New Hath Perks: Innate Arcana

The Innate Arcana series of hath perks unlocks a number of auto-cast slots that can be found below the quickcast slots on the settings page. These spells will be automatically cast during battle.

Each spell you add to auto-cast incurs an Upkeep which is subtracted every round the spell is active. The Upkeep is calculated as the cost of the spell divided by its duration - these calculations take your proficiency into account, and it should cost the same as casting them manually.

If your mana drops below 10%, the auto-cast spells will dissipate. They will be automatically recast when mana goes above 25% - or you can recast them manually, it will then take over when the manually-cast spell expires. (No upkeep is consumed when the manually cast version is in effect.)

Each level of Innate Arcana increases the number of slots by 1. The higher levels also decrease the total Upkeep cost for all spells.

Currently, the spells that can be set to auto-cast are: Shield, Barrier, Haste, and Shadow Veil. Others may be added in the future.

New Domain

- The HentaiVerse has moved off its old temporary hv.e-hentai.org subdomain to hentaiverse.org - this will make stuff faster, since your browser won't have to keep sending cookies that aren't related to the HentaiVerse.

In most cases, the system should log you on to the new domain automatically as long as you're logged on to anything on e-hentai.org, and all pages should be properly forwarded (if you're logged on, anyway).

- There is now a proper login page for the HentaiVerse.

Code optimizations

Shaved off precious microseconds by dumping a ton of previously inline CSS to an external stylesheet on certain shared and oft-accessed pages. This will especially have an effect on text-heavy pages when using the default HentaiVerse font engine.

(The equipment page I was testing it on was shaved from 820562 bytes of html to 514975, although the effect on actually transferred bytes is much smaller since it's compressed. The battle page footprint was roughly cut down by half.)

Misc

- Made some more tweaks to the equipment popups. It's also been altered to include two digits after the decimal point for decimal values. (So if you used to have 5.2 of something and now have 5.16 of something, you always had 5.16 of something, it was just rounded.)

- Equipment sorting should now be fixed. For reals this time. Note that it is still *different* - staffs and offhand now sort above armor. Then it sorts by slot, then by type, then by name.

- There is now an additional chance to gain shield proficiency whenever you block something.

- You can now only counter when blocking at most once every player turn.

- Battle errors caused by invalid actions and such are now also written to the battle log.

- Elemental rating mitigations are now added to the mitigations on the equipment stat readout.

- Removed crude drops from the healer reward table.

- The system should now send no-cache headers before anything else happens, so in the rare event of a failure, the browser won't cache a blank page.

- Some equipment suffix bonus ranges have been narrowed.

- Made some improvements to the downloadable fonts/custom fonts mode. Among other stuff, word-wrapped lines should no longer overlap with eachother.

- Increased the duration of Haste.

- Fixed buggy damage type for Infusion of Gaia

Yay!
The "wait and see" message was a little disturbing. I still can't picture what Snowflake looks like, and imagining it dancing with moogles was... weird.

Really nice update, thanks! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

LOL nevermind (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

coolbeans.

Is there are any chance to get damaging spells to be autocasted? Then mages could jusc click on Continue or gulp mana pots, and be completely free other time...

What spells one can stuff into Arcana autocast slots? Only supportive, or Cure can also be set up to work as Regen? And deprecating spells, or even damaging ones?

This.

Ignore.

- Fixed buggy damage type for Infusion of Gaia

Just out of curiosity, what was wrong with it?

Just out of curiosity, what was wrong with it?

It may have been that it was doing soul damage instead of Elemental damage, but I could be wrong.

It seems like the block chance of shields has gone down by around a percent point... What happened there? Were the block chances of shields considered too high? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

The auto spellcasting perks look pretty cool. I am however curious if the new number displays are responsible for upping burden/interference (only noticed it on weapons for sure) and lowering shield block rate slightly.

Why am I fighting monsters in the battle log box?

^ either the calculations for interference/burden is back to the old 0.4.1 days or somehow ? my greaves went from interference 18.1 -> 18.79 =(

nice patch and btw could regen be included for innate arcanna for next time? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
great work ^0^

Equipment stats have definitely been tweaked. Some things have gone up, some have come down.

I have the same problem, Monster are now shown below the battle log instead of being on the right side. And please don't tell me it's because i'm using OPERA (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'm glad this does not cost AP, but hath might be even worse...

more detail for weapon's value point, and all kind of weapons above armor now.
little surprise see my weapon's list change, but nice update (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Just out of curiosity, what was wrong with it?

The internal damage type was set as "soul" (which is nothing) instead of "none" (which is soul). (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Equipment stats have definitely been tweaked. Some things have gone up, some have come down.

Well.. they weren't supposed to (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) but adding another digit means that you can have +/- 0.05 from the old value.

I have the same problem, Monster are now shown below the battle log instead of being on the right side. And please don't tell me it's because i'm using OPERA (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Probably has something to do with the code optimization. Honestly, I only test this stuff in Firefox and Chrome.
