World Pseudo-elemental Powders | Created By Combining Two Powders | V 2.0 Complete!

Many people would like more stat possibilities, but that's not really possible without a complete overhaul of the whole server. I think a good compromise would be to add new powders though, powders that are earned by combining different powders with a special kind of powder master. Only a few of the usual powder masters will have this ability, and the emerald cost will be twice that of regular Upgrading
NOTE: Powder effects may change later. The current version is only the best I have been able to come up with based on the current feedback. Having mentioned this, please let me know what you think after you read this.

(T5 increases Base fire damage and Thunder damage by 40 and 15 respectively, and increases the weapon multiplier to 11.25%. T6 increases base fire and thunder damage to 55 and 20 respectively, and increases the weapon multiplier to 12.5%)

Combining 2 powders together gives you 1 of the same tier of powder. (Example: Combining a Tier I Air Powder and a Tier I Water Powder will yield one Tier I Ice powder. If you combine a Tier I Air Powder and a Tier I Thunder Powder, you will get one Tier I Aether Powder.)

*EDIT 5/1/2018* Completely removed Pseudo-elemental damages; instead, players will gain buffs to the elemental types that were used to create the powders. I've also started adding the powder's effects on weaponry.

*EDIT 6/17/2018* Finally finished all powder effects on weaponry and armor. I also did some balancing changes on many of the powder effects; hopefully they will be more balanced than before.

*EDIT 11/9/2018* Added missing Aether Weapon stats. Rebalanced a few powder stats (A few elements aren't loved by the powders as much as other elements - all should be very near to equal).
Each element now has a powder that converts 13% neutral and a powder that converts 11% neutral. Which means there are now majors and minors for every powder type. The representation of powder should be more equal now. Additionally, some powder tiers have been rebalanced for better scaling and/or balancing in general.

*EDIT 11/9/2018 (2)* Rebalanced most of the powder abilities. Made valor stronger, but gave it a more specific duration and made it impossible to stack valor abilities. Made the Burning Aura ability description a lot simpler and clearer. Replaced the ash damage with neutral damage, because ash damage doesn't exist. Finally, I created an alternate version of Nutrients. It can be found in a spoiler below the current version of the ability. Let me know if you think that version is better.

 

I like it, but I feel metal is ehhh... go for magma or something


also doubt this would get added but its a cool idea none the less


I have some suggestions for other combinations if you don't mind me adding

 

The logic is that melting stones (specifically ores) with heat is what creates metal, and magma is too close to fire to me. I also felt it was right to have metal as a pseudo element, considering it is one in many places.

As for your own suggestions, by all means, go ahead. If they seem fitting to me, I will likely add them. If not, I will tell you why I feel like they wouldn't fit.

 

alright thanks!

 

Bump, pretty cool

 

Steam (Created by combining Water and Fire)
Steam Jet (Armor ability): Enemies that attack you have an X% chance to be pushed back, while pushing you forward.
Sprinkler (Weapon Ability): Water and Fire damage are done to all enemies in an 80 degree fov (Or, within 40 degrees where the player is looking), and blinds them.

Storm (Doesnt make sense for a name but whatever. Created by combining Water and Thunder)
Hurricane (Armor Ability): Enemies that attract to you have an x% chance to be pulled towards you and damaged, every 5 seconds.
Tempest (Weapon Ability): Send forward a tornado which scatters enemies and deals neutral damage.

Also, there are 15 different possibilities, I think this would be too confusing to implement.

 

Sounds good

But then people with rainbow weapons will have to make it MORE rainbow-er, and people that wants a rainbow elemental defense will have to make it MORE rainbow-er. This can potentially break the elemental system

[EDIT] pls no ash(and metal), we already have reflection and thorns to make op cactus build, adding it on armor makes it more gagtus

 

Pseudo-sets will likely be separate from rainbow sets.

Ash and metal can be modified if necessary.

 

80% * 1.15 == 92% dodge/crit chance.
I just need to figure out a trigger for it that won't make it broken.

 

It depends. If it only activates when you are on the brink of death, it might be balanced... considering you have an 8% chance to get hit and would be killed after the next hit... that might work. Whenever your health is below 10%.

 

This seems very well done and the idea is pretty nice. Would love to see something like this implemented.

 

Thank you!

 

It is cool, however, there needs to be some ironing out. There need to be ten different powders for every possible permutation without repeats. Also, combing two tier 4 powders should lead to a tier 3 Pseudo-powder, and 2 fives should lead to a tier 4 Pseudo-powder, etc, to make them harder to get. Also, I don't think specials should be available for pseudo powders.

________________________________

Also, I hate to be this guy (i mean HATE to be them), but where do you stop? Ten different specials, and pseudo-pseudo-powders would be redundant. Part of the magic of classes is that it forces you to choose, you can't have it all, and I feel like that is something that is good with the current system. I will have some ideas about this coming out soon, as a new suggestion thread

 

pseudoraul likes pseudo-powders ;p

 

Each different powder is used twice.
And I personally don't think the resulting pseudo powder should be a tier smaller. Because they aren't any more powerful than regular powders (in fact, they are less powerful because there won't be so many weaknesses caused by them) and you already need to spend two powders for one. 2 tier 6 powders (hard to get as it is) creates only one tier 6 pseudo-elemental powder. So to get one of the abilities, you need four tier six powders, and you need to do it with 2 different powders as well.

What?
There's pseudo-elemental powders, not pseudo-pseudo elemental powders...
This isn't intended to go anything past this. I though about having pseudo-pseudo elemental powders, but I couldn't think of a way to geth them to work anyway.

If you think the abilities are too strong, just say so.

 

Great, more things for me to be confused about.

I like it +1

 

It's a good idea but...
I feel that adding so many new (pseudo) elements would convolute the current system a bit too much. If, like you suggested, the elements weren't added inherently to items but were only available in powder form, a good defense against them would be difficult to achieve. In order for this to be implemented in a balanced fashion, a complete overhaul of the current item system would likely be necessary.

I really like the idea but I think it would be better to just add the pseudo-elemental powder specials and not to add in the pseudo-elements as types of damages themselves.

 

In that case, it should add a small amount of both elements as damage. For example, metal would give some stone and fire damage, but not as much as the original powders.
