Lightning Strike

Simply point, and you shall summon the wrath of the sky.

Lightning Strike is a two-handed elemental staff with no bench recipe of its own: Cast: Lightning Strike is poured at a level 3 Galdr table from 10 Bloodgold, 5 Nornathread, one Thunderblood Essence and one Mould: Lightning Strike, then hardened into the finished staff at a Frost Foundry, which burns Liquid Frost for 50 seconds to do it. A cast costs 40 eitr and fires a bolt at 30 speed for 300 lightning, rising 20 a quality level to 360 at quality 4. It holds 400 durability, blocks for 48, trains Elemental Magic and has no secondary attack. Carrying it costs 5% movement speed.

How it's made

No bench makes this outright. The station recipe below only upgrades it; the piece itself is cast from a mould and hardened at a Frost Foundry.

3. Harden it at the Frost Foundry

50 seconds burning Liquid Frost turns the cast into the finished Lightning Strike. Upgrades then happen at the Galdr Table, level 4 and up.

Upgrade recipe
Station Galdr TableLevel 3

Listed at the Galdr Table for upgrades only; the base amounts are what the cast above already cost. Per-level costs are in the table below.

Past quality 4, the Forge of Potential will take it one level further for 1 Bloodgold Battle Idol plus 22 Bloodgold, 9 Nornathread and 4 Thunderblood Essence. No other station asks for the idol.

Each quality level adds 20 damage and 50 durability. Quality 2 costs the per-level amount, quality 3 twice that and quality 4 four times, so the last level is more than half of the total.
