Well, thanks. Will start making the change for full heavy set then. Difficulty is okay, it is acceptable unless a mistake is done, just starting to get less and less profitable.
Worthy keeping the Club for that superior stun or add waki or rapier for parry now that I am sacrificing the evade?

Well, you have to remind. Parry is just for physical attacks, while evade is also for magical attacks. But i would say, if you allready have an rapier of the same quality use it, not so much for the parry, but for the penetrated armor effect.

Right now he's around level 100. At such a low level, you usually play at low difficulty, and the monsters are extremely weak such that penetrated armor does nothing. You gain far more by having more weapon damage.
Before level 200 you should furthermore be using whatever randomly happens to be your best or most recent weapon drop, which could be anything.
On the subject of buying stars, I was wondering how does that work. Obviously you pay someone credits for a star, but where does the star come from in the first place? Does someone else pay the $100 real life money and is willing to trade it for 50m credits?

Hm, it has been a while since i was his level. So you may be right about this. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) And to answer your question. Yes, you pay someone the credits he want, and you get 100$ in bitcoins from him on your wallet. After that you go to myhome - Donations and just donate those bitcoins. After that, we have a new star owner. This post has been edited by Uncle Stu: Sep 27 2017, 21:29

At higher leves does it make a big difference? I am using an Exquisite quality club now. Just tested it on a random battle and it takes usually 5 hits to kill a monster, unless crits. This post has been edited by reality_marble: Sep 28 2017, 01:31

At x20, w/o penetrate and imperil, it takes me around 6 - 8 stabs to kill one. With both, # is 2-4.

Visit three pages in the game, namely "Item Inventory", "Shrine" and "Item Bazaar" and check is your item really be gone? Disable all scripts and recheck again.
Nope, it's not there, it's gone, poof, no está, il n'est pas là

Hi.
Can anyone remind me what was the last id of the pre-0.82 equips? Or an easy way to find it? I'd need it to differentiate the level assigned pre-0.82 from modern equips, so that I don't buy crap at a higher value than I should.

Dark/Holy if you plan to do many SGs (with a personal preference for Dark). Cold otherwise, since it can be paired with Fire Spike. the other prefixes should be pretty much the same. try to avoid Ethereal if possible and if you don't plan to play DW with the same rapier. [edit]: btw, your rapier seems solid enough to me... This post has been edited by Scremaz: Sep 28 2017, 12:31

How should that work? DW has different IW needs. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I see a tempest in this week auction with better parry and damage but don't know if mine is better or that one. For arenas I'm going all mage already so 1H is only for grindfests. Tbh I don't really want to change. 10% materials + catalysts + auction price + IW seem a lot. Am I better off spending credits on a slaughter armor?

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) personally i found that an overall OP6 is already good enough. so one may think about going OP4~5 on offhand waki/shortsword (depending on what Fatality level he wants), tolerating an OP1~2 on mainhand rapier and bam - an all-purpose rapier. furthermore, it's not like OP1~2 hinders 1H gameplay too much. Overwhelming Strikes isn't on all times, you know. QUOTE(as013 @ Sep 28 2017, 12:35)  I see a tempest in this week auction with better parry and damage but don't know if mine is better or that one.

not worth the pain of re-forging and re-doing IW, imo. keep yours.

I'm looking for the exact value, not an approximation. Wasn't there some script that had it hardcoded?

dude, the amount of items generated in one second is enormous and the amount of infos we had was scarce (even worse now). we came at that value by aproximations. i know SmartSearch uses a 67.18M value, but probably it's a bit higher than needed to be on the safe side. what do you need that for?

Well, I was thinking about possibly making a script that changes the equip popup's background to warn that it's a pre-0.82. Would be very useful at least for me. But since smartsearch uses a hardcoded value, I suppose I'll refer to that one.

ah, ok. maybe more useful for starters and less for old farts, but why not? my two cents, i'd personally see it as a function to be implehemented into Toolbox. so, i'd suggest you to put it in a form that would be already ready to be incorporated into it. would it be possible?
