Damage: 25​

Stats: 6​

Power(s): On melee hit, 50% Froda's Jump Discontinuity on monster (even better, is it possible to have this trigger *instead* of the damage with a 50% chance? If so, you could up the damage and do that instead)​

Item Name: The Ballista​

Description: A mighty siege machine, made into a portable death delivery system, now with impaling features!​

Price: 27000​

Damage: 18 , 8 ​

Power(s):-1, -3, -3, +3​

crossbowHit, chance to trigger a Thibault's Trompement type spell, piercing the target and any two targets behind it, dealing and extra 24 piercing damage to those 3 targets, counts as an attack (attack="1") hoperfully, triggers any bolt specific effects as well.​

Craft-able: Steel Recurve Crossbow, Clockwork Power Limb, Giant Wrench​

 

Melee power won't do anything to a crossbow.

 

Quite aware of that, I just wanted to keep the component effect from Clockwork Power Limb

 

Item Name: Excalibur
Type: Mace
Description: "It's a shame that they never managed to get it out of that rock."
Price: ???
Damage: 23 , 5
Powers: +7 , +1 , Artifact Quality 7
Craft-able: Yes, Self Righteous Sword of White Lies + Knightly Sword + Giant Stone Club

Item Name: Sheath of Excalibur
Type: Ring (Renamed to Sheath)
Description: "Said to prevent its holder from being harmed in combat. It's strange how so many people only care about the sword, huh?"
Price: ???
Defense: +3 , +10 ,
Powers: +6 , Artifact Quality 6. You have a small chance on being hit, maybe around 5%, to grant you +3 and a small HoT for 5 turns. Does not stack.
Craft-able: No

Item Name: Caledfwlch
Type: Sword
Description: "Clearly a sword for kings who actually know how to use one."
Price: ???
Damage: +27 , +11
Powers: +5 , +5, +5 You have a chance on attacking or being hit, around 5% on attacks and 10% on taking damage, to gain the "Blood of Kings" buff, which gives you +1 , +1 , +1 , and +1 for 5 turns. It also stacks indefinitely, but the 5 turn limit should keep it from getting too out of hand.
Craftable: Yes, Excalibur + Savvarius, Greatsword of the Amusin Clan + Doul's Possible Sword

Note: I sort of tried to make Caledfwlch SLIGHTLY better than Savvarius, basically it has a cool buff and slightly better stats, but no Artifact powers. On one hand, it won't ever come with generally useful stuff like Trap Affinity unless you Krong it, but on the other hand, everything on it will always be useful for Warriors. Feel free to tweak it a bit if you feel it's overpowered/underpowered. Oh, and by the way, Caledfwlch's sprite should be just a plain looking broadsword, and if you could make the "Blood of Kings" buff icon a picture of Freddy Mercury, it would be perfect.

Edit: Inspiration has struck!

Item Name: Critical Tomatoes
Type: Thrown
Description: "These tomatoes fly at incredibly high velocity at the source of bad jokes. Someone has stamped the number 504 on the side."
Price: ???
Damage: 5 , 1
Powers: 100% chance to lower an enemy's and by a decent amount. They could maybe have a 20% chance to "splat" and give the same debuff to enemies standing nearby your target.
Craftable: No

If anyone knows what the tomatoes are a reference to, you get a free hi-five.

 

This seems to have caught on rather quickly. I can start working on items as soon as I fix a few bugs, but I need some help on this.

When throwing a Diggle-Bone the game crashes. I have been able to duplicate it multiple times but do not know the cause. If anyone can duplicate this or even look at the code and find whats wrong I would appreciate it because it looks like things should work.

Worst case scenario I comment it out, but then the possibility of future thrown items I create being bugged would still remain.

Thoughts on Item Balancing​

If you ever come across an item that seems overpowered please let me know as I can easily tweak things.​

​

Notice on Items With On-Hit Effects​

Buffs and de-buffs I can do rather easily, but I have not yet mingled in AOE spells. Or ranged spells for example: wands. Mainly due to animation effects.​

​

As far as buffs are concerned I can get away with no animations much easier than with other spells.​

Adamantine & Chitin Suggestions​

Any ideas of items that are made of these materials? Adamantine is a mid/late game high quality metal. Chitin will be more of an early/mid game quality.​

​

Similarly Adamantine is for warriors mostly. While Chitin is intended for rougues.​

​

Wizards have a new wizardly crafting material coming soon!​

 

Item Name: The Kitchen Zinc
Type: Thrown
Description: "Well, what did you THINK they were made out of down here?"
Price: 240
Damage: 8
Powers: Hit="Give Me A Ring"
Craft-able: Yes: 2 Zinc Ingots

 

I'm going to stop taking requests for a little bit before things get to overwhelming. Myself and MrAltamente have quite the list of items to work on.

Any requests following this post will be considered but are not going to be started until we get caught up with current requests and a few personal items to put some crafting materials in the last update to use.

Status Update​

• Two new necklaces/amulets are nearly finished!
• Thrown items bug potentially solved.
• Spells!!! Spells!! and, more Spells are being worked on!!!!

 

As for items and crafts, I can submit to you the code directly, though I'm far too lazy to make icons for them haha.

 

Haha, ok well if people want to submit the code for an item I will add it, and we can create the art for you xD

 

Code:

<item name="The Ballista" iconFile="items/the_ballista.png" level="10" type="4">
<price amount="2700" />
<weapon piercing="18" crushing="8" />
  <primarybuff id="2" amount="-1" />
<secondarybuff id="9" amount="-3" />  <!--  EDR  -->
<secondarybuff id="12" amount="-5" />  <!--  sneakiness  -->
<description text=" A mighty siege machine, made into a portable death delivery system, now with impaling features! ." />
<crossbowShotBuff name="Impale" percentage="25" />
</item>
 
- <spell name="Impale" downtime="3" type="template templateID="03" icon="skills/impale.png" attack="1">
  <description text="A mighty bolt, launched from a monstrous device that can pierce multiple targets at once." />
  <effect type="damage"piercing="24" />
  <anim sprite="sprites/sfx/impact_piercing/impact_piercing" frames="3" sfx="impact" framerate="100" centerEffect="0" />
  </spell>

 

Im happy enough to write up the xml for my ideas, though it will likely take a few days before I can get to them. While competent at xml I have yet to mod anything for dredmor so may take a few days to get them all done as well.

Sugestions or guides as to costs and artifact levels to set items too would be of assistance as I realy have no clue what amount is best for those.

 

Well for yours, they'd be pretty high level. Existential being a rare element, with few enemies having any resistance to it until the very low levels IIRC. Cosbian Horror, Tesseract and nether cube and the other cube slimes are the only creatures with resistance to existential.

 

Hmm, when you guys are finished, would you mind taking orders for art for a full set of armour?

 

Good to know about the existential damage being rare, I'll keep it in mind. I chose it for the theme, given they are conceptually dangerous rather than being of some raw power.

 

Semi-Significant Update.

• No new items, however there were multiple bug fixes involving:
• Fixed thrown weapon bugs
• Fixed crafting bugs
• tweaked some prices
• and some other small balancing tweaks

 

The XML for my items so far, hopefully its all good.
Not usre if thrown items can have a percentage chance property added to them for the hit efffect, so I excluded it from Sticks and stones so it just does it on hit.
Also I excluded the visual debuff from the pen weapons as I have no idea if it's of any effect on a monster let alone of any real use in melee anyway and the basic damage does the theme anyway.
