QUOTE(holy_demon @ Apr 12 2014, 13:45)  So basically checking once every 2 days will give the same result as checking every hour?
Check more than once a day if your monster gives 7+ gifts a day. I don't know how many gifts a monster could have a day with gift cooldown, though. BTW My friend said that his monster brings 12+ gifts a day. Sometimes 15+. So he checks 3 times a day.

QUOTE(treesloth16 @ Apr 12 2014, 06:54)  Anyone know the evade% that will allow you to play 2H(estoc) shade without getting hit too much?
maybe, i'm just too poor for the good stuff, but i've always found 2H(estoc) to be a bit too squishy.

Just tried leveling up my Celestial and ignored my Avion monster PL and this is the result.  Not sure if this is a rare occasion lol. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I thought posting occasionally gives me the full XP/credit bonus for the Dawn of the Day. Did that change? I made a random post yesterday, only got 25 XP, 7 credits for this Dawn of the Day again.

I believe it takes a day or so to "update."

What min PL that a monster can start bringing gift? not a joke. somehow it happened today. though, it's very very rare that it brought me multiple gifts in 1-day with those low "double gift" stats. let alone 5 gifts. also, i kept a group of low PL monster (PL25-50) & most of them brings me LG/MG mats every 2-3 day. sometimes there's a bindings here & there.

iirc, now you need to post at least once per day to get "full xp/credit" for dawn of the day. This post has been edited by malkatmp: Apr 12 2014, 08:57

QUOTE(etothex @ Apr 12 2014, 14:43)  it's more about forging and having so much attack defense doesn't matter. With Niten+shade, 29% AS / 66% pmi / 48% evade / 56% parry, and like 1000-1400 less damage than my power set, i get wrecked. My estoc is lightly forged, so bout 150 dmg less, 10% AS less, and 20% parry less. I don't even try with it. I've only got mag shade though.

With non-ethereal estoc, I have 7000 atk dm, 20% AS, 70%PMI, 54% evade, 38%parry. And I'm getting crushed. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif) Maybe 65% evade?

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) it's the randomness. imo, i'll just take whatever they give me & be happy about it. sometimes my PL750 guy didn't bring me anything in a couple days & he just thinks this week is all MG mats week.

A few quick questions. I've been alternating between the 3 melee styles; would it be better to focus on grinding one proficiency instead? It gets dull after a while, so I was wondering if a couple more proficiency points are worth it. Also, would it be a bad idea to use my materials/bindings on exquisite equipment? I'm asking because I have yet to get anything of a higher tier.

For example, at Max upgrade, 1 proficiency = 4/3/5 damage (1H/2H/DW). so 100 extra prof = 400/300/500 damage. then there's extra gains like block for 1h, parry for 2H, crits for DW. you can more about them on hereessentially, it's better to focus on 1 thing than be a jack of all trades master of none.

imo, i won't waste any bindings on Exq. i'd rather sell them to buy Mags. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) lastly, post more often. so you'll get more Exp/credits during the Dawn of the Day.

Use the spam thread too (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) iirc, there up to 100% exp bonus gain if accumulated 30 posts in 30 days. I read about that a while ago and quit being lurker. Not sure it really confirmed or not.

I'm not sure if that makes any sense, but I guess I'll go find a thread where I can mash my keyboard. Or I'll just stop caring about the Dawn of the Day bonus, because pretending to be active on a forum you don't really participate in seems idiotic to me.

Once per day is fine, just don't smash like 20 posts per day. Or you can be so active that you simply don't need it. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The Dawn give you 5% of EXP required to reach next level, so while it may not be so significant, it's still beneficial.

I give up on shade, I'm not willing to forge ADB on them. Experiment failed. I'll think I'll sell all my legendary shade gears.....
