Ty guys, one of my guildies sent me the map before I checked back here, and I have finished the res quest.

luk loss is based on class and base luk (additional luk from equip do not count). a 4 base luk character will ALWAYS loss ~10% including magicians. archers, since they have low hp, more vulnerable to deaths, they lose ~7%. but a luk magician will lose ~5%.

You contradicted yourself in a slightly roundabout way.
Most archers are 4 base LUK, if not then 5. So what would they lose, 7% or 10%?

no, i did say luk loss is based on both base luk and class. i guess saying "a 4 base luk character will always lose ~10% except for archer which lose ~7%" wouldve been more clear.

Oh, lovely. So I just made a LUKless Cleric that loses 10% instead of the normal and regular-LUK Cleric that loses 5%. >_>; -currently has 4/5/9X/4 stats-

[COLOR="Red"]I think the actual exp formula for losing exp is:
5 + (20 / Luk) = Exp Loss.
So, if you have 4 luk, you lose 10%, 5 luk, 9%, 6 luk, 8.333, 7 luk, 7.8666, 8 luk, 7.5%, 9 luk, 7.222%, 10 luk, 7%, and so on getting ever closer to 5 but never quite making it.[/COLOR]

So, i've just been able to 100% two hit skele, i've tested the exp rate, and it seems to be better then nute, but the problem is, the exp rate changes a lot! compared to nutes.

uh stats of skills just incase
14 paralyze
10 fire demon
5 elquiness
26 meteor
9 hero

Just stay near the middle of the second lane from the top and spam meteor. Your exp rate will vary a lot due to your attacker. Make sure your attacker is very strong so that the spawn will keep up with your killing speed. Unlike at newties, your spawn at skelegons depends on how fast skelegons are dying on the bottom.

Hey mages.
If you don't mind, I'd like someone to try and break this formula:
MAX = ((Magic²/1000 + Magic)/30 + INT/200) * Spell Attack - MDEF * 0.5
MIN = ((Magic²/1000 + Magic * Mastery)/30 * 0.9 + INT/200) * Spell Attack - MDEF * 0.6
By 'break' I mean train for a while and see if the damage is right or not. If you get numbers lower than the min or higher than the max, or none near either the min or max, then it's disqualified. Otherwise it remains a candidate. I'm just concerned that it tends to predict damage rather loosely for my current samples, so yeah...

You should do the hunting in the trees... I forget their name but w/e.
If you are a cleric then Zombie Lupins are nice money.
Probably at least a few million. Their dolls sell well if you have a shop.
But if you can- Wraiths are also good money. A little bit more unstable but if you spent 10 levels there you'd get PLENTY of Dark Crystals and probably a red whip or two.

skipping ele amp on a fire mage: is it dumb?
my rationalization is that if i can get a hold of a fire wand my meteor damage wont really be hurt and i would be spending half as much on meteor in 4th job, liek a bish. additionally, 3rd job is mostly poison spam which is irrelevant to my magic...

amp will increase your damage more than the elemental weapons will (amp = 135%, elementals = 125%). if youre planing on purely meteo'ing your way from 130 to 200, sure you can drop amp. but if you wanna have some fun along the way like solo pap in 20 minutes, feel helpful at zakum runs, see some nice raw non-meteo damage, then you should get amp.

i have a hero for that stuff, as cliche as it might sound. and hes pretty pimped out. you dont sound opposed to the idea, thats sort of relieving.
more questions!
about how much are the 103 fire staffs? i havent seen any. and probably for a good reason. >.<
aaaaaand... can you point me to a calculator or table (or tell me) that says how much damage i would do w/ level 1 / level 10 meteo? 28.5k is kind of a magic number for a minimum and i dont know how much magic i need to pull it out of my ass.

it is a bad idea in the sense that your damage will significantly suffer. if you do it and discover something, then the community will learn something they never knew. but if you do it and find out its a bad idea, ill just say "i told you so".
you can give this calculator a shot: http://sleepywood.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1363505

Err... if you have the money to get an elemental weapon, I'm sure you'd be able to afford the mp cost from amp.

Is training at Pac Pinky's in the ghost ship a good idea for my cleric? Cuz wraiths are boring.. Ima level 57 party cleric with maxed Heal, Bless and MP eater. Currently maxing tele.

Seems really good. I went there on my hs mule (in progress.) See what you think.
Make sure you come back and tell us your exp/hr. I'm sure this information on a new map would be helpful to everyone.

Even if it's planning way ahead, what would do better in a brand new server? Lukless F/P or Cleric? F/P have mist while cleric have HS(which would be abused in 4th job more than mist).
;O
How fast could a priest get to 120 in the early days of Deme or Yellonde(New server, 2x Exp, no one to get KSedby) compared to a F/P Mage?

Hmm i've got a question.
I'm just wondering if its smart to skip medi for an f/p? I don't mind spending mesos on pots if it means maxing all the other skills.
Im just looking for opinions. If the meso loss is large and noticeable then i'll probably skimp on the brace and max medi. But then
again... It would be nice having both attack skills maxed
ugh decisions, decisions
EDIT: k so being the idiot that i am i completely ignored cyanne's guide, its not brace vs. medi its brace vs. MPeater. Silly me
guess im ditching mpeater and getting my pbrace to 28.
