Ask Kniraven (pro pwi consultant)

What's the reasoning behind the names of the Morai orders?

What's the longest running faction on PWI?

(And no, I'm not trolling, I'm overly curious of things that have no significance)

Umm i have 3 questions

Ill be very happy if you can answer them

1-What do you think of increasing Dex on a BM to 600 or more?

2-What do you suggest( or is the recommended ) stat allocation for a Claw Barb?

3-Is the difference between this 3 things very extreme in damage output:

*(Best APS set for Sin/BM) including high refines/shards
*(Full r9rr set)including high refines/shards
*(Full Nv 3 Set) including high refines/shards

*im really very curious about this things*

Feel free to answer at any rate

Your thoughts will be appreciated ;D

b:victoryb:thanks

I really doubt that the increased crit/accuracy of making dex that high will make up for the loss of physical attack from not putting it in str... and are you still going to be able to wear heavy armor with dex that high?

._.

See that is why im asking XD

Did not thought of that.

le gasp*

Tho (i think??)there should be a ratio of str/dex that lets you wear HA/ highest dex possible?

I dont know, just dubious bout this

Thanks a lot !!

b:thanks

You can ask me absolutely anything so long as it is remotely related to PWI. I will do the research for you and help solve your question or issue.

When are you quitting pwi? I have got bored of your forum spam. b:bye

Really? About the new starter place, and how your char is invincible until level 40, but no worries, cause you reach 40 in a day or two now anyway. Someone covered all the new quests already? Cool...I would agree they are up to date from an end-game perspective, alright, I guess...

I see by your answer though, there are no plans for it. Thanks. b:thanks

Well if someone's willing to make one and cover the parts where the current stickies are still true... b:surrender

I want to ask about Effective HP, if I calculate someone's Effective HP, then I will get a value of his Effective HP with 0 def/mdef and 0 def level.

There is a mob in 1k for testing damage that can be spawned from an npc, it's called Illusion of Grandeur, it has 1 def and 1 mdef (close to what effective hp is all about, zeroing these and put'em all into HP)

What I want to ask is, if I multiply Effective HP by 4 (converting to pve), does that mean now I have a mob like Illusion of Grandeur but with that much hp ?

I thought the mobs in PV were 102. So there would be no exp nerf. I keep meaning to check but always forget.

Or is there an exp bonus for being 2 lvls lower than them..

Ive been away a long time and have been mucking around with alts to get an idea of how to play again. I have a couple issues/questions you might be able to help me with:

Is the meridian system for RB only? If not, is there a simple guide for using it because it seems as confusing as hell to me. I can open it but cant seem to click on any of the thingies in there. With the meridian system, do you click and fill up the points (gates?? boundaries??? is that what they are called) in order, or do you choose.

Is the war avatar system for RB only. I have been getting nuema here and there but cant seem to work out where I actually get cards from, or how I generate a benefit from getting nuema.

Whats the most common/best way to raise your arcane sky level. Is this for RB only?

What are currently the most preferred ways to make money and xp. When I last left it was purely FC, BH, WS and NW, yet lately FC is much rarer than it used to be (which might be because lots of people are doing RB related activities - ie FSP continuously by the look of it. Also is NW worth going into with undergeared chars, or is there now nothing but R9RR's and similar just one shotting us types.

And Ive asked this of someone else, but want to check your opinion. My 101 chars are pretty badly geared. Is there any reason to delay RB on them. If I use my 101 chars to assist my alts here and there, should I keep one of them at 101 whilst I level the other ones, or RB them all ASAP.

Thanks if you get a chance to reply.

From this thread and this chart i don't see any difference in the xp gained for most common xp instances. LVL 88 (FC XP Room Mobs), 102, 105 (PV Mobs) don't seem to suffer from 100-102 player level changes (0.5 1.0 1.05 multiplier).

102 grants 1m extra xp from AEU Rewards.

So at what point did i get my assumption wrong?

At this moment i don't see too much benefit in remaining level 100.

By 102 i have to worry with Level Difference Damage Reduction only from 105 (while 100 gets to worry 103 and above), and not many "active ones" remained at 105.

If the discussion is put from any other type of leveling then the xp gain nerf stated before is right.


103 and above well that's a totally other thing.

Well there would be a 5% difference in exp for level 103/104 mobs, I really haven't been paying much attention to what mobs I generally come across though. I was thinking it might make a difference in some places with auto-culti, but again I haven't really looked around much.

Ok here's a question. I recently took a quest from the War Avatar Master in Kirin Town (Primal World). The quest was named something like "War Avatar Catalyst x10" and I gave him 10 War Avatar Catalysts from boutique. I was being a lazy **** and didn't read the quest description so Mr War Avatar Master took my 10 Catalysts and I didn't seem to get anything from it.
There is another quest now to give him 20, and I've searched the database and the quests continue to 70 or so Catalysts.
What did I gain from "donating" catalysts or what is the point in doing so?

Sorry if it's a nab question lol

You gain 1 leadership every time you complete the quest. S cards all require 2-3 leadership, so you need between 12-18 leadership to equip a full set of S cards (I believe lower cards may require less). I believe you start with 10 leadership, so you will likely need to do this quest a few times.
