I can not, because I'm on the cell phone, when I'm not, I do what they recommended me to press the letter c to get the link and post it here.

By the way, I suppose it's a good idea to sell the aforementioned armor in the bazaar, is not it?

Ok, I was checking my equip inventory, and I found these pieces of heavy equipment, see any worthwhile for me to change from light to heavy armor?

Just keep in mind that when you change, it has to be a full set of armor. Otherwhise you wouldnt get the ability bonus for that armor.

I know, I used to bring heavy weapons since I was handling 2-handed weapons, but now that I'm with a shield and a sword, it does not look too efficient to bring heavy equipment.

Other way round - 1H players want to use heavy armour, while other melee styles traditionally use light.

This is for 2 reasons - 1H prefers to avoid evade, because an evaded attack is one that is not parried or blocked (which would trigger a counter-attack). It's also because heavy armour offers higher damage than light armour (power has better ADB than shade).

However, heavy armour is - weirdly enough - not as strong for survival as light armour (although it is more consistent). Because 2H, DW and Niten players don't have access to block, they need the evade from light armour to reduce damage.

An extremely highly forged DW player could use heavy armour (because with the ideal set of weapons, they can get extremely high parry) but 2H and Niten are at a disadvantage because their only source of parry comes from the 2H parry ability, which - even with 600 proficiency - is still not very high.

2H heavy is theoretically playable at high levels also with max forging, but I'm not aware of the details. Decondelite or sickentide are the experts there, I think.

I'm on my way to have my Peerless Power set fully forged. So far I can tell with certainty that yes, if you don't use a full forged set, 2H simply lacks everything: damage, mitigation, damage avoidance.

I've barely been able to clear IW50 as Power Longsword the other day, with Forge 5 on my perfect IW Peerless weapon, and armor averaging Forge 30.

You'll get news soon when my armor will be full forged. I'll also bring the weapon to forge 50. Fortunately, it's less expensive than a mage set.

Hello,

I just got this staff and two questions

https://hentaiverse.org/equip/196928426/530340c200

Would this be a good staff to start out with?

Why does it have 127% cold damage? Is the db not accurate?

It has 92% EDB according to my Live Percentile Ranges. Are you using Live Percentile Ranges 1.1.0?

(Although, to my understanding, there are known issues but Superlatanium has not been around to attend to them for some time.)

Also: it's not terrible, even if it's not highly desirable. Check out tox01's posts in the DWD thread to see what kind of mileage you can expect out of budget mage gear (notably here is a test of an Arctic Oak of Focus).

Yeah, I have 1.10

I even went ahead and redownloaded it from

https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=212481

and nothing changed

Oh well. If you say it's 92% I'll go with that.

I'm also using Live Percentile Ranges 1.1.0, but I see 127% like Firew did.
The response from reasoningtheory says the range for Cold EDB on an Arctic staff is 16.64 - 18.03, yet that staff has 18.41.
Is yours connecting to a different server or something?

I don't think people are interested in mage equip until level 400. Plus is not a redwood.

You can try to sell it or give it to decondelite for his low-mid auction, but if I were you I would salvage it or donate it to the Free Shop.

Yes, it's fine to start, if you can collect Cloth armour to accompany it (4 Phase of Niflheim + 1 Cotton of Elementalist, or 3 Phase + 2 Cotton)...
It may serve many levels until you move to a non-Focus staff. It'll get your hit chance close/over 200% to remove monster's evasion, you will save on Mana potions die to lower mana consumption, it may be easier to get Penetrator (counter-resist) potency on it (poll of 4 potencies; non-Focus staffs have poll of 5 potencies).
It's slower in the last 3 arenas compared to non-Focus staffs (takes longer to kill bosses), but in other arenas it's similar to non-Focus ones. All arenas difference - a few minutes [for me; your time may differ].


If you don't quite understand what you need as mage, please check the guide

No one will ever want to buy one like that. You can safely salvage it.

Curious! No, mine also uses reasoningtheory's gethvitems.php, but the console tells me it used local data for this one.

Perhaps my local data is built off old values. Should I clear it and build anew? I'll wait for decondelite's response, because I think he's the only one that knows the current working state of LPR.

LPR started exploiting the equipment database again roughly two months ago, but afaik, when I asked players to use the HV Items script to feed the database, no one gave a shit. I don't know if super included the HV Items script inside LPR, but if not it seriously needs to be done, so that everyone who uses LPR is made to contribute to the equipment database.

I do can tell that super updates his server cache only once in a while to reduce the burden on my server, so you are pretty much guaranteed to have ranges updated quite later (up to 2-3 weeks IIRC) when a new extremum is registered.

It actually does send data to the niblseed db - just checked. Should I assume I have old erroneous data cached and refresh my local data, then?

No idea. I don't know how LPR manages that.
What is certain, is that it will retrieve the ranges from the server's cache if you delete your local cache. So you can't go wrong if you do that.
