Elemental weapon enchanting

[Ford Taunus]

Hellos,

I got elemental weapon 70% cold and 30% phys.

I want it 100% cold.. Is it even possible? What happend if I enchance it with agapite for example?

Agapite will do the job.

for 70% / 30% elemental weapons made of iron (smith or tinker),

Bronze will make 70% Fire weapons 100% (bronze applies 40% fire)
Agapite will make 70% Cold weapons 100% (Agapite applies 30% cold, followed by 20% Energy if there's still physical left over)

There's no materials that currently give more than 20% Energy (Copper, which is 20% energy, 10% poison, IIRC, and Verite which is 20% Energy, 40% poison)
There's no materials that apply poison damage first.

So lets say you ended up with a weapon that was 70% poison and 30% phy. If you enhance with Verite, do you get 20 energy and 80% poison?

Then again, maybe that doesn't do you any good, since that will still reduce energy if you use onslaught. I think anyway, if I recall onslaught goes with whichever is 'last' when you look at the character sheet when dealing with weapons multiple damage types

I'm not sure how onslaught works (other than my level 2 swordsmanship mastery appears to be a waste of mana for either choice), but yes the 70% poison weapon becomes 20% energy/80% poison if enhanced with Verite.

Do you have an idea on what the approximate success rate is to enhance from 70% to 100% for fire/cold/poison? I can never seem to get it to work.

No info, other than it's one of the few factors that effects weapon enhancing. They gave us the formulas for the things that change the enhancement chance for armor, but the only one of those really applicable to weapons is the formula for adding Luck.

However, I personally succeed more than fail, when enhancing for elemental damage, compared to luck.
