How do you unlock gear? I can't find any mention of it in the hotkeys page of the wiki and clicking on the lock just makes it glow but it still acts locked

Your equip may also appears 'locked' if it's in one of your equip sets.

Glowing lock means it's locked, if you lock it while in the shop, refresh the page/tab and it'll disappear.
Unlock equipment by clicking the glowing lock again in your inventory/equipmen screen.

And if you dont want to scroll through long list of weapon equipments just to lock that particular katana at bottom. Forge have slot tabs that you can browse easier

ok thx though he difficulty effects the token drop chance as well as the equipment.

Difficulty does not affect any drop chance.

You just have to find them before I do or outbid me (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Cure II is hardly worthless at his level for a light armor build. At your level, yes. At mine, it's still useful for the non-heavy armor builds. Remember, Cure I is only 0.75x base health if he's maxed prof (more like 0.65x at a realistic ~60/105 prof), while his total health is probably 1.99x base. Cure II is 1.3x base, which is good for pulling your ass out of the fire when you fail to evade one too many monsters. At your level with max prof, Cure will heal 1.3x base health (out of 2.62x base total health), which makes Cure II kind of moot as that's about half your health (and Cure III an exercise in inefficiency). Once he gets Regen II it certainly helps make Cure II obsolete given it's silly efficiency if cast off Channeling.

When it comes to Cure II, I have some annoyances as I basically am spending over double the magic power of Cure for a not even close equivalent of a healing effect that 2 cure spells can do. However, it is useful if you've been dealt almost lethal damage and need to get back into the fight quickly. I have noticed Regen does help out over time, providing the creatures leave me alone enough to regen.

As for Arena drops, I haven't hit a token of blood for a while. In fact, I do the highest I can (for the challenge) and usually end up with potions (superior or godly), crystals, or if I'm lucky a superior cloth armor (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Also, other then personal pride and a boost for experience, are there extra benefits for taking on arena areas at upper difficulty levels? Of the first batch of arenas, over half are been done at IWBTH level and Battletoads, although I've been taking each on at the lowest level and then when I beat it, I raise the difficulty and continue.

I may hold off on the exp and ability slot training and work on trying to get a better roll for drops, since I've done Scavenger 3 times, Luck of the Draw once, Quartermaster twice, and Archaeologist once.

And since this is a questions forum, here's 2 questions:
Can someone explain the Assimilator training skill a little better? I've done the reading, but I still don't quite get it. Is all it does is cut down the training time to learn a skill?

And for the dumb question of the day: In game only, what can one do to increase a credits that drop? I know I'm misssing something. I'm not saying I want them to drop tens of thousands of credits at a time, but I feel like it's the "drops in the bathtub" scenario in order for anything to accumulate.

laters,

(speaking of battle, it's random battle time, IWBTH difficulty of course)

- Token can be a bit tricky: you know it has more chance to drop at the end of a round, but you just can't see any. Then one day you receive more than a few tokens and you consider yourself lucky.

- You get better drop bonus and more credits from higher difficulty, so it's always better to fight in that difficulty provided that you've sufficient time and effort

- Drop training is also tricky. if all depends on your luck, but that's a big credit sink.

- Assimilator is used to let you gain proficiency more often. Nothing to do with training.

According to skillchip swift strike does indeed stack, multiplicatively.
Short version
Long version

So action speed has no cap, but going above 400 would make no difference to you actual fights in terms of your turns:monster turns?

Sorry, I didnt express myself very well - I didnt mean the drop chance in general but the drop chance to get better stuff.

I think it doubles the amount of prof gain (to 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 at max). The prof gain chance depend of your max lv and current prof

Does it different if die from battle and flee from battle? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

No, it changes the frequency you're getting the prof gain. The amount is still 0.01, 0.02, 0.03.

Does it different if die from battle and flee from battle? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

No. Um...well one of the monster may get a kill if you die, but that should be it.

As far as I can tell it doesn't. Based on what I read on the wiki, if you flee or die you don't get the exp/credits for the victory, and the monsters that were generated and left alive might get a victory point for their creator for the drop. I don't know if anyone would get the kill point though. There's no penalty for dying as far as I can tell.

I would guess it depends on how much hp/mp/sp you want to restore if you die vs fleeing out.

laters,

RRViper
(who is now pondering what penalties would be intersting for a flee vs death.)

Just to double-check: Unless you are using a weapon with the Swift Strike potency, is more Evade the only reason to continue raising Agility once your Action Speed is over 400 with Haste?

It won't help melee attacks, but it helps with things that have >1 attack time, like T2+ AoEs or Regen II. It's the action time that's capped (well, floored at 100 before X-Abilities/Swift Strike actually).

So action speed has no cap, but going above 400 would make no difference to you actual fights in terms of your turns:monster turns?

If all you ever do is faceroll then yes, it doesn't do anything except the turns where you cast Regen II, but I know n125 is throwing Storms of Njord around.

Can I ask what kind of proficiency and stat needed to archieve 80% domino strike?(and level needed to get that point)

It shouldn't be...I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what the problem is.

1) Cast Soul Fire on Yggdrasil until Burning Soul procs.
2) Cast Soul Burst on Yggdrasil to explode Burning Soul. (You won't see discrete explode damage in the battle log, but it's there.) Keep casting Soul Burst until Yggdrasil is dead.
3) Cast Soul Fire on one of the three other goddesses until Burning Soul procs. Kill with Soul Burst. Now that Yggdrasil is dead you will notice that Burning Soul keeps proc'ing on all three goddesses once you start casting Soul Burst.

You can be picky about the order in which you kill the goddesses, but I find that it doesn't really matter as long as Yggdrasil is first. On BT/IWTBH I just cast Imperil on all four at the beginning and proceed to take them out with the method above; it's over in about 20/30 turns respectively.

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

my soul score is 3939 which is pretty match for the average soul damage(after multiply 7, it is about 20k output), but

5 5 Soul Burst hits Urd for 73163 soul damage.
2 5 Soul Burst blasts Yggdrasil for 91586 soul damage.

this two hits did much higher damage than rest ones

Screams of the Past: The destruction of the past has increased the defensive power of her sisters.
Cast on the remaining goddesses after Urd is defeated.

After Urd dies, the other 2 get defense bonus, which should explain the lower damage.

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA

Since when did monsters have Spirit points? Should I be worried?

In 7 more levels if your gear sucks.

hmm, it cause by other reasons, i got it now



"
If the primary target is under the effect of Soul Fire, the base damage of Soul Burst is multiplied
Soul T3.5 Burst | Damage factor | 7.8
“


so, in order to make 7.8 times output happen, players need cycling soul fire and soul burst

in past, i thought 7.8 times can just be made by
"soul fire on one mob > soul burst to spread soul debff > soul burst do 7.8x on everyone now "

how stupid i am (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)
