Random Encounter with a boss in it
Is this a thing now?

They're rather rare but they do appear every once in a while in REs, also in IWs and possibly GFs too. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

You gain the effect Protection.
Spawned Monster H: MID=87905 (Loliloli-love) LV=424 HP=107646
Spawned Monster G: MID=23 (Yuki Nagato) LV=424 HP=1561859
Spawned Monster F: MID=149468 (Speedstar Disappeared) LV=424 HP=131177
Spawned Monster E: MID=104477 (Fiery Redwood Staff) LV=424 HP=123024
Spawned Monster D: MID=87879 (Dragon998) LV=424 HP=149916
Spawned Monster C: MID=35173 (Sushilicious) LV=424 HP=120822
Spawned Monster B: MID=77665 (Jarany) LV=424 HP=119136
Spawned Monster A: MID=89872 (Nerfthis) LV=424 HP=117516
Initializing random encounter ...

I am right now for the second appearance of RE Nagato.
If it is rare, it has appeared many times.
As expected, there is no appearance of GOD class or higher, right?

BTW, for what i know Dampening is the better suffix for a Force Shield.

Yes: Dampening > Deflection >>>> Protection = Warding >>> Stoneskin for shields.
Zircon is still the best prefix, but Amber and Cobalt are close seconds.
Worse is Jade, followed by Onyx, iirc.

I just removed my Video Card Drivers from PC becuse they gone kaboom and my graphic card was not working correctly (the drivers got resetted each 5 minutes).

With only standard video drivers all is perfect as before.

Let me guess, shitdows 10 updated everything on its own and bugged half the hardware (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Yep, only schoolgirls and below.

I'd really like to see Boss monster much more often on higher levels.

...

Also, i always tought that IW and GF need to have a t least one of the highest boss on the last round (Real Life and Invisible Pink Unicorn for IW, even Flying Spaghetti Monster for GF... and sometime you get Triple Trio at the end of a GF, maybe without the Tree or you cry).

First time ever that I do that one slip while processing an IW request. And it will be the last time too.
My life is shit. I am a disgrace and I shall punish myself examplarily.

There was this thing in Xenoblade Chronicles X where once in a while you could challenge 1 of 2 superbosses in a special event where the entire playerbase fought on their own for a limited time to kill it. But aside from HP bar it also had a global number of "lives" so if you had this access ticket to the fight you could continue playing for up to 8 minutes to see how many times you killed it and it decreased its lives counter for everyone. You got prizes depending on the number of kills on your own and also got extra prizes if the global lives counter got to zero. The bosses had extra attacks to debuff you, reflect your attacks from certain elements or simply deal lots of damage so if you didn't have antireflect for your element you had to use other elements to even hit it, use other attacks or flee (while still getting rewards).

I personally think it would be more fun to have something like that rather than making long modes even longer with the same ole bosses, and it would include everyone from all styles and all levels as the weak ones only need to kill once to contribute and get rewards while the heavy grinders with top gear would be able to go wild with damage without a worry while also making abilities like Drain, Sleep, etc more useful. Maybe giving it great magical resistance so mages are forced to go melee, or big magic attacks to make 1H very vulnerable, ultra piercing to one shot light armor users, etc. I guess at that point getting a legendary of any kind would feel like a big asset rather than just bazaar trash...at least for a while. Sort of like a special Ring of Blood I guess.

Now that I think about it carefully it sounds expensive, so trash the idea (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) but yeah don't know if it would be appreciated to have tanky bosses on those modes.

Is this the one where you press "S" instead of "R"? One of my biggest fears (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I don't press a key, but yes that's exactly that. I've always been extremely careful, and always feared that I'd do it accidentally out of tiredness, and it did happen this time. Next time I'll equip the thing in a set to make sure I cannot salvage it even when unlocked.

Noob mistake, really. I knew about that trick, but never thought about using it.

Damn, I just finished IWing an equipment I do care about so I actually feared this thing happening as I start zoning out after mere 4-6 rounds so thanks for the tip, I'll definitely keep it in mind for next time. Maybe this sacrifice will end up helping other equips to survive later down the road, who knows.

