just dont add powders 🤯

can we also get dark powder which adds the dark element to items

Ok tbh Blank Powder seems interesting. Not in the sense of “oh it gives you normal damage” but in the sense of “here’s a powder that is inert in a chest” it wouldn’t be usable in any way, and it’s only use would be in combining (so like a water T3 and 3 T3 blanks guaranteed you a T4 powder), and also maybe you could do something w/ it in Corkus

blank powder already exists

Look man I just wanna have lore on what the fuck powder is it’s so integral to the gameplay but like what even is it? Are they minerals? If it’s stone dust why aren’t the stones themselves ever sold? What qualifies as a tier? Is it purity, potency?
stiff storm
its in the powder exchange in corkus

Oh yeah but put that shit in loot chests and make in combinable
I thought those were powder tokens nvm
I think blank powder should turn 10% of your neutral damage into neutral damage, and when applied to armor it should turn give you +5 neutral defense and -5 neutral defense

This good at surface, but would defeat the whole purpose of neutral damage and some weapons. Neutral is suppost to not be blocked by eledefs. Also whats gonna be the powder special?
tough swallow
Deal 100% of your normal damage for 10 seconds
pine furnace
Whats that neutral spear called? Thats would be OP. And what about armor powder special?
Get more neu damage the more u egzists?
tough swallow
Yeah exactly it’s very unbalanced
In my opinion I’d love an early level quest where they explain how powders work but also explain like, what they are. Maybe turn the campsite in elemental exercise into like a little lab or something. Man I just want lore for this stuff idk why I’m so intrigued with elemental powder lore but I’ve been thinking about what it is for months now

This actualy good idea
tough swallow
It shows no sign of correlation to geopolitics but also doesn’t seem to be relevant to the economy as no traders will sell it (as in in-game people). However there are experts in it in most towns so it’s also widespread????
It’s a highly coveted item, to the point enemies stow it away in chests and it has a caste of people who are the only ones who can properly use it, but it’s also not sold anywhere? Is it like an illegal item to trade? Is there laws on it? It’s very powerful. If it’s able to do all of this why can it only be applied to items? Why can’t it be used by itself? What even is it?
Ik I’m thinking too hard about it

Blank Powder is honestly where I’m gonna start pondering. Maybe it’s a type of mineral that starts as inert, but through magic becomes imbued with a type of element? In that situation it would make sense that it could be found anywhere, as anyone/enemy who can fight could find it, imbue it with an element, and stow it away in their cave chest. In that way it would only be accessible to the strong, and wouldn’t make much sense to sell in a mercantile system (merchants will only really want to sell something if they know they can find a buyer for it, which is why some dungeon merchants and the people of Corkus are willing to trade for it). This would also explain why stronger areas have more imbued powders. This does raise the question of where powder comes from? My guess is it’s a grounded up mineral of sorts, or a crystal powder such as ground salt.

https://wynncraft.fandom.com/wiki/Powder_Master#Powder_Manual give this a read, it explains how powders work kinda but doesn't explain what they are
tough swallow
Ok
The powder types are reffered to as varieties which kind of makes it sound like they’re all the same thing in different form, so this yields itself to the idea of them all being the same mineral imbued differently.
I would presume powder to be quite volatile as well. Considering combining powders can be so random, as wel as the fact that most people are unwilling to sell it (the ones who are willing literally set up shops directly outside of dungeons so they’re probably strongish), and the fact that only the advanced scientists of Corkus are able to really control it
And higher tiers are more “concentrated”, I presume this means in magical density

Do they mention it? I remember taking the powder class but it was sorta like “lol magic”
No I took the earth class
Do they mention powders?
ok i was wrong
this
this raises more questions than answers
If its an item that is solely made through production and refinement, why is it not sold commonly? It is inert without proper care so that argument doesn't work. Why do only enemies have it in loot chests? I don't see how some corrupteds in a cave are able to properly create powders, and if they're inert without proper production why would the horde them? I like the production idea but it raises so many questions

Lol it was kinda a joke. Still tho, at least it gave me an insightful conversation to read :p
