Do Elemental Gorgets/Belts benefit magical ws? (Worth keeping/using?)

Belts often for nonmages, Gorgets usually only while brewed, as Uggalepih or Artemis necks are often better. Depends on the ftp of the WS and other +MAB gear.

Under brew though, gorget/belt is best until you can match an obi.

[Chun Liroy]

Keep Atheling and use Blitz + Rose. Don't be lazy. DRG set cannot proc on WS (Current standing).

It would take over 80 days to get a rose strap, while doing campaign and getting an evaluation every 5 days. My character hasn't even been active for 80 days yet. Does anyone know if there is going to be campaign adjustments?

Had two quick questions.
1. Can anyone suggest a good gamepad for Win7 that is usb wire/wireless with the PS2 layout?
2. With SE adding /blockhelp it makes the plugin CFHprotect not needed, however I yet to find a way to make /blockhelp stay on always. Is there anything I might have missed? A script or something? Might seem silly to ask but I am slowly trying to cut down on some of the older plugins that might not be needed anymore.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Other than "we're doing something to campaign," you know as much as the rest of us do. You would be better off working on your medals now than praying they're going to decrease the minimum time between evaluations.

I want to make spellcast go from staff + grip to wand + shield for fast cast gear(1% haste shield) then back to staff + grip for idle, but I can't figure out how to make it work. It'll equip the wand, but not the shield, and when going back to staff it never requips the grip. How can I make this work properly?

Make it part of your equp set and use a precast|midcast i would think.

Does HQ'ing work the same in Synergy as it does in regular crafts? As far as X amount of levels over cap?

Does not work.

[nikia]

Does not work.

I'm sorry it has been a very long time since i played with a mage job. the midcast was to catch the sub slot incase it didnt trigger. Maybe try a small wait between the main and sub equip. Not sure of the syntax off the top of my head but might work.

HQs work by getting the elemental balance thing as close as possible to the exact value required I believe.

LL script for lotting scales and passing +2 items/other dorps?

[Leonock]

What BRD AF1 / AF2 pieces are worth getting?

[Byrthnoth]

Pretty much none of it, these days. Very situational uses for a few pieces (or their +1s). No use at all for the NQ, unless I'm forgetting something.

Did you put the main first?

1. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Dual-.../ref=pd_cp_e_2 I had one until the USB component smashed somehow.

2. Autoexec script that does that when you log in.

<register silent="true" event="login">input /blockhelp</register>

Bard's Roundlet is still worthwhile if you don't have Marduk's Tiara. Choral Cuffs and Cannions will tide you over until you can get the empyrean head/hands.

Yeah, fanatics works.

If you have a PS3, MotioninJoy finally got their drivers signed; DS3/SixAxis controllers work without having to boot into special configurations.

[cdgreg]

Yeah, fanatics works.

thanks

Think I have some corrupted DAT files on my hands. Zoning into West Saru results in me crashing immediately regardless of the character on my primary PC, be it Windower or Vanilla. Hopping onto my old one, I was able to get in and move out. Basically, I'm thinking transferring the good files from my old PC to my current should hopefully fix the matter, but I don't know what all files are associated with the zone. Of related files, I have the following found:

ROM/17/39.dat
ROM/24/52.dat
ROM/26/52.dat
music113.bgw

Those include the map, dialogue tables, string info, and zone music. However, the problem still persisted swapping those, those I'm suspecting it has more to do with the graphics/geometry aspect of it. Anyone know where I can find the remaining files and I guess textures associated with the zone?
