I have been working on sorting out the order in which different metals add elemental damage. It appears that they each do it in a specific order. I have tested it enough that I am pretty comfortable that this is how it works. Please let me know if you see anything different:
Copper: 20 Energy and then
10 PoisonAgapite: 30 Cold and then
20 EnergyValorite: 20 Cold ,
20 Energy ,
10 Fire ,
10 Poison Verite: 20 Energy then
40 Poison The single category enhance metals are as follows:
Bronze: 40 Fire Shadow: 20 Cold Of course instead of testing it myself I could have just found this information on Stratics, but where is the fun in that.
http://vboards.stratics.com/showthread.php?t=62865&highlight=enhance Basra on stratics mentions a rumor that there have sometimes been exceptions to the standard order (Cold, Energy, Fire, Poison) and states that EA has denied that this is the case. I can verify that it does (or at least has) happen. I imbued a 90% dagger some time ago with copper and it became 100% poison.
