Small increase? Try large. It's because of sites like mpcforums allowing private hacks to become public, along with the katana hacks' site.

[evilbutterfly]

1) The increase in hackers isn't a big deal. Especially since rankings aren't out, it's not like we're competing. Personal, I only think cheating is really bad in competitive games where one person hacking can severely ruin other peoples' fun while playing. If you've ever tried playing an FPS and had a hacker own your whole team instantly, you know it's not fun. I mean, I still report hackers and all, but if I see them vaccing I'd just CC same way I would if any other person was controlling a map.
2) Level Sex has been achieved. One more till 3rd job. Also, I hit 3808 on a Jr. Grupin on my way back to Orbis. I might be able to do more, I'm not sure, but that's my new max damage so far that I've seen.
3) Eric, lots of IL mages get ice strike right away and move to Bains once it's max, I think. I'm not sure what kind of exp they get, but you can get rich as hell off of Bains, cuz they drop a lot of crazy stuff and there are plenty of safe spots from which to snipe. I'm not sure what level you can start training on Bains, but it can't be long after getting Ice Strike, 4amp and maybe booster. I'd say do Strike -> 4amp -> 11 booster -> T-Spear and once that's maxed maybe you could try Vikings. I'm not sure though... =\
4) ONE MORE LEVEL TILL THIRD JOB ZOMG
5) EXPLOSION NEXT LEVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =O

Someone's excited.

Do not bring up MPC Downloads here, people that visit that website need to get the viruses they put in all of their fakes anyway. Katana's isn't well enough known -.- I've never even heard of it. Maybe it just isn't in the IDProject=>GzP=>MPC chain or something.

Try GzP, it's a lot more legitimate. Also the UH has a lot of more generic stuff. However the UH has stuff that's illegal to a serious point -.- If you don't go out of your way to look for stuff to get thrown in jail for, though, you won't find it

Still 65... I plan to be 67 by the end of this weekend and 70 by the next. Yay for me and my obssessive playing..
O_o

[Afrobean]

Um

How about we not post links to sites with hacks on them. At least make it harder for these dumbasses who want to cheat.

I BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN SAVED FROM GOING POOR... for a time


Got from pq. 1.5mil right? I would use it but I need money more.

[banditcom]

Yeah sell it, Tyler. Don't worry about extra str on a cape for a while. Just get a +5 icarus (2).

I'd personally probably go comp when it comes to ice/lit mages if I wanted to train in Ludi. I'd probably go the 4 amp 11 booster max ice strike and train at bains, while maxing comp then amp. At vikings, an ice lit throws an ice strike then a few t-spears, ice strike, a few t-spears, rinse and repeat. There are plenty of sniping spots, however.. With the faster attack, not needing to throw ice strike in between (which would only be thrown for freezing), and still being able to freeze the guy you're attacking, I'd definitely choose comp over spear... You'd do way more damage per minute. And trust me, spear is very slow.

So yeah... after typing that up, I'd definitely choose that route.

[evilbutterfly]

You'd do way more damage per minute.

T-Spear = 170 base attack. 170 * 1.5 = 255 base attack on lit-weak things.
IL Comp = 140 base attack. 140 * 1.25 = 175 base attack on lit-weak things.

Thus, T-Spear is 45.7% stronger than IL comp when fighting things that are weak to lightning but not ice.

Also, level 11 booster makes everything about the same speed. I saw a thread on SW and some guy timed his spells to see how many shots per minute he could do with and without booster. He found that when booster gave +1 speed it let him attack just as fast as when it gave +2 speed for some spells. What people said in the topic is that basically there are only a few levels of speed for spells. Magic Claw and Bolt are Speed 3, FA and stuff like Ice Strike are Speed 2, and Explosion and T-Spear are Speed 1. Booster gives +2 speed, but it will only go up to the highest speed. So basically, Claw won't get any faster, Ice Strike won't be any faster with 11 booster than with 1 booster, and the slow skills (Explosion/TSpear) will be about the same speed.

Of course, some skills have a delay, kinda like how crossbows fire slower even if they're the same "speed" as a comparable bow. I'm not sure how big the delay is on T-Spear (didn't look too huge in videos I've seen), but since it's almost 50% strong than IL comp, I doubt that (with +2speed booster) IL comp could outdamage it.

But yeah, I'd ask an IL mage that has already gotten everything before making a decision.

[ckj846]

Sigh... I'm slowly getting there. =)

PS Has anyone seen the ban list on the main site from 3/6/2006 to 4/5/2006? o_O; It's huge. Not putting it here because it's too much of a page stretcher...

[banditcom]

My heart skipped a beat. Scrolling trough the ban list out of boredom:

[evilbutterfly]

You know bandit, you should be careful though. They have banned people for "selling NX Cash" just because they used it for multiple accounts. You've paid for your bros and such as well as yourself, so yeah, that'd suck if they banned you for that, but ten cuidado.

EDIT: "reportmealot" got banned. That's definitely the kind of name I would use if I wanted to hack.

[Chromer]

45% to 43. Even though I can now 1HK Jepes with my Level 4 Med on, the exp for Jepes which usually would be .03% is now only .02%. There goes that plan. Now I need a monster that gives .03% but not Block Golems at Ludi. I can't stand having to go down 70+ floors in EOS just to get to Golems. Any help for a Fizard?

[evilbutterfly]

Chromer, you have to learn that getting a low % per hit isn't that big of a deal anymore. When you're fighting Jr. Pepes, you may only get .02% per hit, but you're killing a half dozen or more at a time. If you get .01% more from block gollems but you have to hit them more and climb farther and get fewer per platform, then they're not really worth it. Plus, the regular gollems being mixed in makes them not nearly as good as they could be. I'd stick with Jr. Pepes if I were you. You can move to Jetis around level 50 when you always hit them and 2hk most of the time.

But yeah, get used to not getting a ton of exp every hit or even every kill. Fire mages slow down as we approach 70, after which we speed back up. I'll tell you after I pass 70, but I get the feeling that the slow levels are well worth it, cuz 3rd job will rock. =D

[Bahamut-X]

Yea chromer, the % you gain on monsters has little effect on where you train. The only factors are how fast they spawn, if they mob well (for some classes, may not be the best for sins because they lack a decent mob attack until 3rd job), and the terrain (a flat map like jetis vs. something like lorangs where you sometimes gotta jump around a bit). Lorangs mostly give me 0.01% and sometimes 0.02% but I still train there because the spawn is incredible and there are huge mobs which I can kill easily.

[Tokzic]

Chris and Noah are going to hit third job and I'm not even going to be around to see it.

;_;

I should stab my father.

[Bahamut-X]

Hit 46 ;D


Feels good to be on the better half of the 40's.

[Afrobean]

Spent all day out with my IRL friends.

Never got my level. Still a few hours before I go to sleep though. I should be 69 soon.
