Pln. Body Increases the rate of critical hits, when it actually does not.

Evoker's boots Thoroughly useless stats for the most part. Many a SMN has kept them just on they off chance they do "SOMETHING".

Weren't people parsing 1-3% higher crit rate on average? Tossed aside for better items.

^ this was the first thing I thought of when I saw the dev interview. It's had tons of test but with smn it's so hard to see because it's so hard to tell if it's boosting any stats the the avatar.

No.

But it was suggested that the crit hit rate increase may be for ranged attacks based on the rest of the sets benefits.

However, that thunder's mantle looks hot when fighting something with shock spikes up Q.Q

... MDB and +10 MDB. I'm thinking +10 MDB since everything else defense bonus related (Lamia bow for instance) are + a static number, not a percentage. Sadly as with most 'sets', the entire set isn't worth using the majority of the time just to obtain the bonus. ...

search Goliard Set Bonus. I got the full set its probably right.

Vicious Mufflers increases the Abosrb effect duration by 10 or 15 seconds.

Probably 10 then, the black set is all 10s.


btw, the thing I'm most interested in is the Vampiric Set. Of course, it's also one of the least likely to be found out

Hydra Tiara - Enchantment: Potency (Crit hit rate up) - What's the magnitude of crit rate up? Duration?

Hydra Tights - Enchantment: Haste - How long does the haste last? How potent? Does it stack with the spell? Does it stack with Haste Belt?

We got a few of those a few months back from a Tav run, Kirschy ran some tests:

I posted on the Hydra gear earlier. Re-ran tests since I couldn't find my old data or my old posts. Feel free to add any of this (or any test I run) to bg-wiki.

Hydra Gear enchantment lasts 3 min. If you un-equip you lose the enchantment.

Hydra Tiara - Potency

I used Kraken Club /w some hastes~

Normal - 158 hits - 17% Crit Rate (27/131)
/w Potency - 124 hits - 29% Crit Rate (36/88)

About 10%

Hydra Tights - Haste
Dread Spikes - 2:42 Recast time... 18 seconds off a 180 second spell.
Stacks /w Haste Spell(you see 2 Haste icons). I imagine it's Magic Haste cap. I can test for certain tomorrow after timer is up.

About 10%

Mind testing in ballista with 1k needles?

Don't do this, even if ballista was a reliable way to test magic damage (and everyone should know by now that it is not), 1000 needles ignores Magic Defense Bonus.

I have a pretty straight-forward way to test for this sort of thing that takes about 20 minutes if someone has full goliard and is attentive to details I can post instructions, just say what jobs you have available that can equip it.

Oh damn, I thought 1k would be fine. nevarmind.

And thanks Eraphiel

What about stumbling sandals? Some newer jobs have them listed on it as well...

Stumbling Sandals and Spelunker's Hat both seem to have a pretty clear purpose to me
