Screw it. I put it up as-is. Basically, it should be fine for adventuring at low(ish) levels, and farming the cube or castle at somewhat higher levels. (It chickens out if your HP drop below 100, although you'll still take another hit before it stops. And you'll still be in combat ...

No, I just didn't read the talk page. I added the data.

Could you say anything about the rate of each of the two non-combats? Is it equal?

Jesus

Castle done. Cube next.

I'm interested in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern because their chip drop deviates from ±25% XP. I think the range is the same (±25% XP = a range of XP/2)... I'm guessing it just shifts that 50% more toward the positive end instead of splitting it evenly.

Jesus

Finished up the Docks.

Next up... The Castle. I noticed the other day that the chip drops haven't been really spaded, and given that a few of the drops overlap I'm curious if they vary between enemies. Also, I've been wondering about xentrium ingots.

Cristiona

Also keep in mind that total averages in the castle require a lot of work to keep up because so many of the enemies don't drop any chips.

... posting): I changed all my equipment, including my talisman.. and the only difference I notice is that the ammount of chips that are drop in the castle are kind of minor... I.E. With the alchemist I got about 200 chips.. with the modifiers 300. and before close to 500 (480) with the castle guard ...

Carygon Nijax

did you do something with the modifiers of the chip percentages?
I don't think they are workinbg properly. I used to take an average of 500 chips by turn o the castle.. and now it is just 300. with the same equipment and the same buffs

There's currently, in my experience, a very slight gap between the robots (~15) and castle (~20), and the castle n' epic-level (29), not to mention the gaping distance between 30 and 70.

Harry Dresden

Thanks Ryme! No more super beetles, and now it's showing the proper +1 for psychic damage instead of the full +8 from the Wolley's. I should have noticed that sooner. >.>

MagiNinjA

I CALLED IT!

Hey! So this should be fixed. Turns out in my update I'd mixed up some of the elemental damage variables with the physical one, and all kinds of weird results were coming out.

Let me know if any weirdness persists. but I think this should do it.

Muhandes

... say so 100% clockwork beetle is immune to psychic. I just had him mega with wolley's. Clockwork beetle is immune to electric. Cris reported it on Castle guard, redux, resistant to ice, while wearing Livia's icicle pendant, which does ice damage.

Satan

What about the alchemist and the clockwork beetle? Also, it /did/ happen for Cris with no elemental modifiers, if I'm not mistaken. Fairly sure it happened for me without them too, but can't say so 100%

Ah, perfect! The guard is supposed to be fully resistant to fire, and the automaton fully resistant to electric. Somehow your dealing the correlated damage is messing up the calculation for physical along side it. Gotta run to work now, but should be easy enough to track down tonight. Thanks detecti...

castle guards become super for my character when wearing hotpants (+5 fire damage). the automaton becomes super when using pocket van de graf generator (+2 electrical damage). without the additional elemental damage mobs act as normal.

my weapon is a xentrium crossbow hitting 7-8 times / round.

That's why I'm wondering if there's a second factor. Most likely candidates would be things that affect elemental damage or elemental resistance.

MagiNinjA

It doesn't happen to everyone. Hasn't happened to me either.

Something very goofy is apparently going on in the castle. I've had reports of super monsters, with up to 10 times the normal hit points. Also reports of minimal regeneration from HP/PP steal items. Apparently it's not every time, it's just some of ...

On my alt, Lord Jareth, the Clockwork Beetle has been the one with mega HP for three days now. Usually around 2200 it seems.

Telekinesis does physical damage.

EDIT: I'm insane.

Doctor M, that's a reasonable request. Sometimes I don't want to clutter things up too much, particularly with more complicated mechanics. But I could see how that might confuse people. Per your question, telekenesis--as of yesterday--also does less damage to physically resistant foes. There are ver...

Off topic (sorry), but when you do something like this, could you post a trivial update notice or something, so those of us who pay attention to such things don't go nuts wondering what we did wrong, to make things not wo...

The mishmash is 50% resistant to physical. Every other foe out there is either resistant 100% or 50% to one element. None of them is resistant to more than one.
