Rainbowlipsskittles — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 18:46:31 +0000

I think I know what happen. With the Family Weekend Fishing, Papa fisher got tired of his family so he wanted us to get him the dead gilded glibber fish, so he won't be spotted in his truck with his family bodies under the dead fish we got him to cover up the smell, as he drives away.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

could have had saint guardian box sale

Evielicky — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 21:57:41 +0000

instead of throwing it into a chance to get it from shadow mission. i mean yay it's free but could have benefited nexon to generate some income from saint box sale.

Any guess to what the percentages

Dragoneartus — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 17:47:01 +0000

of the gacha drops will be for shadow missions?

Does appearance scrolls force their own color

Dragoneartus — Fri, 01 Nov 2019 02:56:35 +0000

when they're applied? for example the saint guardian sword appearance scroll, I noticed It's pink, do the dyes applied to the sword not apply to the appearance scroll weapon's color?

moonlight coins per day

noobodyzxz — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 00:02:44 +0000

how many moonlight coins do we get each day?
will we be able to obtain at least 1 of each item from the shop?
how many coins will we ever get before part 2 of the event?
anyone done their math yet, I did mine but I'm skeptical with the results
given how many times I made mistakes with my calculations in the past events

Been Gone Since March, Any Gameplay Changes?

Nachan — Fri, 01 Nov 2019 16:52:04 +0000

In March I accidentally spilled something on my laptop and haven't been able to play since. That was 7 months ago and I'm sure there are plenty updates that I've missed. I would like to know about any significant gameplay changes. Stuff like new talents, new skills, skill changes, new weapons, race changes and the like. Thanks in advance!

anyone else got this from fishing

noobodyzxz — Tue, 24 Sep 2019 03:56:46 +0000

Event/Sales Heads-Up! 10/31/19

Leinei — Tue, 29 Oct 2019 12:06:49 +0000

It's getting closer to the eve of Halloween, Milletians! On that Thursday of fright, we're due to have a maintenance that's going to remove the Dungeon Reward Rate Increase Event and the Shadow Brigade Supplies sales and give us the next chapter of the Moonlight Dreams Event. So get those last runs in for those items that never drop no matter what you do and by yourself a stack of gacha if you want it! And to everyone, have a Happy Halloween!

Question about Chain Slash

Squee — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 18:22:40 +0000

So after finishing the Chain Slash quests a while back, I got a chain slash collection book. I kept it because I was too scared to throw it out if it would be important, but it's just taking up space. Is the book important for anything or can I just get rid of it? I feel like I should drop it, but I have a phobia about dropping items I feel like might be important later.

The New Emain Concert Hall

Helsa — Tue, 29 Oct 2019 14:14:29 +0000

Is it possible to charge admission to it? Because if you can you can stage more that just concerts there. I'm thinking the Erinn version of old style UFC elimination tournaments.

Did they just take away a feature and call it VIP?

Acrylique — Sun, 27 Oct 2019 00:06:27 +0000

Not sure if you all have noticed but Belvast shops now REQUIRE VIP sub in order to get personal shop licenses that hold 20m...
Now, the rest of the player base without VIP is limited to 10m in a shop.

Did they honestly decide to gimp Belvast shops like that? We always had the ability to hold 20m and now its cut in half. With inflation and just the general price of items, 10m in a shop is literally nothing.

I know that ever since they have introduced AH, Belvast shops have declined and is less relevant but I still enjoy physically going to shops or setting up stuff at Belvast.

smh belv will be a ghost town now. what do you guys think?

Game «Physics» of «Expiring» and «Stackable» items

Habimaru — Sun, 27 Oct 2019 22:38:14 +0000

[Note/Disclaimer : Unimportant Thread (probably)... feel free to skip for other topics/subjects] Just another seemingly «random» thread this time...

Clothings : They apparently take up a lot of space in our digital-world. Out in the so-called material world, clothes wouldn't really take up tons of inventory space, considering that they can be folded, are flat, can be stacked on top of one another in layers (preferably after being ironed flat), and other things done for clothing-storage. Due to the game-mechanics, and, multiple colour-options, how-ever, they are not designed to be stack-able, for it would probably require they all be the exact same colour-scheme, for which there is no real coding mechanism in place right now to let you stack, say, multiple dresses on top of one another, which would probably also require keeping track of clothe-colours.

