[X] My Assistant

Well, it's better than daily "suggestions" from someone who doesn't even play the game.

I'm happy to see qw3rty67 disappear as well. However, I can't help but wonder if EsotericSatire was inspired by SAO's Death Gun or something similar, in a case of life imitating art.

Q1
Which monster is likely to bring more daily gifts than the others?
Monster A: Giant, PL750, 100% of the chaos upgrades are maxed.
Monster B: Giant, PL1005, 80% of the chaos upgrades are maxed.
Monster C: Giant, PL1499, only Scavenger is maxed.

Basically I'd like to know if high PL is able to compensate the deficiency of chaos upgrades, since a legion of PL1005 monsters is still pricy even though the market price of crystal pack has slumped.
My previous plan was to build an army of PL550 ~ PL750 monsters with only Scavenger maxed; however, according to some monster trainers I discussed with, it seems that the gifting ability of low PL monsters has shrunk by a lot recently.
Possible causes:
- The gifting mechanism has been changed. (just a rumor)
- Players have become stronger due to the equipment revamp.
For that reason I've decided to go for either low PL monsters with full chaos upgrades, or high PL monsters without many chaos upgrades.

Q2
Is there anything special about the "Wind" physical damage type of an Elemental monster?
This player has 26 PL810+ monsters, while 25 of them are Elementals with the "Wind" physical attack:

Q3
If you are stuck in the last round of PF DwD and the RE link is gonna expire in 10 seconds, will you flee from DwD to play the RE? (Assumed that you can't defeat 3 Dragonkins in 10 seconds)

Q4
Do all obsolete artifacts behave totoally the same as a Precursor Artifact when shrined? (20% Hath, 0-10% AP, 15% Last Elixir, 15-20% ED, 40-45% Crystals)
Or do they still generate what they used to?
Are the rewards of obsolete artifacts from different years the same?

Q5
Cats Lover suggest the skipping of the first few arenas when clearing arenas.
Do you guys think that the arena clear bonuses can't compensate the staminas spent?
(Personally I skip the first three arenas, but am still able to do both FSM and TT&T daily)

I think RE link not expired that fast , djack (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Looks like my English failed this time.
I know an RE link expires in 30 minutes after being generated, but I'm talking about the situation where the remaining time is 10 seconds.

sorry , it's my fault than (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

nah , I think it's better just finish DwD than 1 RE (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Q2 , maybe personal choice/taste (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Q4 , yes , it's same I think (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Q5 , depend on the person itself (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)
I still prefer finish all arenas since I'm rarely doing any GF run now thanks to my ping problem (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Q1: Considering the cost , I think B is the best choice. A hardly give HG. C is too expensive.
Q3: I don't think DwD worth the time, at least for now.
Q5: Arena on the first page not worth it. Start from the top of the second page until T&T should be more efficient.

I do them all just to get tokens

Missing 1 RE is no big deal. But DwD can only be played once per day. So I'd prefer to finish DwD.

I play all of them. Even the very 1st Arena (5 rounds) often gives me Chaos/Blood Tokens (but not always). I say every Arena is worth it.

My connection problem is now fixed. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

how long does it take to transfer BTC from other wallets to EH wallet? 24 to 48 hours?

how long does it take to transfer BTC from other wallets to EH wallet? 24 to 48 hours?

From what I've seen, just a few minutes. The validation of the transaction, however, happens for hours (Like any other normal BTC transaction) (in the background) after that. In other words, you can immediately use the BTC after the transaction.

hmm... someone brought some BTC using real money in order to sell to me for some HV credits and supposedly he need to wait at least 24 hours - 48 hours till the transaction is complete...

Yes. Regular BTC transactions need to be "Validated" before they can be used further. But when you're transferring it to EH wallet, you can use it immediately after the transfer to the EH wallet (Though the Validation precess still happen in the background for hours). Think of it like a "Check": You give Check, you get service, THEN your check is verified. While for regular BTC transactions, the Check is verified at first.

what do you mean by "Regular BTC transactions"? real money to BTC?

what do you mean by "Regular BTC transactions"? real money to BTC?

There are two types of BTC transaction:

1. Special Transaction: A BTC is generated through Mining and is awarded to your wallet. In this case, the validation happens as the part of the mining. Meaning, once you get the BTC, you can immidiately use it.

2. Regular Transaction: Transaction of BTC from one wallet to another wallet. Just like a regular money transfer. In any of these regular transactions, a validation happens after the transfer (Which can take from a few minutes to several hours to finish), and until the validation finishes, that BTC can't be further used.

I meant the 2nd case.

hmm... someone brought some BTC using real money in order to sell to me for some HV credits and supposedly he need to wait at least 24 hours - 48 hours till the transaction is complete...

With CoinBase, at least, you need to wait some number of business days normally. But if you link your credit card as well, they allow near-instant transactions, and the BTC will appear and be transferrable after just a few minutes.

I'd go with Superlatanium's explanation. Many BTC exchanges take time to process fiat deposits for anti-fraud reasons, for a person to review them, or whatever. After that, trading the fiat for BTC is pretty quick. Subsequently, withdrawing the BTC from the exchange can take time for similar anti-fraud reasons. I think this is the most likely area that would cause a 24 hr delay.


"Regular" BTC transactions are broadcast and will be known to all nodes on the network within seconds. But, they could still be double-spent, which is fairly trivial to do until the transaction has been properly recorded in the ledger, known as the blockchain. A new block is generated approximately every 10 minutes (could be more or less too). The miners who generates this new block can choose which transactions he wants to include in his newly generated block. He is normally paid an incentive to include the transaction, ie. a transaction fee that is included in the transaction. If the transaction fee is not offered, or below standard, it may take a long time before the transaction is eventually recorded in a block. Or the transaction may eventually be considered void if it is not included in the ledger for a very long time.

Depending on how certain the recipient wants to be that the transaction will not eventually end up getting reversed, he might demand confirmations - ie, that the transaction should be recorded in a block on the blockchain ledger, and that the ledger confirming this transaction must continue to grow by more blocks thereafter. The gold standard for high-value transactions is 6 confirmations (but this is really up to the recipient), or approximately 60 minutes.

I just realized that the Spike shield abilities are put into the protection spell >,<

is there any particular use for each of them ? or is one of them better than the others? the additional dmg is not really high but it seems like they have extra use on the enemies

it just personal (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I use fire spike since my weapon have cold strike (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

for shade , wind spike is good since it reduce mobs hit chance (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

i use frost because my main weapon has wind strike. but i don't see so many difference if compared to fire spike. probably 10% mitigation against fire would be more useful, but i don't keep track of dragonkins' attacks

like I said , personal taste (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

get my first 2H leg in this patch , so now I only need leg staff drop (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
