison shield A = poison hammer D

poison sword dP + shield = poison hammer aP
poison sword D + shield = poison hammer dp

shield + poison sword dP = poison hammer A (!)
shield + poison sword D = poirson hammer A (!)

(!) it seem like something changed midway the test was done, since right now i'm also getting A hammer when combining hammer + poison wand dP = poison hammer A
Doesn't seem to be able to make D Poison Hammer right now.

Wow, I just don't get it.

I have a strong feeling that this being the case.

And I think that even random(A/D on the left slot, ap/dp on the right slot) occurrence is better than restricting it by "time"(if that's being the case).

Also I've noticed that "ap" and "dp" prefixes being inconsistent - sometimes second letter is uppercase, sometimes lowercase, without any effects being changed.

[Oragepoilu]

Interesting. i'v try accross all type i want to get but Iclearly do not get as much possibility as you do ( I only get two type of each weapon no less no more, and no change in lowercase or uppercase)
I might want to run this again tomorrow and see.

The ability a hammer or staff gets depends on the last rune you broke off a hammer/staff and added to the stack of runes in your inventory. Right now your poison rune stack is ap/D. Farm a poison staff dp and break off the rune to change your stack to dp/A.

Tested it right now. It appears just as you've said.

[Oragepoilu]

Oh, great. So I need to keep crafted rune to have all the bonus Iwant.

Glad to have my theory further confirmed.
