It would be rather evil if posts in the spam section would not count towards XP gain :3.

Could have saved myself hours of grinding *rages*...but I guess I found some gears while I did extra grinds..

This place is the best and easiest place to push your post count up without annoying everyone or needing to be creative.

The EH Calculator is explained and linked to here.

Is this somewhere on wiki? if not, it should be (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

This may have already been mentioned somewhere but i have probably missed it.
How exactly the new training skills work?

I understand Scavenger and Luck of the draw, but not that sure about Quartermaster and Archeologist.
Do these two further increase drop chance for Equipment and artifact?
Or is it like- Scavenger increases chance for a drop, and Quartermaster and Archeologist increase the probability that the drop will be Equipment or artifact?

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed a significant increase in monster damage?

I noticed the same thing. What's worse is they now seem to take a lot less damage from my magic. I was pretty disappointed with Meteor when I tried it out, because I thought it was only doing about the same as Inferno... until I discovered Inferno is now doing bugger all.

And spirit attack also seem s to be halved. 2 days ago i could kill Zombie cow with the blast, now it takes only half of its HP.
What a let down.

Well, Spirit has always been quite variable, so let's hope that was just a one-off. But there is a magic damage roll in there, so it could be related.

Just wandering but since the last update has anybody been noticing an insane amount of magic resists. I mean i'm a primary caster an i cast my thunderstorm on mobs that i might ad say there elec weak and they resist it outright an takes me like 3 tries to get it to land on anything in the fight even though its an AOE its still get s resisted by almost every mob in the fight. At minimum every cast i get a resist. didn't used to be like this. and my int/wis is above my level so that shouldn't be the issue.

This too.

Are you sure about that? It looks to me like it's a straight "number of posts in last 24 hours". So this post (my first for over a day) should immediately raise the EXP gain from my next battle.

I still have yet to receive an equipment drop, I just don't have any luck. Must be because I'm already dead. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It doesn't seem to have affected my luck. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

QM and Archeo affect base drop chance, which is the chance that, when the roll for what type of loot comes up, the chance of getting an equip/artifact is increased. It gets an increase of x% of that chance. For example, you just cleared an Arena which has a 10% chance of equip drop. If you have all 50 QMs trained (+100% base, so base+QM), the chance to get an equip goes to 20%. At least, that's my understanding from the wording and various mentions of what exactly it does.

While your calculation is correct, I think it was never stated nor confirmed that QM improves the drop chance for arena rolls; all previous statements and discussions were concerned with monster drops.

It was just an example for example's sake. I could have gone with the old "LOL, assume mobs have a 1% equip drop chance" and it still would have been the same.

So... in this week-end we obtain less exp from everything and stronger monsters?

Nice. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

You forgot that we also miss gaining a hell of a lot of credits (some more than others). Who knows, maybe Tenboro will have the next update by next month or sooner!

At least you're high-leveled, so you may have better abilities and such.

Only Silence, atm.

Yes, but everyone got amazingly stronger with 0.3.2.

I guess this was an all around nerf patch, with more reliance on proficiencies.

pretty big nerf patch it is (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif). I actually getting more exp and credit in cake now than i do in normal since i cant even get higher than round 10 in normal.

How come the cost of all my spells keeps gradually increasing?

Spell cost is tied to your level.

Oohh I sense new version of HV soon.

Snowflake is making her bed. Check back later.

Expect the HV 0.3.4 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Come on throphy functionality. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I only have about 120 dusting up my collection.

Come on artifacts.

Expect the HV 0.3.4 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Oh. Is that what it is.

I thought I was glitched or got blocked for grinding too long. That scared me. >_>

That was short. I guess it wasn't an update after all.

Edit: Oh wait, battle hotkeys? Arena payout got halved?!

Ohh looks like token of blood is to use to kill true legendaries.
