Arcane Essence Recycled Amounts
Arcane Essence Consumption
- Players have an invisible "Damage Progress Meter" that is tracked for them when inflicting damage in Aspect Gear, and when the meter reaches 100%, the character will lose 1 Arcane Essence Charge (and the meter will reset to 0%)
- Progress for the meter increases by (Damage Inflicted) / (3000 - (Current Aspect Tier * 30)) %
- This is calculated on both the armor, and the weapon/spell book being worn separately
- Any bonuses the players have towards reducing Arcane Essence Consumed (such as Weekly Server Region Bonuses) will reduce the amount the Meter increased by that much
Example:
- A player wearing Tier 10 Fire Aspect armor inflicts 500 damage, which will result in the meter filling up (500 / (3000 - (10 * 30))) = '''18.5%'''
Warning Notification
- Players can specify the exact point at which they will be warned when their Arcane Essence Charges remaining on their character drops below that number
- The "Warn When Below" value indicates the specific point where a notification message and sound will be generated for the player
- Clicking the "Set" button in the Aspect Mastery menu will launch a menu where players can type in a specific number they want to be warned at
- Players can then click the "Set Target" button in the pop up window to accept the new Target Number
- Players may monitor remaining Arcane Essence using an Info Bar
