DISCUSSION: 07/08/2013 Version Update, SAM wins mantle contest

[Keyoku]

Got Partner rank in Courier which then offers the "Base Provision: Yorcia/Marjami" assigments. Sorry if it's been said before and I missed it.

[Julian]

I'm going to finish up my map tonight, and probably completely redraw the center. To anyone that's used it, are there any other areas that feel really inaccurate that I should redraw?

theres 2 maps in Dho. i missed the main one on my first pass so when Yugl uploaded those it was missing that.. I later uploaded it on my side but maybe Yugl hasn't

Thanks, I'll fix this soon.

Not sure if been posted or not but got two capes from a single Reive in Marjami. I know you can get more than one item from them but wasn't sure on capes.

Stupid question, but are they only from wildkeeper's reives, or are you getting them from regular colonization/lair reives?

[Toth]

Geez I have done about 7 or 8 revies in the new zones, 0 capes. Is this normal ><

[bruice]

I've done about the same or little more and have only gotten these two capes.

Necro, they are from the new area fights. Reive or Lair.

[Hirronimus]

Added #4 Biv location to Gwyn's map

Spoiler: show

[shepardG]

Why did SAM cape win the contest? its nice no doubt but not arguably best in slot like some of them. confused...

[Fireon]

Updated the Coalition Assignments page with information about coalition rank 5 and the Base Provision tasks for Partner.

Mnk cape beats my current acc option (attacker's), but I've been doing meebles/working on Letalis mantle, so meh

Though, w/ the amount of extra attacks mnk gets to begin with (and diminishing returns, etc.), if acc is uncapped, 2.5% hitrate and 10 attack probably shit over 3% DA, provided there aren't other better acc swaps to make first.


Edit: What's the new bayld gear? All I see for new armor is wildskeeper shit, costumes, and jse backs

Looks like they only added weapons this go around, and the armor will probably be in the August follow up.

Seems like the walkthough for the next mission is crossed up with Flavors of our Lives on bg wiki. Well, emerg maint coming in so maybe we'll know wtf soon. ^^

If someone can figure out wtf I'd appreciate it.^^

Tested Wyvern performance on a T mandy right outside Adoulin. Both parses were 100 attack arounds because I don't have time now for a larger sample, I just wanted a ballpark estimate. It would seem that using Ophidian Trident(IL113) gives a substantial boost to all parameters. I wish I had an Upukirex but I can't find a decent LS that I can get in to to get the KI

Anyway, here's the parses:

This was on a tough Blanched Mandragora Level 100.

Without Ophidian Trident
-OFFENSE-
Melee Damage Average: 41.51
Melee Accuracy: 83.33%
Critical Hit Rate :14.55%

-DEFENSE-
Evasion Rate: 3.48%(mob had basically capped acc on my wyvern)
Damage Taken Average: 49.55





With Ophidian:
-OFFENSE-
Melee Damage Average: 136
Melee Accuracy: 100% (100/100 hits landed)
Crit%: 14.71%

-DEFENSE-
Evasion Rate: 71.88% (Went from floored evasion to nearly capped evasion)
Damage Taken Average: 35.13

So the biggest gain is the att/str/dmg whichever. Wyvern went from hitting for 40's to 130's. Secondly the evasion went from floored to nearly capped. I'm sure having Upukirex would show an even higher boost since that's 6 IL's higher than Ophidian. Dunno how much of a difference this will make on NMs/Bosses, but it looks somewhat promising.

The average damage might be a bit skewed since Mandies have guard skill.

That's because completing that quest is a required part of completing the new missions.

[Elizara]

Makes sense, tho that needs clarified. (As it is, it's REALLY confusing on teh wiki right now.) I'll proly do a write up on lj then transfer that to wiki later. ^^ (The LJ writeup is for my static and to organize my thoughts better before I wiki that)

[Morari]

You don't actually need to finish Flavors of our Lives, but you do need to wait until the next game day after talking with Chalvava before Teodor will show up at Masad to continue with the actual mission.

[Ophannus]

DMG:88 Delay:216 INT+5 MND+5 Magic Accuracy+90 "Magic Atk. Bonus"+12

Can I throw my accuracy magian staves away(except thunder)?

[fantasticdan]

Do we know how to get the colonization KIs besides climbing? Like the imprimatur recharge/max held ones.
