NEW: Shade's All About CB Site (in General)

Shade's All About CB Site -- Newbie guide to Carnage Blender items and quick referrence guide for Veterans.

In this site / page i will put all the best forging formulae along with a (hopefully one day) full detailed list of heating times also.

It also contained statistics of the base damage of each weapon and additional helpful special stats.

The page could be a bit a mess atm but i will make it better to look at.
also it is best viewed at a resolution of at least 1024*768

Very nice sir, thanks for you continuing valued input to the community :)

very useful table, but where did the forging times for unforgable items come from?

as i said, i need to do some additional updating :) some items cannot be forged and that will be changed in the guide.

What are the links on the weapon names supposed to lead to?

couple suggestions/fixes

Lucerne Hammer

x281-handed---needs a space between the 28 and the 1 :P


you could possibly put in a column saying whether or not the item is generally "worth" forging, so newer forgers starting out wouldn't be forging daggers to massive sizes ; )

the links will link to a table in which i put the entire forging cycle in detail so if you lost track of heating / quenching time you can check there and continue without losing BA :)

here are the forge times you didnt know/missed :)

A Katana : Base Damage 74 ; 1 handed ; forge formula for x[100,22] +[80,25]

A Tulwar ; Base Damage 18 ; 1 handed ; forge formula for x[80,16] +[60,19]

A Composite bow ; Base Damage 4 ; forge formula for x[82,17] +[65,20]

A Heaume ; Base AC 5 ; forge formula [32,5] ; Magic Penalty -6% ; Dex Penalty -4%

A Small Wooden Shield ; Base AC 4 ; forge formula [55,12] ; Magic Penalty -2% ; Dex Penalty -1%

Holy man , that took me about 2-30 minutes to type up im guessing , thats the longest post ive ever posted and probally will ever post :) hope you get ur page done!!!!

nice zach...now get the full forging page of each one :P

took me 40 minutes or more to type it , because i got like 4 or 5 BA refreshes , lol , ill try and get some of the BA per cycles if i can

What are all the items listed on the bottom?

the items listed on the bottom will contain a full forging log.

will all the items , including armour be containing a full forging log?? or just the ones listed?

Hey, Shade, great work! Noticed a bitty glitch though.
In CB2, the Katana and Claymore switched identities. This caused a bit of confusion but it was eventually figured out in Stump's forums. Their forge times are appropriately switched as well; I have a Katana listing of x[100, 25] +[80, 25] which has worked superbly for me. Haven't played with a Claymore, though.

Chernobyl, 25 works? I thought on katana it should be 22. Shade are you doing the list for cb2 or cb1, it looks like thats cb1 cycles. And what about this site http://umk.mjm88.com/cb/ isn't that better.

as i said there are some things that need to be fixed, i put in very early CB1 data and will check tomorrow or monday for the rest of the information as well as doing some other updates.

updated it all with Zachs information and some of my own :)

reminder for me :

<{Forger}-Wasp> you should make it so you have the list of items, then you click the item you want, then he page comes up with the forge log for it, the times and any other info on that item
=> {Forger}-Wasp a log page for each item then?
<{Forger}-Wasp> erm
<{Forger}-Wasp> you got 1 blanc empty page, with a list of items on it
<{Forger}-Wasp> then when you click the item you want, all the info comes up on it
=> {Forger}-Wasp hmmm, im not that proficient with html :)
=> {Forger}-Wasp i could make a base page with the tables
=> {Forger}-Wasp and then at a click that it goes to another page and that that one has a home
=> {Forger}-Wasp i'd have to make a lot of pages though but that wouldnt bug me
=> {Forger}-Wasp but you mean a page to pop up dont you?
=> {Forger}-Wasp main => click on item name => popup with item info
<{Forger}-Wasp> no not a pop up page
<{Forger}-Wasp> well u could do a popup page, or code them so that you cna press a giant arrow and it go back to the main page
<{Forger}-Wasp> im pretty basic with html (i use front page) but i can get there eventually
=> {Forger}-Wasp i use dreamweaver
<{Forger}-Wasp> htats a nice programe
=> {Forger}-Wasp ^_^
<{Forger}-Wasp> but i prefer simple old front page
=> {Forger}-Wasp i can make it so that i have a button on the "extended item stats page"
=> {Forger}-Wasp and that that page links back to the top of the main page
<{Forger}-Wasp> aye
<{Forger}-Wasp> stuff like that makes websites look neater and more pro

you know, this is a little like mine.. except for some additional info...
maybe we should combine them or something

