Talk:Gaia Blade

Spiked Armor
There is a very nice calculation on how to maximize the % chance of getting the unleash of the Gaia Blade, but I noticed that the Spiked Armor (dropped by Chimera Mages in the Babi Lighthouse, the Tunnel Ruins and the Upper Venus Lighthouse) can even further increase the chance of getting the unleash. I don't even have an account here, neither do I know by how much the Spiked Armor increases that chance (the armor piece doesn't have a page of his own), so I won't change it myself. That's why I'm asking someone else, who knows the exact increase of the unleash-rate obtained from the Spiked Armor, to change it. Can someone do that (for me)? 82.73.80.100 18:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Pure-element weapons in Dark Dawn

 * HungryPaperweight: If it's a pure-element weapon, shouldn't the infobox reflect that?
 * Erik the Appreciator: The pure-element thing is what I'm wondering about. I don't see any menu screen in DD that shows a weapon is pure-element, so what source do we have on that?

Well, there's always the old-fashioned method of trial and error. We find an enemy weak or resistant to a certain element and test supposedly pure-element weapons on them to see if the "." or "!!!" shows up. I know, it's a slow and tiring process, but it's better than nothing. The main problem is finding enemies weak to Venus and Mercury, because about 90% of the enemies in DD are weak to Mars and Jupiter... The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 15:12, 15 April 2011 (CDT)
 * I was doing some preliminary tests before hopping online and came across something...interesting. The Frost Wand is a Mercury-based weapon with the "Critical Strike" Unleash. Critical Strike is non-elemental, yet the Frost Wand's Critical Strike seems to take on Mercury attributes as well. While I can't say this with confidence, I suspect all pure-element weapons extend their elemental attributes to non-elemental Unleashes. Just thought you'd want to know ;) The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 17:32, 15 April 2011 (CDT)


 * ^ That's true. Its the same with the Sylph Rapier. Chinkycandie 20:09, 15 April 2011 (CDT)
