I think it would be more fair to the other katanas if they gained more proficiency in battle other than having solely on-kill effects, they are not at all considered much compared to the likes of Raijin, or even Hisen now, so I think it reasonably stands to amp up their potentials to have a bit more usefulness for the swordsmen who don't want to be lightning themed (rare as they may be.)

Here are my current suggestions:

Quote:Kouenjin / Crimson Lotus

Potential Skill - Crimson Lotus
Kouenjin's Potential Skill. The Kensei skill Hidden Cut's effect changes in the following ways; Damage becomes Fire magic damage. Monsters who are defeated by this effect explode, knocking away field objects and dealing Fire magic damage equal to Hidden Cut's damage in a 3 Range circle around them.

Changed to:

--Enemies who are targeted by this effect explode, knocking away field objects and dealing Fire magic damage equal to 50% of Hidden Cut's damage in a 3 range circle around them.

If an enemy is killed by this effect, inflicts certain defeat.

Quote:Yukijin

Potential Skill - Ice Lily
Yukijin's Potential Skill. The Kensei skill Hidden Cut's effect changes in the following ways; Damage becomes Ice magic damage. Monsters who are defeated by this effect turn into Ice Points and create Ice Sheets in a 2 range diamond around themself, which last for 3 rounds each (The LV for the Ice Point created is 10).

Changed to:

Enemies who are hit by this effect may be frozen for 2 rounds (with an infliction check), and create Ice Sheets in a 2 range diamond around themself, which last for 3 rounds each. (Frozen Level = 25)

If an enemy is killed by this effect, gain Ice Point Guard status for 3 rounds.

Quote:Akujin

Potential Skill - Dark Moon
Akuijin's Potential Skill. The Kensei skill Hidden Cut's effect changes in the following ways; Damage becomes Dark magic damage. Monsters who are defeated by this effect melt, becoming Dark Water tiles in a 2 Range circle for 3 rounds.

Changed to:

--Enemies who are targeted by this effect gain Dark Resistance Down. (LV = 15, can stack twice), monsters who are defeated by this effect melt, becoming Dark Water tiles in a 2 Range circle for 3 rounds.

Quote:Sanjin

Potential Skill - Mossy Grave
Sanjin's Potential Skill. The Kensei skill Hidden Cut's effect changes in the following ways; Damage becomes Acid magic damage. Monsters who are defeated by this effect melt, becoming LV 30 Poison Pool tiles in a 2 Range circle for 3 rounds.

Changed to:

--Enemies who are targeted by this effect begin to melt, gaining lvl 5 Acidity for 3 rounds, increased to 10 against heavily armored enemies. Monsters who are defeated by this effect melt completely, becoming lvl 30 Poison Pool tiles in a 2 Range circle for 3 rounds.

Eternal Solitude seems to have lost it's attack animation in the new update, I tested a few other weapons I know to have animations and didn't find them without, so this is the only one I'm reporting for now until I find others.

Request Type - New Technology

Request Details -
I want my character to be able to invent and market a new piece of technology: the focus board.

The focus board is essentially an etch a sketch that uses focus and a focus sensitive sand to allow the user to draw and write on. Its housing is made up of a iron-etherium alloy that gives it decent strength, but also allows it to automatically repair itself from minor damage. It also can expand and contract to different sizes. From the size of a large poster (equivalent of a shout) down to the size of a cell phone (for whispers).

In addition to allowing a user to draw or write on it, the board can be used to print said drawings to paper as well. After pulling a pin, the board can be pressed down to turn the pad into a printing plate. Cover the board in ink, and it can be placed down on paper or loaded into some type of press to make copies of whatever the user wrote or drew.

It was initially designed to allow mute characters to more easily communicate without carrying absurd amounts of paper, but it could easily be used by other characters looking for an convenient place to take notes and share them with their allies.

Usability depends on the user's level of focus control:
     People with excellent focus control can draw or write on it by simply directing their focus into whatever shape they desire, and erase it in a similar fashion.

     Those with less focus control can still draw on it by directing a small amount of focus into their finger or a stylus to draw on it like a regular tablet. And erase it by drawing the focus away from the board in the same way.

     Those with no focus control at all can still use it via a stylus that draws a small amount of focus from its environment. The image decays slowly over time as the focus depletes, but it can be quickly erased by using a focus absorbing bar attached to the side of the board. Shaking it hard works as well, but it tends to only fuzz the image not completely erase it without a certain amount of decay time.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) -

Its an idea I had while my character was recovering from a neck injury, and i was RPing being mute. Playing charades with people was interesting, but I was laughing about the immense amounts of paper required for him to talk to anyone in detail.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and i figured this experience could inspire someone with Linzi's expertise to develop such a product.


