[X] My Assistant

no luck for me as well.

i'm not complaining about not getting everything mages do to stay alive, i'm only complaining about not being able to keep the 2 things i'd need during a fight with a legendary

I've beat Konata without silence or weaken using only what's available in-game. And the only thing special about me is that I have an infinite supply of rare consumables. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

and i'm betting those are the hardest to find and most people will likely never be able to get them?

Not particularly, you just have to look for them. There's nothing special about interference that makes it any rarer than any other stat.

let's make a trade

I don't trade (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and it wouldn't make any sense anyway. There are tradeoffs to wearing heavy armor. This is one. Wearing heavy armor already gives you huge defensive bonuses, adding weaken on top of that would be extremely OP.

silence really only has 2 uses anyways:
turn off toddler guro
turn off 1hko's

Know what else turns off one-hit skills? Spark and/or Absorb. Learn to use them.

Tenboro is in a fightin' mood.

Know what else turns off one-hit skills? Spark and/or Absorb. Learn to use them.

I would use them if I didn't have to take out a loan to train a single point. Plus they are both only useful or even needed against legendaries, and they would still be crap for myself since I have low supportive proficiency.

And can I trade my nearly worthless 120+ pieces of equipment for one of these fabled battlecaster armors? I pretty much have a full set of exquisite and superior heavy armors, but they don't work with my current setup thanks to the massive interferrence and burden. I hope that battlecaster stuff is low burden too, or else it would be pointless to use.

now do that with only 12 and w/o silence and weaken
and no bubble-gum allowed (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
<edit: was this defeat before or after monsters started to regen?>

just silence then (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Know what else turns off one-hit skills? Spark and/or Absorb. Learn to use them.

don't those deactivate as soon as they are needed?

absorb = 28 turns left
1 5 The hostile spell is drained. You gain 0 Magic Points.
1 4 Scary Ghost casts Haunt
absorb gone

silence lasts for 24 turns, can be told what monsters attacks to block, and works however many times the monster decides to use a spell
absorb will die as soon as any monster uses magic

don't have SoL, so i'll use a scroll
SoL last for 15 turns, and activates as soon as you are about to die, saving you, and healing you some

2 8 Your Spark of Life restores you from the brink of defeat.
2 7 Kick hits you for 121 piercing damage.
2 6 Cockatrice uses Kick
2 5 You parry the attack from Giant Panda.
2 4 Peck hits you for 387 piercing damage.
2 3 Mutant Peacock uses Peck
2 2 Your attack procs the effect Penetrated Armor on Mutant Peacock.
2 1 You hit Mutant Peacock for 616 soul damage.
1 2 Scroll of Life procs the effect Spark of Life on yourself.
1 1 You use Scroll of Life

SoL disappears as soon as it activates, leaving you completely open for the next 1hko (unless you recast)

Actually I did it with 8, by infinite I mean in the normal inventory. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yup.

ITYM "Grindfest Max".

ITYM "Grindfest Max".

That just brings me terrible DDR flashbacks.

I just found an [Average Silver-Tipped Katalox Staff of the Owl] on Cake Grindfest.

It doesn't seem special, except for the "Katalox" in it's name--I've never seen another kstaff.
It seems to be why it's worth so much... It'll sell for 2.5k, which is a lot for a LV32 staff.
I don't use staves; should I simply sell it, or are there any special, hidden details I'd want to know?

All the details you'll ever need: (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


Common Name(s): Katalox, Wamara, Bannia

Scientific Name: Swartzia spp. (S. bannia, S. benthamiana, S. cubensis, etc.)

Distribution: Southern Mexico, Central America, and northern South America

Tree Size: 100-130 ft (30-40 m) tall, 2-4 ft (.6-1.2 m) trunk diameter

Average Dried Weight: 69 lbs/ft3 (1,110 kg/m3)

Basic Specific Gravity: .93

Hardness: 3,510 lbf (15,620 N)

Bending Strength: 28,330 lbf/in2 (195,400 kPa)

Elasticity: 3,360,000 lbf/in2 (23,170 MPa)

Shrinkage: Radial: 3.9%, Tangential: 7.6%, Volumetric: 11.2%, T/R Ratio: 1.9

Color/Appearance: Heartwood is a very dark brown to nearly black: sometimes with a red or purple hue. Sapwood is sharply demarcated and is a pale yellowish white.

(IMG:[www.wood-database.com] http://www.wood-database.com/wp-content/uploads/katalox.jpg)

Grain/Pore: Has very fine pores and a fine texture. The grain is usually straight, but can also be irregular or interlocked. A curly or wavy grain pattern is sometimes seen as well.

Durability: Varies depending upon species, with conflicting reports ranging from perishable to very durable. Heartwood is usually considered to have a high resistance to decay and termites; though it is susceptible to marine borers.

Workability: Katalox is typically considered difficult to work on account of its high density. The wood has a moderate to high blunting effect on cutters, and if there is interlocked grain present, tearout can occur during planing. Can be troublesome to glue because of its high density and natural oils present.

Smell: Katalox has a mild odor when being worked, somewhat similar to Honduran Rosewood.

Safety: Katalox has been reported to cause respiratory irritation in some individuals. See the articles Wood Allergies and Toxicity and Wood Dust Safety for more information.

Price Range: Likely to be somewhat expensive, on par with other exotic hardwoods such as Wenge or Cocobolo.

Comments: Katalox has exceptional strength properties, and is among the very stiffest and strongest lumber available worldwide. Its dark color makes it a popular substitute for ebony.

Some common uses for Katalox include: inlays, fine furniture and cabinetry, parquet flooring, turnings, and other small specialty items.


To summarise: If you're looking for the right wood to make a weapon for whacking monsters on the head with, Katalox, with its high stiffness and density, is an excellent, though expensive, choice.

lmao - that was a mouthful of information (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It's a quality type. Probably the best available if it sells for 2.5k on lvl 31. And read your pm's (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

To summarise: If you're looking for the right wood to make a weapon for whacking monsters on the head with, Katalox, with its high stiffness and density, is an excellent, though expensive, choice.

Also, the x makes it sound cool.