I wonder why mine never made it to community pages lol

updated some more things AND added a counter ;) (which i should have done way sooner)

I found a much better Elven Long Bow forging formula, I'll post here so you can make the change.

[70,17:30]
Rough progress meter: 65.719%
Heat 70
Cast Viscous
66.228%
Cool to the touch
66.483%
Heat 17:30 and Temper
67.246%
Cool and done
Rough progress meter: 67.754%

[70,16:30]
Rough progress meter: 67.754%
Cast Viscous
68.263%
Cool to the touch
68.518%
Heat 16:30 and temper
69.789%

So over all in Tempers

First 17:30- 1.271 increase
My Formula 16:30- 1.526

Doesn't look like much but when you’re gaining 2% per cycle it really adds up.

15:30 (as in my site) and 16:00 are the same sweet spots i haven't included 17:30 in the site...

Then I guess nevermind, I'm not quite sure where I figured that it was 17:30 in your post, maybe I've been forging to much lately =P

updated the site: changed address so you might run into a small error (its index.html now instead of SQRFT.html)

updated exbow, ELS and HoE as main items, will update more tomorrow

main changes so far:

changed melee weapons to be alphabetical
changed the way some things list (secondary pages)

updated 15 items, pretty much all recent item changed.

fixed few minor things :)

Mithril Shield takes you to the dreaded white screen, will check for more broken links:)

Cooper, it works just fine to be honest... :)

Now it works for me too, not sure what the problem was.:/

i think you caught me just before i updated, that link had a small error (MA instead of MS) :P

updated most recent BG and MgS changes. :)

fixed CoI error

inserted and already updated information about the new Vorpal Blade.


including:
sweet spot forging formulae for both damage and to-hit
forge logs
some blacksmith upgrade prices (single point prices)

Shade is might be great to make a site that help making strat and some concept behind them.I can give most data curve breakpoint.

would be great to add that indeed :)


updates:

-added all 1-handed melee weapons & change the table to be slimmer
-moved BA use for forging to each items stats page.
-added additional shield penalties (1-hand / 2-hand / ranged penalties)

I found puzzling the explanation of how Morgul and BTh draining ability works: here it is.

Drains life for 20% of damage: If you do 10,000 damage, you can drain a maximum* of 2,000 HP from your target and add it to your own HP.

* The minimum is 20% of the current HP of the target, in other words if the minion/familiar you hit only has 100 life and you do 1000 damage you would still only drain 20 life.


I think that in the *note you meant that another maximum is 20% of the current HP of the target.

Manta: indeed confusing, the minimum i typed should have been a maximum.

changed Buckler of Mandos also, updated with forging logs + new formula

apparently Jonathan changed the formula from [ 125 , 25 ] to [ 115 , 22 ]

Thanks to Yohan for hinting me to the error :)


as for the VA issue: both Morgul Hammer and Blade of Thuringwethil are updated.

For Helm's Gauntlet's the bonus for UC per + is 1.5 UC added to the effect. In other words if you have a UC power of (12) and had +4 HG's you would increase your UC power to (18).

tnx cooper, updated

got through about 20 posts and decided that was enough

Adam is [220,40(xtra quench)]

you forgot the extra quench.

will be updated next time :P

updated some things:

added hidden UC penalties
fixed Vorpal Blade blacksmith prices and added some more of them :)


will be filling in many spots of the other items later this week
