Mᴇᴄʜᴀɴɪᴄᴀʟ Fᴜɴᴄᴛɪᴏɴꜱ:

 

Lore Materials are defined as Roleplay Materials (Minerals, Crystals, Woods, Cloths, etc.) that provide a unique ability beyond the purview of mundane function. Lore Materials are often used to supplement, enhance or interact with other lore pieces on the server and generally provide a boon in combative and/or non-combative roleplay scenarios. As a result, Lore Materials fall beneath the purview of ST’s Lore Team for the purposes of acceptance, balancing, and enforcement.

 

Lore Materials necessitate an ST Signature to be considered valid. Lore Materials may only be distributed by means of Story Event or, in rare cases, LT-sanctioned item production (e.g., Rokodra, Arcanium). In the event that a player abuses the mechanics or systems of these Lore Materials, be it through ignorance or malice, one should expect to receive intervention and punishment by the Lore Team and, if required, the Mod Team.

 

Each Lore Material is ascribed a rarity for the purposes of internal ST Distribution and Planning. This is to say that materials of higher tiers can expect to be distributed at a far lower rate than those of lower tiers due to their background or combative potency. ET who wish to distribute these Lore Materials must submit an “Event Materials Request” through proper channels and receive approval by ST Management. 

Open Materials constitute Lore Materials that may be produced freely without ST oversight or signature, though they remain subject to LT enforcement in the event that their mechanics are abused. Further, while the LT will generally not check for the roleplay production of these items, excessive production (i.e., renaming 200 iron swords to ‘Anorum’ at one time) may warrant LT intervention if bad faith is suspected.

 

Lastly, in adherence to Server Rules, any item that bears an ST Signature shall be considered ACTIVE while on one’s person. This is to say that if one were to carry four maces of an ST Signed Lore Material, they would feel the weight and effects of those four maces at all times.

 

 

ST-Sɪɢɴᴇᴅ Lᴏʀᴇ Mᴀᴛᴇʀɪᴀʟꜱ:

[ Aᴢᴜʀᴀꜱ Cᴏᴍᴘᴇɴᴅɪᴜᴍ ]

 

	Name	Carbarum
	Item	Diamond
	Rarity	Legendary [T5]
	Environment	The peaks or depths of mountains.
	Item  Description	A chunk of extremely dense and heavy ore, with a blue hue to it. It easily shares many qualities with various types of glasses, from having a glossy sheen to crisp, sharp edges. This would also include the fragility of glass, being quite easy to break or shatter with a light enough strike from a hard object, such as a pickaxe.

 

	Name	Drachalite
	Item	Netherite Scrap
	Rarity	Legendary [T5]
	Environment	The calcified marrow of Dragaars, Draakars, Dragons, and/or Drakes.
	Item  Description	A dark, glossy-black remnant of a once exalted and terrifying creature. Appearing akin to volcanic glass, streaks of colored veins betray its true nature. Whispering, hissed words emit from the ore and reflect the personality of its source entity.

 

	Name	Morion
	Item	Flint
	Rarity	Legendary [T5]
	Environment	The corruptive lifebanks of the Abyss.
	Item  Description	Aurum, corrupted by the malignance of the abyss, which bore an irregular black core and was encrusted with fragile, jagged crystalline protrusions. Per its delicacy, touching this ore bare-handed risks certain scratching or splintering. Undead beings who grasp this material may recall vivid sensations of the life they have lost.

 

	Name	Volatite [Boomsteel]
	Item	Coal
	Rarity	Exquisite [T4]
	Environment	Frozen areas that once had volcanic activity.
	Item  Description	An ebony ore with sharp jagged edges, distributions of flint, and a coating of ash-colored dust. This ore is extremely heavy, akin to gold in weight. If a spark were to touch this ore, one would quickly discover its explosive properties, likely resulting in injury to those within close proximity.

 

	Name	Thanhium
	Item	Lapis Lazuli
	Rarity	Exquisite [T4]
	Environment	Extremely cold environments.
	Item  Description	Brittle, blue crystals that glow softly and bear the unique property of absorbing heat and mana. The delicacy of this crystal may prove hazardous, given that an errant strike can shatter the crystal in its entirety and render harmful shards if inhaled or ingested. In the event of consumption, the individual will be afflicted with Thanhic poisoning, a malady that disrupts the natural flow of mana.

 

	Name	Resonantium
	Item	Dragon’s Breath
	Rarity	Rare [T3]
	Environment	Huge veins of redstone, or petrified mana.
	Item  Description	An iridescent, violet-blue, and fluid metal which reacts to vibrational stimuli and mana. When subject to vibrations rendered by motion or sound, the fluid would shimmer its array of colors. Exposure to mana causes the liquid to hum lowly, stiffen, and “spike” outwards softly.

