Once upon a time, I saw someone on BG say that -def down, at least on the mob, was capped at 50%, and since no one contested, I thought it was true. I can't seem to find that post anymore, nor do any of the wikis mention such a thing. Does anyone know if it has a cap or not?

If that was true people wouldn't be bringing drg/dnc to agnon and step and double light shot dia ii with geo def down too since that is waaaay over 50 and everyone reports how much a diff losing some of it makes. I know I've gotten myself to decently higher but testing if a mob has a cap is a tad more time consuming

Yeah it's temp and only lasts that run. Have to get it every time.

Ok, thanks

Is amazon the cheapest source for soa at the moment? $20

Even if it isnt, it's still the least headache inducing source. I wouldn't buy it anywhere else even if it were $5


EDIT: wouldn't buy it *****

With the 1hand update, is there a reason to go Aphotic/Izhiikoh rather than Izhiikoh/Aphotic? I have been seeing this a LOT lately.

Nope, you can get nothing then.

I was pretty sure. I checked the sheets. But all I see is Aphotic/Izhiikoh. Maybe some group of people who think the game is too easy the right way...

[dasva]

Wait you actually see people fighting with aphotic/izhiiho or just in town or something?

100% fighting. Cape farming.

I saw some screenshot with someone's chatlog presented in a much cleaner, color coded fashion.

Instead of saying "Player starts casting Raise on Gimp", it said something like "[Player] Raise -> [Gimp]"

Is this a Windower plugin? If so, which one?

[Falkirk]

It's a Windower add-on called Battlemod.

With the DEX changes, and level increases, what is the current calculation for accuracy when it comes to hand to hand skill?

Last I remember 1 skill was 1 accuracy up until 200, then it dipped a bit. Forget the exact numbers, and not sure if it changed again somewhere between 80 and 99. I haven't had to care about my accuracy since probably ToAU Mamool Ja camps... Is it still the same formula, and if so, what was the post 200 multiplier?

For DEX, was it a straight DEX * .625 = acc from DEX?

[dasva]

Equation (Skill >200): Accuracy from Skill = floor( (Skill - 200)×0.9 ) + 200

Anyone know what the Spinescent Prottuberance are about? Just these little plant things you can fight sticking out of the ground you can fight. Kinda like the poison/paralyze spore things but these just amnesia you if you are fighting them sometimes. Do they drop anything? For that matter did the other stuff?
