Isn't it? Sorry, I thought Compact Battle 2.0 script + latest reloader will make a speed boost, am I wrong? My calculation back ago shows that two of them make a battle a little faster, so I just use them both without knowing how exactly they work together. So, you said that really speed boost in this case will not be? =(
Unless you're removing a significant number of duplicate lines present in both scripts when combining them (which is not the case, right?), the same amount of code is being run, so there would not be any change when other variables are properly accounted for.
100 lines in 2 separate scripts vs 200 lines in a single script - if those 200 are just the first two scripts on top of each other, then there's no difference, it's still 200 in total no matter what you do, if execution order is preserved.

Now, if we were talking about official .js used as page resources like <script src ..>, it's true that having everything consolidated into as few files as possible would help, because it could mean 1 server ping and 1 file to be downloaded rather than 10 separate ones before the page fully loads successfully - but that's a network issue, which is a non-factor for userscripts.

For userscripts I'd prefer keeping everything separate because it's (1) easier to update and tweak and (2) @include can easily be used on a per-script basis

The deal is Battle Compact 2.0. is pure CSS file that makes battle... erm... compact:
[s019.radikal.ru] (IMG:[s019.radikal.ru] http://s019.radikal.ru/i619/1603/70/957163e1eb7et.jpg)
Using one converting tool I managed to convert this CSS to script file. So Battle Compact script is more or less - "CSS in script's shape".
Reloader on other hand is pure script file.

And I have installed them both not merged in single file ^^ By saying "merged" I mean "launch them in same time", sorry my English is hilariously bad =(

I was wondering, if i use only 2 scripts, will merging them give any boost to my t/s?
CSS/JS converting is an entirely different issue, yeah.

Ohh, mybad - dont keep attention on conversation =)

Here is my question for experts - is this any tricks when exactly I should to repair my gears? For now on, I repair my equips when their condition put down below 50%, but maybe there is one more point when I can repair them to save some material, to max out effective of repairing or something like that? Maybe I need to reapir them when condition drop drop below 70% or other mark? Or there is no any real differences and I should repair when time have come?

No. Regardless of the meta setup, it's still A + B lines being parsed and executed regardless. Well, I guess if they're both large and have a lot of duplicate code that can be cut when merging, it might give little benefit, but that situation is quite unlikely.


Oh ok, no need to trouble myself then.

I normally repair when its ~80% but considering materials are free, I don't think you should worry too much about repair costs.

Yes. The ideal point to repair is at 51% (or maybe 50%, or maybe max_condition / 2 + 1) or so. If the equip requires energy cells, then the ideal point might be somewhere up to ~53%, depending on where the break point is for the next used energy cell (eg. might wish to repair at 52% and 32 scrap and 10 energy cell rather than at 51% and 33 scrap and 11 energy cell).

Something close to there. Reason is, repair costs are (1 + (function_of_equipment_condition)). So, for instance, repairing at 99% would be very very wasteful. Repairing at 90% would also be wasteful, only less so. Etc - so you want to delay repairing as long as possible, for the most part.

**But**, while this is the ideal point, it's not really something to even think about or plan much around. One might spend 5 seconds every few battles calculating stuff while looking at equipment condition, which for someone like me means the opportunity cost would be something like 5*2*50=500 credits in exchange for the benefit of possibly saving 85c or so here or there. So what I do is I never even really look at my equipment condition. When I want to do some battles, I do them, and if I happen to see "Weapon Damage" or "Armor Damage" afterwards, I repair. Too unimportant to look at unless one happens to already be on the equipment screen, at least for me.

Nothing is free. (If you find someone selling repair materials for 0c, please let us know, I'm sure everyone would appreciate it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif))

I just realized the latest prize won in the armor lottery had max potency tier.
So have the lottery prizes always been trojan horses allowing to spy on the activities of the winner? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

is there a problem with that? you are in the world wide web, anything you do is shown to us (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
.. its not like we have any PVP or so here, so why would it matter if someone else can see what potencies are on your weapon/armour?

I surely wouldn't mind to have lots and lots of this type of trojan horses... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

When I see that happening I'm just glad that the winner is actually using the equipment they won. Sometimes equipment in really popular lotteries becomes unused because the winner didn't need it, even though many others could have used it. Then there are players who just salvage their lottery prizes, for example most of the prizes Kei wins seem to get salvaged.

So far I haven't found a way to get the equipment link from lottery prizes though, so you can't see exactly what potencies and upgrades were done to it.

Buying? Every 15-30 levels or so. It is hard to say exactly depens on equip you have and its quality. You know, if you bought magnificent or legendary gear with nice stats, that suits you very well - why you need to change it? =)
As for average and superior - change them as soon as battles started to be hard for you, around every 15-30 levels, as I said before.

Just to make it clear if you are under level 200 you can grab equips in four popular different ways:
1) Loot from monsters, so if you are lucky one you have a chance to find great equip absolutely randomly & free. Train your abilities to increase drop chances.
2) Find in Bazzar. Until you have a good drop chances or your luck is bad, here, on bazaar you can find some great staff. Everything you will buy from here will be untredably and will unable to resell it to another player. Bazaar is really messy place - here you can find a lot useless equips, but one day you can find mag or even leg equip! So check frequently.
3) Buy from other player in WTS section of forum, But here is problem here for low-leveled player is coming on - incredibly hard to find any equips same as your level - there a lot high-level gears (>300 level), but no low-leveled (<100) at all.
4) FREESHOP. Freeshop is project where everyone can freely (without any payment) grab great stuff from very big list of equips and items. Idea is simply - every player can donate some useless equips to Freeshop and other players can look here and take them in possession for free. Carefully read the rules before asking something - there not so many rules here, but all them necessary. Link to freeshop you can find in my signature under this post.

QUOTE

Why not? Even if this equip will be useless for you in future - you still will get exp, credits and loot from monsters, - so there is no harm. BUT - it is very hard and long to really max out your gear in Item World, better to upgrade your junk to 2-4 level and stop. When you finally get great equip (legendary or magnificent) - thats when you need to start max them out. So, my advice - sure, try to upgrade your gear a little, but dont waste time if it is pointless and useless equip, safe your time for nice stuff ^^

Good luck and have a nice day ^^

Quick question for the experts. I recently replaced my old main weapon, that I've had since before item levels were a thing(again).

Thing is, it's not soulforged, because by the time it was a thing, I was already working on it's replacement. Had quite a break in playing as well.

So what's my best option? Do I sell it(like at auction), or do I salvage it to get most of my materials back?

http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=8abc28f11d

I know it's not normally anything big, but it's been upgraded quite a bit. I was surprised that the sale value at the Bazaar was so low.

I think you won't get much for salvaging, some low grade metals and nothing else, worth next to nothing.

Maybe you can find a collectors who wants items with retired potencies.
It may be your best bet.

erm... if you salvage it now you will earn back only a bunch of LG metals. just FYI. in your shoes i'd bet on the retired potencies.

Hello experts, question on IW a willow staff. People have suggested that penetrator is one of the better options (after economizer) for PFest but isn't spellweaver pretty good for mages considering the affect turn has on their progress?

which element? if you go Dark, i guess at least a few Eco is still mandatory or so. if you go Wind/Elec i think it's better to go for more offensive stats
