Q, Is a UA's Soul Driver the same speed as a Dawn Warriors?

yes

Just came back from a bit of a break and I'm sort of lost on where to go on my pally.
LHC is new to me so that's why I'm thinking things have changed.

I'm using a +2 all skills helm atm, making it +4 to everything with co.

Blast 28 (32)
Guardian 8 (12)
ACB 8 (12)
DS 8 (12)
Achilles 1 (5)
Stance 7 (11) (? it's around here - using my memory atm)
Rush 1 (5)
HH 1 (5)

I have 24 points saved up atm
I have always been partial to stance
This is more of a training char than anything else, I'm fairly certain HH will be my best move but looking for some guidance.

Just a minor note, for eg. Guardian, you can have 10+4 = level 14 due to gear. It's only max level that equips can't surpass, skillbook limits are not a problem.

I think HH is an ok way to go, personally I'd take Guardian over Stance (if you can get the books...) - Guardian defends against more damage (and stuns/etc.)

you'd have to go to either bearwolves, or crockies, but stereo is lurking so i'll let him answer *sits

Interesting, wasn't going to test it out and end up wasting the points but good to know that I can.

Ok. that's kinda what I figured it'd be. I honestly can't remember if I wound up finding a guardian book or not but I know that's why I moved on to stance at one point.

Thanks

How actually paladin's dual charge elementel advantage work?
Coz fire-lighting charge on slimy (lighting-weak) lower my damage compared with single lighting charge. Doesn't matter which charge was cast first.
On silkie jr. (fire-weak) dual charge give almost same damage as single fire charge.

when dualcharging, lightning takes a secondary place, and the bonus for weakness is less than when used alone, i can't remember the exact formula, but there was a picture, let me see if i can find it...

EDIT: here is the multipliers, if you want the actual formula, you should ask stereo/viaje or someone else

http://i56.tinypic.com/f2tzzt.pngoad

Formula, while using 2 charges, takes
Pw - primary element weakness: 0.5 (resistant), 1.0 (neutral), 1.5 (weak)
Pd - primary element damage (137 holy, 130 fire, 120 ice, iirc)
Sw - secondary element weakness (always lightning)
Sd - secondary element damage (125 for max lightning)
Using the numbers as above, the total percent multiplier is
Pw * Pd + 0.1 * Sw * Sd

That 0.1 is the reason Lightning-weak stuff should be approached with Lightning alone. If you dual charge, your elemental damage comes out to 130*1.0 + 0.1*125*1.5 = 148.75% (as on the chart). If you single charge, you get 125*1.5 = 187.5%.

Hey there. I just recently returned from a hiatus on Maple. I have a 74 White Knight. I really want to upgrade my equipment, since it's probably crap considering how all my equipment is gotten through quests or drops. Here's my equipment at the moment. Let me know what I should look for on the FM. I have around 6~ million mesos to spend, if that helps.

Andras Hat
Green Orientican
Mithril Platine Pants
Mithril Brist
Blue Carzen Boots
Sparta
Silver Ancient Shield (can't use since Sparta is 2H)

Free Spirit Piercing
Evolving Ring Lv. 15
Mushroom Kingdom Guardian Medal
White Belt

I really want to get rid of my Sparta, since it's a 2hander and I heard that they're not as "good" as 1handers + shield.

Also, a general question about training. Should I still be using slash blast, or do I start using charged blow + charges? I've been using slash blast for a while, and I feel like it's a newb move on my part since I do like 3-4k damage on average with them, which doesn't seem right.

Anyways, thanks in advance for any responses!

for equips id say take advantage of the professions system and make miner mules and try to craft yourself some %str items. I haven't done it myself but I've heard of good results from doing so. Maybe someone else can fill you in further who has actually done it

Question: What's the fastest 1H BW above level 70?
I'm buying 9 1H GM BW Scrolls. I was wondering if I should use them on a Crushed Skull. I think it's Normal (6).

There are some Fast(5) Duck Tubes hanging around, but they have 25 att less than a Crushed Skull, iirc.
I'm in the same boat as you on GM Scrolls, but I suggest no on the Crushed Skull, because CWKPQ doesn't work so there is no incoming supply of them, but if your server has some decent ones hanging around, by all means buy one. I'm making a Reverse Allargando (or buying one if one shows up), personally.

I bought a Timeless Allargando in FM for 55m and 9 1H BW scrolls for 20-40m each. It's a really good temporary weapon until I can get a better 1H sword to use my other scrolls on. Right now it's maxed out at 151 attack with 2 slots left. How much do you think someone would buy mines for?

Nothing, if you equipped it. Can't trade a Reverse/Timeless after equipping it. Otherwise, I have no clue. People have been hoarding Kradia's 1h BW GM Scrolls for Demon Slayers (even if they don't use BWs, they like putting out that idea so people will pay large amounts for useless scrolls), and using other scrolls on useless items. I saw a perfect Raven's Wing with only 126 att being sold for max meso, which is pretty dumb for the level you get it at and the time it would take to wait till 110 or so for a better weapon. I say if you can trade it, put it up for max meso, and look for offers.

I have a couple crushed skulls lying around.
I think I'll perfect a crushed skull.

Above level 70, there's 1 fast(5) and a bunch of normal(6) 1h BWs.
The duck tube (level 100, 90 attack) is the fast(5).
The highest normal(6) weapons are the VIP 1h BW (118 atk), Crushed Skull (115 atk), Agares Bloody Hammer (114 atk), Timeless Allargando (110 atk), Reverse Allargando (108 atk). Of course the Timeless and Reverse average +5 and +3 atk from leveling up, respectively. And the last 3 are all untradeable-on-equip, so you can never resell them.

You could of course look this up yourself using the purple database link.

Does anything in the game still drop stonetooths? And the 2h sword multiplier is 1.32 right? what is the 1H one?

1.2 and 1.34 are 1h and 2h now.

Oh, thanks.
So I guess Crushed Skull is the way to go.
