[Spellweaving] Question on Arcane Focus

T_Jones

Journeyman
How Arcane Focus strength and lifespan are calculated? Do we have a calculator for it?

I have several toons in a pretty much dead shard, and would consider to create some alt chars to get enough strength and lifespan. So I first need to know how exactly the strength and lifespan are calculated.

Arcane Focus: Duration: 1-5 hours (Skill Level Real / 240, minimum 1) (+1 hour per additional arcanist)
Area of Effect: Caster and up to 4 other arcanists standing within an arcane circle.

  • The caster and up to four participating arcanists must stand inside an arcane circle.
  • Participants must be within 20 spellweaving skill points of each other.
  • When the caster invokes this spell, a magically charged emerald (called an arcane focus) is created for the caster and each participating arcanist.
  • The arcane focus increases duration, spell damage, healing spell effectiveness, and area of effect for the activator’s Spellweaving spells.
  • The level of power of the focus is increased by one if the arcane circle at West Britain Bank or in Prism Of Light is used. This makes a level six focus possible with four other players.
Skill mastery:
Spellweaving Masters will receive one bonus Arcane Focus per Spellweaving Mastery level. Arcane Focus still caps at 6 strength bonus. Spellweaving Masters are able to cast Arcane Circle alone but will not receive circle bonuses.

So 2 x 120 spellweavers, having a vol 3 mastery, can cast a level 6 focus which will last for 6 hours. ( or 1 x 120 + 1 x GM, and both need not have the vol 3, but only the char that does will get the full benefit
