is the morning star rechargeable in this beta? or it is gonna be in another update?

[Cuernito.]

Sorry i dont know if this is in the beta now. Did anyone have any info about this? please

[namhai]

As of this moment, morning star can be recharged when moongleams spark near them, similar to the astroggles so to speak. In addition, from what I read from the codes, it also seems to be intended to recharge from lightning rods or generators like WX-78 (I could be wrong about the specific charging methods here though), but they are not implemented yet

Not sure if it was a bug or not, but I had an 84% morning star go to 100% inside a chest. It was a turf away from the lightning rod though.

yes for me

 

Not sure about Esplanado's situation but I could check in beta later. I could get morning stars in chests to recharge if a moongleam passes by (which should be a bug), not sure about the lightning rod.
Edit: Try setting lightning on myself while holding the weapon, setting lightning onto a rod with chests and backpacks of morning stars nearby, no recharging as far as I can see

Yeah, the component that I believe is used for charging at the lightning rods, "batteryuser", is commented out atm, unlike "moonsparkrechargable"

Yes. It wasn't a bug then. Since namhai mentioned it, I guess it was because of the moonstorm that happened at my base...

Moongleams could also recharge the morning stars your character is holding and in your inventory. It also recharges 25% each time a gleam shocks you

Charging from other sources seems to be planned from what I read in the codes, but it is not implemented in beta yet

Recharging Morning Star by Generator would make early-game Winona so much more fun! I do hope this change comes in this update!!

do you actually play the game? how a weapon that is as good and useful as the ice cube gonna turn op broken with just being rechargeable by a character special item? Lets not dream, the MS used to be really good in original DS serie but in DST it is a bad weapon, it only last 6 minuts and i dont think you are gonna be hitting the enemy every single second, and the mobs and bosses have a lot more health now, and it is really expensive to make... so no its not gonna suddenly turn op my friend, out of sprint is as strong as a spear, the only good part is the shock zap new mechanic but even with that it is still better to just use a hambat.

Winona could be the only character that can use the MS outside of spring and turn it into a decent choice(instead of a mediocre weapon) if klei make it rechargeable by generators, this is cause catapults are usually slow and winona doesnt need to be the main dps, the catapults can do the damage while winona control the movement of the bosses or mobs using the MS to indirectly improve the aim of the catapults.

everyone will just switch to winona build the generator and switch back , duh we all know whats gonna happen and u do know why so lets not pretend like we are newbies ok? , all it takes is 1 switch and have this wep that deals 70+ dmg on wet targets unlimited, hambat is unlimted but has a timer , morning star is gonna be even more broken by doing this thats why i prefer it being recharged using a charged lightning rod , at least this way u wait for lightning which only happen in spring most of the time, or moonstorm event

 

u talking abt winona late game is funny , we all js gonna switch to her early game n switch back looool hell nah i dont support character swap abusing

I heard that items can be recharged when struck by lightning, whether placed on the ground or held. But the feature isn’t fully implemented yet. Maybe Klei will add it in the New Year’s update along with other things?
