Myths Busted

[TheMainVein]

Idea for a Myth Buster thread (potential sticky) to answer all the questions that people ask over and over again. I don't know all the answers so all contribution and missed things could be great, I'd edit the post and as a team I think it'd be great if we all knock of each Myth or Fact one at a time, GM input would also be great, to prevent questions being asked over and over. Just to get the ball rolling:

Body Luck Helps With Gemming/Refining:
Myth

Accuracy Helps With Turn Undead:
Myth

Accuracy and A.Speed Helps With Mining:
Fact

Poison Attack Helps With Spell Poison/PoisonSword:
Fact

Slow Attack Helps With Slow/Freeze Abilities:
Fact

Body Luck Effecting Drops From Body On Death.
Myth.

Will edit if contributions are made, if these above could be clarified as well I'll highlight which are Myths and which is Fact!

 

[Jicaa]

1. Refining I am going to say Fact, Gemming I am not 100% sure so Myth

2. Myth imo

3. Fact

4. Sam said it does but I'm gonna go Myth

5. Fact

 

[Merlin]

by 5 do you mean
1 -curse
2-fc
3-bliz?
as I think 2-3 maybe affected.. not 100% sure

It says on forum that PA affects PSN and PC - but I've tested and I don't think it does. Taos been bummed with gems really. Agil is highly expensive now and not as effective as it should be. PA is useless. SC is hardly worth the risk!

My addition

BodyLuck effecting drops from body on death.
Myth. Random imo.

 

[Silencer]

I think there is something tied to body drops though, as higher levels and those who hunt/level as opposed to the town fighters, seem to drop less.

Are the answers based on testing on THIS server? Experiences on other servers? Testing that happened on euro or mir3(where appropriate).
Does everything work as supposed to here?
Does everything work as stated by team?
Do you believe any of the replies?

BH confirmed on a thread a while back that body luck affects refining

IMO, it works with gems too, altho people have gemmed with 0 body luck and it has worked.

I have a theory, that it counts as a small percentage. So even with 0 body luck, you can still get lucky.

example, something along the lines of;

+1 from gem = 70% chance + bodyluck% (1-5%) = 75% chance in upgrade
+2 from gem = 60% chance + bodyluck% (1-5%) = 65% chance in upgrade
+3 from gem = 45% chance + bodyluck% (1-5%) = 50% chance in upgrade

Can't belive people are still looking into body luck so much.

Its really quite simple. The more body luck you have, the less chance you have of dropping items on your body. (Ive never dropped anything from my body with +5)

agreed

IMO, gems have the same chance at all levels +1 , 2 ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6 7, the chances do not get worse.
60% work 20% don't work 20% break

+3 feels harder because you go through that process 3 times. and chances are you will see a destroy during it..

in my mind i believe gemming was a major factor in why AceM2 never stayed up. gems chances didnt change no matter how much was added to an item.

should be change tbh, defo needs to be more risky the more stats you have added. minus atleast 10% for each successful application of a stat. would be more like 20-25% imo though

 

[bayya]

well I have dropped from body when luck5
my miner makes gems without many failing to make and is never more than luck 1 and has gemmed successfuly more than failed or broke item.

 

[CantTouchThis]

Agil not as effective on this server?! Wtf?!

 

[+ULFBERH+T]

Sam should post and clear it all up, other mmo tell you what **** does and doesnt do

 

[Silencer]

Not as affective as it should be for the money spent and risk to make the high end kits, Agil + 15 should make you a lot more evasive than it does :P
