QUOTE(EsotericSatire @ May 27 2014, 20:19)  I was interested in the DW battlecaster mage idea but the cost is too big. It would make it possible to get high parry, high resist, high evade but at the cost of around 30% reduction in my mage score even with high edb weapons and the loss of 5-10% dmg from potency.
You would need really specific gear to be even remotely worthwhile, but then there are better options unless you just wanted to be different.
Legendary edb rapier of battlecaster and Legendary edb waki of battlecaster with max edb, max parry and max mana conservation.
Legendary radiant phase gear and legendary/peerless frugal proficiency cotton boots.
Its like a not that good but different build possible for a rich bored player lol.
So, do you have any Battlecaster rapier and Wakizashi that are any good?

QUOTE(kos9494 @ May 28 2014, 21:47)  I just remembered that I got a (arguably a little better one) one not long ago. Maybe I won't be selling that now. Was putting 50k at my shop but nobody grabs it. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) yep, i'd go with it. you'll lose 200 ADB but you should also acquire a bunch of HP and some mitigations. surely worth a try (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) QUOTE(kos9494 @ May 28 2014, 21:47)  Also, talk about helmet, take a look at what our fellow 1H colleague found not long ago. <snip>

When do I get the Inferno spell? On the wiki it says at level 50, but I'm level 87 and still haven't gotten the ability.
Next to the level requirement it also mentions proficiency requirement 50?/500, but I don't know what this means.
What am I doing wrong here?

I think it means that your elemental proficiency needs to be at least 50.0 to unlock the new spell. On a side note, if I have a weapon with 44 base weapon damage and I put 5 bindings of slaughter on it, how much would the damage increase, is it 5% of 44?

http://ehwiki.org/wiki/spells#Table_LegendProf The minimum proficiency needed to access the spell and the maximum needed to get the highest bonuses you need 50 prof to unlock inferno QUOTE(Kazetenshi @ May 28 2014, 18:29)  On a side note, if I have a weapon with 44 base weapon damage and I put 5 bindings of slaughter on it, how much would the damage increase, is it 5% of 44?
no, it's a log formula QUOTE(yobi00 @ Mar 17 2014, 10:10)  It's been a while, so I might have mixed something up, but the base stat that is displayed in the equipment pop-up of an unforged item is actually composed of: CODE ( Base_Roll + Suffix_Roll + Quality_Bonus ) * Base_Multiplier The equipment ranges wiki page has more detail. The increase from forging works like this: CODE [ ( 1 + Forge_Gain ) * ( Base_Roll + Suffix_Roll ) + Quality_Bonus ] * Base_Multiplier The logarithmic formulas give the gain so just substitute Forge_Gain with "0.2*ln(0.1*forge_count+1)" or "0.28*ln(0.1*forge_count+1)" and you should be good to go (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) you'd use 0.28*ln(0.1*forge_count+1)*base stat to find out WD/ADB/MDB gain and 0.2*ln(0.1*forge_count+1)*base stat for everything else This post has been edited by something: May 29 2014, 00:43

At your level you don't The problem is you need to play a lot of rounds to keep having the chance to raise it but the problem is at your current level you will easily level up, basically you will level up much faster than you gain proficiency. So, right now you shouldn't worry about raising it quickly since it won't happen.

Well, essentially this is correct... but not complete. It's harder to level up offensive proficiencies than supportive ones... but still possible. Load up on just Mana potions... pick an item you have laying around... set your difficulty to IWBTH and then go into the Item World. The first round should only have one or two monsters. Alternate Weaken & Fireblast... cast Cure when you need it. Be sure you've got Protection & Regen up and SS too, so you can avoid as much damage as possible. Focus & Defend sometimes, too. The first couple of rounds of IW will almost always be 1-3 monsters, so this tactic should be do-able for you. If it's too rough and you're casting Cure too often, flee and reduce difficulty to Battletoads. You won't increase skill quickly, but you will increase skill. ------------------------- BTW, Kos... I've got some Mag Power Gauntlets in my shop that have End... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Sometimes bid wars leave deep scars. yep. luckily i saw able to understand it with less amounts (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) iirc kos9494 had it worse, cuz it's a shade gauntlet and he ended up paying 2 Megacredits for it... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) Sucks to deal with trollbidders. now how do I mitigate this in my currenty empty Arcanum auction...?I've set it so they can only win one equip per person, and all others will go to their next valid bidders... Hmm, maybe I should set it so they have to register before the bidding? This post has been edited by LostLogia4: May 29 2014, 05:13

