Elemental Charges

Recently I've been able to trigger elemental charges on this weapon, can anyone else confirm/deny this? Or is it more of a case of the game telling you it's charged when it in fact does nothing?

I'm not sure if it works, but I can second this, I also get charge messages for Merlin's Shyllien Mana Knuckles. (I also just tested with regular Shyllien Mana Knuckles, they do not give charge messages.)

My regular shyllien mana knuckles are giving charge messages.

I'm still not getting messages from my regular Shylliens. Where'd you get yours? Mine were from the login event.

Tested, my Merlin Type 1s still give the charge message, I don't have Type 2s to test with.

No idea where mine are from. My log in event ones died long ago, and I just bought a new pair from someone else. My log in ones also did charge messages if I recall. They look like the special colored ones, as far as I can tell. My friend says his log in event ones still get charging messages.

I have the new ones (35 max) and I got the 1st ice charge message while icebolting rats, but not any other messages after that.

Tested the type 2's (the 35 max ones Shroom used) and got 3rd message on Brown Mountain Sheep today, seems that this might be an intended patch rather than a glitch, anyone able to confirm this for the type 1's?

My type 1's have always been chargeable. I don't know if that is useful for them though.

Quite useful, you can use it to get some extra damage on magic of that type, so that makes them a bit more useful than they seem!

*points to the Magic Damage formula*

At level 3, you get a 0.15 bonus to one of the multipliers on the bolt spell related to the element. Unfortunately, it's only bolts...
