The cap is 38. I synthed one @lvl 33 Goldsmithing and got a skill up on a break, which can only happen @5 levels below the cap or less. I skilled on them all the way to 38.
I skilled Goldsmithing up to 36 on them last night. Somepage says the cap is 38. I'll know tonight if Somepage is right, but at the very least the cap listed here is wrong.
I am level 35 Goldsmithing and got a rusty dagger off a Wendigo, used light crystal to make it a dagger, and got .1 skillup on goldsmithing with this recipe. What this means is, it is at least level 36 cap
Im currently making these to skill-up goldsmithing and i have failed synth completely consistently while 2 to 0.5 under 34 cap. Even with Moghancement: Earth i am losing the synth completely sometimes... is there an alchemy sub-craft to this? (smithing is lvled to 35 so it cant be that) or do add. effect weapons just fail more? otherwise i would place the cap at least above 36.
I dont see what the big problem over this dagger is... the only reason why i got the dagger was because it was about 1k cheaper than a regular dagger and it does the same damage, and i wasnt about to fork out 10k for a +1 knife or dagger JUST before i hit lv 15 in thf and i have to go get my Balance Rings.
Does anyone know how long a battery lasts when equipped in the ammo slot? Does it cost one battery per electric hit of your knife, or can 1 battery last a couple hits or even fights?
Every time the effect triggers, you will use 1 battery.
I don't know how often these trigger, but I do suspect they will do it more often and for more damage then a normal additional damage: lightning at this level. Enthunder will very likely do more damage (and all the time, as long as the spell lasts)
from what i have gathered the effect kicks in a bit more than other added effects
Where as a Fire sword equipped form levels 18-32 might activate a total of 10 times
The weapons taht require an ammo slot seem to activate every few minutes sometimes kicking in more damage than the actual weapon itself
What i dont know is if the damage mentioned above with being more than the weapon is dealt due to the equip of the Kilo or Mega ammo slot.
In my opinion no one will ever know because batteries hydro pumps and Wind fans are so rarely crafted and so expensive that it would be hard to get some real evidence
The spark spear has the exact same stats as the Brass spear I believe but, It has the extra battery stat. I had one for a while but it is too hard to find batteries. so I got rid of it.
On their own, Spark weapons mostly suck. (Dagger, Knife, Baselard, and I imagine more, just not seen any others yet.) Thier damage is sub par for a weapon of it's level usually, and the delay rate is never very great. However, if you have the money to blow as if you were a ranger (ie: THF, which I why there may only be daggers) the batteries can help do absurd damage.
Nobody on Titan bothers to make normal batteries, only Kilo and Giga versions. I bought the Baselard and Giga stack (each swing consumes one battery) to test it out. Needless to say, RDMs can tend to get jealous. Each stab was about 15-20 damage with all my attack up garbage on Goblin Bouncers, and a 30 damage electric blast. :)
If it's a consistant damage of 30, these things will be GOD for hunting elementals with their titanic defense. (Not that I need it. NIN > Elem)
Oh, and I tried them with one dagger and not two. Unsure if they'll dual wield proper, if they do it'd be nice, but be a hole that swallows your money.

full stack of batteries goes for 30k on Phoenix, i've only seen them in jeuno so far
A friend of mine got a rich japanese friend of his to buy him a stack and he started using them with his spark dagger, he told me the electricity effect was doing more than his normal damage
now if only i knew how to make them i'd start burning out my pockets working up the skills, tho i'd guess its a smithing/alchemy combo like bullets
I found out that on Bismarck, ONLY once was a Battery sold in the 3 major regions (Haven't checked jeuno) a person named Sanone made 99 Kilo Batterys... sold for 27k.
These batteries apparently are time based ammo that fuels your lightning effects, so if you got an extra 10k or more, or can make the batterys yourself, then... sure! Get a spark knife!