I'm paranoid about that, does it really occur in auctions?

Dunno. But if you're paranoid enough, you can stalk the item, the bidder and the seller in other auctions to see if there's any repeated offence. This post has been edited by holy_demon: May 29 2014, 06:11

-------------------------
More specifically, at your level you don't have Spark of Life, I think? Let alone SS. Definitely don't do this on IWTBH yet, and absolutely make sure your target is Weakened constantly. Flee if you see more than two monsters and come back again. And don't do this in an equip with higher than 'Fair' quality, or you'll just die anyway.

Hmm, I guess I might do just that when I got a few absurd bids in my auction. Sure my primary goal is to make some credits off my auction, but I would like the equips to go to those who deserves them (i.e. those who can make the most of them) whereas possible, but then again, pretty much anything goes in an auction. ... but hey, it's better than, say, Snowflake's all-pay auctions in catgril's forums or something which barely had good stuff compared to those at the lotto to go by and cost the Camarillas all of their daily-earned credits, right? Also, according to Stonycat, the catgirl forums is like a haunted house... This post has been edited by LostLogia4: May 29 2014, 06:56

To prevent me frequently asking how much I should sell a single equip (or if it's even worth selling) at the market, I'm gonna ask...
What's a good guideline for pricing equips relative to their stat ranges?
Some questions to guide you in answering: - How close do each stat have to be to each range (Exquisite, Legendary, Magnificent, Peerless) for you to consider selling that equip at 100k, 500k, and 1M+ price ranges? - How many stats should be above the normal range for something to break out of, say 10k price range in your opinion? - How much should an Exquisite Estoc of Balance at the Exquisite range in all stats sell for?
Requirements such as melee equipment having STR, DEX, crit, accuracy, damage and mage having STR, INT, WIS, damage, crit, accuracy are implied.
And a more personal question...
- What stats can make a piece of equipment at the Exquisite and above qualities 1) salvage material, 2) something you want to give away, or 3) sell at 5-10k?

The Experts thread is no different from any other spam threads, we all just pretend it's a little bit more constructive. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It'd be best if you post a link to the specific equipment because your question too vague to give any definite answer.

Might be the wrong place, but I may as well try.
Noticed a weird screen-flash every the the hentaiverse window updates itself, hasn't happened before but since coming back it's been really obnoxious.
In the process of wiping cache/extensions/trying other browsers, but did anyone else run into this?

Wow, that's such a complicated'ly detailed question, except that there's no definitive answer for such a board question. To make this board-based question simple, just get the HV Shop system script thingie and it should've give you a good enough pricing to call it a day. For melee weapons, equip prefixes is more important than stats, EXmax, Magmax and Legmax ADB can be cashed in for a premium. Ethereal weapons prefered, especially those with holystrike/darkstrike. For staves, anything other than destruction staves or matching elemental prefix/suffixes is subpar and won't sell a lot. For armors, the bandwagon is on phase, shade and power armors, phases with high EDB sells a lot, slaugther armors with high ADB would sells a lot as well. Keep this in mind and call it a day for your board question. QUOTE(Kanery @ May 29 2014, 13:33)  Might be the wrong place, but I may as well try.

Happens when either you started using loads of heavy scripts (HVSTAT is the biggest offender) or when the network started getting shitty really.
