QUOTE(silverhail @ Aug 7 2015, 22:25)  Now that salvaging rare armor gives you bonus Energy Cells, LotD might not be so bad. And getting common-tier legendary equipment when it could've been rare-tier legendary equipment is never fun. The new LotD is far from useless, but it's still the weakest of the four drop chance trainings and you definitely shouldn't kill yourself maxing it out.
Speaking of training: the wiki says QUOTE Scavenger, Quartermaster, and Archaeologist training affect the base chances of drops. Base chance of getting any loot at all is 10%; maxing out Scavenger can bring this up to 12.5%. So this means if I spend enough credits to raise my Scavenger level to 50, my max odds of a drop is 12.5%? Is LoTD like this also? I'm not sure how spending all those credits for a 2.5% increase in loot drops even makes sense. I'm not sure how it makes sense spending any credits on it at all. Might as well go with the base of 10% and keep the money. Do Quartermaster and Archaeologist all operate on the same principle (albeit with 5% or 10%, respectively)?

yup. though there seems to be a sort of lower threshold under that it's not realistic to see legendaries - for example, don't expect them at LotD 2 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)[edit2]: outdated info (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) [edit]: btw, is it worth to try the gamble with lotteries nowadays? 50 chaos tokens seems quite appealing of a prize, but i still see the same names among the winners, even with the max amount of tickets capped at 20k...

Imo the change was needed. At least this way you know you stand a equal shot at the lottery rather than getting bought out by someone who goes all in.

Right? QUOTE(teddy.bear @ Aug 8 2015, 11:58)  More potion usage and a bit less damage... depends how much you can stomach that and how much one's other Wis is forged. And it's still Mag Radiant Heimdall with good EDB and MDB, so it's certainly still nice.

true enough (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) QUOTE(Superlatanium @ Aug 8 2015, 14:08)  More potion usage and a bit less damage... depends how much you can stomach that and how much one's other Wis is forged.

which makes me think: what's the effect on MP Tank of the lack of, just saying, 70 WIS at lv350 with maxed 'MP Cloth' ability?

Great, currently all I have is some old gossamer pants, so if I do go back to holy it will certainly be an improvement.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) ) and if it's also the missing one, then you can still auction

Non-useful prefix? Probably not. Frugal/Charged/Mystic? Probably. Send it and see if anyone bids I guess.

WTS isn't really a good gauge of prices. auctions and WTB would be more accurate.

QUOTE(danixxx @ Aug 7 2015, 23:04)  i am 100% self drop (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) What about your FoS? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) QUOTE(Superlatanium @ Aug 7 2015, 23:49)  I did, a few times. It wasn't worth the trouble. When the schoolgirl already has 75% PMI reduction from PA, the effect of Imperil on top of that is too little to be worth it.
SGs have super high HP in high difficulty. So 100% PMI reduction instead of 75% PMI reduction does make a pretty good difference. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) QUOTE(Superlatanium @ Aug 7 2015, 23:49)  Are you saying the strikes from melee weapons do magical and not physical damage? That sounds very odd, what are you taking that from?
HV is one oddball of a game. Here we have monsters that can Cast physical attacks, or even use Physical Magic attack! (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) The Elemental strikes are also affected by monster's MMI, not by their PMI (Except of Void Strike). So reduction of MMI from Imperil is pretty good on SGs, as it directly increases the damage output of Elemental Strikes. On regular mobs you won't notice any major difference since they die too soon.

I'm not sure how spending all those credits for a 2.5% increase in loot drops even makes sense. I'm not sure how it makes sense spending any credits on it at all. Might as well go with the base of 10% and keep the money.
Do Quartermaster and Archaeologist all operate on the same principle (albeit with 5% or 10%, respectively)?
Not every training is like that. I heard LotD is also like Scavenger, and Archaeologist is truly x2 upon max training. Not sure about Quartermaster though.

I still spend 2 tickets per day for lotteries. 1 per weapon lottery, 1 per armor lottery. If the prize is very nice, I spend 100 tickets sometimes.

Magnificent Jade Phase Gloves of FreyrI tried to look in WTS, but saw items from 50k to 1m, i dont really know what cloth armour needs to be strong enough for usage,but i guess Wind is not the best Good EDB, the most important stat period, though most all other stats are in meh Sup-Exq range. At least it has 3 PABs. Also consider the level. It's at the right level for some people who are venturing into mage for the first time, which is good given the quality of the equip. Combining that and the amount of funds players of that level are likely to be able to spend, I'd say it's sellable for no more than 100k at the most, maybe 80k. That range of stats would have been worth significantly less in the past, but now it is rare to find an even OK Mag+ equip for a low level player. Wind is great, it's the most preferred element right after Holy. (And lower level players, like those who would be near the level of the item, would certainly prefer elemental like Wind over Holy due to mana costs and lack of forging/proficiency/good Wis on other gear)
