[X] My Assistant

I was reading the skills page, and was wondering about some things:What does the 2nd part mean?
Either niten ichiryu should have more than 1 skill, either you should be able to use skills from others style in niten ichiryu?Which is it?Of course last possibility is that this sentence is at the wrong place or is just wrong?

This would mean a skill do between 2% (multiplier:1) and 10% (multiplier:5) of a normal attack damage.
I admit that I don't pay close attention to the log, but I feel like skills are not so pitifully weak.

For Ninten Ichiryu style, you need 100 in both DW and 2H to unlock the skill.

For skills, there is a Overcharge factor of 0.02, ie. with 100 OC, you deal 2x damage, 5x with 250 OC. I just checked the 1H and the skill multiplier seems to be accurate for the first two skills.

I want to ask what is the rounddown using in the Repair Costs formular?

Well, rounddown rounds the result down to the nearest integer. It's basically throwing away everything after the decimal point.

In the catalyst example, 1 catalyst is required for every 25% (or part thereof) drop in equipment condition.

More random questions! (bear with me i'm a noob (IMG:[forum.everyeye.it] http://forum.everyeye.it/invision/public/style_emoticons/default/will2.gif) )

Does difficulty setting affects item worlds?

Likewise, does difficulty setting affects the token drop chance? I want to battle Invisible Pink Unicorn and i didn't see a Token of Blood drop in forever (usually playing on Hell difficulty)

Weapons with elemental strikes; does increasing elemental proficiency increases the damage of elemental strikes? (or even spell damage for that particular element)

Is it worthy to train Assimilator, seeing that it costs a lot of credits? (I'm still in the range of 200-300k credits max)

Speaking of rapiers, I didn't know that rapiers with Smax are so tough to find. If I interpret the item script correctly, Superlatanium, Scremaz and Dan's rapiers are WD 38.49, 39.38, 36.79 respectively. Is the Derived Base Max value in the wiki = Smax? ie, SMax WD for rapier of slaughter is 40.88?

How would this rapier evaluate?

WD = S+2.4 / E-0.6 looks slightly worse than the Emax that I was recommended, but seems like it should be good enough?
But, PA = 19% looks rather low? Does the 6 turns make up for that?
Parry seems a bit lot. Parry is good of course, but does it really matter?
PABs look fine to me.

It's a nice rapier. The parry is a bit low but everything else is good, and it's Hallowed, too. 19% proc chance is okay. Don't forget that you proc with crits too. With a crit chance of 35% and 25% proc chance, you have 51.25% chance of procing, and with 19% proc chance it only drops to 47.35%.

I want to ask what is the rounddown using in the Repair Costs formular?

For example:
rounddown(3.14) = 3
rounddown(1) = 1
rounddown(2.72) = 2

I advise you to repair at condition 80~76 or 60~51 btw.

Does difficulty setting affects item worlds?

Yes. And the higher the difficulty, the more pxp you get upon clear.

Likewise, does difficulty setting affects the token drop chance? I want to battle Invisible Pink Unicorn and i didn't see a Token of Blood drop in forever (usually playing on Hell difficulty)

I don't think so. I advise you to keep your tokens for fighting FSM btw, Noodles are much more valuable.

Weapons with elemental strikes; does increasing elemental proficiency increases the damage of elemental strikes? (or even spell damage for that particular element)

No. No.

Is it worthy to train Assimilator, seeing that it costs a lot of credits? (I'm still in the range of 200-300k credits max)

No. It's kinda useless in the end. Don't train it further than lvl 3 or so (mine is at lvl 2).

I just want to battle IPU once to get the arena clear bonus (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) i'll be sure to hoard some tokens after that though.

Thanks for all the answers (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

PA=19% isn't so bad. and 6 turns is a very good duration (max being 7), it allows you to surely stack, thus dealing more damage.
yes, parry is always nice.
DEX is really high (which is good), STR is decent. for heavy users, consider AGI only as a source of SP points
also, you may want to forge holy EDB a bit to raise the cure bonus since it's cheap. just saying (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

How valuable is butcher?
In my very limited experience with IW, I only got swift strike and fatality. Thinking of resetting it.

ADB is always nice to have. but personally i care more about fatality and butcher as second - since crit damage cannot be forged, salvage-prefixed armors are espensive, all the buffs in 1H style raise your crit chance further (why not taking advantage of this then? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) and 5 butchers give a small increase in total ADB. but having F5/B4 or F4/B5 is quite hard, so you'd better choose to prioritize one of the two stats, go for IW10 and taking whatever else comes meanwhile

do it at normal difficulty with all the buffs/debuffs/scrolls/whatever you can think of then (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

salvage-prefixed armors

Does it give more scraps upon salvaging it? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Well, rounddown rounds the result down to the nearest integer. It's basically throwing away everything after the decimal point.

yup. wa~ay more than what you could ever think (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I have cleared for the first time the arena "End of Days" and got a lot of Trophies. What is better... selling them to the Bazaar or trying the luck at the Shrine?

Thanks

Neither, unless you're feeling really lucky - better to sell to high level players. Lower level players need credits much more than they need the slight chance of a great random equip they can sell.

I think Dani pays the highest price for trophies ATM. Find his thread in WTS.

Unless you really need the credits now, you might wait until you have a whole lot of trophies from a week or more to send them, since sending everything is a bit tedious. (or you could use a script. there's probably one out there that makes it easier)

Sell them to danixxx.

Karma doesn't do anything, right? I was thinking it could be useful to help players judge which other players are trustworthy but I'm not seeing anywhere to view another player's karma. Is it just there to make you feel better about yourself?

Thank you very much!

Another question... I checked this item (http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php?eid=59653446&key=3cc5f260f9) on the equipment scaling calculator and then compared the stats with the ranges on the wiki. Few stats seem to be capped and others almost at their max. Is it worth something?

Reindeer antlers valued 300.000c... oh god... used in the shrine during X-mas holiday and got a "Superior" useless item... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

Yeah Karma is meaningless these days outside of being another way of sending someone a short message (if they actually bother checking their Karma log). Karma used to affect mod power and was shown on the forums on posts above awards but it's meaningless these days. I'm surprised they haven't simply removed the whole system at this point.

Thank you very much!

With a better WIS, some AGI, and a better prof, it would. But as it is, I wouldn't use it.

wow, i was once in for the mag hallow rapier in that grand auction at 1m then lost my confidence. Hope i was right.
