Is there a good explanation of spell durations? All the wiki says is "The duration of spells lasting more than one turn depends on their base duration, the number of Ability Points invested (where applicable) and the relevant proficiencies."

Well, I don't see anything in that sentence that explains why my spells get different durations every time I cast them. For example, at my current ability levels, Regen will last for either 79 or 118 turns, Protection will be either 192 or 288, and Heartseeker will be either 237 or 356. I get one of the two durations for each spell, seemingly at random, and casting the same spell back to back will often result in the number of durations alternating between the two numbers. So I could cast Protection and get 192 turns, then immediately cast it again and get 288, and the reverse is also true (getting 288 the first time and 192 the second.) What's going on here?

There are two caps: the maximum possible number of upgrades for a stat (50 or 100, depending) and your forge level. Your HV level has nothing to do with it. Probably your forge level has been slowly increasing. See the wiki.

Uses for cores have not made it into HV yet.

Thanks for the info. I haven't been paying attention to my forge level since it seems to go up slowly. Just wondering how much I'd need to keep upgrading my equipment and which stats should be upgraded first. My weapon's or my armors'.

In the wiki it' says Sta usage over 60 Sta it's 0.03 by battle round, so on TT&TT (75 rounds) the usage has to be 2.25 , or i'm wrong?

I'm asking because doing TT&TT use 15 Sta each time. I have the riddlemaster penalty, but i feel i had been answering right.

Keep getting them right. You'll see that the penalty is lifted when there is no warning anymore when you hover over your stamina value. It should say "you're not receiving any penalties". Until that time, keep going. This can take while, but how much time exactly is not clear to anyone (except tenboro who will not share this information). And yes, stamina consumption in wiki page is correct - if you don't have penalty.

those values are without vs. with Channeling. That adds 50% to the duration of the spell.

those values are without vs. with Spirit Channeling. That (roughly) doubles the duration of the spell.

Except I'm not using Spirit Channeling. I can start a round, be it arena, item world, whatever, and cast protection as my very first action, getting 288 turns of duration. Then as my second action, cast protection again and get 192 turns. I could even cast it a third time and get 288 again. The alternating durations don't switch back and forth every time the spell is cast - it seems to be random. But it has nothing to do with spirit channeling, so far as I can see.

it's the Channeling, not the Spirit Channeling, and it actually boost 50% but not double.
and it's impossible that you get boost in the very first action, the Channeling randomly happen when you cast something or when you use Mystic Gem, but it can't happen in the first action

To Trogon: Have you paid attention to the line of icons representing your active spells? The random channeling should appear among the leftmost icons (because those are the ones to disappear first). You get the same icon whenever you drop a powerup gem that causes channeling.

The random channeling is a key element in my play style: I generally try to spend the advantage to cast heartseeker or regen – getting an expensive spell to last long, almost without a cost. If I have already cast those two, and both have more than a few dozen rounds of duration left, I either cast a powerful deprecating or offensive spell with it, or use it for one of the less expensive supportive spells (haste is typically a good choice).

I’d be curious to hear how you experts prefer to use channeling for your benefit (when you play melee).

Sorry, I would like to ask something about the exquisite equipment
How to determine whether the equipment should be salvage or sold, or they are usable?
I have a bunch of exquisite and magnificent equipment, but I don't know which is better.......

OK, thanks. I could have sworn that I was getting the higher value on the first casting sometimes, but I guess I was mistaken. I think the reason I noticed this happening was due to the addition of an additional slot in innate arcana. Previously, I would start out casting protect, then shadow veil, by which time I would usually have gotten channeling and cast regen, getting the higher duration value. But I just recently got the 3rd tier of innate arcana and added shadow veil to it, so now I only cast protect before I'm faced with casting higher MP spells (regen/heartseeker). Since I rarely get channeling after casting that one protect spell, I almost always end up getting the lower duration regen now, and it was immediately noticeable that I was having to recast regen more often. I somehow never put 2 and 2 together and realized the connection to channeling.

