First cast (G13) lunar nirvana refines marginally better than R8, but has on average about 300 less base attack. The better refining isn't enough to make up the difference, even at +12. Second cast (G15) lunar nirvana refines a bit better than R8 and has roughly equal base damage, with the potential for better addons.

R8 is much cheaper than nirvana at the moment, at 72 gold. Not sure what gold prices are like on your server, but here that's only 100-120m. If anything, if you're looking for inexpensive equipment you should be considering R8 first before looking at TT99/Lunar/Nirvana. Also, is this alt on the same account as your main,…

I believe it just shows a blank if the other person is in an instance, or otherwise off the main world map.

Warning: Math ahead. The result's down below past the next bit of red text. Triple Sparked BIDS: Base magic attack + 700% (Triple Spark Bonus) + 500% (Spell bonus) + ~14k (Spell bonus), all of which is water damage. That is, (Base + 1200% + 14k) water damage. Triple Sparked BT: Base magic attack + 700% (Triple Spark Bonus)…

The preferred method for leveling a ground pet is the Cube of Fate, room 4. It's filled with level 150 mobs with 10 HP, so each one will give the maximum possible XP per kill to your pets. As for getting there, Dice Tickets are dirt cheap right now because of the Mysterious Chip sale. Just keep trying until you roll a 3.…

4850-5453 times 5 is 24250-27265 per second. For comparison, with my current equipment but refining R8 bow to +12 and 2xDrakeflames, I would do 14030-18774 at 0.91 attacks per second, or around 12767-17084 per second. Even five-year-olds can tell you that twenty-seven thousand is more than seventeen thousand. Here's a…

Blade Tempest is Base + 200% + 6.2k fire, and Base + 200% + 6.2k Physical as well. That is, a total of 2x Base + 400% + 12.4k. Therefore, if your base magic attack is greater than your weapon attack + 1.6k (which it should be, easily), you'll do more raw damage. Especially if you triple spark it, since BT effectively gets…

It's not stashable.

Mobs in Heaven and Hell have pretty terrible drop rates for DQ items. Stick to mobs on the world map, or in the past maps.

Actually, cooldown time begins at the start of casting time, not at the end. So you have 1 second of channeling, 1 second of casting, and a tiny fraction of a second before you can start channeling again.

... there is a mistake in reading. Nowhere does he say that he's making 1m per six minutes. Six minutes refers only to how long it takes him to run a solo 2-1.

Herb Yuanxiao are exactly the reason MP becomes less of an issue at 75. They're more expensive recently due to high token prices, but even so they're much cheaper than almost all alternate sources of MP. As for sharding, generally Sapphires (Magic Attack) in weapon, Citrines (HP) and/or Garnets (Physical Defense) in armor.

Yes, I believe it's a translation issue. It isn't really a 100% speed reduction so much as a 100% increase in interval between attacks, which is actually a 50% attack speed reduction. Attack speed increases work the same way, for example Demon Quickshot is really a 30% reduction in interval between attacks, or ~42% attack…

There's no good guide that I can think of, but looking up the item in question on http://pwdatabase.com/pwi works just as well.

A level 10 Subsea Strike is a 30% amp, whereas Extreme Poison is only 20%. And it's not as if assassins are ever short on chi.

Also, Perfect World is Chinese, not Japanese, though of course they share a character set. The Chinese/kanji for Perfect World is 完美世界. Beyond that, I can't really help you much. edit: You might be able to get something from the Auction House: Search Filters thread in the Trading Post forum, that was our attempt at making…

It's a total of 120% for the first 20 seconds (50% base + extra 70%), then 50% for the remainder of the time. The two effects are separate buffs.

1 strength every 8 levels for the win! http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=11daf5ba8376d1b9

He made a simple mistake and put his equipped stats in instead of his base stats. If you lower each of the stats by the equipment bonus, it comes out to within a point or two of what it should.

It does add damage, but the added damage doesn't get multiplied by your dexterity modifier, so it's almost always better to shard a garnet instead. There's really no point in adding such a tiny amount of elemental damage.

You don't drag the wings themselves anywhere, just have them equipped. Now press E, and look for the Fly button. It should be the fifth one from the left, in the first row. Drag that icon to any of your skill bars, doesn't matter which one, and press it to fly. Press it again to land.

You can. Go to filters, and type in the item. You do need to spell it right though, and it's case sensitive. For example, 'Deicide' or even 'cide' would work, 'deicide' or 'Decide' would not.

In the past I believe sending a new ticket on the same issue automatically bumped it to the bottom of the pile. When I got one of my accounts banned by accident, I was able to resolve it within 24 hours by emailing the address it says to right there on the support site. edit 1: edit 2: Just checked my email logs. Exactly…

Chocolate? Do want :D

1. They're considered the best 'tank' pet other than a herc, in other words the best free 'tank' pet. 2. BB reduces all damage by 50%, and Wyvern has a rather nasty physical aoe. BB makes it easier for clerics. As for why it's not used elsewhere, the reason varies. Some bosses interrupt it (Rankar, Polearm, Gaurnob).…

I believe Watcher of Chasm can also interrupt BB, though I'm not certain as I was dualboxing both the BB cleric (low 7x) and tank (95 archer with mediocre gear) at the time. All I know is that BB went down then I got 3-shot.

I used a +6/2xG7 W&C for PvE from 69 all the way to 95, though also with Bracers of Blood Moon and R4 chest, and Demon Quickshot towards the end. Was still reliably outdamaging TT80s, TT90s, Vast Lands, and even low-refined Broad Lands.

This is what I meant by mid runs (mid boss number), and by full runs costing more, sorry if I wasn't clear. I'd estimate it'd take at least 2 or 3 times as long to do a full 1-3, without more than maybe doubling profits. As it compares to DQ grinding, depends on availability of say, spiders, and if you can find a buyer or…

Honestly, past 70ish there's very little advantage to be had in making your own gear, save convenience and vanity. The best equipment is typically TT/mold gear, with preset stats, so you get the same result no matter who makes it. Blacksmith especially is a pain due to the high mat costs of weapons, and it takes an absurd…

You could definitely duo 1-2/1-3 with a cleric, so long as you time your sparks or otherwise resist/interrupt drummer's lightning. Likewise 2-2/2-3, except Wurlord and Cosmoforce(Ape). Just BB/occasionally crabmeat should be enough for rest. For 1-3 I'd recommend just mid runs to Drum, actually. Only takes ~15-20 min per…
