Misc crafting Q's.

What time will we be able to start crafting it? I know it's after the Rift pre-purchase, but will there be an exact time?

How will we find out how to craft it? Will TF2 wiki just know automagically? or will everyone have to find out?

Lastly, What do you guys think we will have to use to craft it? my best guess is an axtinguisher and some metal..... (like two reclaimed, or maybe even a refined!)

Stats

Actually, if you go to tf2items Item list (http://www.tf2items.com/allitems.php), they are NOT the same as the Axtinguisher. You may want to change that.Borg184 00:02, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Droppable?

This seems like a rather must-have item for it to be only available by pre-ordering a $50 game which costs $15/mo. Are we sure that it won't drop or be craftable? I don't think any other promotional items have been obtainable outside of the promotion, right? Pez 00:15, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

We don't know yet. —Moussekateer·talk 00:16, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

I'd think it'd almost have to be seeing as it has unique stats. But who knows. Sage J. Fox 00:19, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

We have our answer. —Moussekateer·talk 00:20, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Nice, thanks. Pez 03:39, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

The promo item loses its genuine quality when you trade it so it will be same value as one that you can craft later on, unfortunatly. Turtlebolt 06:12, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Not true, read the sitenotice at the top of the site. —Moussekateer·talk 06:13, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out i read on a different page that you would lose the genuine quality which seemed silly in the first place. Turtlebolt 06:23, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Eternal flames?

I've tested this weapon out, and when I hit anyone, the afterburn seems to last forever. I even tested this out on a Heavy, and it went for over 40 seconds before he died from it. Is there an actual end to this afterburn (aside from the other options of getting rid of it, such as Medkits, Medics, etc), or is it just really long? AbeX300 00:41, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

• Seems to be a bug at the moment. Jenkson 02:16, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
• Maybe it was meant to be that way? You do get them by buying a $50 game... Vetterlinj 03:40, 4 February 2011 (UTC)Vetterlinj
• But then you are able to craft it sometime during the pre-order period. AbeX300 03:51, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
• But maybe its only with Genuine? why not make them Vintage? Why create a whole new title?Vetterlinj 04:12, 4 February 2011 (UTC)Vetterlinj

Well before Genuine was added, there were 3 unused qualities, Genuine being the former rarity2. Obviously Valve decided to finally put one of the 3 into use. I'm starting to wonder if all promotional items will gain Genuine quality. 404 User Not Found 16:29, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Are we for sure its a "Bug"?

After all, the description does say "On Hit: target is engulfed in flames" instead of "On Hit: target is ignited".

I believe this was an intentional feature of the axe, given that it is made from lava and does not spew/cause fire like the Flamethrower(s)/Flare Gun so much as just giving the target a very, very bad burn. --KajiVena of TheVille 20:33, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

It's most likely a bug. -- En Ex _(talk) 20:37, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

It may be Valve experimenting with ways of increasing Fire's potential and letting the Pyro rely on Afterburn more. --KajiVena of TheVille 20:44, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

An infinite afterburn, with no ways to be extinguished by friendly Engies/Medics sounds a lot like a bug to me. Besides, Valve has the public Beta to test such things.--Kid Of The Century 10:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Why is my trivia deleted?

I made a trivia edit saying that the ends of the weapon glow in the dark, which I thought would be trivia material. Now, it's gone. What happened? Is it not trivial enough?

Jenkson 19:11, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Some idiot edited it down to practically nothing, and since his work was sup-par at best and nobody wanted to undo it, I just got rid of it. Honestly don't think it was needed anyways, we have a separate page for defining self-illuminated stuff. Sorry about that. :/ -- Henry Spencer 19:14, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Well this 'idiot' did not see the point of a big long list of things that glowed in the first place, especially since the category was on the page anyway. My wiki cap laughs at your 'sub-par' jibe and quite frankly I don't care if people wanted to undo it or not. So suck up and tough up, sweetie. :)--Focusknock 19:21, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Someone else (i.e. not you) edited his stuff out, and instead of reverting it, I just took the rest off. His name isn't showing up on the list, for some reason, but I appreciate you waving your ego around. :) -- Henry Spencer 19:48, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

FYI, Wiki cap =/= ego. It's proof that I'm good at editing this wiki, which is what I was trying to say in rebuttal to your comment. Nice to see you taking a 'them and us' approach to wiki caps, though. Maybe you're just jelly, as they say?--Focusknock 19:43, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm afraid that your trivia fell into "X of Y" category.--Kid Of The Century 19:24, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry but what is "X of Y" trivia anyways? Smashbrother101 23:52, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Here are the trivia guidelines. X of Y means: "This is the first X to ...", "This is the only X to..." or "This is one of N Xs to...". -- En Ex _(talk) 23:54, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Ah I see! Well that was helpful (very debatable, but helpful). Smashbrother101 23:59, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Afterburn (bugs)

Isn't it that all burn/afterburn kills display as melee kills (whatever melee weapon you are using)? As it is now it says that the primary weapon is shown. Which is not the case as far as I know.

Name Color

As far as I know, the name of the genuine item displays in an olive green color and not black. Does anyone have an updated image for the page? --Smashdaisaku 00:23, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Ctrl-F5 the page a few times, it's a cache thing. —Moussekateer·talk 00:25, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Only extinguished by...?

Currently it says: "The afterburn caused by this weapon lasts for an extended period of time and is not extinguished by extensive healing from a Medic or a friendly Dispenser. Currently, only Health kits, thrown Sandviches and Buffalo Steak Sandviches, the Medi Gun's ÜberCharge, and Resupply Cabinets can extinguish the fire. " But what about water and airblasts? They both have the ability to extinguish normal fire, but they should be listed in either the cannot or the can list. It might seem to obvious that they can do it, but Huntsman arrows also burn underwater, so if someone could test it, cause I have no idea how weapon editing works... PredatorDuck 15:17, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Since the weapon is quite rare most of us cannot test it properly. I asked Shugo if he could do te test; he said yes but no news so far. I suppose the best thing is to wait until it's craftable (I still believe its current behavior is bugged though).--Kid Of The Century 17:45, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

I also think it's a bug, but to remain on topic, thanks for asking him, I hope he can reply soon. PredatorDuck 21:36, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Afterburn damage?

It might be a good idea to test out whether or not the Degreaser affects the afterburn damage of this weapon, whenever someone has time and the weapon. -Tribor 22:35, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Does the deagrease affect the afterburn of the flare gun? If no, then It would not affect this I would think. Freq. 04:05, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
