log(3330 + Str* 2 + Dex , 1.0003)

How to count this?i know about Log,but can't understand this part ",1.0003"
What is it?

This sounds odd. Is it possible for a stunned monster to attack you (such that you can counter-attack it)?

Good point, although applying the stun proc to something already stunned doesn't refresh the duration or apply it again., that condition is never fulfilled with 1h counter-attacks.

Log base.

[en.wikipedia.org] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_%28exponentiation%29

You're probably used to "ln", for which the base is e, or ordinary "log", for which the base is (usually implied to be) 10. Here, it's 1.0003.

Does Imperil and Penetrated Armor stacks?

Do forum posts only affect dawn of new day exp or does it affect battle exp as well?

You bought that mother fucker off the bazaar???

Some guys have all the luck.........

When i'm not in combat, i browse the bazaar every 10min or so. u can call it a disorder lol.
Strangely. Most of my current equips comes from the bazaar.
I also check the item shop since recently i bought a 'Crystal Snowman' from there.

I've noticed recently that I am no longer able to reliably clear REs on Nintendo difficulty, and having difficulty progressing though the arena, and I am not quite sure what I can do to fix that. my current strategy is to keep as many things stunned as possible, and if not stunning, focusing the enemies down one by one to slow the rate at which I am taking damage, using cure when it is possible to do so without wasting its potential heals, stats
gear the only changes I can make without losing out on significant stats are swapping the club http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=15ff4712f1
for an axe
http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=f2e610657d
cotton gloves that I bought rather cheap to see if set bonuses were any good,
http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=6474086933
for plate gloves
http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=d674307342
and leather pants
http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=051866b525
for plate greaves
http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=4c89d6c787
or cotton pants
http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=541668cea1
what should I do to progress?

err , don't mix cloth , plate and leather (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Just use 1 type , either full heavy or full light set (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Cloth for mage & you will get defeat alot using mage style at low lvl (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Q1. Given my equips, I think the most cost-effective upgrades right now would be getting a better rapier and power greaves. What upgrades should follow afterwards and should I soulfuse anything here?

Q2. How do I see an equip's pre-forge stats? Also, where can I find

Q3. How much isthis approximately worth?

Q4. Is spirit shield mostly useless until higher levels? I have only seen its activation a few times since lvl 200.

(My equips)
Exq Ethereal Rapier of Slaughter
Mag Onyx Force Shield of Warding
Leg Onyx Power Helmet of Warding
Exq Power Armor of Protection
Exq Power Gauntlets of Warding
Exq Plate Greaves of Protection
Exq Power Boots of Protection

spirit shield is the best. wait until you meed some high PL monster., also max your spirit shield ability first.

no stun

Hmm. Wiki entry for fighting styles also says that counter-attack has a chance to stun. No idea what the precise chance it.

@mattttt96, also invest ability points into the chosen armor type (either light or heavy for melee), slot those abilities into the rows at the top of the ability page, build up your proficiency in the armor type, and you will find your survivability improving greatly.

I always thought its 100% chance. Well, its not very hard to check.
78 counters. 61 stun. +- and because i got 78%, than its probably 75% cap.

Q4. Is spirit shield mostly useless until higher levels? I have only seen its activation a few times since lvl 200.

Spirit shield is mostly useful only at lower levels. After 350, it's probably only useful (drains a significant amount of spirit) against FSM, the schoolgirls, and a very tiny number of normal monsters. But, on lower levels, you also have a higher max-HP-damage cap, which means that only very heavily damaging attacks drain spirit - but when that happens (FSM, schoolgirls, many Sprites and Celestials), you'll be very very happy it drains spirit and not even more HP.

Some even whisper you loose forge XP equivalent to that you forged on the salvaged item... So its not that great loss.

it was true until a few patches ago. now it doesn't happen anymore

If you tend to have multiple sets, have credits to spend ready.

aye-aye (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

bazaar is underestimated. i found a few upgrades as well, prior to level-bound patch. namely a mag shade of shadowdancer, an exq power armor with SMax damage, interesting obsoletes... obviously not the best of the best, but surely enough to close a set while waiting for better gears. and surely cheap enough (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

too bad that now with that account-bound shit it's almost dead. as if level-bound wasn't already a pain in the ass to deal with (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Does Imperil and Penetrated Armor stacks?

yes. but PA already lower mitigations so much that imperil's effect isn't visible

Do forum posts only affect dawn of new day exp or does it affect battle exp as well?

only dawn

Exq Ethereal Rapier of Slaughter
Mag Onyx Force Shield of Warding

rapier seems good enough for now. with IW10 it will be even better. go for greaves

Does Imperil and Penetrated Armor stacks?

Yes, up to -100%.

Do forum posts only affect dawn of new day exp or does it affect battle exp as well?

It affects battle exp as well.

It affects battle exp as well.

I thought the same, but this was brought up a few months ago, and IIRC it was said that it only affects Dawn XP. Wiki isn't reliable enough, and it's too difficult to test individually (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Oh, ok. I haven't tested it, tbh.

Actually i have been away for a few days (5 days or so) and of course didn't connect into the game or the forum.
Then when i finally could, i opened the forum first (did not post anything) and after 1 hour or so, i opened the main site. Got me full exp/credits/gp.
Same the next day (visited the forum, but did not post anything, still got full 1st visit bonus).

Since patch 0.83 (?) just one post per month is sufficient to get the full dawn bonus. If you haven't posted in a while though, it may take more than one day before you start getting the full dawn bonus for the next month.

is a oak staff of heimdall better than a katalox staff of destruction?

kind of surprised in the lack of interest for the Peerless Ethereal Katalox Staff of Destruction in the lottery.
