I don't get why to charge 9c/PXP... Be capitalist pig, charge more, profit ヽ( ˋ(00)´ )ノ


With 8c/pxp it makes roughly 140kC for a full IW with no shard on a Legendary. It can already be seen as expensive to the eyes of a customer. And then if he wants to get a perfect IW, the price charged to him is multiple times that amount, without even including the shards. It's quite easy to exceed a price of 500kC that way.

You gotta keep in mind that in all cses, the price charged must remain reasonable compared to price of the equipment itself.

There's no such thing as trust, only what you can afford to lose (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Vigorous Vitality makes a real difference, but I wouldn't sweat buying it first.
Yakety Sax is amazing, but I don't know how often people actually flee anymore. Probably not worth it now that you get healed for free after battles. That name, tho.
Innate Arcana 1 and 2 and Postage Paid are immediate must-haves. These are the only cheap ones as far as I'm concerned.

Wiki boasts Thinking Cap but gives no reason. Monsters will just outpace your gear, but dawn raises profs for free so maybe someone will take the bait. Would rather spend 250 hath on upgrades.

Just go big and get Daemon Duality. The difference is yuge.

At what monster count does it become worth it?
How does it compare to having a ton of monsters and using Inspiration training?

dunno, lol. i only know that it slowed down the pace at which i have to purchase pills, so i'm saving credits. if i'm saving credits, it's an investment with a payback time and a ROI. plus, it spares me the hassle of looking for pills.

i tend to use hath for perks and credits for all the rest without converting them due to the volatility of the exchange rates, and that one doesn't seem so bad. plus, i have GS's bonus morale drop, so for a non-GS it should be even more interesting.


[edit]: btw, sitting at 62 mobs. 64 in the matter of 3 tokens.

A Gold Star means also double Slots. If all the Slots are used, the Player with Gold Star needs the same Amount of Happy Pills if compared with one without Gold Star, but gets more Gifts. I think the Player without Gold Star schould save the Credits for the first Gold Star, instead of getting Extra Strength Formula. I think that Extra Strength Formula doesn't have a high Priority. They'd better consider it after they play much, have one Gold Star and lots of Monsters.

Scremaz. You have no idea how happy you made your uncle with a single sentence. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Btw i would guess it starts to be worth it at around 20~30 monster. This is a bit hard to say because there are so many different possibilitys people could have when they actually train it.

Another question: What bonus give the "Adopt a server" donation?

------------------------------------------------------

Obviously trust is the first thing sending equipment, sabregimp was my first IWer but is now closed, decondelite and DJNoni are trusted users so they are ok but obviously i will not send a peerless or an high valued legendary to the first that pass.

------------------------------------------------------

Hath Perks
Postage Paid, the first thing to get, always.
Innate Arcana 1-2-3 as soon as you can, they are monstrous.
Vigirous Vitality, no matter the fighting style you are using, this thing is a must.
Resplendent Regeneration, a little less effective now that you refill when finishing a battle but still a great perk to have (expecially if you have "Gold Star Club", +100% MP and SP Regeneration is fantastic).
Effluent Ether and Suffusive Spirit, the first better for mages, the second for Meele (1H expecially), both a bit pricy but they are good to have.

Enigma Energizer, good bonus even if it is a chance encounter.
Thinking Cap and Mentats, get them after level 350-400.

Dæmon Duality I, my next perk, it is simply too good but 2000H are not for all.

Extra Strength Formula, if you have a lot of monsters.

Eminent Elementalist, Divine Warmage and Death and Decay, the one for the magic you use (but after the others).

Yakety Sax is nearly useless, learn to run when you see real trouble coming.

I need an expert (or more ...) to help me understand what is going on with the repair cost of my iitem.

in wiki (Vd. Forge.Repair) the formula is

QUOTE
Scraps Needed = 1 + rounddown((100 - condition%) / quality_mod


(SIC. it lacks the closing second parenthesis in the wiki original, BTW.)

where condition% is the equipment's condition in percentage, and the quality_mod value is specified in table, and for my equip. is 10, since it is a Superior Shocking Axe of Slaughter that you can see HERE

So with 51% condition, metal scraps needed should be 1 + round( 49 / 10 ), which gives 6.

However when I go to Forge -> Repair and select it, it tells me 11 are needed !!

Is it a bug ? In the formula, or in the Forge, or in my reasonong ?

Please explain, thank you all and merry Xmas (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I would guess the formula is just not up to date.

That's what I initially assumed, but then checking with other equips, for those others the numbers match.

ThisSup Axe is the only one which gives ne different result. In fact, it seems the Forge calculates it as if it were an Exquisite !

Does the fact that it is a 3 PABs Sup. influence the calculation in some way ?

If so, it should be mentioned in the wiki. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

The old (pre 0.82) equipment seems to have weird values for the quality coefficient, possibly based on pxp.
For a new superior at 52% I need 5 scraps to repair (pxp=234).

Pre 0.82 superior
51% pxp=299 11 scraps
56% pxp=294 8 scraps
78% pxp=295 4 scraps
83% pxp=309 6 scraps

Considering what has been said so far, yes the formula is slightly off.
It's the equipment's numerical condition that should be used in the formula, not the equip's condition percentage.

So my conclusion: yet another wiki article that needs correction... We're doing that quite a lot recently, it's exhausting.
We'll check that with the other wiki contributors when we have a bit of time.

I think jantch implies that is the potency to get involved, noy the condition (numerical or percentage).

That makes some sense to me, if I look at others equip for comparison ... but I cannot find a fix for the formula that works for all cases (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

In a certain sense, it is proper that this Sup costs like a Exq to repair, since it's almost better then most Exq I've seen, but still ... I bought it cheap from Bazaar and thought "3 PABs and good ADB and my level, plus Shoking that goes well with me, I like Elec everywhere, AND JUST 6 SCRAPS TO FULL CONDITION ..." ......

then BANG, the surprise (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
