because it basically boosts only magic stats like MDB and Magic Crit. and a tiny bit of SP, but you can survive even without. melees usually go from keeping it 100 points behind all the rest to keep it at zero

QUOTE(Shind Mar @ Nov 17 2016, 03:51)  Thank you so much. That's very detailed and helps me a lot.
I think you are right, it may not be worth me doing it. All my items are damaged anyway. Throwaways, until I can get enough resources to fix my gear. Currently I am only trying to spend credits only on Training (Adept Leaner (11/300) and Quarter Master (2/20)), though I have bought a lot of Mana and Heal pots which seems like a waste now.
Level < 150 can get a free average protection set(with 1h/2h)&potions&scrolls in ArbiterErii's wts,pretty useful for newbies who does not have full set equipments,remember equipment level will be assigned to your current level when you equip it. And there are several people gives out free potion pack for newbie in wts.

"Fighting more difficult monsters also gives an additional 0-15% drop rate, making the maximum drop rate 27.5% with maxed Scavenger and a monster with at least 1250PL"
i always thought it was the combined PL of all my monsters caps the increase drop rate at 27.5%/1250PL; or is it that only your highest level monster contributes to the increased drop rate?

Where are you getting the "combined PL" mechanic from? That doesn't make sense... base drop chance is probably just a function of monster PL. Maybe drop chance for each monster fought is the same (calculated from the highest PL monster in that round), it might be a bit less strain on the loot generation function and its effect would be near indistinguishable for most players - but that's contrary to the official description, which I'd prefer to trust unless something shows otherwise.

wait i think i have this whole thing wrong. i thought monsters in your lab increased drop chance not monster power level you were fighting. so the increased drop % is from the Power level of the monsters you're fight?

(where did you see your personal lab as having something to do with drops from monsters in general?) edit: using this post so I can add an attachment for something else This post has been edited by Superlatanium: Nov 17 2016, 08:31

been a long time since i went over it, so i probably just remembered it wrong. last time i checked it was probably when i was in the 200s before i took about a year break. i'm also considering getting another hath perk or 2. currently im thinking of getting crystarium 4 and tokenizer 1. would i be better off investing that money into my drop training or those perks? current training: scavenger: 30 LOTD: 12 Quartermaster: 8 archaeologist: 7 edit: i almost exclusively do GF between niten/IWBTH IWBTH:300-400 rounds niten 500-700 rounds This post has been edited by jackalo: Nov 17 2016, 07:03

current training:
scavenger: 30 LOTD: 12 Quartermaster: 8 archaeologist: 7 If you want an exact answer and not a handwavy guess (which most answers will likely be), Income Summary + some math can answer your question with the most precision; measure your current income from the battle series you play most, and figure out how much each training/perk adds, then figure out which choice has the greatest benefit per cost. QUOTE(nobody_xxx @ Nov 17 2016, 06:29)  btw , I'm curious about mana pot vs elixir usage in term of cost (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) which are better between those two ??? since pot % is depend on our mana base while elixir is depend on how high our total mp plus elixir is more expensive compare to pot (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) They're very close in terms of efficiency, for a mage with minimal Capacitor. For a mage with Capacitor, elixirs might be a bit better. See math in this post: QUOTE(Superlatanium @ May 28 2016, 12:50)  Without aiming for Capacitor in particular, mana elixirs are very nearly just as economical as mana potions, at least for me and other mages with similar stats: https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?s=&am...t&p=4373591(My stats:) Potion: 29% of pool restored for cost + opportunity cost of (85 + 50) credits = 455 credits per full pool restored Elixir: 89% of pool restored for cost + opportunity cost of (350 + 50) credits = 448 credits per full pool restored If someone aims for a few levels of Capacitor in addition to Jug they might be able to widen that difference to something like 50 credits instead of being nearly the same. So it's somewhat useful. But is that worth the huge amount of shards that would be needed when you're also trying for Jug 5, which has much higher priority? I'm very doubtful.

From the way it's written in the WIKI, I read into it as a summation of all current monsters capped at 15% Cut and paste -> Monsters give additional loot drop chance as ((PL - 500) / 50), capped at 15%. So 2 monsters at PL1000 sum together for 20%, hence max at 15% until the apocalypse. Not true?

Not true?
Do they really sum together?I thought they will calculated separately. Like one monster have 15% additional loot drop chance,another only have 10%
