Hi,

it seems the flapping Angel Wings do not work as intended. It says in the description "+3% ASPD". On my hunter I have a based ASPD of 175 right now. 3% would be 5.25. Rounding down, it should up my ASPD to 180. It only appears to up my ASP to 176..that is just one point. Hardly worth the price I am paying for it. Why does it not do what it says it will do?

Thanks

I used to think they same thing.. 3% actually adds to your aspd .3.. >_<

Apsd doesn't work the way you think it does. It's 3% reduction in the delay between attacks and the numbers are floored so until you hit the next whole number it's rounded down.

If you can't make it to the end of the article, don't worry. Most of us probably didn't either.

Long story short, just look at the graph on the bottom of the link. And welcome to iRO, one of the few games on this planet where calculus actually comes in useful.

The problem is the ASPD number in your status window is a poor indication of your attack speed. You attack 3% faster with the hat. The "ASPD" number doesn't go up by 3%.

Rather, it is 193-175 = 18 delay, 3% of that delay is knocked off, so 17.46 delay.. you're really gaining 0.54 aspd points from the hat.

FYI flapping angel wing is not a good hat. Like 4 years ago it was some kind of decent but quickly became weak. It really should have its price-point lowered.

If I had to make a very generalized statement about the cash shop system, it would be that the hats sold directly from the kafra shop are for the most part useless, and that the ones with game-breaking effects are all gambling rewards from "lucky boxes".
