In order to gain maximum efficiency, you would need to feed between 14 and 24. If you feed when above or below those numbers you only get something like .75%

Feeding between 11-25 gives 1 point. So feeding at 11 and then again at 21 gives 2 intimacy points.

Well s I understand at least.

Thats how I do it. I hope my math is wrong cause 1 year to get homunculus S is just....

Yay, mine turned cordial yesterday! He will be loyal before I'm a Gen.

[razirazo]

Do we all have to personally contact GMs to get informed about events nowadays? (OCA-chance of lost dragon, drops event)

So can we get an official statement that you'll look over and fix the flee issue for homunculus?

The flee issue is that they currently are using the pre-renewal flee formula, which was Level + Agi. The renewal formula for flee is 100 + Level + Agi. Essentially, they're missing out on 100 flee due to the differences in formulas, which drops their expected dodge rate from typically ~95% to ~0%. To understand how stupid that is, a level 99 homunculus will lose 1v1 to a Desert Wolf. A level 99 player with 130 agi would be able to dodge most attacks from monsters their level. A level 99 homunculus with a typical ~130 agi will not be able to dodge anything near its level.

That and Filir's skill Accelerated Flight which states it gives +60 flee only adds flee to the panel, but does not actually increase its dodge chance at all. Known issue since forever.

If I do the math right and I play 6 hours per day, feeding homunculus from 11 to 31 every 20 mins it would take me 1 Year to get it twice to loyal?

Is that true oO?

On your schedule, you'll reach loyal twice in 50 days / under 2 months.

I ask about it so many times, and every time I do my post was like invisible to Heim. He never reply to any of my question regarding that.

4.Gramps Turnins:
70 - 95 Red and Yellow Novus
105 120 Arclouse and Ancient Mummy
125 - 140 Knocker and Imp

Um, we just had Novus a few weeks ago. I think you ought to space the rotation a bit more widely....

Also, when will Overlook access be fixed? It requires 2 reset stones for three days of access (not one stone). Could you just require 1 stone and give a week or two weeks of access?

Let's be reasonable here. You're asking for 2 reset stones per character. I don't know a single non-VIP player who has gone in there since the change from 30-days per one stone. And at one point, I was planning to take my friend's 66 alcemist into there, but you'd better believe that's not going to happen now. It's just not worth it... Easier to sell two reset stones and just buy a marc or phen card... and not have worry about getting it done in three days.

Is Samurai Spectre affected by boosted drop rate too? I hunt this MvP religiously and I want to know if he's worth gumming now....

Samurai Specter has boosted card drop.

[Andini]

hows the weds project of returnin back kafra points coming along?

[Melfina]

My vanil is "Shy" but the skill window shows the "Self-destruction" skill. It's been loyal in the past though and I never used the skill, don't know if this has anything to do with it.

Is it a bug or is it safe for me to evolve it?

EDIT: My homun's EXP is also a negative % and it doesn't seem to get to normal :S

Random question, is it intended that "Onigiris" are account bound? The description doesn't say anything about it being account bound.

[aurasphere]

Yes they are... IF you work as a team you can totally do it. Lol I would solo those small little suckers when renewal hit on my LK... Please don't tell me It's impossible, because it's not. You just have to stop thinking like a soloer and start thinking like a party/team.

With a party you can totally do it. And FYI TI's were made mainly to revive parties because according to the player base parties aren't "good enough".

Start thinking up strategies. Don't just recruit 4 Wizzes who are super squishie and have no tanks. Or no healers... cause I've seen parties that are like that. All they do is try to maximize killing when they can't stand all the mobs and then they complain that they CAN'T do it/It's too hard.

Me and those weaker players knew these. The problem is not in how parties should be formed. The problem is that no one wants to do it, because the monster discourages them. They cannot tank it yet, and those who can are usually out of level range and thus don't want to party with them.

It's not the party that's a problem, it's the monster chosen for the TI.

If the monster isn't a problem, surely there would be at least 2 or 3 70-95 TI party recruitment each day? Which I don't see so far.
and since no one can do it, then why bother making it available to them? Hence me saying it should have weaker monsters or give 70-85 their own TI.



Though I have to admit, it's not a guarantee that changing it will increase the amount of 70-95 TI parties, since currently there's a lack of lv 70-85 people it seems.
There's still that wide gap between weaker players (especially foreign ones who can't buy Kafra things/VIP due to the currency) and stronger ones who are already 3rd Class with much better gears, and that gap happens to fall in the lv 70-95 category, the time where grinding is at its peak.

To be honest, it's just a food for thought really....it's up to Heim and the others regarding how it should be.






And I shouldn't even be here now.....gotta go.

It's a pity there aren't more dragons in the game, it would've been nice to have more of those turn ins ):
But yeah 70-85 would've had an ideal monster: petites. That sky petite TI brings back memories...
85-95 could then more easily do novus...I shudder to think how mobby an instance TI-only map of those is x_x

Ah well. No real complaints here, just praying that we don't get trolled and get our 50% KP refund back after next maint after the groove pack leaves >_>

Question about the spotlight. Just how do you expect us to complete this when the sashimi knife quest isnt handing over the #@$%ing dagger >_> Completed over...and overr....and over.... and still no sashimi knife. I dont think the quest is bugged ( because I high doubt anyone is stupid enough to advtertise amatsue and go out of their way to post details on the offical site without making sure the quests are working as in tended...or have I overestimated the system? =.=;;; but the success rate is satanically low? o.O has anyone else completed the quest? Just checking if I'm the only one dealing with this bull$*&%?

[big742003]

Well now that we're on the Sashimi Knife, does it drop sushi from fish mobs fairly regularly? Has anyone played with theirs? I haven't got one yet. How much HP does sushi heal anyhow?

[eatMagnetic]

50 ~ 60 - not that good :/ fresh fish or ice cream still "better"
