[X] My Assistant

Thank you! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Now how can you set your game when you buff your self you will see the time duration of the skill?

please and thank you (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Install a script to display it, like HVSTAT Slim.
It has some other stuffs like display gem, round counter, and etc.
HVSTAT Full version has a lot of functions including them, but may be a bit slow.

Yes, they have an unique name and you can only get them during that specific year's event.

Artifacts, if I remember correctly, usually Easter artifacts give less hath, but they have more chance of getting a stat bonus.
I've never shrined a Christmas artifact, as collectors are willing to pay good for them if you wait long enough. So, I dunno about those.

Trophies. The loot quality bonus and tier multiplier for almost everyone of them are unknown. According to the wiki the "Crystalline Galanthus" trophy (given in 2013 Easter) have a x10 Tier Multiplier (Platinum tickets and Noodlies have 5x)
So, I guess most of this special trophies are at least as good as a Platinum Ticket.

You can see most of the artifacts and trophies given in the Easter and Christmas events, along with trophies gotten by awards here: Obsolete Items

Interesting list of artifacts, thanks!

~76-78 (1 item)
~51-53 (2 item)
<50 , instant repair.

When cond% accidentally reaches 50%, "instant repair" is generally a good practice.
However, if the equip is a relatively unimportant part, say, boots or gauntlets,
one can wait till the cond% reaches 26%~40%, and then repair.
This can save some money, if one can bear with the degradation of that specific equip. (ex: in arenas with less than 50 rounds)
Btw, cond%==1% is the most cost-effective percentage to repair an equip, but of course no one's gonna wait that long. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Does anybody know if animeai is still alive...?

Easter Event is the only event that rewards you for playing HV (if you found the hidden "eggs") is one of a kind, and only happens once a year.

By the end of the year, around christmas, there are more special events, but this time you aren't required to play HV at all to be a part of them. We usually are gifted with some unique artifacts and trophies, also we can participate to the Anual E-Hentai Yuletide Lottery, and the award "ceremony" takes place.

Nice info. Thanks. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It's one thing if 1H going to be nerfed (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) , but I'm curious to what kind of buffs 2H and DW going to get if they want to "balance" things with 1H (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .

I'm waiting for that too. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

What about Mysterious Box and Tenbora's Box? What are their Tier Multiplier? Or do they always generate Leg Grade equipment?

Does anybody know if animeai is still alive...?

a week ago he was. he may be busy with work

What about Mysterious Box and Tenbora's Box? What are their Tier Multiplier? Or do they always generate Leg Grade equipment?

wiki says:

CODE

Mysterious box: Maxed quality multiplier, +5000 Loot Quality Bonus
Tenbora's Box: Maxed quality multiplier

but it's unknown what this quality multiplier should be (source). also, it seems it's suggested to keep the mysterious because of its loot bonus


[edit]: also, one question from me. apart from ethereal, what should be the best prefix/elemental strike to search in a rapier nowadays (considering i won't do SG very often)? dark for celestials? cold for arthropods and dragonkins? wind for dragonkins and giants?

holy for healing boost i guess.

holy for healing boost i guess.

which may allow me to take advantage of the blunted attack status whether i should cast ragnarok, or is it only reserved to holy spells rather than holy strike? and in this case, is there a way for the explode effect to not be so shitty? atm it deals something like 300 damage (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

experts, want to ask something.

to boost Cure, do I have to gain more holy proficiency, or +holy damage?

thanks x"D

holy EDB, which means hallowed weapon for melees or (every kind of staff with holy spell damage)/phase of heimdall for mages. forging with binding of heimdall is viable too (and also cheap!) to boost it.

holy prof is useful "only" to make supportive spells last longer/cost less, it doesn't boost cure

Question about spending slaughter bindings to gain most ADB

My 1H set

Legendary Fiery Rapier of Slaughter
Legendary Jade Force Shield of Deflection
Legendary Cobalt Power Helmet of Slaughter
Magnificent Power Armor of Slaughter
Magnificent Jade Power Gauntlets of Slaughter
Legendary Savage Power Leggings of Slaughter
Exquisite Savage Power Boots of Slaughter

From what point on is it more effective to put the slaughter bindings in the armor instead in the rapier?

