I'm surprised no one started a WTB thread for trophies yet

Hmm, lots of changes, going to take some readjusting once again, lol.

Very nice patch, and grinding got easier now too without 501 appearing so often. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

As my equipment no longer has item lvls anymore, will staves that had 3turn ET potential but were at 2 turns at the time still become 3x ET?

How would you even do the pricing?


After playing I realize for sometime.
That I finish arena SOOO MUCH FASTER NOW
I may actually need energy drinks now.

Yes. You have to level up to get there though.

It kinda sucks that we can't see the proc potential anymore though. It's nice to know my Ethereal Club will eventually go from 3 to 4 (it's one of the reasons I bought it).

Will Spelunker eventually be refunded?
I could use the million.

History dictates yes.

Playing Item World on Hard because I have to complete 146 rounds for my mace.

Monsters are dropping like flies. I normally play Arena on Nintendo.

I wouldn't count on too much from that anyway.

Trophies drop 100% of the time except in Arena challenges higher than The Trio and the Tree where the chance is a static 10% (except in the final round where it is once again 100%).

http://ehwiki.org/wiki/trophy#Trophies

So you'll average 5 @220, 240 & 260, 10 @ 280 and 15 @ 300 (not counting final round) but that's a lot of work for a pretty chancy payoff.

I was aware of the per round flat 10%, but that is still, on average, 5 extra piece of gear of whatever type I might be trying to hunt for. I did get an exquisite staff and some fine and superior phase gear in the past. I was also approaching the level where (particularly prior to the patch that cut item values in half) average gear would be worth almost as much as the basic item shop sale price of the trophy. This is significantly less attractive now.

Wiki should probably be updated with how the difficulty modifier affects XP gain for items. Normal is 1x and Hard appears to be 1.5x

You do realize that HV was always intended to be a credit sink not a credit generator right?

you do realize that if you can't generate any credits you can't sink them into HV. Training still costs 100s of million of credits, hath perks are still there if you can't generate credits from playing the game to gain things that help you with it. why the hell even play it

So IW has a Round 2 RM now. Why? Is there any benefit to hopping in and out for short runs?

Nah, don't refund it. Just repurpose it to increase your chances of getting non-crap potencies (elemental resistances for sure.)

I also like the idea of resetting potencies to 0 since RNG will ultimately screw you over most of the time.

I'm not. With most items so low in value now with the bazaar, and the small chance for a quality usable or sellable payoff, trophies don't seem worth it now unless you pick them up for free via drops. I just sold a Max PA Estoc that I got from a MBP Tail for 52c. Which would have been a splendid 948c loss had I bought from the bazaar just for the remote chance of a good piece.

Now if someone wants to donate trophies to me, go right ahead you charitable user you (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I got no bonuses from rapidly and correctly solving the Round 2 RM, so I would believe that it is either 1) a bug or 2) a further crackdown on bots or 3) something to really bleed stamina from the inattentive.

1) Multiply the number of IW levels by 10
2) Make exploration cumulative (you die, you start from that same floor)
3) Every N levels, you meet a guardian (schoolgirl or tanked custom monster)
4) Beat the guardian and the item levels up
5) Change "Item World" to "Tartarus"

While you see it as an advantage to players, wouldn't cumulative floor advancement make it harder for Tenboro to have easily interpreted game statistics?

Doing it this way makes it more like the Disgaea item world (which had exit items and the built in ability to leave every 10th round) While doing so does create an extra variable to be tracked, it creates insurance for the players on harder / longer runs and allows people to do a few rounds at a time like on a lunch break without needing to dedicate 30-45 minute blocks just to run through a fine item.

hmm.... not sure i like the randomness and permanence of the potentials. oh well, liked almost everything else in the update.

My biggest concern is:

For Item World, does the forge upgrades get retroactively applied?

Example: I have Edurance lv. 1, I forge it once, and now I IW and get Endurance lv. 2. Will the forge bonus be applied to both levels?

I have a hunch that the answer is yes, but doesn't hurt to ask.
