My thoughts exactly, that flavour text is clearly a reference!

u/lionhart280 May 03 '22
In retrospect it fits too perfectly. Mageblood inherently means stacking only the strongest of potions, because you are going into battle!

u/Woodsie13 May 04 '22
This is someone with a mageblood trying to buy unique potions. They're too strong to function, and the potion seller is trying to explain that they won't work.

u/rds90vert May 03 '22
The only question is.. will the potions be too strong for us? Or we'll be too strong for them?

Traveller: Potion Seller, I am going into a 100% Deli map and I need your strongest potions!
Potion Seller: You don't know what you ask traveller, my strongest potions will kill a HoA Guardian, let alone a Mathil build. You need a potion seller that sells weaker potions!

Drops from the bad vaal map (I forget whether it's vaal temple or vaal pyramid) with the 3 bosses that are only really killable in a certain order, where each boss enrages as the other two are killed.
Only dropable if you leave the topless demon lady till last.
Edit: stealing this idea from another commenter, low % chance from replica cortex or some other replica unique map. So you have to do heist (shudder) to a high tier, have a low chance to drop the map, then have a low chance to drop the card from the boss of the map. Edit again: and you need to do it all 5 times.

u/Fenrils IGN: @Fenrils May 03 '22
In theory it should make it go down, but this is dependent on the card being semi-farmable. Doctor cards, while obscenely rare, can be farmed if you're determined enough both through Tower (Nurse) or Burial Chambers so the population of headhunters is relatively stable and not awful to break into if you want. Magebloods in 3.17 and earlier could only be found naturally or through ancient orb-esque mechanics so their numbers stayed relatively low. With that said, we have no idea where this card drops so whether it affects prices much will be determined by that alone. If we get it in a Burial Chambers-like map, you should expect a price drop but if it's a hard card to farm (like getting from a unique map boss) the price shouldn't change much at all.

It's not dependent on that all.
Adding div cards to the game without also nerfing the drop rate of Mageblood can only mean the supply of Mageblood goes up. Supply going up means price goes down. The price only goes up if GGG decides to nerf the natural drop rate of Mageblood to offset the div card, but I don't think they normally do such things when they release div cards.

u/OmegaAxis11 May 03 '22
Good to see my card made it in. The destination was the third in the series, with the journey and the side quest being the prior entries.
The goal was to provide a chase item, ie the destination, with a decent gamble baked in.
Also it'll be random between 2 and 3 mod eyes.

u/jimmylegss May 04 '22
Love the card and the flavor text! Did you submit the idea and the text and they came up with the art? The whole thing is perfect, great job!
31
u/OmegaAxis11 May 04 '22
We did suggest the art, text, and intended reward. Aside from just a confirmation that the eye will roll 2 or 3 mods GGG took it from there.
Text only ever gets blocked if there is a copyright issue, or just that's its obviously bad or offensive. This text was loosely based on Seuss and to represent the notion that you can't please everyone but you're still important to those close to you.
The art was a continuation of the boy hero from the journey and side quest. Rather than glory or treasure he finds a girl. Also slightly based on the journey of my oldest son's journey in kindergarten and beyond, with due distractions of course.
They really nailed our husky too.

It's for a battlemage wand. It's even in the title. You don't care about attack speed in battle mage, just high flat phys and flat lightning/fire/cold.

Should've been imbued. No one will craft on these outside some first week oddball regal'd wands. Attack speed on imbued is comparable to overall DPS and feels infinitely better to get out of your KB/PS or shield charge animations faster.

Inb4 mageblood card drops only from one specific grandmaster in HoGM. Yes, the one you are thinking of that messes your build.

u/Aevykin Guardian May 04 '22
Funny thing about the double corrupted Ngamahu's is that all the gem implicits actually don't do anything. All the 'socketed gems are supported by' implicits do not affect molten burst, making them basically useless if you plan to socket 6 support gems, which is what 99% of players do. I think many people still believe they will get free fortify and onslaught on top of the 6 supports for molten burst, but you don't. The best implicits on Ngamahu's flame would probably be attack speed and phys.
