I have 1-turn PA on my eth rapier, but I frequently see 2 turns on it. Does anyone have a definitive answer on why? Is it the whole "LOL, 14 decimal places" tomfoolery?

Relative Action Speed to what ever enemy you've proced could account for that.

I'd thought about that, but the duration on the effect tooltip normally accounts for that. With Bleed, if the mob takes an action after you proc them, the counter already shows one less than what your weapon's duration is once the page loads for the next turn. My axe has 2 turns of Bleed, but I only see it with more than 1 if I got a double-hit in and I proc'd BW. Unless I was thinking about it all wrong, which is entirely possible.

I've noticed that with Rapiers before. I think that's just how it works. Don't make a big fuss about it, otherwise someone might "fix" it.

Cure II. Situationally useful, or a waste of MP?

It depends on the situation and your evasion/parry or block. If you have a lot of other damage avoidance, SV is less effective. (Mine reads out as 19.6, but I actually get about half that in additional damage avoidance). I, however, use neither, preferring Haste. (I'm a mage)

Now that I actually look at the cost, it probably IS a waste of MP... but lately I've been keeping my MP high in arenas, and I like being able to go several rounds without worrying about my HP. Plus a good crit from a miniboss or two could still wipe out most of what Cure can heal (and I run into Manthra a LOT), so I'd rather waste MP, pop a few mana draughts along the way, and get the MP back when I win, than play it conservative and lose credits. But keep in mind the farthest I've had to go is Dreamfall at this point. Now I have a question: does anyone have a rough idea of how high your Luck of the Draw has to be before you see any Superior or better equipment drops? Or is it more dependent on something else?

To get better than superior, is very easy, just clear The Sisters and the Tree on battletoads (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I have only one Luck of the Draw, and I already saw 2 superior drops this week, 1 in the last one, 1 in the month before, so I say that is more dependent on something else (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I dunno what it is. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I got two Fine shortswords today, along with a staff that wasn't too bad (though I have better), which is the best I've done in a while, and I was hoping my drops were generally improving.

Quality is also based on which round you're on (the higher the better). So getting further in your IW and grindfests can also increase the quality of drops.

As for Superior equipment, I have gotten some non-suffixed equipment to some low quality suffixed equipment to high quality equipment, mostly from the Arena. I haven't seen any Exquisite drops yet. My Luck of the Draw right now is 13/25.

From my testing, I'd say that it's useful, but with one major caveat: You need a ton of HP Tanks to make it worthwhile. It heals for a LOT, but you pay for that with the very high MP cost. If you've got enough HP to make full use of Cure II on a consistent basis, it is slightly better than Cure. It's MP-to-HP ratio is slightly lower than Cure's, but the fact that you save a full turn or more by only having to cast one Cure II for every two or three Cures you would otherwise cast makes up for it. Specific numbers for me are: My Level: 155 HP Tanks: 33 END: 180 Total HP: 3754 Curative Prof: 122.55 (0 interference) Cure Restores: 950-1100 Cure II Restores: 2350-2750 Notice that to make full use of my massive Cure IIs, I need to let my HP drop dangerously low (less than 1000), despite having all but 9 of my possible HP Tanks.

Or is it more dependent on something else?  Difficulty has a far greater effect. You can't play anything lower than normal and expect Superior. Level also has a bit an effect (because it effects the stats of the monster and thus the bonus). Personally I have 9 LotD and see a rare Superior here or there in Hard Arena and lengthy Normal Item Worlds and Grindfests. Nothing worth noting, really (except a fairly decent Buckler, but it's a Buckler).

The more equips that drop, the more chances you have to get a good roll and get a superior.

Does X-Nerf last longer than Nerf? Is it more effective than Nerf? If it does last longer, is it more mana efficient than Nerf in terms of MP/duration?

Weaken and Bewilder have the lowest cost. The wiki has lots of information on spells and the HentaiVerse in general.

The legendary at the end of To Kill a God. Does that include Konata or is it limited to the legendaries that are not glorified bosses?
