| ⌈0.75x⌉ FP cost of spells; 0.85x max HP |
| Description |
An old glintstone blade that has been stained with blood.
Reduces FP consumption of sorceries and incantations at the cost
of maximum HP.
The old sorcerers would slice open their hearts with these blades
to imbue a primal glintstone with their soul, and thus did they
die. |
| Notes |
The following
location:
Stargazer's Ruins
in
Mountaintops of the GiantsRegion: Found in a chest in an underground area near the center of the
ruins.
The entrance is sealed by a barrier and there is a talking
Jellyfish outside who is looking for her sister.
Summon your
Spirit Jellyfish that you acquired at the beginning of the game to unlock the
seal.
Sell Value: 2000.
The -25 spell FP roughly translates to 33.3 spell FP efficiency.
The increase in FP efficiency means the effective value of
FP-restoring items, such as Flask of Cerulean Tears, Assassin's
Cerulean Dagger, Ancestral Spirit's Horn, Sacrificial Axe, and Sword
of Milos, is also increased, as you are able to cast more spells
with the amount of flat FP restored.
At 50
Vigor
(1704 HP), this talisman's -15 (1704HP 0.85 1448HP) effectively
reduces Vigor to 40 (1450HP).
At 60 Vigor (1900 HP) it reduces HP to
1615, the equivalent of 47 Vigor.
Due to the diminishing returns on
the amount of HP provided by levels of Vigor beyond its soft caps at
40 and 60, the more Vigor the character has the more equivalent
levels they lose to the 15 reduction.
At 33
Mind
(189 FP), this talisman's 33.3 efficiency (189FP 1.33 252FP)
effectively increases Mind to 42 (248FP).
At 50 Mind (300 FP) it
increases FP to 400, the equivalent of 80 Mind (401 FP).
Mind
provides a relatively flat amount of FP beyond its soft cap at 60
compared to Vigor and HP, but the more Mind the character has the
more equivalent levels they gain from the 33 efficiency.
Using the above points, this talisman will grant the highest amount
of effective levels to characters who are already at high levels of
Mind and lower levels of Vigor.
At low levels of Mind and high
levels of Vigor, this talisman will be less effective than
redistributing levels from Vigor into Mind.
Without any other changes to
HP and
FP, you need 26
Vigor (833 HP) to accept all the HP from a Flask of Crimson Tears 12 (810 HP) and 38
Mind (221 FP) to accept all the FP from a Flask of Cerulean Tears 12 (220 FP).
With a Primal Glintstone Blade
equipped, you must increase your Vigor to 30 (994HP 0.85 844HP)
to fully consume a crimson flask, but your effective spell
FP is increased (221FP 1.33 294) to be on par with 49 Mind (293
FP).
This is a 4 level investment for an 11 level return, or a
net gain of 7 levels. |
