[X] My Assistant

And something I've been meaning to ask with this update but kept forgetting...How many grindfest do you have to start within a certain amount of time before you hit the brick wall that won't let you start any more? Not knowing the number was part of the contributing factor (for me) to play in cakefest of normal as I was afraid just from normal playing I would run out of normalfests and get overall less exp than just one (very good) cakefest.

Well I found out today roughly 3:48 pm est (4 hrs 12 mins before new day) you will run out of grindfests if you do grindfests on nightmare around 9 rounds each (i was trying normal to nintendo difficulty but mostly decided nightmare would be best) rounds each at a rate of 1-2 turns per second. Probably try heroic grindfests after start of new day. (so that I survive longer per grindfest and don't spend grindfest startups as fast).

And while I'm posting here I'm surprised noone has cracked a joke about how Cure III should have be named Cure Hitokiri/Hitokiri's Personal Cure/something along those lines :P

Would you rather have the monster or whatever gain the potion effect? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Yes. And 100% drops unless the monster uses said item. This means monsters with weaponry, armor, bubble gum and etc. It'd be marvelous if not glorious to see a tentacle monster hand your own excrement back to you because it's holding a +99 uber diamond staff of sheer win. Defeating said challenge would yield that item yes, but it adds to the challenge :3

Yeah. I experienced that before. I ran away too often and used up my grindfests of the day.

Because of this patch, I jumped from 22 rounds max to 40-ish round max in cakefest so I'm happy. This patch brings me back the hope that was lost because of 0.3.7-0.3.8. :p

Was able to start a grindfest just now, roughly 1 hr after I got the limit exceeded message, I guess it refills partially after a time duration rather than all after a new day.

Well, what happens in the update-character-effect-status-thingies thingie is that the effects are applied against stats and everything, and then if they are expired, they're removed. The actual effects of the spell last through the entire turn, that is, until the player has another action. But yeah, it probably could do this processing after the monsters have their turn instead of before.

Oh god no. Can you imagine accidentally giving an enemy bubble-gum powers?

Tenboro did say it was over a 100 hour time period, so maybe its a rolling interval?

It's over the average of 100 hours, up to 200 grindfests, please read the page before before posting.

Wait... I thought that bubble gum only restores mp

It's over the average of 100 hours, up to 200 grindfests, please read the page before before posting.

Of course I read it, "They're set fairly liberally, it's mostly to stop botting or at least slow it to the point where it could be done by a human. You can start about one new grindfest every hour and one new grindfest battle every three minutes, averaged over 100 hours."

I don't know where you're getting 200 though, I calculated 2000 battles per 100 hrs (20 per hr x 100). Anyway after you run out, I'm guessing it refills by one per roughly an hour (or the average after an hour after you run out of limit allows you for another battle but I was able to initiate exactly one grindfest 1 hr after limit ran out)

i wanted to see if bubble-gum had much of an effect on my spirit attack, so i used it and a soul stone (overcharge was 224%, power is 391)

Question for Tenboro: Are there any plans to add more levels to the Focused Aura ability?

Yes.

That would be nice. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I think you just did. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

But seriously, sure Cure III gives me instant full health, but it costs 215 MP to cast, so no way I'll actually use that unless I'm in dire straights. I'll probably just stick with Cure II, but at the same time I feel there should be a Regen II between Cure II and Cure III for consistency. I'm thinking a Regen II would have about the same cost and effectiveness as regen had before the nerfing, or maybe a little less in the same manner as how the successive levels of Cure are less efficient mana-wise.

any chance of changing equipment statistics screen pages from 4 to 5 or 6 to prevent 2 of the screens from looking like this?:

who use the healer nowadays anyway when everyone almost have unlimited potions of lesser of all sorts.

Only if I fail an Arena. I have 6 tokens I haven't used yet.

I have discovered I really like Healing Tokens (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Thanks again Tenboro

I have discovered that I'd prefer a slightly higher blood / healing token ratio.

This.

to get the most out of my healing tokens i'm probably not going to use mine till i'm level 100. which will probably never happen. which means i will never use them.

If you're never going to make it to 100, go ahead and use them, because you'll get loads more on the way to 99