 

	Name	Argentum
	Item	Raw Iron
	Rarity	Rare [T3]
	Environment	The Mori-Quessir Underdark of Eos.
	Item  Description	A lustrous gray “fool’s silver” that, at first glance, appeared rather weak and useless. Soft and crumbly to the touch, one might only find use for this ore in deceiving merchants lest one understand its full potential.

 

	Name	Fulgursand
	Item	Glowstone Dust
	Rarity	Rare [T3]
	Environment	The Skull Sea coasts of Azuras.
	Item  Description	A thirty-five-pound pile of Fulgursand, which bore a pale, golden hue. When in contact with metal, it would emit a faint electric blue shimmer. Both magnetic and coarse, it can be abrasive and irritating, especially towards tinkered objects. Nevertheless, such wear remains largely superficial.

 

	Name	Lunarite
	Item	Nether Quartz
	Rarity	Uncommon [T2]
	Environment	The husks of crashed meteors.
	Item  Description	An otherworldly pale chunk of meteorite that possessed veins and flecks of a gold-like substance that glistened attractively in the light. If one were to lack an experienced eye, they might mistake it for quartz or gold were they not privy to its true nature.

 

	Name	Azhl
	Item	Charcoal
	Rarity	Uncommon [T2]
	Environment	Areas of molten material or volcanic activity.
	Item  Description	An ashy black rock which was soft and brittle. If struck with ample force, it would crumble to dust and become highly irritable to skin and membranes, causing sores and rashes. Inhaling the dust would afflict the lungs with Azhl Anemia and bouts of intense coughing.

 

	Name	Blightstones
	Item	Echo Shard
	Rarity	Uncommon [T2]
	Environment	Streams and rivers within the Fae Realm.
	Item  Description	A rock saturated in the natural energies of the Aspects and whose appearance and singing tune reflect their patron domain. Druids who call upon these stones over [2] emotes may interweave their aura to elevate their magical tier, or if already a master, may double the range of an ability for a single spell.

 

	Name	Arcanium
	Item	N/A
	Rarity	Common [T1]
	Environment	Void-Obelisk Forging
	Item  Description	A metal produced from esoteric voidal practices. Albeit bearing the physical properties of steel, it remains dense with Voidal Arcana. Its appearance oft reflects the magics of its creator, though it shall morph to match the element channeled via its wielding void-mage. Attempts to reforge this metal will render it inert.

 

	Name	Rokodra
	Item	Netherite Ingot
	Rarity	Common [T1]
	Environment	Moz’Strimoza or spawned by Rakir Forging.
	Item  Description	A dark-blue, perpetually chilling metal shaped by the ever-shifting planes of the High Hells. Resistant to all forms of heat, bar malflame, this ore would cause one’s body to numb rapidly wherever touched. Attempting to rework this metal by standard means would be futile.

[ Lᴇɢᴀᴄʏ Cᴏᴍᴘᴇɴᴅɪᴜᴍ ]

 

	Name	Proto-Salium [Frost Salt]
	Item	Prismarine Crystal
	Rarity	Uncommon [T2]
	Environment	The frozen wastes of Almaris.
	Item  Description	A small fragment of green ice that emitted a strong, salty odor akin to an ocean shore. Its surface was irregular, rough, and marbled with white veins. Prolonged contact with the substance would render numbness or frostbite. A simple process of grinding will yield a sparkling, coarse salt ready for use.

 

	Name	Lightstone
	Item	Raw Gold
	Rarity	Common [T1]
	Environment	Environments of Holy, Deific Mana.
	Item  Description	A transparent golden gem that held a dim, sparkling glow. When basked in the sun, the gem will store light and, if tapped at a later point, may emit a luminance comparable to a torch. If one were capable, they may be able to contain holy power within this crystal.

Rᴇꜰɪɴɪɴɢ ᴀɴᴅ Cʀᴀꜰᴛɪɴɢ:

 

In order to reach the full potential of the aforementioned materials, a smith will be required to refine their raw ore into a refined state as outlined in the material’s “Refining Process” sections. The standard rate for refinement is constituted as [1] Ore = [2] Ingots. Individuals are able to use these ingots to fabricate items of many different varieties, and each of them retain their own material costs. Players may choose to store these refined materials as ingots for future use, or they may fabricate an item directly from the raw ore.

 

In the event a player wishes to reforge a fabricated item, the melting process will subsequently lose material as “waste” and render only [½] of its original material value. This is to say that a Shortsword worth [2] Ingots will only render [1] Ingot if reforged. Acquiring a new description for an item does not require any addition or loss to material unless it is being reshaped.

