    Doing some research as the serves are going down for another hot fix at 11:30 07/26/10
    What I'm looking at is adding Icy Burst frm the Risia ice games to a new Long bow I picked up in the Auction (Bubba found and bought the Wounding of Puncturing bow)

    Great bow when it procs the extra damage or when I'm using many shot - just OK when all it does is straight damage and -1 Con per hit.

    So to boost up the damage I believe you'll need the following and in order (That's the research part...)

    Recipe 3/20, Cold Touch Weapon: (common) (1d4 Cold Damage)
    Randomly generated weapon or handwrap with no cold effect + 100 Motes of Winter + This Recipe Card = Add Cold Touch to weapon or handwrap. This formula does not work on items that have not been randomly generated.

    Recipe 4/20, Frost Weapon: (common) (1d6 Frost Damage)
    Randomly generated Cold Touch weapon or handwrap + 100 Motes of Winter + This Recipe Card = Replace Cold Touch with Frost on weapon or handwrap. This formula does not work on items that have not been randomly generated.

    Recipe 5/20, Icy Burst Weapon: (rare) (1d6 Frost + 2d10 Icy Burst on Critical)
    Randomly generated Frost weapon or handwrap + 100 Motes of Winter + This Recipe Card = Replace Frost with Icy Burst on weapon or handwrap. This formula does not work on items that have not been randomly generated.



    Randomly generated weapon = a weapon most likely not bound to character or Account, not named - bought at auction or a pull from a random drop in a chest.


    Optional step(s)
    Not necessary or if you want to move from toon to toon, as this will bind to character.
    Once that is done - take the weapon over to the alter by the bank attune it and then add one of the following:

    Force Damage Ritual = Any Attuned Weapon + 3 Luminescent Dusts +9 Fragrant Drowshood mushroos +1 point of force damage to every hit.

    OR

    Force Critical Ritual = Any Attuned Weapon + 6 Sparkling Dusts + 12 Deadly Feverblanch mushrooms = 1d4 points of force damage on each successful critical hit


    Bubba you could add Icy Burst and Force damage to your two scepters that do nothing now - Sarge maybe a Icy Burst/ Flaming Burst / Stunning +10 / Force Critical hand wraps?

    Bubba and I were just talking about this a few minutes ago. I've got those +8 Seeker wraps of Stunning +8 that I was thinking of adding Icy burst to. I also have some other wraps that might be good candidates that have holy or force burst on them already.

    I have some of the recipes that I need already, but definitely short of "Motes of Winter". Have lots of festival twigs as well.
  3. #3
    Don't you two have work to do?????

    +8 Seeker - does it add +8 to damage modifier if critical hit too? - if so.. you have a Bloodstone in your hand wraps, and stunning on top of that.
    Kind of cool.

    Just that Bloodstone adds the +8 to everything as it's a trinket.
  4. #4
    Yes, the wraps add +8 to confirm criticals and +8 to damage before multipliers, as well as +8 to the DC required to resist the stun (DC31 required). I also have a pair of +10s, but they don't have the stunning effect.

    Since I f'ed up my enhancement respec yesterday I've been running the +8s and in Greater Ocean Stance which when combined with the Jidz-tetka bracers means that when I critical I paralyze and do poison damage. Since I don't have ToD, I've had to rely more on stunning to manage mobs while I try to take them down.

    CHANGE:

    Cold Touch - 1 Pt cold damage
    Frost - 1d6 Cold damage
    Icy Burst xd10 where x is critical multiplier on weapon - my new bow is 4x so Icy Burst is 4d10

    I bought three full Icy Burst kits and 600 motes of winter.

    Price range as follows.

    3/20 - can find in 10 packs for 30 plat
    4/20 - single recipe - 15K to 30K plat
    5/20 - single recipe - 99K - 250K plat
    Icy motes of Winter - 100 motes 40K plat - 200K plat
    400 Motes 75K plat
    600 Motes 25K plat (Yah I bought them)

    I upgraded my WoP bow - still not as good critical damage as my Silver bow but when it crits or in many shot it's a mob destroyer now.
    Will also put force on it and leve it w/ Dduck just not sure normal or crit force... leaning towards just the +1 every hit.

