Ivory Weapon effect 35% off - 45 points.

I believe that this one is a fine choice if you would like to portray "cold" on your weapon, but find the "Arctic" effect rather overdone. I think "Ivory" should be considered one of your staple options if you prefer understated to overblown fx, and the fact that it's a fraction of the price of it's bigger, louder cousin is just an added bonus. Hint: it looks much better in-game than in the preview IMO...I think there's quite a bit more "smoke" in the genuine article.

Now, about those Ivory footprints....

This is really great feedback! Do you know of any other microtransactions that are like this for other glaring elemental weapon effects?

Thanks!
Sadly, no: if you want any other elemental effect in Wraeclast, you have to go Blowtorch, Tesla Coil or Big Glow Snow (future; assuming it'll be in line with Lightning and Infernal pricing). Some have said that "Radiant" looks rather like a Lightning effect, but I don't agree. I will say that "Acid" works nicely (at a bargain price to boot) if your character employs chaos damage. Add those cool (and cheap) necrotic footprints to complete your bargain basement ensemble. I think that "Lavender" and "Azure" give a nice return on your investment for a general "Magical" look. "Arcane" is a decent upgrade as a "Magical" look when it's on sale, but like our friends the Awesome New Auras, the detail in the runes is all but lost when viewed at full zoom (AKA pretty much all the time).

Hopefully GGG will tone down some of these new weapon effects and offer them at a lower price; heck, throw some red and orange glow into the "Ebony" effect and call it "Smouldering Blade". I love the concept of an elemental effect, but the high price and rather garish (IMO, anyway) look are keeping me away at the moment.

Ethereal Stars effect 42% off - 20 points.

These go down to 66% - 15 points, come on Chris :(

Radiant Weapon effect 41% off - 90 points.

It´s a long time that green basilisk has been on sale. "wink_wink" to GGG :))))

Silver Wings helmet effect 40% off - 45 points.

This is on sale fairly frequently and does not match up to other, equivalently-priced microtransaction effects.

I bought the Silver Wings but i think it will looks awful with the Bringer of Rain anybody know?

They look decent, would definitely be better on a Marauder or other class. I personally only purchased them for my Phys Wander though.

Thanks looks not so bad..

Arctic Footprints effect 34% off - 115 points.

As part of my hope-this-gets-implemented-but-don't-know-if-GGG-reads-this-thread *pause for breath* I would like to see certain Daily Deal effects be available to try before you buy. Arctic Footprints look cool in theory, but in practice I have no idea.

Pass; still waiting for Ivory footprints for my "cold" character...to better match his weapon. Odd that they're not out there yet.