Btw, this has nothing to do with my question, but THIS just happened. Wow, what are the odds?

nible rapier - meh
tempestuous rapier is pretty good for exquisite. can be sold maybe.
The balance rapier - pretty bad, but good for self use. You posted that one twice.

For my current status as 1H Melee, should I aim for max forge on current equip, full slaughter, or try for cheap fire mage? Goal is faster arenas (probably takes 3h for all) and therefore faster income. Here are my stats:

- Low budget: 10-20M
- Usually only do arenas, which may change if I'm able to go faster; never die on arenas or PFUDOR IW ~85
- DWD takes 25m
- Hath Perks: Evil Enchantress, IA4, DD1
- Use Suffused Aether, Infusions, and 3 Featherweight Shards

If you want to finish arena faster, play mage. Mage is significantly faster than melee. With 10m to 20m you should be able to become a decent Cold/Fire mage. But if you want to play Grindfest or IW, you should choose Elec/Wind/Dark instead.

Mages, i know, are good for iw, gf and arena mobs.

But, 1h or DW are better for ring of.blood , killing boss? I ask this bcause i think those can get higher crit rate than mages.

Also melee weapons with elemental strike ( from prefixes or infusion) can proc estatus efrect?

Asíde.from archeologist . There si a way to increase artifact drop rate?

mages are also effective against bosses, but yeah melee skills help a lot in ring of blood. So in the end they perform almost the same.

no. Only spells.

Asíde.from archeologist . There si a way to increase artifact drop rate?

scavenger training, to increase all drop rates including artifact

Is there any reason to do ring of blood on a difficulty other than hard?

Not much... just a small chance of a good Legendary or peerless

What should i do with my legendary drops that i have no use for? Salvage?

Sell if it has value, salvage otherwise. Unless the bazaar value is higher than the materials value. Then sell in bazaar

I would like to ask something about the hath perk
I just got my DD4, and want some suggestion about whether I should go for Suffusive Spirit, Resplendent Regeneration or just leave them and accumulate for higher level of DD
I am now thinking of changing to mage, and credit is not enough for both hath perk and buying the equipments, so I would like to ask for some advice.

By the way, my accuracy is damn low for the riddle that the stamina drains 50% faster, are there any solution to that?

Suffusive Spirit is completely useless. Don't get it. Resplendent Regeneration is marginally useful for mages with mana problems. It only boosts natural regen, not draughts or potions. DD5 is certainly a good option.

At your level, mage may be faster in the schoolgirl arenas, but will have major problems surviving elsewhere on high difficulty. Either save your melee set, get a waki (nimble or battlecaster) and buckler (barrier or battlecaster, nimble might work too) for 1h mage, or lower the difficulty with staff mage. I always play mage upon reaching level 310 in isekai myself, with staff for schoolgirl arenas and waki/buckler for other arenas and item world. An elemental mage is best for now (pick one of fire, cold, elec, or wind) to survive, but consider changing when you reach 400 and can access level 500 equipment via soulfusing. That's when mage gets really good, though it can also get pricey. See Nezu's mage guide if you haven't already.

For stamina penalty, just answer more riddles correctly. Study the pony chart for identifying features like hair/tail, Applejack's hat, which ones have wings, and whatever else you can find. It can take a while for the penalty to wear off, and only Tenboro knows how long.

Hello! I'm trying to decide what hath perk(s) to invest in. I've got innate arcana 4 and postage paid. Currently, I have 1k hath and 1.3m credits (looks like it'd buy me 400 hath). I play 1H heavy armor and am level 247.

My scripts mention I don't have coupon clipper every time I buy catalysts so I thought I should buy that, but a comment here from around May said it wasn't worth it. I haven't been able to clear two levels of Ring of Blood, so I'm considering Tokenizer 1 and thinking cap 1. I saw both, along with DD recommended in a comment from November.
I don't have any particular goals, just leveling and getting better gear.
