Is it possible to accumulate guildpoints within the Fishing Guild while accumulating guildpoints within another guild (in my case, Cooking)?

I understand that in the regular case between guilds that it is not, but seeing as Fishing is already a special case (shown by the fact that you can take it to 100 without affecting the levels of any other crafts) I wasn't sure if you could or not.

Getting close to needing to buy a Harpe for my THF. Until I get a SK should I offhand a hornetneedle or chicken knife?

Neither: Hoplites Harpe, then Magnet Knife or BH+1 at 70.

Also, should I use the harpe until I get a blau, or is there something better than a harpe and cheaper then a blau (outside of X's and P. Harpe)?

Not especially. Harpe/Blau seems good until you get SK.

Order of operations for +att?

Lets assume I only have a 100 base ATT
I eat a Mithkabob
I then obtain Minuets (we'll say +114)
I then obtain Chaos Roll (lets just say +20% ATT)

Which adjusts my ATT first, and how are % rates calculated?

Static values (Minuets) are added first. Then percentage bonuses (Mithkabob and Chaos Roll) are added.

It doesn't matter what order you add percentage bonuses in. Type any number into a calculator. Multiply that number by 1.2 (this adds 20% for chaos roll) and then multiple that number by 1.22 (this adds 22% for mithkabob).

You'll get the exact same result if you add the 22% first.

Starting attack * 1.2 * 1.22 = Starting attack * 1.22 * 1.2

nope. fishing guild follows the same rules as any other guild. no xtals there tho, so if you want fishing guild points, you should plan ahead and get any signing xtals you may want before you switch. you can get lots of those super duper valuable robber rigs though! (/sarcasm)

Use ACC back.

Culverin+1/Cannon Shell
Mars Ring

Nitpicking is awright

Less nitpicking more SRS: /WAR, and Dusk Gloves +1

DA lowers KC's avg rounds, though would have higher ws avg, not sure what would be better for rng.

What you posted was ideal, but wasn't realistic for me. I made one up for /WAR

Would that be an okay build? I left back and neck blank. For back I have that augmented +5 accuracy +2 Dex mantle and for neck I'm trying to get something useful from Azure Key.

Lets See, Brutal is BAD w/Kraken, att is meh w/it.
So instead use Acc Earrings[hollow/ACP/diablos/etc]

Also,Full Skadi I don't think ever worth it, instead use:
Byakko/Dusk x2/Turban/Skadi Body, if byakko not option skadi legs decent.

Starting attack * 1.2 * 1.22 = Starting attack * 1.22 * 1.2

Small addendum: Any percentage increase with a cap should be accounted for before uncapped increases. If the mithkabob will cap before Berserk or Chaos Roll are taken into account, it's grouped with the additive bonuses.

Food, Berserk and Chaos don't stack

Gun belt or Buccaneer's belt vs Greater Colibri as COR/RNG?

[Greatguardian]

Buccaneer's Belt. And wtf Food/Zerk/Chaos don't stack? Am I wooshing?

Food, Berserk and Chaos don't stack

Definitely not true.

[Ultimagi]

Fixed for clarity.

DA is not KC friendly!

are jumps kc frendly(8hit jumps) ?

iirc, yes, kclub can proc on jumps which is a part of what makes /drg even more attractive on drk b/c it enables 2 extra attack rounds thru jump/hi jump i believe. don't quote me unless someone backs me up though, my drk is 37 and will stay there for a long, long time.

Neither: Hoplites Harpe, then Magnet Knife or BH+1 at 70.

That's what I was originally thinking, but the 210 delay on the Hoplites Harpe always has bothered to me. Was thinking Hornetneedle or Chicken Knife just to try to lower delay a hair, though the incredibly weak damage of the Hornetneedle made me reluctant to consider that even. I'll just suck up the 420 combined delay before Dual Wield until I get a SK or BK +1

I recall hearing somewhere around here that a KC averages 3.9 hits/round. Changing 10% of hits to 2 hits/round is a net change of -4.9% tp gained over time. In return, you gain ~+15% average WS damage from berserk :/ You could make an argument for acc bonus and jump, but I'd say /war wins in most cases.

Do Attachments which effect Puppet Accuracy and Attack do the same for Ranged Accuracy and Attack? I assume not the Accuracy as there exists Scope vs. Stabilizer- but what about Tension Spring?