    The other two kits most likely will go on Dduck / Durrzo's shared pair of +5 Wounding scimitars of Pure Good - no force so they can hand off to each other like I still do)

    So to get a set of wraps up to Icy Burst, I would need one each of recipe cards 3,4, and 5 and 300 motes of winter?
  7. #7
    Yes.
    100 Motes, 3/20 and the "xyz" wraps in the Ice Alter in the Harbor (By skating area - Light house)
    Mix Magically
    - then
    100 Motes, 4/20 and the new Cold wraps (or weapon)
    Mix Magically
    -then
    100 Motes, 5/20 and the newly up graded Cold to Frost "xyz" wraps (or weapon)

    Create Icy Burst "xyz" wraps (or weapon)
  8. #8
    After looking into this a bit last night, I had to pass on it for now. I did buy a recipe 4/20 but still need a 5/20 which is going for 125-175k Plat. I also need around 270 Motes of Winter which will be another 75K or so. I currently have around 180K Plat so it ain't happening.

    I pick up a bunch of ice coins in Gianthold and will continue to farm them out there while I run slayers. Maybe I'll get lucky 😀

    Duck can you check on the prices of Ice Coins in the AH today?

    Bubba had the idea to buy the coins and trade them in and it may be that we get some of the recipes that we need or more motes and it may be substantially cheaper than buying those things outright at the AH.

  10. #10
    The prices are far and wide, from 10P to 1000 plat for 1 - 5 White
    200- 400 fr Blue singles and Purple look like 200 - 400 Plat each

    Though some 100 packs of white are selling for 1000 Plat....
  11. #11
    If the coins matter - You have all of mine across my tunes - will tally later.
    Also if it helps Durrzo can farm Fire Caves - House K on Elite this week for coins too.
    That's a Sunday walk in the park.
  12. #12
    You need purple coins to get Recipe 5. although each turn in can also generate motes of winter and a few other wands/potions.

    3 White - Recipe Card 1,3,6,7,8,16
    2 Blue - Recipe Card 1,2,3,4,6,8,9,10,15,16
    1 Purple - Recipe Card 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,18,19,20

    If you are bored and feel like farming for coins go for it...
  13. #13
    6 Runs = 97 White = 0 Blue = 0 Purple
  14. #14
    Doesn't sound too promising. However, I suppose if we could get enough motes to offset that cost, the cost of recipe 5/20 would be reasonable.
  15. #15
    Where do the Motes of Winter come from / Drop?
    (Just realized I need 600 more.)
  16. #16
    I got motes when I turned in blue coins.

    Seems this whole thing just isn't worth it.

    Last night i turned in several blue and 60 white to get 4 motes and nothing else of value.
  17. #17
    I think you can get motes with every type of coin. Doesn't seem worth the hassle at current drop rates however. No wonder this stuff is so expensive in the AH.
  18. #18
    If I had to actually FARM it i the games - there would be no way in HELL I'd have the sets I do - AH all the way.
  19. #19
    Ok... so I hit a group that was farming purples tonight. Spoent a couple hours and got 20 Purple. Turned them in and got nearly every receipe except #5, guy in the group claimed 1 #5/ 40 purple coins. I also got about 500 motes so I will put my 2 casting weapons through reciepe 3 and 4.

  20. #20
    Gratz - where were you farming them?
  21. #21
    Bog Water tavern.

    So someone got onto the ledge above the jump, I guess the whole raid team helped him. Then he bought a greater teleport (150 turbine pts). He teleported all of us up there. From there you see a purple coin down below you and jump and grab it. We all took our turn, ran out of the tavern. The guy with the teleport stayed up top and teleported us up there. We all jumped again. We all paid the teleport guy with plat or purple coins ( I would give 100 plat and 1 coin per teleport dude, also took my turn as teleport guy). Did this for a couple hours.

    I will likely buy 1 reciepe 5 (saw them for buyout 90k last night) and do one fo my magical morningstars all three levels and do the other morningstar 2 levels.

  23. #23
    That hurt my head. OI!

  24. #24
    Need 100 more motes of winter - can cough up 20K plat (30K if really needed) for them if anyone has 100 extra.
  25. #25
    I think I have 8

    You are welcome to them.... there are a bunch on the auction house, or at least there were
  26. #26
    I bought the last two sets in the AH this morning. - as of right now there is one left - a 40 motes of winter to 45K plat (wishful thinking no someones part)

    100 Motes were selling reasonably for ~20K - 40K Plat but there are no more after the 2 sets I just purchased.


    And thanks - 100 will do.

    *Edit - you have 8 motes or 800 Motes?
    (I need in sets of 100)
  27. #27
    8 just 8.... not hundred... just 8. Not to be confusd with 800... only 8. Are they still accepting ice coins?? I have a small handful of those I think

    Games and Jester both left on July 31.
