Master trial weapons are Iroha's bow/polearm, not more lightsabers :(

Disappointing, but at least they do look pretty good.

Also seems hardly like a master trial, since it's 1 merit for the first one and 5 for the "hard" one.

No mention in the update notes about recipes, so assuming none were added.

Doesn't seem like anything that would come from a recipe either.

Accessories from A.M.A.N. Trove, all-jobs weapons from Iroha fights, soulflayer wand probably ambuscade, and snowcone from the swimsuit.

On a positive note, at least there's a new All Jobs Great sword now. Might be easier to get than the other two.

So store tp affects damage on weapon skill or just the amount of tp returned per hit? If it affects your base tp modifier, then yeah that's really bad.

On a WS, the first hit, if it connects, calculates exactly like a normal hit with your equipped weapon for store TP purposes. The hits after the first are 10 TP per connected hit, also effected by store TP if I am to believe otherwiki.

I liked the Soulflayer, using some mix of RNG COR SMN to do damage was quite effective. Got a ton of points on that one when it first came around.

Shadow Lord Event
(1:06:34)
We're going to hold a special in-game event related to the Shadow Lord. During this event, players will be able to obtain a two-handed sword that resembles the one the Shadow Lord wields. This is scheduled from Thursday, August 30 to Sunday, September 30, so we still have some time, but hope you'll take part in this event.

So basically your return tp from the weapon skill would suffer. Normally, I get anywhere from 100-250 tp on a weapon skill's return depending on how many hits land and the WS used. So this would probably reduce the amount to 100 tp flat all the time regardless of how many hits land on the return I'm assuming (since I don't put store tp on my WS gear when swapping in).

I don't think you can go negative store tp (from gear?)


This thing, has potential? Orpheus's Sash Elemental Attacks 1-15? like.... trueflight and leaden, cause, that could be straight bananas.

Need to test this. I do have 1 store tp piece of gear for WS (Illabrat Ring). If the detriment is very insignificant, then it would be worth using. Mercy Stroke would be a good use for this ring since it's a 1 hit WS despite being 4 hits.

There's enough negative store TP you could definitively test it with a 999 delay weapon

Actually I have store +10 worth of gear in my WS set that's used so the ring would just cancel those out. So it would be worth using then.

Most interested in this as well, for anytime you don't get weather as mage, let alone elemental WS.

I'll bet it's +15 at 0' and +1 at 20+ though.

What does increases elemental "attacks" by 1-15 even mean, though? Magic Damage+?

Who knows if it'll beat the current options.

The fact that it's a belt is an immediate negative for it since we already have obi. Damn shame it wasn't a neck or ring/earring. It's still interesting to see, but that was poor planning.

Normally it means magic affinity.

Obi isn't always active so it still has a use. If it's in another slot like earring leaden would be even more broken lol, as if it's not already OP as *** on latest endgame NM aka wave 3 disjointed bosses already.

Oh yeah, I hadn't thought about Affinity. Sounds like it could potentially be a really good nuking belt outside of Day/Weather situations, then. Eschan Stone and Refoccilation Stone aren't that super amazing to begin with.

If anything, that damage +1-15 might just mean flat add 1-15 damage to any elemental attack which doesn't sound that great. Obviously need to test it. Also, is greater distance higher damage or closer to the mob higher damage?
