looks good, but all i can think about is 2 more videos until i can see Kunoichi awakening in action.
 
Started to Enhance my Liverto tonight.

So far it is down to 20 Durability, and +11

I have fail stacks saved up on 4 characters, 17, 19, 20, 44 fail stacks on each so now its really just a matter of having the silver for repairs and RNGesus.

On the bright side, my Reblath is +14 getting the liverto to +11, and it also built the 17, 19, 20 fail stacks on the alts. so i did not get the dreaded +14 then +15 enhancement on the gloves and have to start that over.

For reference i had 91 armor stones and 71 weapon stones when i started, i ended up buying 11 more armor stones. So you need to expect to have at least 100-120 armor stones to build fail stacks.

Currently sitting at 45 Weapon stones, 1 armor stone, but i should be done with armor stones for awhile since all my armor is +15.

Lucky for me I've been playing diablo 3 all week while i train my horses so i had 7 daily boss scrolls, and about 22 hunters seals, and i did all those scrolls today which basically gave me 80 or so armor stones just from doing my scroll for the week in a single sitting lol.

I am likely going to hold onto the +14 Reblath gloves to save them for building fail stacks for something in the future and only melt it down when it hits +15

edit-
Got it to +12, and have 23, 24, 44 fail stacks left, but its down to 16 durability and i don't have the silver to get more memory fragments to keep going tonight.

Fishing hotspots are weird... There's one spot neat Torphin where you get no junk at all and mostly just blue, green and gold fishes (and relic shards and silver keys) but if you move a bit in either direction you start to get crap. Got ~2 million from single trip.

Very nice :)
Was wondering when you do the fail stacking do you have the same piece you failed on 1 character then swap to another and fail more on it ?

Yeah i only used one piece and would transfer it over, like i would get 5 or 6 fail stacks then try to go from +7 to +8 on the liverto, then if it worked i would build the stacks up to 8 or 9 for the +9 attempt but if it failed still and i had say 12 fail stacks now, i would transfer the gloves over to an alt and the weapon and stones to then build up another 8 or 9 stacks, then try again and if it worked, i would then transfer everything back over to the character with 12 fail stacks to use those up and if it still failed and say was at 15 stacks i would go back and build stacks on the other character again.

just going back and forth to make sure i never wasted any large fail stacks when i didnt need too, to save them for some higher enhancement attempts, that is how i ended up with fail stacks spread across character to avoid wasting them on lower levels.

I just need to get some silver to keep going to pay for memory fragments for repairs.
 
I recently cashed in some hunter seals and with 63 armor and 25 weapon stones I'm going to try things :)
Having some weird luck on crafting grunil helmets all blue for one reason or another
 
Made some progress today, Made about 8 million silver today farming trying to get Rum for the event (i still need 400 more rum, have 200), so was able to repair enough of the liverto to take it from +12 to+14.

Going to cost about 27million to fully repair it, then i need to decide if i want to gamble for the +15 or force it and just spend another 33million to repair it one last time, that last 33million could be spent over time tho so i don't need to do it all at once just get it enough durability to get it into a usable state that i don't need to repair every 5 minutes, and then as i get extra silver pick up memory fragments.

No more dying while casting Red Moon.
While casting Chaos: Red Moon, you will now take less damage from back attacks.
 
The absolute nerd rage over the massive increase to silver you get at the higher level thresholds has gotten pretty thermonuclear on some forums. And on the official forums, the usual "whaa whaa, I'm rage quiting and taking all my $$$ with me if you don't compensate me!" is pretty strong.

lol its not like they can't just earn more silver in game faster than it takes to go from 50-55 to get that 10mill, you can make 10mill in silver just killing stuff in a DAY, and thats not counting if you are in a spot that drops MOS or Witch's earings that can sell for that much alone.
 
Still not a reason to level up when you can be a master trader, fisher, etc without hitting 30.

my reaction is that people just don't know how to make silver

most obvious method is either via mob grinding or fishing

I got full +15 Grunil, +15 Yuria Staff, and +15 Steel Dagger with a Lvl 51 Witch and all the pieces were bought at +15 off of the market place

I built up most of my silver via using processing, alchemy, and the worker system to sell stuff on the marketplace

The official forum is like BioWare forums. You go nuts while reading it and want to dig your eyes out. Well, I guess the former is even worse since it's invaded by certain minority and the topics and posts are weird has hell...
 
I've seen things like that happening so many times lately that I'm starting to wonder about their RNG...


Hmmm... I guess this is good enough for now.

I just enchanted my bow from +10 to +12 with 2 characters and some fail stacks , used 8 on my main and was successful in 1 go and the last one I used 5 fail stacks and got it done by wasting 3 weapon stones.
That was not to bad I wasted a good amount of armor stones on a +9 helmet and that was the only down side of it (not more then 30)
 
Got a second T7 horse today.

T6N Lv.28 (3/4/0) + T6H Lv.22 (3/3/2) = T7 Male (0/7/0)

All monsters will drop black stones? Official forums are buzzing with people asking if that means *every* monster will *100%* drop a black stone during this event or if it's just that the black stones were added to the loot table of *every* monster and there is still a chance of you not getting one.

seems pretty obvious to me, there is no way a monster is going to drop a black stone 100% of the time as then there would be thousands of stones in every players pocket.

I agree. Its more logical that all monsters have a chance to drop black armor. Which is nice but the chances are probably pretty low. Farm a hundred and get maybe one or two depending on the monster and level in question?

When the patch notes were originally posted, it was not that simple. They updated the patch notes to indicate there was a chance of them dropping off all mobs. The original patch notes did not specify any drop rate/chances, so people were starting to trip out. The patch notes are notorious for not being very detailed/specific on a lot of things. "so-and-so feature has been changed" is a fairly common thing and nowhere near descriptive enough.

New maintenance might explain it ;)
Reason:

  • Fixing the bugged event "Road to Valencia [Black Stone drop from all monsters]"
  • Fixing Training EXP Boost

Seems they had to make some changes still ;)

What do the 3 sets of numbers refer to?
Click to expand...

The horses color values.

Red/White/Black

You need a minimum of one of the colors of the foal in order to get that foal, and since T7's are currently purebreds that means you need 7 of one of the colors to have a chance to get that foal.

So the male had 3/4/0 and the female had 3/3/2

Which means they both total had 7 in white.

I could of got pretty much any red or black horse as well (assuming they had equal to or less then one of the red/black combined numbers), but if i wanted a chance at a T7 white i needed to have 7 in white.
 
The horse breeding sounds damn complicated in this game. /chuckle

its not too bad, you can pretty much just mash any horse together as long as they are of high enough level and tier, its only when trying for a T7 do you need to worry about the color values, and even that wont be for long since on the 1st of next month we are likely getting the rest of the non purebreds in the T7 line added to the game so you can go back to not worrying about color values unless you want a chance at a purebred.
