Inscriptions

**Inscriptions** are random modifiers of weapon stats and effects. There are 4 types of inscriptions: ● Normal, ◆ Rare, ◈ Exclusive, and ✦ Gemini. Gemini and Exclusive Inscriptions do not appear until the respective talents are acquired.

The  Legendary Craftsman talent allows a Craftsman to etch 1 additional inscription onto each weapon.

## Normal Inscriptions

● Normal Inscriptions appear on almost any weapon except for the  Foundry. Even the weapons in the initial chest at the start of Longling Tomb will have normal inscriptions. They commonly modify the weapon's core stats, namely damage, rate of fire, magazine, critical damage, reload time and accuracy.

List of normal inscriptions is shown below.

## Rare Inscriptions

◆ Rare Inscriptions may apply different effects to weapon projectiles in addition to altering weapon stats like normal inscriptions. Most significant is the change of damage type, which allows the weapon to be affected by a great number of scrolls and ascensions.

List of rare inscriptions is shown below.

## Exclusive Inscriptions

◈ Exclusive Inscriptions require the  Exclusive Inscription talent to appear on weapons naturally, with the amount a weapon can have being limited by the talent's level, up to 3. They may be more powerful versions of normal or rare inscriptions or apply powerful special effects. Many exclusive inscriptions drastically alter weapon handling and therefore only appear on certain weapon types.

List of exclusive inscriptions that are shared between many weapons is shown below.

### Weapon-specific Exclusive Inscriptions

◈ Weapon-specific Exclusive Inscriptions appear only on their specific weapon type. All weapons have at least one exclusive inscription. They may negate weaknesses, add new effects, modify its  Weapon Skill? or simply add damage boosts for accurate shooters.

List of exclusive inscriptions restricted to only 1 weapon is shown below.

## Gemini Inscriptions

✦ Gemini Inscriptions only activate if **both** equipped weapons have the **same** Gemini inscription. Otherwise, the inscription is inactive and has no effect. They require  Gemini Inscription to appear. Weapons that are +5 or higher when dropped or have their inscriptions rerolled are guaranteed to have a Gemini inscription. Weapons that are +4 or lower will not spawn with a Gemini inscription.

With  Legendary Craftsman, ✦ Gemini Inscriptions are guaranteed to be etched onto a weapon that either has 4 inscriptions or is at least level +5 (even temporarily, such as with  Essence Chain and  Weapon Genius). Only one of those conditions needs to be filled to receive a ✦ Gemini.

Other inscriptions and effects that permanently increase CritX, Magazine Capacity or Elemental Effect Chance for a weapon (Such as  Crit Enhancement,  Hawkeye Sight, ● Magazine +60% and Enhanced weapons) will share the boosted stat with the other weapon if the correct stat sharing Gemini is active. Effects that aren't permanent, such as ◆ +3.0 CritX to the first shot after reload or ◆ *+50% Elemental Effect Chance on hit*(full text) however are not shared (Unless  Dual-Wielding).

Example, pairing  Glimmering (10%  Burning?) and  Lightning Blast (20%  Shock?) with ✦ *Element share*(full text), giving them both 10% Burning and 20% Shock. If Lightning Blast had the ◆ +100% Elemental Effect Chance of this weapon inscription, the shared effects will be changed to 10% Burning and 40% Shock.

Each weapon has a list of Gemini inscriptions that are not available on the weapons. this list is available in game at the Craftsman. List of Gemini inscriptions is shown below (Though this does not at this time show if the inscription is available for the weapon).

## Modifying Existing Inscriptions

Weapon Inscriptions can be modified in three different ways:

* The Craftsman always offers to randomly change an existing ✦ Gemini Inscription for  Copper?. This can be done limitlessly for both weapons, allowing you to choose a set with enough money investment.
* Peculiar chests may offer to:
	+ Upgrade one randomly picked ● Normal inscription to a random ◆ Rare inscription. It cannot select a weapon that has no Normal inscriptions.
	+ Upgrade all ● Normal inscriptions into random ◆ Rare inscriptions. It cannot select a weapon that has no Normal inscriptions, and usually costs more or is rarer.
	+ Upgrade one randomly picked ● Normal or ◆ Rare inscription to a random ◈ Exclusive inscription. It cannot select a weapon that has no Normal or Rare inscriptions, or if the number of Exclusive inscriptions exceeds the maximum number allowed from the  Exclusive Inscription talent. The price is usually a cursed scroll.
	+ Replace all inscriptions with the same amount of random inscriptions. If the weapon is at least level +5, one of the inscriptions will be ✦ Gemini.
* Supreme Craftsman also allows Craftsman to reroll all inscriptions.

## Notes

* Inscriptions that requires a kill for an effect to trigger requires the kill be made by the weapon itself. This means that  Burning?,  Shock?,  Combustion?,  Miasma? and any skills, scrolls, ascensions or blessings that deal damage will not activate the effect.