 

For the sake of CRP balance and ticket consistency, items may generally only be forged of a single material. This is to say that one cannot affix a Lunarite hilt onto a Carbarum sword to store an enchantment, nor can one weld a High-Density Volatite Maul to a Thanhic Axehead. This said, aesthetic features may be incorporated (e.g., Lunarite/Argentum trimmings) provided that they do not provide a secondary combative effect.

 

The full list of Material Costs for Item Fabrication is provided below:

 

Wᴇᴀᴘᴏɴꜱ

1 - Dagger, Spear, Ammunition [8]

» Dagger = Dagger, Stiletto, Spike, Throwing Knife, Tantō, etc.

» Spear = Spear, Javelin, Ballista Bolt, etc.

» Ammunition = Arrowheads, Bolts, etc.

2 - Blade [Short], Polearm [Light], Axe [1H], Hammer [1H], Mace [1H], Bow-Limb [Short]

» Blade [Short] = Arming Sword, Gladius, Scimitar, Katana, etc.

» Polearm [Light] = Billhook, Bardiche, Glaive, Naginata, Trident, etc.

» Bow-Limb [Short] = Hand Crossbow, Shortbow, etc.

3 - Blade [Long], Polearm [Heavy], Axe [2H], Hammer [2H], Mace [2H], Bow-Limb [Long]

» Blade [Long] = Longsword, Bastard-Sword, Estoc, Nodachi, etc.

» Polearm [Heavy] = Polehammer, Poleaxe, Halberd, etc. 

» Bow-Limb [Long] = Crank Crossbow, Longbow, etc.

4 - Greatsword

» Greatsword = Zweihander, Claymore, Montante, etc.

8 - Titanblade

» Titanblade = Dragonslayer, Buster Sword, Samehada, Zangetsu

 

[NOTE]: The material cost extends only to the traditionally metal portion of a weapon. This is to say that one can only forge an Axehead and can NOT additionally cast its haft. Instead, a player must produce a handle or haft separately, as quantified in the ACCESSORIES section, if they wish to make a uniformly cast item. Additionally, a “Titanblade” constitutes approximately x2 the weight of a standard “Greatsword” and provides no additional cutting power. Lastly, ammunition such as bolts and arrows must be destroyed after being shot during CRP; ranged weapons of [1] ore more ingots (javelins, throwing knives) may be reclaimed.

 

Aʀᴍᴏʀꜱ

1 - Gauntlet, Vambrace, Couter, Pauldon, Sabaton, Greave [incl. Poleyn], Cuisse, Visor, Gorget

» Visor = Faceplate, Bevor, Mask, etc.

2 - Helmet [incl. Visor]

4 - Chestplate [incl. Cuirass + Plackart + Fauld + Gorget]

 

=Wʜᴏʟᴇꜱᴀʟᴇ=

3 - Full Arm Harness, Full Leg Harness

6 - Full Torso Harness [incl. Chestplate + 2 Full Arm Harness]

12 - Full Body Harness [incl. Chestplate + 4 Full Limb Harness + Helm]

 

[NOTE]: =WHOLESALE= Armor must be noted as a “Combination Set” in the item description. Combination Sets cannot be broken into individual pieces for reforging, and will be judged wholly for their =WHOLESALE= price. Further, individual armor pieces cannot be combined to make a singular item except through initial forging through the Combination Set.

 

[NOTE]: The text “incl.” refers to the guaranteed armor pieces included in a particular piece or set. While forging, a player may opt out of including those additional pieces for customization, albeit retaining the same price.

 

Sʜɪᴇʟᴅꜱ

1 - Small Shield

» Small Shield = Buckler, Boss, etc.

2 - Medium Shield

» Medium Shield = Round Shield, Heater Shield, Aspis, etc.

3 - Large Shield

» Large Shield = Tower Shield, Kite Shield, Pavise, etc.

 

[NOTE]: Shields forged entirely from a single material are expected to be far heavier than their wooden counterparts. Be wise to acknowledge additional fatigue incurred by the increased weight lest an enchantment or material property mitigate it.

 

Aᴄᴄᴇꜱꜱᴏʀɪᴇꜱ

1 - Rings [4], Piercings [4], Bracelets [2], Small Metal Parts [2], Necklace, Weapon Handle

2 - Crown, Large Metal Part, Weapon Haft

 

[NOTE]: “Metal Parts” are objects of different shapes and sizes made from metal, such as pipes, poles, levers, gears, etc. Anything larger than a person’s fist is considered to be LARGE.