Roleplay & Lore supporting your request -

With his knowledge of alchemy(lvl 6), metalworking(lvl 3), and his engineering knowledge he was able to fashion this device. His main class engineer can create robots controlled by streams of focus, so making a drawing pad that uses focus to control sand seems well within the pale of his abilities and the technological landscape of Korvara.

Linzi has a small workshop and is trying to find things to sell to further his business ventures to make money for a special project. Should the product perform well he could expand his operations or work with other industrialist characters to mass produce it.

If accepted, I plan to run a product demonstration somewhere showcasing this, and other things he's invented to put his company on the map.

RP justification:

Due to a neck injury, my character was unable to speak for a decent period of time. Forcing him to talk through body language, and writing notes on paper. During this time he wished he had a way to communicate that didn't require him to carry a books worth of paper and ink around, or and endless game of charades. Thus he was inspired to create this product.  His neck recovered, but even with the ability to speak, the pad was a great way to take notes, draw on, or copy his writing to multiple pages. If it was this useful to him, why not to others, whether they could speak or not?

Character Name - Vent Newiaser/Mészáros
Request Type - Special Character Trait
Request Details - From 5-6 inches up the left forearm to the tip of her fingers is a light coat of fur. The claws at the tip of her fingers are a little more apparent. It doesn't do anything to boost her abilities or what-have-you, but it's just a side effect from an attempt at healing that barely worked. A requirement to drink a blue potion a day, or every other day, or risk it stop working is also a fun idea to tack on to it.
Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) -

1. It's rad. It's a cool character concept, a strong hero who barely wins a fight, but comes out of with some issue/curse afterwards. In this case, a mutation. It serves as a permanent reminder of what she had accomplished and what it cost her.

2. It adds on to Vent's character. In Vent's family lore, giant wolves (or wargs as I will continue to call them from here on out) are seen as a very much "top of the food chain" way. They're apex predators, to see one is a blessing, but to fight and defeat one only goes to show your strength in relation to the wolf in their blood. Vent's family is very adherent to Lupine-esque ideals such as a strong, dangerous alcoholic drink called Wolf's Blood, howling at the moon as a coming of age ceremony thing, making bloodpacts, and following the Alpha-Follower relationship as it's almost hardcoded into their blood. In the background of the family, this all is brought back to the founder of the family who had heavy ties with blood magic that may have had some side effects on his descendants. To possess this more bestial limbs would to encourage her to further embrace the wolf blood in her instead of this invasion of cat fur.

I have also always seen Vent's body as being a poor receptable for magic perhaps due to the blood magic reason as stated above. Healing magic has a lesser effect on her although this can't be made mechanical, but also makes her body incredibly sore afterwards. Youkai, I feel, are tied to this aspect, too. It's only natural that if a youkai gets installed onto her person for one reason or another, quite the rarity for her, something might screw up. Part of me also wants to give a unique scar or punishment for being so risky with her life to the point of her almost dying.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request -


This comes from a roleplaying event. With the help of an eventmin, Vent had gone after an alpha wolf to solo it in an attempt to prove that she is the real alpha. This lead to a rather close fight, Vent dropping down to 25% of her HP. Even though she did win, I had no intentions of playing it off as if she came out unscathed or with a few cuts and bruises there. She was a bit fucked up. Bleeding, bruised, nasty scratches and bites. She did go against a big ol' warg. One of the worst injuries was the fact that the claw tore into her left forearm, exposing the bone. 

Vent didn't exactly pick up the scraps of her arm-flesh that was torn off (and the rolls from those trying to help her weren't so great with it). So, a hail mary was utilized in the form of a youkai being installed through Soul Chain, taking into the account that installed youkai will offer small physical changes so her arms might have suddenly grown to be a bit fuzzy to account for the Byakko. This wasn't a foolproof plan, there might have been a chance that the youkai didn't care about Vent especially seeing as she is a wolf and it's a cat! Further taking into account that it's primarily an offensive skill. Yet, the rolls were just barely enough to work. The other solution was cutting the arm off. I was fine with whatever way it went, but the dice and the thinking of the characters pushed it into this direction.

