The Magician's Tower

I am sure there is a subject somewhere here about them, but I haven't seen it yet and I love it so much I wanted to make sure everyone knew about them.

Tonic of Resonant Fire XIII is a 48 min buff that has a chance to proc an additional 2625 damage on every fire nuke you cast. In just a rough estimation I would guess it is about a 30 percent chance to proc, and can crit for just over 7k for me with 80pct fire focus. The level 14 of it is for 3k base damage.

Ingredients: Aderirse bur, bundle of blue nightwort, bundle of tri-fern leaves, 2x bundle of mandrake roots, dragon runed potion vial, and vervian. Aderirse bur is the only dropped component, rest can be bought from alchemy vendors in pok. 460 trivial on that combine, 300 skill/max trophy shaman made 76 out of 100 attempts, cost approx 48p per attempt, each combine only makes 1 potion.

The tonic of resonant magic works for summoned DDs, and the only difference in ingredients is replace the 2each bundle of mandrake roots with 2each handful of allspice, all else is the same.

may want to quote those, i think as they get stuff entered those posts will be deleted

the 12's take sunshard powder (dropped), angelica, and a different vial i forget offhand...rest of the recipe i'd think would remain the same. angelica replaces one of the pieces in the 13 recipe, vervian i believe. I havent made any of the potions, but found a few in bazaar already being sold for 70-80pp each.

the proc on the 12 is 2250, offhand i think, and with all the aa and item extension i can get a 48 minute buff.

edit: the ingame book about the recipes can be bought off the automated vender in brells rest up by the gatekeeper

Does anyone know what the interaction is between these buffs and Mana Flare type spells?

They *should* be totally independent. MR uses a (100%) "chance to proc" per cast while these potions use a "proc rate" over time. The attributes used are 339 vs. 383, so they're completely different types of effects.

Somethings going on; after reviewing around 500 casts with MR Aura and the fire tonic active, I'm seeing MR superseed the Tonic, every time until the 2 hit counters on The MR Aura (new post UF) are used up. After those hit counters are used then the Tonics fire just fine. Wire's analysis is always top notch as we saw in Beta. So I'm sure he's right that they "should" be independant.

So I made a crap load of these -- Fire and Magic for my mage, and Poison and Cold for my BST. I absolutely love these and here's why... I have a baby shaman that has max trophy and 300 skill in alchemy with all tradeskill aa-- the cost to make these is a joke really... even with fails. Compared to the Scorpion Agony line of potions which I was using before (which I can't make since I don't have a rogue), and was paying upwards of 650pp each, again these are great.

They don't last as long ... this is true, but I almost never go on stretches of 2+ hours at time. Usually all i have time for is a LOD burn etc, and then raids.

For some foolish reason I really thought these would proc off weapon procs as well... which for instance I have 2 on my bst that are both cold based. Not sure why I thought that, but obviously they do not. For a BST anyhow, they are a joy since most of our DD's and even DOT's that have an initial DD attached to them have a cast time of 0 or 0.5, and these procs go off often... very often for me.

On my mage, when I do an LOD burn on summoned-tagged creatures, the magic ones really shine. Anyhow just a great way to add a bit of damage and a great bang for the buck!

Folks selling these for 750pp in bazaar now.. jeesh! I am so happy I have over 1000 Aderirse Bur in the bank

Since I solo for LOD burns on my toons, I have not noted any stacking issues (no mana flare), so can't add or comment on issues with it being blocked or superseded by something else.

gouging hehe, i havent checked in a couple days but they are going for 70-80pp each for x2 - x3's on povar
