Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
To whom it may concern,
Not sure what is FOIG/not but I just finished the topic blade on my level 20 Orog PC. It's a very interesting blade, I am not sure if anyone else has made one yet so want to ensure it's working properly.
As of now I don't get any of the +4 EB that's mentioned, but I do see the messages in the combat window whenever the weapon is equipped/unequipped, appearance is changed, or RP EXP tick a "nCount" number goes up 1 tick and I get a message "your bond has strengthened".
I sat and equipped/unequipped a couple thousand times over the last day so the ncount number is over 2000, I see no ncount or any such messages when using the item in combat. I did notice if you equip another weapon the bond is reset.
Bottomline question is: is it working correctly? I want to ensure I'm moving some sort of needle toward getting that +4 EB, not sure how it's supposed to work, but also want to respect any FOIG aspects.
Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Rosh

Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
You should be able to test it pretty easily IG. First, check what is your combat AB with a nondescript greatsword. Attack an indestructible object like a door, check the AB. Then switch to your yummy orog sword and check again. If the orog greatsword attack has +4, you're golden!

Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Thanks for the reply! The Character Sheet confirms the EB, with AB and Bonus Damage are not reflected. It's not a simple thing like an elven moon blade I presume, the blade "requires" the bond to strengthen to take advantage of the full attributes of the blade. My question is how does one strengthen that bond? Right now the only thing I see moving the needle is time and equipping/unequipping the blade.Opustus wrote:You should be able to test it pretty easily IG.

I'm sure this sounds confusing, but there is some sort of bond system attached to the weapon.

P.S. You never want to switch to another weapon when using this, it "resets the bond". I assume making you lose all progress. It seems a true Sword Saint type weapon that grows with the bearer.
P.P.S
I should also mention with an ncount over 2000 there have been no visible changes to the blade performance. No additional EB granted.
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
My guess is that the "strengthened bond" is only to notify the player that the Orog bonus has been activated and that the sword will not grow stronger over time.

Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Definitely hasn't activated. Missing plus 4 AB and 4 damage. Curious what a dev/DM has to say Titania was unfamiliar and directed me here.

Weird! If memory serves, I think it was Kirito who engineered that baby into the world. I'll poke him on Discord, so he knows to look into it when he can.

Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Excellent! Thank you.
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
So long as you're an orog, the abilities should just appear when you equip it. the Counter shouldn't do anything (for that weapon)
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Yes he is an Orog and isn't getting the plus 4 EB. Any idea what I should do to correct?
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Nothing obvious is wrong in the code, can you put up a screen shot showing the messages you get when you equip? (The counter shouldn't be going higher than 1 or 2 i think... which is in itself a little worrying if you're hitting 2000)
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Also (just checking) when was the orog created? (I.e. was it something from a long time ago that might not be have the subrace set - clutching at straws there )
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Screenshots incoming.
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Screenshots sent via PM.
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Not sure what happened, perhaps someone fixed it? I no longer see the bond message and I have my plus 4 EB IG! Thank you
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Actually negative.. when I logged in it was fixed and then a RP EXP thing just ticked, message came back and took the 4EB away again
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Perfect (Well... for me) narrows things down a bit

Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Great! Let me know if you need anything of me.
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Oh another thing. Is it supposed to be runic like the elven moonblade or no?
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
No, not runic:)

Kirito- More error messages for you: https://imgur.com/a/i2NCJ
Re: Orog Heavy Blade (Greatsword) Bond
Thanks, did you get the enchantment bonus for any of the time you were wielding it there?
