It’s only a pc thing

Hey hey! I’m finally back on the Shard and am up for some roleplay as well. I could also do some dming if that’s what we need. No idea how good I am at at, but I’d certainly be open to giving it a try.

Well, only a little bit . Mostly I want to give more thought and attention to the power of Feruchemy, which just so happens to include F-Tin.

Daily Feruchemy Analysis Day 3: F-Tin Alrighty folks, we’re hitting it early. For those of you that don’t know, I am an outspoken speaker of F-Tin, and even have My own cult dedicated to it. I’d recommend giving it a look, as I have made all of my arguments for why F-Tin is great in the past. So I will not regale you with the glory of F-Tin, just ask that you look back to my previous posts. Now, do I think it is the best Feruchemantic metal? Maybe. It is the best generalist metal, meaning that just about everyone can get good use out of it. It is great for all walks of life, and is fairly easy to store, and sometimes even convenient, which is awesome. I think there are better metals for certain situations, like I think Skimmers are better fighters than Windwhisperers are, but all in all, F-Tin is great. Rating: 9/10. Excellent metal, great for so many things, but there are certainly things you can’t do with it.

Daily Feruchemy Analysis Day 2: F-Steel Another banger of an ability. Nearly everything is better when done quickly, at least when it comes down to non-recreational activities. Only downside is that it is really annoying to store speed. Even moving 3/4 as fast as you’re used to sounds so very annoying. My only thought of when it would be fine to store is when you are completely stationary, like watching a movie. Even then, you’ll want to eat something probably, which will be annoyingly slow. So basically it’s something that is really nice and very powerful, but you can only use it sparingly because it is an absolute pain to store. So really, it’s usability is limited. You want to get somewhere fast? You better really want it, because you will need to spend a while being painstakingly slow to make up for what you’ve used. Rating: 7/10. However annoying it might be to store, it is still very nice, which is why this isn’t a 5/10.

So basically my end plan is to create a thread at the end of it all making a ranking of all the feruchemantic metals. I don’t have a super defined ranking system. It’s mostly just how useful it would be to have that Ferring, be it in daily life, military use, or even government use. Whatever could be considered a benefit or a drawback. We’re mostly going to be thinking about Scadrial, as otherwise this would be in Cosmere discussion. However, the Cosmere is becoming more and more connected, so we shall see.

This might be just the thread to ask this question, or this might be yet another tangent. Dumbing things down for the people at home, and also keeping in mind that I’m a biology student, not a physics student, what happens to your movement when storing? I would think you get some amount faster due to muscles needing to push less than usual, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if the magic be weirder than that.

Also quick question: I think this is still kind of in flux as the site changes, but why can’t I see someone’s post count and reputation title on their posts? I’m on mobile, and I did like seeing those

Yeah! You could beat basically all of the typical Allomancer tricks, past maybe nicrosil enhanced stuff.

Well, I have officially returned to the Shard, and I’ve decided to revive an old flame. While I think the Random Twinborn Combos thread has run its course, I still think there are unanswered questions to still address. Namely: what metals and abilities are the best? So this will be a daily thread regarding the feruchemy side of things, aka the more interesting side of the question. We’ll be going by the feruchemy table, so that means starting with F-Iron and working our way down. For simplicity’s and relevance’s sake, I’ll be assuming the person in question is a Ferring, and not a twinborn, feruchemist, or hemalurgist. As always, I welcome and actively request your thoughts. At the end of it all, I will create a ranking that we can pick apart. So without further ado, let’s get started! Daily Feruchemy Analysis Day 1: F-Iron wow we are starting off with a banger. This is probably the most documented metal we have, with a whole four books of pov to go off of. It also happens to be really rusting powerful. Obviously this has nice effects with many allomantic metals, but that’s not what this is about. What can this do on its own? well, a lot of things really. While storing, you can make yourself very light, which means you can survive any fall and, presumably, move faster in general, as your muscles are moving a lower body weight than it’s used to. Now, I don’t think you’ll be crazy fast, but probably faster than normal. Plus, storing weight is almost certainly going to be the initial basis of space travel. So there’s that too. Oh, and the possibility of being a decent investiture to energy machine. Tapping weight gets interesting. As we’ve seen from Wax, it makes you a pseudo-pewterarm. Strategically tapping to tank hits and to deliver power hits. Great stuff. Frankly, I don’t think there needs to be much more analysis on this. Relatively straightforward metal, with both martial and common uses. Certainly crazy scientific uses. Overall just a really good metal to have, and certainly very strong. Rating: 8.5/10. Awesome stuff.

Yeah, I know, but before you just clicked the Shard logo and went right up to forums. So that’s more steps than there was before. But it’s a slight nitpick.

Overall I’m quite a fan of the format, but I just wish there was an easy shortcut to the forums and not directly to the news. It’s a small convenience thing, but it would make my constant bouncing from forum to forum a lot nicer.

From what I understand, Zellion mentioned that FTL travel, and space travel, for that matter, was a relatively recent thing. Now, we don’t know for sure how long he’s lived, so recently could mean dozens of years, but probably means at least a century or two. This is definitely much further ahead than we have seen before, other than maybe Sixth of Dusk, which seems to be taking place around the same time as this book. so my guess would be that Cantacle certainly wasn’t established much more than a thousand years ago, but likely something between 500 and 700 years ago. now that does beg the question: how old is Zellion at this point?

Hello to the one person that might remember or care about these (that one person is me)! Here’s my latest brew. The Mouth of Hades

Sorry, are you trying to answer the question “would human and Koloss romance short story be lore accurate?” Or the less wholesome “Are Scadrian monsterfrickers in luck?” If so, this is the exact type of thing that I expect from Sanderfans. Vast intellectual theorizing on the scope of the Cosmere on one end, and sharddildos on the other.

And by the way, at this point, the thread is open to all to contribute a combo if they want. I’d advise against repeating combos, and I’d encourage you to make the combo random, but in the end, it is all your call. The point of this thread is to make people think about Twinborn combos that don’t get enough attention, and so if that’s what you end up doing, go right on ahead!

I appear to have been summoned. ooh Hemalurgy! I’m a big fan of the possible shenanigans, especially when it has to do with non-metallic arts related transfers. Like—H-Chromium theoretically steals destiny??? There was a post way back when about theoretical hemalugic constricts like Koloss, but with different spikes, and that idea always appears in my head whenever I think of the potential of Hemalurgy.

Oh no worries at all! This question is still very much relevant in the Shard, and so long as it’s relevant, I’m happy to see more interaction with it. I like to see my titles go up, but I mostly care more about people that I’ve seen around the Shard that seem to really care about this. Now, generally, that leads to them getting a higher rank, but not always. However, I can’t help but look upon someone like Voidus with quiet awe at their majesty. as to the contributor or winning the day, I’d honestly love to know how that system works, as even some of the Shards admins have no clue how it’s decided. It makes me happy when I see it, and that’s good enough for me.

Well, don’t count me beck just yet! I am still a busy bee, and haven’t quite regained my spark for theorizing. Expect me to maybe be around, but more like once a week than thrice a day. I should be back in full near the end of the year and onwards, though!

Hmmmmmm. This is an interesting question. I think their spiritual aspect would have to be significantly altered through using the two to create a resonance. So if they became a savant, and used both quite a bit, then I think a resonance could be formed.

Of course!! Abs it’s only inactive til we post on it! I haven’t been posting that much because I have sadly had too few gay stories to tell as of late :(.
