[X] My Assistant

Farmed FSM RoB 11 times (first time on Hard, 10 others on Nightmare), shrined one Appendage to celebrate, got Exquisite Estoc of the Vampire.
Also named my last 2 created monsters a few days ago, so I currently have all 10 of my monsters active.

tip: shrine value of noodlies is, on average, much less than sales price. You'd get better equipment by selling all your noodly appendage for 33k each, and then use the credits to buy good equipment.

Yeah, should've known better, but I couldn't prevent myself from offering at least one to test my luck... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Speedstar 024 dropped [Superior Cotton Pants of the Demon-fiend]
Shadowcat039 dropped [Superior Cotton Pants of the Demon-fiend]
A bit of a small thing, but I got two of the same equip off a single RE. Bad drops, but a bit neat.

Continuing the observations (Gift Factor 238% vs 105%):

Monster __1: Mechanoid / PL 1242 / Gift Factor 238% / Battles Won: 7 / Killing Blows: 3 / Total Gifts: 43 / Gift Times: 12 [(1x) 2 gifts + (6x) 3 gifts + (3x) 4 gifts + (1x) 5 gifts + (1x) 6 gifts]
Monster __2: Dragonkin / PL 1242 / Gift Factor 238% / Battles Won: 5 / Killing Blows: 0 / Total Gifts: 34 / Gift Times: 11 [(2x) 2 gifts + (8x) 3 gifts + (1x) 6 gifts]
Monster __3: Celestial / PL 1242 / Gift Factor 238% / Battles Won: 10 / Killing Blows: 1 / Total Gifts: 42 / Gift Times: 12 [(7x) 3 gifts + (4x) 4 gifts + (1x) 5 gifts]
Monster 100: Undead / PL 1242 / Gift Factor 105% / Battles Won: 2 / Killing Blows: 0 / Total Gifts: 11 / Gift Times: 10 [(9x) 1 gift + (1x) 2 gifts]

This time things were pretty weak. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) February is the shortest month, in addition to being the month of carnival. I think my monsters were not in the mood to work. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) As they say in my country: the year only really starts after carnival. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I hope that my monsters start taking their work more seriously from now on. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Why does your Celestial always win so often but can't get killing blows? And why does Mechanoid get so many killing blows?

My Celestial wins fairly often as well but also gets a lot of killing blows.

Dunno what your problem is, cuz' my own celestials have a sky-high win/killing ratio.

Funded my wallets a bit more as he was crying... Mage is expensive!

However, I've gathered all parts and becoming a speedy mage now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)



A mage must have DD6, you said.

Hath Perk Dæmon Duality VI Activated!

So here it is, with most gears forged, and with two god-tier max forged staff, I think I can pass the mage survival test anytime now.




Side: A little disappointed in the previous auction but whatever, I'm happy that people get things they want for cheap. (the most disappointing one: saw other 90% slaughter boots -> 7M, but my 90% slaughter armor MAX forged Jug 5 -> 8M, not even covering the forging cost...)

Answer: entirely down to luck. These are relatively low PL monsters not seeing that many battles, and not getting many wins, therefore conclusions from their relatively minimal data are extremely shaky. There is generally no correlation between monster type and results at this level.

You are comparing different slots in a relatively small market (in fact, I suspect your armor will be salvaged...)

I think part of the problem is that you put a lot of things all in the same auction.

There where so many thing (and all above level 400) that buyers where not forced to compete too much for the same items.

Anyway, I'm glad you're happy for people getting things cheap, since I got two of your power armors for 50k each (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm still waiting for them to be sent thou', Super scripts must have had some glitch 'cause I got only the materials, so if he sent them back to you in error, DON'T DO ANYTHING PLEASE !!! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

You're right, at the very least I cleared out a lot of stuff at the same time. I'm running out of space with 1000+400 equip storage.


And, I didn't find your name on anything besides materials though.

hmm ... something strange is happening. If I look at the auction post now, I see Hemorrhoid as winner.

However, if he used proxy bidding in the last 15 minutes, why I have accessed AND LOGGED the auction page after it was already closed, and it marked me as winner without any other bidding / extension ?

I'm wondering now if the leap day of 29 feb. may have had some effect on the scripts ?? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Why do I win junk every time I forget to opt out from the main prize (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

The script froze due to char limit, snipers gained stealth ability that way. Thanks to that i got a cheap mithril piece.

Went full mithril yay.

Glad for you.

But if so, no one could see the bids placed by proxy bidders after the script froze. (nor for many hours after too)

Hardly a regular auction, I'd say ... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Level 498. Not much longer now!

Some of it that froze, not all.
Its function which editing the thread froze, might be the time extension too.

Bugs were caused by char limit, that explains better.

The zircon armor selling for that cheap blows bad. I did see it and considered buying it for myself, but I already have an equally good armor that I would not replace. I would have salvaged that armor but I would have bought it back. I left it alone in the hopes that whoever bought it would use it as is, soulfuse or not.

mouisaac should probably have set a start bid of 23m or whatever the forge cost was. That would ensure that whoever buys it does not salvage it. By the way when did he get PSWD, I guess it was a self drop? I would offer but I don't think I have enough credits.

I don't agree it's fully down to luck. Sure there is a ton of random variance, but at this point some of us have lived long enough that patterns can emerge, especially Basara whose monsters are not that low PL.

I believe Celestials and certain monster species do tend to get more wins than others, and also a higher kill-to-win ratio, at least if their stats are raised in certain ways. In practice someone just needs to live a while though before this pattern can be established solidly, say at least a year or two.

The monster PL where there is minimal correlation between species and results is probably below 200 or 400 because at that point the monsters haven't learned all their special attacks.

No kidding, I put the *start price* for them except I forgot to put the word 'START' in the MMs. So it's entirely my own fault, but I really thought it will at least reach 2/3 of its true value + forge value.

It comes from the shrine. No one seems to want it badly, so I haven't decided what to do with it yet. I've been holding on to it for a week now and you might see it appears in every week's auction from now on (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Ty for cheap armors, mouisaac <3
Maybe I won't die to mobs once I soulfuse them :x

You can disagree all you like - but my experience with >20 full chaos, high PL monsters suggests there's very little difference between them even comparing two 2250s. (At which point the giant gets marginally more wins than the sprite.) At this point some of us have lived long enough to have monster labs that can provide large-scale, relevant data and actually observe it ourselves...

The problem is, monsters lower than 1300 just aren't showing up regularly in high level battles - in fact, below 1500, their chances of ever being seen are abysmally low. With the majority of grinding being done by level 400+ players on PFUDOR, you will rarely ever see anything lower than PL1500.

The win rates come down to how many battles they appear in, and when the battle rate is low, luck.
