Need help with sphere crafting.

Post by Xenobi » Fri Apr 18, 2003 6:15 am

Well I know a few things about all the sphere items

spherestone + essence= elite spherestone
sphere+sphere ammy=ammy with sphere stats
elite spherestone+sphere=+1 lvl to sphere

does anyone know anything else? possibly how to get any other sphere but a magic one or a barb skill one?

Nope, thats it.

So until then, thats all you have.

So is there no point to spherestones for an archer since there are no spheres for her?

great...thats nice.....im playing an archer too :( but i am playing a barb next :D

it would be a great idea for him to add a sphere for every type of weapon for every type of character.....it would be alot of work though

I think the main issue is that you can only add spheres for skills already in the game. I think you cannot "Create" things like Bow mastery.
Not quite sure, there might be a way, this is just merely speculation.

It's true that he can't create skills, but he can give each class it's own sphere none the less. For example, look at the magic sphere, it gives mana regen and faster cast rate. It isn't impossible, it'll just take some thought.
What is a signature anyway? Is it a signing of nature? I'm so confused!

True, but it would take a long while. And when he makes his 1.07 wishlist topic, ill have plenty of stuff to say there :) Especially about spheres.

as far as I know you can't have bow master sphere but you can have a sphere there's archer-only that grants dmg, hit as well as bow-related bonuses

The Archer doesn't need a Shpere, she gots Arrows. Plus as several of you said, it would hard to implament.

Nope. There are 6 spheres in the game. 5 Barb weapon mastery spheres (no throwing mastery) and a magic sphere. Also, another question. I read somewhere (cant remember where) that you could use an elite spherestone to upgrade an item (say from field plate +1 to field plate +2). Is this possible and how do you do it?

I think what subby was getting at is there jevalin +x's in the game like there are Arrows +x's? I'll have to check.

Also I don't think there is a recipe to upgrade stuff, but that is a good idea.

ah yeah, i see what you mean. I dont think there is an arrows + x, and still, max possiblity is +3 to all skills on javs, while a sphere can add 10 to a barbs mastery...at high levels thats a couple hundred damage.

We didn't do arrows +x? 8-O I thought we did.. oh well... I think that having jevalin +x's will help the javezons a little since bowazons have their bows for bonuses..

I'll go and check the files to make sure Arrow+x and Javilans +x are represented.

You could always make spheres out of other passive skills(lycanthropy or demon mastery spheres?). Or spheres for skills that only apear on items, posion dagger necros are out of the question right now, the ar bonus from pd is the only way they hit monsters.

Javelins are spears, or at least they are in 1.09d as listed in itemtypes.txt. Assuming this mod hasn't changed that, use the spear sphere.
