So it means we now have bad drops in fest and good in arena/encounters?

That's always been the case. GF is for crystal farming.

Question... has anyone managed to obtain a 3 PABs Exq or Mag heavy/power/cloth/phase equipment this patch?

Yes. http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=aa65b3f637

why dani soulbinding buckler (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I guess because it's from FoS... isn't it?

or simply just for the lulz (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It was completely same. But now maybe not...i ll test later.

So it means we now have bad drops in fest & arena; and good in encounters only.

Correct it for you (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Is there a way to know the base stats of items before item world? I have a few that I wasted some stamina on prior to the current patch, and want to see how they are before I sell them.

Mouseover the stat.

Looks like the new bucklers could be a good/cheap alternative to the force shields commonly used by 1H users

I found this shield Magnificent Agile Buckler of the Barrier and it has near MMax block of Force Shields but with less hassle required to buy DMMs to upgrade them.

You do lose a bit of MMI/PMI and some piercing/crushing/slashing mitigations but you have a lot less interference with bucklers

New Bucklers doesn't have the innate mitigations anymore. but the increased stats (Including Block) makes up for it quite well. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Force shield also have no specific mitigation, at least I haven't found one with specific mitigation yet.

yup. it may really be a good choice now. suddenly i feel like having wasted 800k worth of matrixes or so (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

yup. afterall, mitigations are useful only when block doesn't proc. if block is already high to begin with (and forging it isn't a problem anymore) mitigations are less or more useless - especially because there are added multiplicatively. the missing PAB (even if it is STR) is more important at this point

don't know in this current patch, but surely they had stoneskin, dampening and deflection suffixes until 0.81

I should make it more clear. I haven't find one with natural specific mitigation yet. Only the one with corresponding suffix can have specific mitigation. So it is same as buckler.

What are you talking about? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Force Shield didn't have any natural mitigations even before this patch. Mitigations only came from Prefix/Suffix.

Not rly. I tried 60% block with almost 67% protection and die on 850 round with 2 pots left. Probably i d not even finished it. But i did with 53% block and 77% protection. And because very good defense needs only in fest than it has sense to have exactly pmi with mitg.

But its a bit offtop, because Mmax without burden and interference is very-very good.
I think so...probably. With new pots for melee mp doesnt looks big problem. Maybe they can even use mp theft.

Btw, new force also has higher block. I got this one yest. Its something like L-2 as i remember.

wonderful. so, now there's no meaning in bounding even my force shield (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

At least you knew before you already soul fragmented it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Hmm... judging from the stats of the new EQs, it does seem like they are better in terms of overall stats but the tradeoff is you lose a PAB most of the time unless it is a legendary and non light/shade armor.

Which means more grinding for the new equips (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

i don't really mind losing a few STR if i can build a protection/warding set with the same firepower of an old ~SMax slaughter. well, maybe something like 50SP, but apart for that... it'd be a little worst if DEX or END were missing, i guess

So, uhh... is in general monsters have higher health now or it was because current nintendo is harder than the old nintendo? It was ~1k turns doing TnT arena before 0.82 but now it takes over 2k turns for me (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)


Also, since the overall stats are generally better now, is it better to wait for new equipment instead of binding the old one?

i think so...

need a script to get bb code of items/equipment that works

EDIT:
Nvm I found one (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (HV Item Manager)

Haven't been able to test with a lot of things, and it's probably still missing a few bits, but I've updated the Equipment Comparison script to work not face-plant with the new patch.

IMPORTANT: Note that the script's base values have not been changed, since as far as I know they have not been deciphered just yet. This means that new equips will still be measured against the old base values. Keep this in mind if you try to use this to rate new equips.

The main reason I'm releasing this now is for the people who want to use it to compare new stuff against their current equips ('q' key), which I think works correctly. Keys 'w' and 't' also work, as do 'e' and 'b', but again, they're using the old base values. Attempts to open wiki pages ('r' key) don't always go to the right page, but I'd need more examples to figure out why; 'f' is almost too simple to break.

As always, bugs reports/fixes/etc are always welcome, and I'd be surprised if there aren't any in there.

mouse over the equipment and press 'F' to generate the bb code for the equipment. you can also use it when you are viewing the equipment on its own web page.

Changelog

- 1.4.4:
- compatibility with HV0.82
- 1.4.3:
- uncheck equip after doing bazzaar/moogle/reforge/salvage
- unlock before moogling, as item locked state is carried over between owners
- auto-unlock and relock item when reforging.
- double-check for bazzaaring and salvaging IWed equips

HV Item Manager should also have a generate BB code function but have not tried it myself.