+Holy Damage.

First time I hear of this, could you provide a source?

You will only deal a bit more damage with holy strike thanks to -25 holy res from blunted attack but it doesn't explode from melee attacks. The explosion is function of your total dark edb, dark resistance from the monster and his physical or magical mitigation (not really sure which one).

From what point on is it more effective to put the slaughter bindings in the armor instead in the rapier?

being it a logarithmic function the growth rate of ADB (as every other potencies) slowly decreases for every forge level more, so basically it depends on the value you assign to bindings of slaughter and how easy is for you to hoard them. for example (always referring to base) the first five levels will add +11%; the first 25 bindings will bring you to ~40% more ADB, thus adding 29%, while the second 25 will bring you "only" to 52%, thus adding only 12%.
if HG metal is unrelevant compared to (binding + actuator) cost we have:

• roughly +2.26%/level in the first 5 levels (no bindings needed, thus very interesting)
• average +1.16%/level in the lv5~30 range (first 25 bindings needed)
• average +0.48%/level in the lv30~55 range (second 25 bindings needed)

used 25 because it's the number of bindings on your rapier, no other particular reason. you can check intermediate situations with this formula.
also, i'm curious about one thing: they say fire strike is the most useless around and you're the first high-level fiery weapon user i see, so may i ask you why do you use it?

First time I hear of this, could you provide a source?

yep. basically it's only the more generic matter of magic proficiencies.

so basically that explode thing is for mages only, and it probably relies on your EDB. roger that, thanks.

I say Cold because it's the most multi purpose strike for 1H. (considering you won't do SG very often)

Does ADB on armor provide the same effective damage as ADB on weapons? If I understand you right, then I should evenly distribute my slaughter bindings on my set to get most ADB, right?

I'm using a fiery rapier as it was the best slaughter one I had when I began to use a rapier on my mainhand. That was before 1H became so popular and when 1H weapons still had 4 PABs. Mine has good stats and works great for 1H. So why spend millions on a new rapier in order to get a different elemental strike which would get me (???) more secondary strike damage? The most important damage is the void damage or not?

Now you can buy leg slaughter rapiers of all kind if you have enough credits. Back then I didn't see many leg slaughter rapiers as axes were more popular then.

for the second question i'd say yes, but better to wait for other experts too since i'm not sure about the first

roger that, i supposed so. actually, that bonus END is quite interesting...

...Supportive prof will boost the duration and reduce the cost of Supportive spells, not Holy prof.

my bad. there was in facebook a photo of a friend of mine with a nice view of her (really nice!) legs, i guess i got distracted (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Question about spending slaughter bindings to gain most ADB

My 1H set

Legendary Fiery Rapier of Slaughter
Legendary Jade Force Shield of Deflection
Legendary Cobalt Power Helmet of Slaughter
Magnificent Power Armor of Slaughter
Magnificent Jade Power Gauntlets of Slaughter
Legendary Savage Power Leggings of Slaughter
Exquisite Savage Power Boots of Slaughter

From what point on is it more effective to put the slaughter bindings in the armor instead in the rapier?

Question
If Mantra64 (Lv.438) has 1x Binding of Slaughter, which equip should he forge the ADB to be the most cost-effective?

Solution
Symbols used:

• A1: The original ADB of an equip Mantra64 sees.
• A2: The ADB of an equip Mantra64 will see after forging.
• C: The forge cost of an equip.

We need to calculate every C/(A2-A1) of the equips, and the equip with the minimum value is the most cost-effective one to forge.

I'm going to do the math based on Mantra64's current level (Lv.438), the current equip statuses, and the following assumed information.

