So I got a Valorite Runic Hammer.... What to make..?

[Invalid]

Just imbue the val hammer and blow everyone's minds.

You could just dupe the hammer and sell it on your Luna vendor like everyone else there does.

I would burn the hammer. What the hell, if you get lucky, you could get an awesome item.

However, if you do use it, and attempt something that you are not 100%/100% success/exceptional success on, make sure you are wearing a good talisman. Nothing like failing at something and then realizing that you could have had 100% success.

Burn the hammer, with the expectation that you'll get nothing. When you do, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Oh, and for all of those saying Val hammers are worthless, etc...

In your face.

WOW.... I need a chest full of val hammers so all my armor pieces can look like that

I will give my results tonight. Going to LAN at a friends. We are going to smoke cigarettes, eat fast food, and burn a Val.

This is a perfect example of why imbuing has somewhat made these magnificent weapons not so glorious anymore....

I would have done un-reputable things to get an axe like that in the past! But anymore, I'll just imbue me a nice axe and get the same effect that he gets..

How much would one of those have sold for....say a year prior to imbuing?? 100mill minimum??

You're going to imbue with:

DI
SSI
DCI
HML
HSL
HLL
HP
HP Regen

Do tell..

ok smartass, you know what I was saying. i will imbue an axe with SSI, DI, Mana leech, Stam leech and whatever else and enhance for the split damage...essentially the same weapon without the additional "show off" mods.

I swear some people are up tight...lol

Gross.....Gross...and waste of money

Can't you add HPI 4 and HPR 1 to a imbued weapon too?

If it's a carp wep, w/ bloodwood (HPR). Not if metal, though.

Highlights from my burn session...

You might wanna read your recipes...

 

[G.v.P]

You can't enhance with a recipe though ;P. Once item has over 5 mods you can't imbue it. But you can make some pretty interesting bows/carp weps w/ imbue and then enhance them, in which case imbuing can trump runic.

So with imbue you could make a 40 DI, 30 SSI, HPI 4, HPR 1, HSL 44 wep ... if you roll SSI and HSL, but then you can't add anything else ;P. Which is why runics are still nice for smithys.

OOo wolves...

...If you have 16% HML then you get a random number 0-16 that is a percentage applied to the total damage from the weapon. So if you roll a 5 then you get 5% of the total damage back as mana. Say the damage was 20 then 20*0.05=1 mana increase.

If you have 66% HML then you get a number from 0-66 and that number is a percentage applied to the total damage back as mana. You could roll a zero or 5 or whatever up to 66.

Wrong?

-Lorax

You got it wrong for HML & HLL, but I think that's how it works for HSL. Two parts here:
1)If weapon has 66% HML, it means this is the percentage chance to have this property go off. So you have a good chance of it going off (more than half the time per hit). A 16% HML weap will go off very little.
2) As to how much you leech? You could roll a zero - xx (not sure what the math is). It's not zero -66 as you think. It's some other fuzzy math, but be assured it's a small amount of leech from the damage you do to the creature (but still useful). Same thing with Hit Life Leech (not as useful IMO). Hit Stamina Leech hasn't been nerfed this way and is in it's original math (as you listed above, I believe).

Lorax has it right, Hildebrand has it backwards (switch the HML and HLL with HSL in what he says).

Hold on a sec. I think you guys got it backwards. Are you saying that a weap with 66%HML can roll between 0-66 as a percentage applied to the total damage from the weapon?? So if you roll a 66 then you get 66% of the total damage back as mana??. Say the damage was 20 then 20*0.66=13 mana increase???? How about 100 damage? Leeches 66 mana???
This does not make sense.

Now I have to drill through all those publish notes and Five on Fridays to find the formula. I wish there was a flat file of these notes so that we could search for "leech".

I could look it up, but I'll let you do it. It is something like that, but not quite that. It is 66% and then I think there is some kind of modifier or multiplier applied. But mana leech and life leech are applied on every hit. Stamina leech is handled the old way which is a percentage chance per hit.

As far as I know, the damage is first multiplied by 0.4 before the percentage is taken off (0.2 for archery weapons), so for 20 damage, you can gain 66% of (20*0.4) or 0-5 mana for that hit.

But my information regarding that formula is over 3 years old and I'm not about to test it myself (because I'm such a lazy bum).

This sounds right.

 

[Hildebrand]

Farsight has it right.

So HML & HLL will go off ON EVERY HIT regardless. Interesting.

Here was a discussion about the leeches: http://vboards.stratics.com/showthread.php?p=1338045

Thanks for clearing that up! I feel better now
