For the devs: ElementalEssences, Bashing Resources

Post by Twily » Fri Jan 26, 2018 6:37 pm

One of the longest debated things I've seen go around on the server is whether or not elemental type impacts effectiveness of harvesting resources, when on a tool that deals a damage that does mine resources. (I've seen both IC and OOC negative/hostile reactions to using such a weapon on any sort of valuable resource)
I've tried to do testing on this, but the randomness of resource quantities has left it inconclusive.


Physical/Electric(essence)
Physical/Fire(essence)
Physical

Would all three of the above weapons be equal when harvesting resources?

If this is one of those things that will remain unanswered, that's fine, just figured I'd ask. :lol:

I think it's great it triggers IC reactions. OOC not so much. It's good to have some mystery.

I'd say, given that it's been there for nearly five years, and it was taken from a forum post by Mithreas, it's probably okay where it is. Just means people need to start reading the wiki!
