[G13S1] Advanced elemental Cylinders

[ferghus]

New weapons: Advanced elemental alchemy cylinders
Tidalwave Cylinder
Volcano Cylinder
Hurricane Cylinder
Earthquake Cylinder


Alchemy damage enhancement
These cylinders act similar to our current Water, Fire, Wind and Earth Cylinders, but double the elemental damage amplification effect of current cylinders:
Tidalwave Cylinder: +30% water alchemy damage.
Volcano Cylinder: +30% fire alchemy damage.
Hurricane Cylinder: +36% wind alchemy damage.
Earthquake Cylinder: +18% earth alchemy damage.

Basic elemental Cylinder damage amplification for comparison:
Water Cylinder: +15% water alchemy damage.
Fire Cylinder: +15% fire alchemy damage.
Wind Cylinder: +18% wind alchemy damage.
Earth Cylinder: +9% earth alchemy damage.


S/R Upgradeable
The new advanced elemental cylinders can be S/R upgraded. Basic elemental cylinders do not support this upgrade. Artisan upgrade is not supported.


Needed more info
Better standard upgrades? Costs? How to obtain?


Not a bad boost for Alchemy users, I'd say. Does the damage amplification from cylinders directly translate into Golem damage output, does anyone know? An extra 9% on Snow Golem's 6k crit Smash wouldn't be bad to have, if it does work that way. xP

Old stuffs, but yes ~"~ cylinder does help increase golem stats that are effected by ranking golem skills (Which are HP, Defense, Protection, and Damage). Unfortunately, there is no way you can increase the critical rate of the golems, which make smash less useful (If it was allowed, I don't think Melee will exist anymore much anyway...).

Estimated dmg of a Snow Golem aka. Gundam ="=;; at rank1 summoning with rank 1 alchemy is probably about 261-531 max dmg. So with the cylinder effect it will probably be up to ~626 max dmg. So opposed to the 9% increase of the 6k smash, it is actually 9% increase to the max dmg ~300 dmg more increase from smash not accounting defense of target and things.
