HMP you farm outside of VW campaign.

Glow weapons/pulse cells you farm during Campaign.

Merits buff just keep it on. You’ll get to 25000 eventually.

T3 escha is your best bet for a fast weapon.

So recently returned for a few months now. For Fotia gorget and belt, other than the TP not depleted when WS used +1%, are the affects of WS Acc and WSdmg the same? It's also my understanding that the WSdmg on gorget/belt is actually fTP mod and not the same as standard WSdmg.

tldr; will Light belt give same boost as Fotia belt?

I saw the post that refers to this, was it ever confirmed that it's HMP at 150, or HMP AND pouches at 150?

Plates pouches rift dross all are 150.
(Maybe less based on one of my mules being 125 and seems to have the same drop rate)

I use cobalt cells. My results with no cobalt are horrendous. With a cobalt cell everything lines up drop rate wise.

The formatting for the campaign seems weird and I want to make sure I understand it, the exp/cp PLUS ends on the 27th, but normal exp/cp chain bonus is resumed until the 31st?

There is a new option in POLConfig that saves all settings/macros/equipsets to a folder of your choice.

Does anyone know if the slow/weakness status effects the delay reduction cap? As in, if you're slow/weak, will putting extra DW in help the attack speed? Or, do you hit delay reduction cap as normal, and then the slow/weakness takes effect afterwards.

Afaik equipping more DW during slow/weak has been a practice for quite some time. So the answer is likely yes it will help.

But the better solution is to use geo entrust haste in any fight with slow spam, since entrust haste will never be erased with slow.

Fixed my bugged game installation, setting it up with the new downloader. It no longer freezes when doing trove and the problem with some ppl appearing invisible is also fixed.

However the game takes longer to load now. From initial login, between zones, and shutting down. Before it was almost instantaneous to pretty quick.

Is this common with everyone? Anything that can be done to make it like pre installer update?

Cheers

It doesn't effect the delay reduction cap. Slow is merely negative haste. I'm pretty sure there was old testing that you could in fact "overcap" haste if slowed

You can, yes. That's also true for gear-slow and extra gear haste.

Yes, except you can't have haste up while slowed.

might be the case w/ Kei, but if a mob hits you with Slow I, a RDM's Haste II will prevent that Slow I from landing.

To my understanding. The belt/gorget gives the same dmg bonus aka +10acc and + 0.097ftp for aligned WS

just the description that is wrong on fotia belt/gorget

however the belt are pretty easy to get so you should really just make fotia and enjoy an generic all jobs ws items that only takes up one slot

You only need to go into the Findall folder (Something like: C:\Games\Windower4dev\addons\findAll\data) and delete the name.lua files of the characters you killed.

Fotia items force both the positive AND negative effects, so technically, there are niche situations where single element belts will still technically be better.

Fotia are the WS items. They have no negative effects.

I suspect you're thinking of Hachirin-no-obi. Which can force detrimental elemental effects right on top of the beneficial ones.

Has anyone tested if Shining One also enables Ranged Weaponskills to crit?

It's a long shot (no pun intended) but I'm curious about the repercussions that could have for Bow Weaponskills on Paladin and Sam

The BGiki page states that the effect does not extend to ranged WS.
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Shining_One

And while we're on the subject of Shining one, does any one have any solid testing for the additional WS crit rate at 1k/2k/3k TP?

Tested and confirmed myself. Does not work on ranged.

The solo battlefield just unlocks 119 empy. The full normal battlefield unlocks as well and, well, drops too.

So if you don't care for any specific drops, either works.

Yep, thank you for the correction. I did mean Hachirin-no-Obi. Fotia Belt/Gorget don't have negatives.
