Are corsair roll effects reduced when it's subbed?

[Shinryuu]

Very much so.

[Shinryuu]

wind erodes earth
earth grounds lightning
lightning electrifies water
water extinguishes fire
fire melts ice
ice ______ wind

Best random question ever.

By the way, pure H²O doesn't actually conduct electricity at all does it?

[Kyte]

No, it doesn't. It's just that pure water doesn't really exist (although you can get something very close in a lab). In nature, there will always be some free ions.

Do Birdbanes work under a level sync?

Always looked at it as "ice blocks wind" e.g. a glacier or other large mass of ice.

Random Question:

Why am I 0/36 HQ on a Synth with 73 Smithing/41 Leather, when my crafter is 101 Smithing/52+3 Leather?

Synth in question is Darksteel Mittens. Is wiki wrong on the synth caps?
Both skills are 11 over cap, which should give me 10% HQ rate, but I put 0/36 down to more than "bad luck".

[Callisto]

I know I saw it here a while back and can't find it now, can someone post a fix for the spellcast trying to equip grips before staves thing?

It's crafting, just random luck, wether it be good or bad. My LS is 4/100ish on Cerb Mantle +1's, I've personally gone 0/30 on HQ staves. Had an LS member go like 3 or 4/some rediculosly low number on Dusk +1 gloves. So sometimes good luck, most of the time just bad luck lol.

Do Birdbanes work under a level sync?

I don't think so. I know Joyeuse reverts to being slashing damage under level cap.

[ronin sparthos]

I don't think so. I know Joyeuse reverts to being slashing damage under level cap.

Joyeuse's double attack vanishes under sync but it still retains its piercing dmg since all rapiers possess that trait.

A different situation than Birdbanes where ive heard it works and doesn't work under the cap since the hidden effect is the piercing damage. I already assumed the vs birds: acc is wiped but yeah...

[Seraph]

Ice breaks wind.

It works on so many levels.

Hot areas (Think equatorial regions) have lesser pressure cells which generates more wind related disasters such as hurricanes (mentioned earlier) through the adiabatic process. The Hadley cell distributes the uprising air into high pressure cells which are typically associated with colder temperatures. High pressure cells are less likely to produce such disasters. I'm guessing that's the logic at play.

Ice is strengthened by Wind ???

I was 0/45 or so on coral scale mail +1, it's just luck.

Personally i would rate a double crafts's hq rate to be lower than a single craft despite both receipes are at T1 rate. Something like, your darksteel mittens vs behe ring, both are T1 but behe ring should get a "better" hq rate than mittens.

That being said, i went 0/45 on cursed finger gauntlets-1 before on alchemy. Random.

I've never seen any evidence of that. The break rate is definitely higher, but the HQ rate doesn't seem lower.

I went about 1/40 trying to sign myself a pair of Mahatma Slops for my RDM. Crafting sucks, get used to it.

[Argettio]

I remember a long time ago some one made a thread asking which assaults are best for people to use to get points for salvage if they were too low for RvB.

Most people said don't bother unless you can do RvB, but a few people gave good responses.

I have searched, but can't see it (although found some pretty good threads on assaults), does any one know which I mean?

Thanks,

Well, I remembered what made me think that. I do a BC Die by the Sword with damage-type immune weapons. The Slashing weapon took damage from Joyeuse, so Joyeuse is slashing damage under the effect of sync.

Fire melts Ice

Thunder electrolyzes Water

Dark eclipses Light

According to other wiki.

But I have never quite understood the ICE/WIND relationship (most of the other make some sense).
