Apparently this can now be purchased from the /marketplace in-game at a cost of 500 gold. I am curious if the marketplace item and this OOW item have the same effect?

Anyone tested this to see if it is adding dmg to detrimental spells for Cold & Fire based DD or Dot spells?

This buff used to last about 20 minutes. I've had it running for just over 2 hours now.
Use?

For the past few weeks I have not seen a particle effect come out of this item. No more snow dancing around my character :(
It still takes up a buff slot called 'Gelidran Aura', but other than that it does not seem to have any function what-so-ever.
RE: No more fun effect
# Jan 20 2006 at 8:40 PM Rating: Decent
LOL...

turn your particle effects back on and I bet you'll see the effect again ;-)
RE: No more fun effect
# Mar 02 2005 at 9:00 PM Rating: Decent
To have removed the only real use this item had is just downright pathetic. Some of us -want- to be sparkly and shiny. And really.. there is no other purpose for this.

Anyone else confirm the particle effect was permenantly removed, or is it just broken like so many other things?

Checked Lucy?
# Feb 07 2005 at 4:33 PM Rating: Decent
Just wondering if anyone has checked the effect report from lucy? For some reason it lists it as:

Category: Invisibility

...anyone looked into this? I don't have one so I cannot test it. Curious tho imo.

It's not a normal invisability (I can still see me without my name in parenthesis). However invis Vs undead, and invis Vs animals aren't noticable besides the buff slot, so perhaps this spell makes you invisible to some certain mobs out there? Summoned maybe?

effects on free items from oom
# Dec 28 2004 at 7:47 PM Rating: Default
it is NOT sonys responsibility to get people to buy the "retail" version of the game. It is the stores responsibility to do that. it maybe an INCENTIVE to get them to buy the retail version to help the stores out. period.
if the store is going "belly up" maybe the store is who is responsible for that problem. NOT sony.

however, i do believe the incentibe should be presented to us, by whatever means we preferr to purchase the game. digital or retail. OUR choice. I found the game to be the same price, either way. digital was just faster, where as , depending on the store--and if-they were out of stock.than what do we do..wait.........

the "key" chain in the retail box, yes, they want the key chain they buy retail. but the free weapon should be available to everyone that purchased the game. period.

Stoopid thing
# Dec 25 2004 at 12:26 PM Rating: Default
Well, this thing does nothing. I tried both the cold and the fire. The clicky is not doing anything. NO COLD (or fire) spell damage enhancement, no damage shield,no mana regen... what a stoopid thing

try turning particle effects on, then zoom out slightly.

theres what it does. thats it.
Why ????
# Oct 19 2004 at 2:33 AM Rating: Decent
Why do the ppl who get box setts get a free item?
When us others download the game get nothing from sony. I hope sony acctually will give us something for those who get it via sony download.
RE: Why ????
# Jan 08 2005 at 3:51 PM Rating: Excellent
Those who D/L from Sony dont get anything? Well, how long did YOU have to wait to play the game? Took us a couple days for the expansion to even show up in the store. Even when we have pre-ordered some of them in the past, we had to wait until the following day to get them.

What you got was instant game when the game went live. Stop yer griping and buy it retail if you want extra goodies.

If you dont wanna, deal with not having a Faction Modifier Staff or some other trinket.

Why range?
# Oct 11 2004 at 9:33 AM Rating: Decent
OK, just to add in another complaint outside of the fact no one knows what the thing does, why did they have to make it range only? I'm a Ranger, I use my bow alot, it's my weapon of choice. Aint no way I'm swapping my Primal Velium reinforced bow for this piece of junk.
RE: Why range?
# Nov 11 2004 at 9:18 AM Rating: Decent
I have the item on my ranger. Check it out. You CAN put it in an open inventory slot and it works. I know I use it.

I have found this item to be GREAT!!! I don't know if anyone has noticed that is using this is your mana regenerates a whole lot quicker not to mention the stats it gives....I love it, you can even cast it while fighting a creature because you dont have to target yourself and it NEVER fizzles....I do understand what you are saying about the range thing....

Hope this helps,

.. Even if in the end there is no actual stat-enhancing effect from this, at the very least it is a mana free way to work up skill in what is usually the last school of magic to get any consideration. I have grouped with many an end-game level caster that still manages to fizzle when trying to cast a high level divination school spell. This little trinket is a fine way to get that pesky school mastered during downtimes once and for all...
Oh, and it can never hurt to have another free means of filling "junk-buff" slots prior to fights with magic-cancelling mobs =)

(but I hope there turns out to at least be some actual in-game benefit to having the buff on)
Both Shards
# Sep 27 2004 at 3:09 PM Rating: Decent
Here's an idea:

SOE made the effort of creating two in game items, the Burning Crystal Shard and the Frozen Crystal Shard, with two effects, Pyrilen Aura and Gelidran Aura, with two different particle effect graphics.

They also added an NPC, with dialog, that can swap out each item. His name is Bertrand Bibblesworth.

It seems like a lot of effort was put into this.

My idea is to use both items simultaneously and STACK the effects. I tested it, and it can be done. You can be covered in flame and snow at the same time. You'll also have around 10-12 minutes to see if anything happens with both Pyrilen Aura and Gelidran Aura going concurrently.

Time to test my theory...


RE: Both Shards
# Sep 27 2004 at 4:10 PM Rating: Good
Indeed there is some effort in putting this NPC for simple toys. But I have looked up for Gelindran and Pyrilen (names of the effects of both shards) in Allakhazam's spell search and I found other spells with the same name (for example Gelindran's Anger) that improves dmg of fire or cold based spells. These spells also have different upgrades still using the same name going from 25% to 50% I think. So there must be some quest to upgrade the shards to those spell effects. Just my 2 copper
use
# Sep 20 2004 at 2:54 AM Rating: Decent
These items must be used in some sort of quest like the staff from the last expansion?

So far the only benifit I can see from this effect is a free junk buff. From dispelling mobs.
If that is the case a fire or ice effect is up to the user by turning in to the gnomb guy mentened by Cphopp below...
fun effect
# Sep 15 2004 at 4:29 PM Rating: Decent
effect simply makes fire/ice particles shimmer around you =)

edit: can be handed in to the gnome by the tree near the nexus stone for the one with the fire particle effect

The benefit of the effect? Makes you feel foolish for buying the CD instead of just downloading.

No, the benefit of the effect is. Makes you feel foolish for buying GoD in the first place if your not in a supa guild.

What gets me is that they have to make more money off of the downloads. So why not give the people who downloaded the game the same thing?
RE: effect
# Sep 20 2004 at 9:07 AM Rating: Decent
They have to give some incentive to buy the game from the store. If they make the stores angry then the stores won't carry the game, if the stores don't carry the game then they don't get any new customers from the stores.

They still want new customers, so they have to do something. The retail outlets got upset about LoY where you got it cheaper by downloading it AND got it sooner. So, since then, they've tossed in benefits for retail purchases. It seems as if the in-game benefit is getting weaker and weaker, though.