Armours : This is understandable that they would not stack based on the physics of the material-world in which people live when not living life in front of a computer-screen. It's also quite nice that these can be both worn and carried around without severely draining the stamina of our Milletian-characters (other than Dex-Penalty for Heavy-Armour Elf).

Food : With all of the «expiring» items that ended up floating around and coming from Events... I just couldn't help but to notice that I can apparently keep «Food» in my Milletian-inventories (and Pet-inventories) pretty much indefinitely. And the food never spoils... unlike that stuff in my material-world kitchen that I have to usually consume within the week before they start to spoil, and even less time if it's something that I actually cooked, save the food-preservation methods of canning and freezing, etc.

Passes : Some of those Shadow-Mission Elite-Passes started becoming stack-able. Similar to clothing, they mostly do not seem to be stack-able (except for some of the ones from the Camp-Fishing Event), but, aren't they just shaped like flat pieces of paper ? And it's not like we can Dye them into different colours. I think it would make sense to have all of them be stack-able, yes, absolutely all of them, including when they happen to be Baltane-Passes. Regarding Dungeon-Passes, periodically, I will get a Gift from a Partner, and their Gift-Box often contains some Dungeon-Pass (but within-the-week expiring). I don't think it matters whether Dungeon-Passes can be stacked or not. Well, actually, I have several Peaca Abyss Advanced passes in my inventory right now (and even Abyss Coill Advanced), and, double-checking, I guess the Abyss Coill Advanced Dungeon-Passes are stack-able, but the Peaca Abyss Advanced Dungeon-Passes are not (perhaps the Peaca-version passes just happen to be made out of heavier/thicker material ?).

Expiring Items : Potions, Pills, Capsules, Tools, etc. As this «thread» is being written/constructed, my currently main-active Milletian-character has an Expiring Tendering Potion, expiring Skill-Reset Capsules, expiring Potions (of a number of varieties), expiring Dungeon-Pass, Expiring Protective Blue Upgrade-Stone, expiring Alban-Knights Training Seal Stone, expiring Fine Reforge Tool (Event), and that Royal Complete Skill EXP Potion (1 Day). When doing Daily Gathering Quest, that Golden Experience Fruit expires (but, hey, it's a fruit, right ? Thus in the «Perishable» category... even though I have non-expiring versions from recent events), and, I remember numerous other items having been in inventory before which expire, such as some past-event Training Seals (which cannot be dropped nor used when they expire), but, this category should probably just be split into listing each and every single individual item instead, as we decide to discuss one particular item or another (or group of) over the other or another...

Alban-Knights Training Seal Stones : Many of these actually seem to expire (as with a lot of other «expiring» items... expiring items are one of the reasons I do not open all of my boxes at once... with the other reason being because I might just not have enough inventory space for holding everything at once if I decide to open all of the Gacha-style boxes or other equivalent-to-Soaked-Instrument-Bags simultaneously). Considering that it's a «Stone» ...I cannot help but to wonder why it is in a «Perishable» (expiring) type category. Although I had managed to «find» other Stones that are non-expiring (non-perishable)... even with all of those Advanced Baltane Seals that I have collected as a result of all of my Squires only doing L20 Command-Missions, I do not yet know what to expect from the Baltane Supply Shop, regarding what «Rewards» might come out. I do know that lots and Lots and LOTS of Green-Coloured Stones come out from the Intermediate Training Boxes (all of which expire), but, really, I am hoping that it's not all entirely mostly nearly all Green-Coloured Stones if I decide to pick up a bunch of Advanced Alban-Training Boxes (got 867 of those Advanced Seals to spend at the time of this writing).

I suppose potions that expire are similar to drinks and «vitamins» that come from the pharmacy. They have «expiration dates» after all. Unlike HP, MP, Stamina potions, etc. Come to think of it, back in the original days, did any of the items originally expire ? I think, originally, only Dungeon-Passes had Expiration-Dates, unlike now it is now.

I guess I'll leave it at that for now. Feel free to respond and leave your thoughts or also feel free to ignore this thread and not bother responding.