So, working on the assumption that:
Youkai and summoners aren't an exact science. There could be unseen issues caused by youkai who act in a different manner than what their master requested or by summoners who try to experiment or utilize their powers in a rushed manner. 
It's a bit implied that there can be some pretty serious consequences from messing with youkai by the Shapeshifter guy in G6. Although, as I understand, Korvara doesn't share an exact lore with Sigrogana considering how magic was learned from tablets instead of being a gift from the gods and how many races just naturally exist there without said gods or special conditions that brought them there.

I believe there can exist some leeway when considering the strange method use to say that some sort of permanent mark was left upon her, be it a one in a million occurrence or what-have-you.

Test server item chests (gear, weapons, etc) are a bit too cluttered and full, and on lower end computers this ends up causing long freezes that can sometimes even crash your game. This gets worse the more times you have to open them, as well. Ideally, maybe expand the area and spread the items out into further categorized chests. Torso items chest, Leg items chest, Gun chest, Spear Chest, etc etc. It'd also make it easier in general to find what you're looking for.

Let's face it. Most torso catalysts don't really hold a candle to Gigantic Gene. 10% increase in HP (usually 90-100, sometimes more) is hard to pass up, and the weight bonus ends up being a benefit to some classes even. At worst, it prevents you from using boulder on your armor. Dodgies are an exception, of course, given the evade penalty.

Notable potential fill-ins for it include:

Leviathan - Lesser GG, good if you can't afford the weight or evade penalty.
Tannin - If you're really hurting for focus somehow, could be okay? Seems niche, but I can see it.
Mutation - EXTREMELY niche, I personally wouldn't use it for torso, but I can potentially maybe see how someone would if they really had to.
Bleached Fang - Used to not even consider this an option, but I heard someone say that the damage from a dodged crit would make up for the 100ish HP you get from GG, so that makes enough sense to me.
Pitch Black Feather - Not worth it for the armor, but I can see the evade being pretty nice if you're an engineer or summoner.

Things that won't be included in the 'too weak to consider' section mostly just include the Elemental enchants and the like, as they can at least be put on the legs or hands instead of the (in my opinion) more valuable torso slot.


Now onto the true headscratchers for me:

Volcanic Seed - I don't really think of substituting torso to weapon the same way I think of subbing torso to hand or leg, thus why this is here. As a torso slot, this is... awful. I'm not entirely sure why it was nerfed to begin with, but level 15 field tiles of an element that's easily resisted to begin with is just... bad. There is NO way I can see this ever being a suitable option over leviathan, fang or giant gene. Also the little 25 HP and the synergy with Firebird, but I'm not really sure that elevates that to the level of the others.
Sweet Leaf - 30% chance to inflict charm level... 10. Charm is a powerful status, don't get me wrong, but 10 is very low for it being only 30% chance for 3 rounds. Doing damage to your target lowers that duration per instance, too. If it was a 100% chance and didn't lower duration per hit, it'd still only break even with Giant Gene (10% DR vs 10% extra damage you can take. Not fully equivalent, but you get the point.) If you go before others, there's a chance you won't even get to see the benefit of this at all.

So, what changes would I propose for these? Well...

Volcanic Seed - Yeah, I have no idea. I can't imagine it was nerfed for no reason, so I don't think my 'just revert it back' would be very helpful.
Sweet Leaf - Now this one, I actually have something for:
30% chance on round start to inflict all enemies in 3 range with Charm level 15 for 3 rounds. When damaging a target with Charm level 15 or lower, don't lower the duration of the charm.

I feel this is more in line with the Alraune it drops from, and its a slight bit more numerically significant to actually hold up to the other torso slot items.


Either way. Let me know if you think any of the fill-ins I mentioned should actually be buffed, or if you have any ideas for buffs or anything, especially for volcanic seed.

A number of early excel crash, mainly mage basic spells require a excel tome to function, despsite the fact that many means to gain weapon charges without excelgraph/a mutated 6 star excel line weapon.

What I ask for is that these spells and whatever other skills currently require a Excel weapon be changed to the current iteration of excel skills have been designed around.

Gain +20 Evade for 1 attack, 3 rounds after casting a Sylphid spell.

This is the current text and effect. 

It's bad. 

That's really bad.

This nerf consolidated a lot of evade setups so that non rogues can't really reach evade cap, something that is one hundred and ten percent necessary in the current hit meta.

I'll be honest, I think a straight up  revert is fine. Take it to 25/3 rounds again. Please. Un-centralize evades.
