Talk:Stream of Sauce

From A KoL Wiki

Shouldn't the (random sauce) part of the When Used description still be there? It wasn't referring to the element, it was a placeholder for which sauce type was cast. (Alfredo, Barbecue, etc.) The new text has no such placeholder.

Also, having the (hot or cold) placeholder in the When Used section makes the first Note kind of redundant. The second note should be clear enough.--Salien 23:31, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

NS13 effects

I just attacked a monster in the black forest with very high monster level boosting equipment on. It worked, but I got a message, which I will go back and check later. It said something to the effect that "The sheer volume of sauce causes some of it to backfire, doing 15 cold damage to you." This is obviously new, has it been documented on another page? --Kazim 10:25, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

  • I don't believe so. I added a tag to the main Sauceror and Pastamancer pages about it but that's it so far. From my experience it seems to be some sort of damage cap: if you try to inflict too much damage with a low-level spell you get a backfire and greatly reduced damage from what it should have been. The practical solution (until everything is spaded out) is to switch to higher-level spells which either don't have a cap or have a higher cap -- Saucestorm and Cone of Whatever worked well for me. --Harry Crimboween 12:54, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
  • The damage cap appears to be 23-24. Also notable is that a huge spoon does not help in bypassing the cap. --Dornbeast 13:31, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
  • I didn't get a damage backfire, but when using Stream, I got 1 turn of Frozen/Burning Hands. No idea what the effect does, though...
  • The most damage I seemed to be able to get out of it today was 23. All casts were either 22 or 23. At 22 I did not get splashback effects. At 23 I did. --J12601 18:40, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
  • Hm... My damage cap for Stream of Sauce is 24; if I hit 24 I get Burning or Frozen Hands. For Saucestorm it's 55 and if I hit it I get Burning Ears or Frozen Shoulders. All effects are only for the adventure in which they're acquired and I haven't noticed any actual effect. Perhaps they make you weak to a certain element? In any case, this does mean that max spell damage increasers doesn't equal best equipment for spellslinging now, at least if you don't want to use Saucegeyser. Something to spade.

My stats: Level 11, 111 (108) myst, +23 spell damage. Lumire 20:16, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

  • Fighting in the defiled alcove where hot damage should be doubled I seemed to have a damage cap of 38 with a 17-alarm Saucepan (+15 damage) and a Codex of Capsaicin Conjuration (+10) and stats of 45 65 44.--Doz 10:25, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
  • I've now played with this as both a sauceror and a non-sauceror. My only permanent sauceror damage spell is stream, so I didn't get to try the others. But as a sauceror, I'm getting burning/frozen hands, while as a pastamancer I took damage. Unless there have been some new updates between now and my pasta run, that probably means that you get beneficial overflow effect when you are a sauceror, and harmful effect when you aren't. This is clearly an attempt to discourage cross-class spellcasting. I'm very interested in knowing what will happen if a non-sauceror casts wave of sauce, so I'll post that question there too. --Kazim 15:58, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

New Bug?

When defeating the naughty sorceress' second form, I used stream of sauce, which, due to splashback, gave me the one-adventure Frozen Hands effect. This effect did not disappear after I defeated her, and stayed until my next combat, after which it vanished normally. However, it was present and active during the aforementioned second combat. What is the reasoning for this? Is it because the second form does not consume an adventure, which I seem to remember reading somewhere? I figured I'd ask about it here first, rather than reporting it. --Maramros 21:37, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

  • The NS battle is special. Things like the scorpion whip poisoning last through the second form. Probably not a bug, but a quirk of this encounter. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 23:27, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