Slowly but steadily...
6 months of only turning stuff from lab to HVMarket and withdrawing mooglemails when I sell.
Resisting the temptation of buying anything. Not that I ever found an armor to replace mine yet, that is.
But most importantly, never lowering some prices and gifting stuff (BoS 63k? Actuators 34k? Did you mistake me for Santa Claus or what? ...wait...oh. I am Santa Claus... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) at the cost of seeing my profit go lower and lower in the last months to be specific.
The days where Fox, Owl and Cheetah sold for 47-49k each and Destruction sold for 67-68k are over I guess...
I gained half of those in 1/3 of the time, and the last half in the remaining 2/3



I am 1/3 of the way of getting another GS, and I need two of them to get any bonus income... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)


edit: oh and, since I switched browsers in january I never got the localstorage bug ever again (fucking Chrome, lol) so my lab log never resetted.
Here ya go:

88 monsters: 1 PL1698, 1 PL1104, 2 PL810, 4 PL687, 1 PL543, 13 PL483, 66 PL285
38.5 gifts/day on average...less than 1 gift every 2 monsters per day...

to all that use IW services: Accidents can happen, but some are easily prevented. Not by human action but by script, fail proof. IW services can run HV Utils, even if they don't like it. Because that script protects good items, locked or unlocked, equipped or not equipped. So you can't forget. Takes out the weakest link, the one behind the keyboard. My tip: ask the IW service provider if he/she uses HV Utils before you send your equipment.

I want to know where there is a function to reforge without unlocking an equipment.

It has to be unlocked, but you can reforge equipment from the Item World selection screen rather than having to go to the forge, so it does at least eliminate the tired-wrong-selection problem. It also auto-locks filtered equipment (by default, legendaries, peerlesses, and certain mags) whenever you go to the equipment shop, so you'd have to re-unlock it there to be able to accidentally salvage or sell.

Therefore the risk is not non-existant. I also don't see my IW10 items in Item World, which forces me to go to the salvage reforge menu. Equipments don't relock straight after unlocking, and I've been able to salvage "by accident" something. Because that's exactly how we do in vanilla: go to reforge, unlock, reforge, lock.

I'd say that a script that gives the illusion of safety makes the danger even more... dangerous, since one won't be as careful. Yes you'll probably be less likely to do an error, mostly under IW10, but the zero risk doesn't exist. So I'd kindly appreciate if people did not make it sound like if it were the case.

The only true safety is the game being unable to salvage equipped items: it doesn't even appear in the Salvage menu, while it does appear in the Reforge menu. I knew about it, but never had the reflex to do it.

I'm saying all this because I don't appreciate the "HV Utils this", "HV Utils that" preaching hegemony. It's just as detestable as the "play rapier+force+power of slaughter" preaching we used to have. I don't deny that that script is able to do lots of things, but you guys should remain neutral and not stigmatize those who don't like it. Not to mention that as handy as it can be for various purpose, it is not magical and even less void of serious flaws. Flaws that are the reason why I dislike it BTW.

You should even less be pointing your fingers at those who offer IW service and who don't use HV Utils. That's not because one doesn't use a given script that the service is not high-quality. I've taken my responsibilities by doing a very generous offer to make up for the accident, and I'm out of that annoying bullshit IW business now. I'll keep the "victim" in my inventory as a souvenir.

I want to know where there is a function to reforge without unlocking an equipment.

there isn't, but how it works is like this:
1. From the IW menu, click the unlock button
2. From the IW menu, click the refurge button
Please note that at this moment, the item is unlocked, and you are on the IW menu.
On this menu, there is no way to salvage or sell.
So, you'd have to go to another page: either the forge or the equipment shop. So that's the next step (illogical, but okay)
3a. When you go to the equipment shop, the item will be locked by the script. You press 'sell all' and that IW item is not sold.
3b. When you got to the salvage page, there is all kinds of warnings there. You would have to select the item, and then click 'salvage', ignoring all warnings. This page does not even look the same as the reforge page in HV Utils. And, you would not need to go to the reforge page or the salvage page anyway. Because salvage you can do easily from the equipment shop page, and reforge from the IW page.
3c. You stay on IW page, with item unlocked, and select the item. Then, pressing 's' or 'r' on the IW menu does nothing. Even when the item is unlocked. You will still have the item. You need to press the 'reforge' button. There is no salvage button.

So the function to reforge without unlocking is not needed. You can even safely leave the item unlocked on the IW menu.


Decon, I am not trying to diss you here. Not trying to offend you, or blame you for not using a script. I am just giving a useful tip to protect players who use IW services.

And, if another script would have prevented accidental salvage as well, I would have mentioned that script as well. But at this moment, it's just HV Utils that prevents that completely. No other script that I know of does that.

This part does not work for me. Should it?

maybe it doesn't do that, I may be mistaken. But still, you would have to got to the salvage menu and there would be no reason to do so. Because reforge can be done from the IW menu, and salvage from the 'equipment shop' menu.

I'll adjust my previous post.

I did kind of understand it works like that. But you can't do that for an item that is IW10.
I'll stick to slot the equip in an equipment set. The reasons why I dislike loathe HV Utils and refuse to use it are numerous and perfectly legit.
