[X] My Assistant

Recent patch notes says that poison does Dark damage.

It seems I have a dilemma regarding training. I have Adept Learner just above above lv50, and I'd like to bring up something else.

I currently have lv6 Ability Boost, lv8 Scavenger, and lv1 Archaeologist. I don't know if I should bring up one of these three, continue on AL, or unlock an aura slot while I have the chance. I have about 61,000 credits right now.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

From what I've read, the ideal drop perks are as follow.

10 in Scavenger
5 in Luck of the Draw
4 in Quartermaster
2-3 in Archaeologist

That's my current setup and it works nicely. Lots of potion drops, good number of crystals, and equipment isn't too rare. Just recently finished off Archaeologist though, so haven't seen the fruits of that yet.

I believe the posting bonus is 100%, but I'm not certain. I do know that the effect of each post is valid for 24 hours, and has nothing to do with the dawn event.

Edit: It takes 10 posts to get the full bonus, just clarifying.

Ooo, even better.

I've had cases where I'd forgotten I'd switched equipment sets and entered endgame arenas with dual wielding.....clubs......

I did some snooping around the forums and I still don't really see a clear answer as to how the forum posting -> exp bonus works. All I know so far is 10-15 posts gives you a significant exp bonus, but I'm not sure how long it lasts for.

Each post gives 10% bonus of base experience. Most exp bonuses work off base and separate from each other, so +100% from aura, +100% from posts means a total of 300% (base 100% and then the other two bonuses added separate from each other). The only exception seems to be the organized mind hath perk.
This posting bonus maxes out at 10 posts, for 100% bonus.
It counts your posts made during the last 24 hours, and as such is not related to the dawn of a new day.

Sounds like fun. Guess I'll have to become a mindless spammer til level 250 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

That's why there is a subforum called "spamhaus", filled with worthless threads to spam in.

Quick question about Poison, since I'm going to have to take on the gods Real Life, Unicorn, and Spagetti Monster.

What is its damage based off of, and is it worth using in battles like those?

Based off the monsters base hitpoints and your proficiency in deprecating magic, at least according to the wiki.
Base hitpoints means it doesn't increase with difficulty level, which gives a bonus to it's base.

And IMO it does decent damage, but it also lasts a long time and more importantly, it also halves their mana and spirit regen, meaning they can't use their special attacks as often.

And for my own question to the experts.
I'm using a mace, is it worth it going with -of balance, for higher crit and better accuracy, or are the increases of accuracy so small that it isn't worth it compared to -of slaughter for total damage?
Also counting in the fact that higher hit chance and crit chance means a increased chance of stunning a mob every time you attack?
(Which is real nice when you get domino strikes).

I'd say go for Slaughter, or at least Ox weapon.

Kind of curious why there are 1H axes but no 2H axes.

Scythes. They're in charge for the time being.
Just got the last point in Karma Amp. 100/100. Amen >.<

Oh my god. I'm level 208 and am just how learning about the posting experience bonus. I always wondered why people bothered with those spam threads x-P

I had no idea about that concept up until today. Actually I think this was a bad idea to implement this.
Does Luck of the draw affect the Trophies lewt?

I don't believe it does. I was trying to find the Tenboro post where he talks about LotD but can't remember where I saw it. But this game is always changing so maybe I'm mistaken... I know that doesn't help a whole lot (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Precisely, I never get the loot less than Average as a drop but I keep on lewting Crudes from trophies turn-in. I wonder if I should simply /jettison them to Akara.

Post bonus:

Caps at 100% for 10 posts. It's a daily bonus. It's also additive with the XP Boost ability and the Adept Learner training, so it will make those other two look less impressive if you train them.
You may want to check this thread as well. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So... did it really get changed to only 10 posts to max the bonus?

Yup.

A follow-up question. Does the bonus get reset with the dawn event or lasts within 24 hours of your last post?

It counts posts made the last 86400 seconds, but it caches the result for an hour.

If this is to be trusted, then LotD should affect Trophies as well:

Stupid question time: Are Shrine Trophy redemptions considered "drops" (and therefore guaranteed a suffix)?

Yes. It's actually only equipment generated by the equipment store that's restricted to not have them.

Thanks.
But!
I assume the difficulty DOES affect the loot quality for the items that drop in combat, right? So we atually get some "multiplier" for an item quality for those BUT there is no such multiplier @ trophy turn-in (otherwise it would be just too easy: switch to IWBTH @ shrine, voila), only LotD?

As far as I know, nothing affects trophies besides their own bonus to the loot quality roll when turned in.

Not even a karma shot to Snowflake beforehand. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

In that case can someone please borrow me a Tenboro Poking Stick please? Pleeease?

Turning in 60+ trophies hurts my brain. WTB an automated turn-in script.

coredumperror's Autoshrine add-on may help a bit if you are using Chrome.

No, I'm using FF. Is there any way to apply it on FF?