Physical/Melee damage is too favored in this game

Owntrolf — Sat, 26 Oct 2019 23:07:23 +0000

Damage Reduction from Standers
Heavy Stander always reduces damage only reduces damage on activation (correction by Lutetium
Natural Shield always reduces damage
Mana Deflector always reduces damage

Battlefield Overture and Bonechip/Powerpot hardly works on any magic damage skill except firebolt at a severely diminished boost(40% overture would be less than 20% more on firebolt)

There is no equivalent of bonechip for magic damage.

Def/Prot vs MDef/Mprot Reduction
There are few skills/pets that actually reduces mdef/mprot compared to physical

-Hydra
-Ceraunus
-Fantastic Chorus(Citation needed)

vs

-Bone Dragon
-Mir Dragon
-Uppercut
-Smash(Axe)
-Brionac(we lost this when they split Protection into Protection and Magic Protection)
-Piercing

Int to MA Scaling Change(Magic Update)
With the magic update back when 25INT = 1MA became 5INT = 1MA
there was never any update to make those enchants fall in line with the new formula which is why a majority of the older MA enchants became such a huge joke which is a majority of them because Nexon refuses to either buff or release newer enchants to fall in line with the new system.
There is still no MA suffix for clothes or any easily obtainable MA enchants for accessories, the only thing close is Awakened Successor which is still fairly hard to get since they only drop from Alban Hard/Heroic and are rank 7 enchants unlike being able to just use Oblivion WildBoar accessories for +maxdamg

A huge example of this is Mana Hammer(Rank3) 3-5 Magic attack.
This enchant is such a joke in it's current state, it went from being worth 75-125INT to a measly 15-25INT and thats a rank 3 enchant.

For a skill like FireBolt which scales
0.35-0.5MA (0.35minimum and 0.5max for 1MA)
0.2-0.4damgenchant(0.2min for 1minenchant, 0.4max for 1maxenchant)

3-5 MA would grant 1.5-2.5 more max damage on FireBolt
to get an equal amount of max on FireBolt with maxdamg enchants would only be
2.5/0.4 = 6.25max damg enchant.

Literally any common damg enchant would do better for making FireBolt hit harder.

Alchemy HP/MP/SP Scaling Change(Alchemy Update)
A similar issue to this presents itself with alchemy when they added the current HP/MP/SP scaling damage
for example WaterCannon or FlameBurst

WaterCannon

FlameBurst

Assuming a player with 2.5k HP/MP/SP
they will gain about

750 worth of base damage on WaterCannon
200 worth of base damage on FlameBurst

Alchemy enchants typically only add 1 damg per point which is outscaled by the damage you gain from having high current HP/MP/SP

This is heavily relevant for WaterCannon such as using

instead of

because the damage gain is much higher
50MP = 15 damage on water cannon vs +9 Water Alchemy Damg

Dan Ranks
Dan ranks for both Magic and Alchemy are generally pay 60% or more MP/SP for less than 3% more damage after factoring in your stats.

For example
FireBolt
60-120 -> 66-126 base damage (6min/max gain)
5 -> 8 Mana Cost (60% more mana usage)
Calculating the max gain's value in MA
6/0.5 = 12MA
Dan3 FireBolt gives you 12MA worth of damage for 60% more mana

WaterCannon
119-136 -> 152-175 Base Damage(33min/39max gain)
5 -> 8 Stamina Cost (60% more stamina usage)
Calculating the max gain's value in MP
39/0.3 = 130MP
Dan3 WaterCannon gives you 130MP worth of damage for 60% more stamina

The more stats you have, there will be greatly diminished returns from getting dan ranks due to your stats overshadowing the gains from dan ranks which is unlike how all the physical class dans work such as Smash

Smash
500% -> 620% (120% damage gain or 24% more from 500%)
10 -> 13 Stamina Cost (30% more stamina usage)

Magnum Shot
500% -> 560% (60% damage gain or 12% more from 500%)
10 -> 10 Stamina Cost (no change)

All the physical damage skills scale very well with dan even as your stats grow not to mention being able to take advantage of the crazy multiplicative nature of stacking BFO/Bonechip/Fateweaver.

EDIT
I forgot to add, Meteor Strike is the biggest joke of a skill with 15 minutes as a cooldown for a little less damage than Lightning Rod once you have about 620 Magic Attack.

It would have to do way more damage for that kind of a crazy cooldown.
Imagine having a skill with 15 minute cooldown doing less damage than a 15 sec cooldown skill.
The difference in cooldown is literally 60x.

always use protection