• 1x Binding of Slaughter = 150,000c
• 1x Mid-Grade Metals = 550c
• 1x High-Grade Metals = 3,000c
• 1x Regular Catalyst = 1,000c
• 1x Robust Catalyst = 2,500c
• 1x Vibrant Catalyst = 5,000c
• The rapier needs 1x Vibrant Catalyst, 1x Binding of Slaughter, 1x Mid-Grade Metals, and 5x High-Grade Metals to upgrade.
• The helmet needs 1x Vibrant Catalyst, 1x Binding of Slaughter, 1x Mid-Grade Metals, and 5x High-Grade Metals to upgrade.
• The armor needs 1x Regular Catalyst, 1x Binding of Slaughter, and 5x Mid-Grade Metals to upgrade.
• The gauntlets need 1x Regular Catalyst, 1x Binding of Slaughter, and 5x Mid-Grade Metals to upgrade.
• The leggings need 1x Vibrant Catalyst, 1x Binding of Slaughter, 1x Mid-Grade Metals, and 5x High-Grade Metals to upgrade.
• The boots need 1x Regular Catalyst, 1x Binding of Slaughter, and 5x Mid-Grade Metals to upgrade.

Calculations are shown below.

Rapier
A1 = (1 + 438 / 16.67) * (44.48 * (1 + 0.2 * ln(0.1 * 30 + 1))) = 1549.545761426977 ~ 1550
A2 = (1 + 438 / 16.67) * (44.48 * (1 + 0.2 * ln(0.1 * 31+ 1))) = 1555.5370814342273 ~ 1556
C = 1*5000+1*150000+1*550+5*3000 = 170550
=> C/(A2-A1) = 28425

Shield
Out of the picture.

Helmet
A1 = (1 + 438 / 16.67) * (20.50 * (1 + 0.2 * ln(0.1 * 5 + 1))) = 604.4739990932519 ~ 604
A2 = (1 + 438 / 16.67) * (20.50 * (1 + 0.2 * ln(0.1 * 6 + 1))) = 611.691113104232 ~ 612
C = 1*5000+1*150000+1*550+5*3000 = 170550
=> C/(A2-A1) = 21318.75 ~ 21319

Armor
A1 = (1 + 438 / 16.67) * (27.28 * (1 + 0.2 * ln(0.1 * 5 + 1))) = 804.392716842142 ~ 804
A2 = (1 + 438 / 16.67) * (27.28 * (1 + 0.2 * ln(0.1 * 6 + 1))) = 813.9967592918757 ~ 814
C = 1*1000+1*150000+5*550 = 153750
=> C/(A2-A1) = 15375

Gauntlets
A1 = (1 + 438 / 16.67) * (17.91 * (1 + 0.2 * ln(0.1 * 16 + 1))) = 581.8423717073459 ~ 582
A2 = (1 + 438 / 16.67) * (17.91 * (1 + 0.2 * ln(0.1 * 17 + 1))) = 585.5295314324586 ~ 586
C = 1*1000+1*150000+5*550 = 153750
=> C/(A2-A1) = 38437.5 ~ 38438

Leggings
A1 = (1 + 438 / 16.67) * (23.06 * (1 + 0.2 * ln(0.1 * 10 + 1))) = 716.1473839373062 ~ 716
A2 = (1 + 438 / 16.67) * (23.06 * (1 + 0.2 * ln(0.1 * 11 + 1))) = 722.2847535368701 ~ 722
C = 1*5000+1*150000+1*550+5*3000 = 170550
=> C/(A2-A1) = 28425

Boots
A1 = (1 + 438 / 16.67) * (16.12 * (1 + 0.2 * ln(0.1 * 5 + 1))) = 475.322969043084 ~ 475
A2 = (1 + 438 / 16.67) * (16.12 * (1 + 0.2 * ln(0.1 * 6 + 1))) = 480.9980850361084 ~ 481
C = 1*1000+1*150000+5*550 = 153750
=> C/(A2-A1) = 25625

The values of C/(A2-A1) are sorted as follows, from small to large.

• Armor: 15375
• Helmet: 21319
• Boots: 25625
• Rapier: 28425
• Leggings: 28425
• Gauntlets: 38438
• Shield: Out of the picture.

Answer
Mantra64 should forge his Magnificent Power Armor of Slaughter.
