QUOTE(Cats Lover @ Dec 20 2013, 09:30)  I had always wanted to ask who has madly forged weapon. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Do you remember the weapon's base stat without butcher? How much percentage upgraded when 100 times forged... about x2 damage with 100 slaughters? I'm trying niten on Hellfest for fun, but it is too unstable in comparison with 1H. That's pretty tough, even more than I expected. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) QUOTE(Pillowgirl @ Dec 20 2013, 12:09)  Proof, or fucking bullshit.
QUOTE(Tenboro @ May 18 2013, 18:31)  Forge Tweaks
- Forging upgrade effects have been changed to a logarithmic formula, which means it now has diminishing returns. -- Essentially, early upgrades are worth more than later ones. The non-upgraded forge max is about the same, but the upgraded forge max was reduced. -- For example, instead of the old plain 1% increase per level, the first damage upgrade (0 -> 1) would increase it by about 2.6% while the last upgrade (99 -> 100) would increase it by about 0.25%.
- The limit for non-ADB/MDB forge upgrades was increased from 20/40 to 25/50.
- Fixed an issue with equipment data caching where forge EXP/potencies added to currently equipped gear would not take effect/be visible immediately.
You can also refer to skillchip's thread for some raw numbers. https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=128890QUOTE(A Modest Espeon @ Dec 20 2013, 11:28)  just got a small nuke artifact
What should i do offer or sell it?
It's some artifact that no longer drops. You can choose to keep that.

What!? If it no longer drops, how the hell did he "just got it"? This is kind of oxymoron.

Varst, i dispute this urban myth you guys seem to have that 100 slaughters is not 100% extra base damage. Logarithmic formula or not doesn't matter to the end result. QUOTE(nobody_xxx @ Dec 20 2013, 14:22)  do you know that fa exq estoc fully forged should be surpass 3100+ before TenB nerf them around 2600+ now (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) you can ask who have max forging weapon like stony who lost around 700 damage (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Doesn't matter if Stonycat loses 9000 damage, as long as i can't find this documented by several people with numbers in the official wiki it's simply speculation. You can't trust what's written on the forum. Besides, such a significant ghost patch should at least be hinted at in the wiki. Until someone with 100 slaughters can document every forge level, whatever anyone else says is just talking out of his ass. This post has been edited by Pillowgirl: Dec 20 2013, 06:39

QUOTE(Oversoul @ Dec 19 2013, 11:52)  I can see why you're not so optimistic on switching over to Shade since you'll be taking the evd penalty from your weps anyway. With decent Shade and Eth weps, it will be a walk in the park. :3 Question for 2H experts, how do you prefer to clear large rounds, start up in the top or middle? Is there a difference in speed?
I've been told the quickest way is to hit every other monster (i.e. 2/4/6/8) until those are dead and mopping up the remains.

You can always apply 100 slaughters to your weapon and see how it ends up, if you don't believe in me, Skillchip or any other players who've already done that. Or you can PM/IRC Tenboro to ask him what it means by 'the upgraded forge max was reduced'. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) tl:dr Give evidence to support your claim. QUOTE(LOL50015 @ Dec 20 2013, 12:20)  What!? If it no longer drops, how the hell did he "just got it"?

He said he got it. He could have bought that from the bazaar. Or other ways. QUOTE(Tenboro @ May 18 2013, 18:31)  Artifacts
- Normal artifact drops have been replaced with a generic "Precursor Artifact" item to make them easier to trade. The thirteen or so remaining normal artifacts are therefore now retired.

why I keep getting superior lately (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) after exqfest , now superiorfest (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) QUOTE(Pillowgirl @ Dec 20 2013, 11:24)  Varst, i dispute this urban myth you guys seem to have that 100 slaughters is not 100% extra base damage.

you know , I lost around 250 damage in my previous 70+ slaughter upgrade axe when TenB said he tweak forging (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) well , if you don't have anything get high upgrade at that time , so you don't suffering it like us (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I'm so poor (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) This post has been edited by nobody_xxx: Dec 20 2013, 06:51

Wiki's also written by the same freaking guys (i.e. me and Joe) upon reading, testing and verifying all the claims from players. The reason why there's no formula is because we can't freaking find one based on the data we've seen. As I said, I've already lead you to the thread where there's data documented and people discussing about it. If you want to counter that, give evidence or what you said is also BS.

I recorded the base stat's increment while I'm forging my own shields' block and plates' PMI 20~30 times. (My records said that +1.9% at first, and +0.95% at tenth for them) But a slaughter seems to give +2.6~2.7% to weapon at first, so I just wanted to know if 100 slaughters give approximately x2 WD to weapon (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I can't figure out it by only looking at forged weapons because I don't know their base stat... But, oh my goodness... QUOTE(skillchip @ May 25 2013, 08:45)  100/100 forging gives ~1.675x compared to 2x before

(unless the estoc's mmax for WD stat is not modified) Then 5 Butcher (about +7.1) + 96 times forged (about +46) would bring 124, which is your estoc's current base stat, right? I expected it up to 2x damage, but the romance was already broken by the old day's patch.

That's actually quite smart, I can see why it's the quickest way
