hey guys i have 2 questions to ask...

1. is there anyway to see my current bonus EXP??

my lvlup is pretty fast atm but i am not sure howmuch exp bonus im getting now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

2. im getting msg "Failed to start Random encounters" when I click the Ready button (using scripts).

whats happened? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

1. No, you can't see that. You can calculate it, though. Based on EXP training, EXP perk, and all the awards/stars you have (but you have none yet).

2. That's a known bug atm for the 'dawn of the new day' encounter (first of the day). If you use HV Utils, that is. Will be solved in the next update, later this month. And it's caused by an update of the gallery system. If you get it more often, it's because you have seen the 'you've encountered a monster' box in a gallery, didn't click it, and then went to HV and clicked 'ready'. That's not a bug. The 'ready' button is meant for if you don't browse the galleries in the mean time.

ahhh I see, thank you.

How much exp do you get from pffest compared to dwd?

At 429, DWD was ~132m exp per stam for me. IWBTH Fest was 64m/stam, a little above the 55 round arena. PF IW100s ~85mil/stam, slightly less than the 110 round arena. Expect it to be roughly equivalent to the IW100 number.

Another way to put it: IW exp mods are between 1-1.2x, GF is 1x, both use the same monster pool and should have roughly similar mobs per round. Since my IW100 case + fest1k cases both use the full amount of rounds per stamina, I can reasonably compare these numbers and say... DWD is about 55% more exp per stam than a grindfest.

If you want actual numbers, though, that depends entirely on level

When I'm grinding Arenas, should I drop the difficulty off of PFUDOR? I can generally do Dance of Dragons if I play it right and don't mess up too badly, but whenever I do die towards the end it just feels like a massive waste of time.

Also do loot drops change based on difficulty, or is it purely XP change?

Well in your case i would say, yes. Yes, you should drop the difficulty.

Yes, drops change baed on your difficulty. Did you never notice that when you play on PFUDOR the only average equipment you get are from the clear bonus from first page arenas? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

You must either be uding Monsterbation wrong, or not using it at all.
Difficulty setting changes mostly the equipment quality level, the amount of crystals per drop and the amount of credits drop. So yes the difficulty setting is quite significant overall.

Hi guys. I am looking into elemental mage builds. It occur to me that people are raising mainly elemental proficiency, and the only slot that gives you extra deprecating is the staff. But it also seems that how successful you imperil every monster is very critical to your survival. I know counter-resist helps with this. How much should one accumulate deprecating proficiency? Does it affect the success rate of casting imperil?

Now that I think about it, it is not very clear to me how monster actually resist deprecating spells from reading the wiki. How does it actually work?

Basically, you need as much depr prof as possible, but the elemental prof and damage still remain more important.
That's why the classic mage build has depr prof only on the staff. In theory one could very well use Legendary Charged Cotton of the Curse-Weaver, but the overall efficiency suffers from that.

Ideally, you'd have a 1.0 depr prof factor to have a maximum counter-resist bonus. In practice, that simply won't be possible when only the staff has depr prof, so all you can do is forging your staff's prof to the max and deal with it.

As for how monsters resist depr spells, it's quite simple. Depr spells can be resisted pretty much just like all other spells, but therer is only one roll to determine if a depr spell is resisted, as opposed to 3 rolls for offensive spells:
3 rolls for offensive => https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Damage#Resist_Mechanics
Only one roll for depr => https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Damage#Anti-Avoidance

As for how the resist probability is calculated, it's simply according to the following furmula:
https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Monster_Stats#Resist
Basically, the more Wisdom, the more likely the monster will resist. Monsters are capped at 27.1% resist, if full chaosed at PFUDOR difficulty.

Quick newbie question about burden and interference. I know it's probably been answred before, but I can't seem to find it anywhere...

I'm wearing full heavy armors right now, and I want to know if the penalty from burden and interference negates positive effects from buffs like haste, shadowveil, and heartseek. In other words, if your burden/interference gets to a cerain point, casting these buffs would just be a waste of mana, yes?

There is Ask the Experts! thread. Please use it in the future.

Wiki: Burden and Interference

Interference increases your spell's cost.
Yes, burden may decrease your Evade chance, Attack speed and Critical Chance. Depends on your current values.

You can use Featherweight Charms on your equipment (Forge - Enchant) to reduce Burden and Interference.

I've already read everything on the wiki about it before posting, and your answer didn't really address my question. So I'll rephrase my question a little better: Are the buffs increaseing your stats come into play before or after the penalty from interference and burden? If it's before, then it would mean casting haste while you have more than 75 burden would be pointless, right?

Hey guys,

So it has been a few years, but I was thinking of getting back into the game. Any suggestions for attribute distribution for me? I'm at level 226 but I've basically forgotten everything about the game. I can post some of the equipment I have as well, if that would help.

I also have innate arcana level 4.


Basically treat me like a newbie who happens to be at a much higher level than I should be.

No, not until you tell us what style you play, or want to play.

Sure, it would help.

I also have innate arcana level 4.

Wow, really? I just got that a while ago myself. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I wouldnt call you level higher, not even high at all. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Wow, you didnt wear any equipment do you? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I used to have it all set up, but when I logged in to see what had changed all my equipment was not set up anymore. As I said it has been a while.

I'm not sure what style I want to play as, I think I was playing as a mage, as I have a bunch of mage equipment in my inventory.

To be honest I dont really even k ow where to start anymore.

Ah, yeah i remember that did happen when 10bo did change the ability system. Good times. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) But at your level it is not the best idea to play as mage. I would suggest 1H for coming back into the game and decide later if you want to play another style. And if you follow my suggestion, you best star in equip a 1H weapon with a shield and a full set of power/heavy armor. After that you should set the important abilities and dont forgot to slot them. And at your level, now that i think about it, the best would be, ignore Int and set everything else equal. For the start that should be enough.

I've already read everything on the wiki about it before posting, and your answer didn't really address my question. So I'll rephrase my question a little better: Are the buffs increaseing your stats come into play before or after the penalty from interference and burden?

No, Burden and Interference kick in before all the cast buffs. So Haste, Heartseeker and Shadow Veil are pretty much guaranteed and applied as layers.
Actually, the wiki does answer that question, if you analyze the respective formulae. But I agree that it's not necessarily an easy thing to do for everyone, as it does require a certain level of mastery in maths.

I hope that this time you've got a clear answer to your question. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Okeay lets see.

As shield i would suggest the Exquisite buckler of the Nimble. And as weapon the Superior Rapier of Balance.

Btw, you should also check your monsterlab and feed your monster, so you can get gifts from them in the future.

Specifically... the evade section explicitly answers the question and explains why, without even needing to analyse the formula.

However, the burden's malus is applied to the overall chance to evade, while shadow_veil applies a base evade in battle that cannot be negated by Burden.

Armor

Well, the Cotton Cap of Warding you should salvage, itself is worthless, but it gives you a High Grade Cloth, the Gossamer Cap on the other Hand, is outdated and Unassigned Equipment, i wouldnt be surprised, if a collector would give you quite something for it.

Well, for the heavy armor, just use any exq heavy pieces you have to make a full set and just use superior if you dont have a full exq set. It does not matter too much, because now that i think about it, i guess your whole equipment is pre 0.82 anyway and should be replaced asap with new dropped equipment.
