Question & Answer Thread

[Wibberish]

Could someone explain the P. Atk Spd and M. Cast Spd stats to me? Is it that P. Atk Spd only raises the speed of normal attacks and M. Cast Spd makes all skills execute faster, or that P. Atk Spd raises skill execution speed for all weapons except wand and staff, or that it varies from skill to skill, etc etc?

Also, if one has OC that can be used in a bazaar and OC that cannot be used in a bazaar, will buying something from the cash shop exhaust all non-bazaar OC first or not?

[but you can always sell it to yourself by glitching a bazaar]

How do you glitch a bazaar? I've been selling things to another account and then selling it back which makes me lose 60% of the price to tax instead of 30%.

M. Cast Speed does absolutely nothing. All attack speed and cast speed is dependent on P. Attack Speed.

Non-spendable OC will be spent first from my experience.

Disconnecting yourself during loading at a specific time will glitch your bazaar.

Which Seki dungeon is recommended for weapon farming? I ran Den of Needles earlier. Everything was fine until I got to Death Scythe, and then he slightly scythed me to death. Twice. Lag was responsible for one death, the other was just poor reflexes. I only managed one Just Guard, which probably saved me from a third death. Seriously, I was taking around 2k damage per hit. Two hits and I'm a corpse. I'm going to need some stronger weapons if I'm to get any further.

Also, does it make any real difference whether you side with Ieyasu or Mitsunari? I chose Mitsunari just because I'm intrigued by Kitsune, but I was wondering if it really mattered or if it's essentially irrelevant.

It's essentially irrelevant as far as I know; the only real differences that come to mind are as follows:
1) There are 2 titles specific to each side, but both have easily obtainable alternatives that do exactly the same thing.
2) If you need to farm materials from either of the generals, the side you ally with will have a very slightly harder dungeon as it will be located in Nether Sekigahara.
That's about it.

As for weapon farming, I would suggest checking the wiki in detail and making your own judgment. I tend to favor Nether Singlesword Forest.

Edit: The other difference I forgot to mention is that some of the quests give different friendship item rewards e.g. defeating Mitsunari gives 5 model kits while defeating Ieyasu gives 5 paperbacks. Also, as Firon has said, each side has one dungeon specific to them.

I personally prefer the Western side since it gives the dungeon which you can infinite farm fireworks (for the Crimson Mystery durability/fire ornament) from.

As Wibberish has said, where to farm is completely dependent on what weapons and weapon types you want. The percentages are up on the wiki.

Also, IIRC, Den of Needles has a really cheap tactic:

Ranged attacks near the boundary of the boss's movement.

Shoot, shoot, shoot->boss respawns, repeat.

I wouldn't really suggest guarding much against that boss anyway (in a non-cheap method). That aside, I think it'd be better to try another approach rather than improving your weapons since there are a lot of bosses that you can't outlast on hp alone.

Hmm. Interesting. I'll have to peruse the Wiki and see what I find, but it's not just a case of what weapons drop and how often, but the number of mobs and overall difficulty of a dungeon. I found an effective farming method for Spirit Sabre in Kyoto, and that's to run Gedoumaru Hell, kill all the Daruma's, then exit without doing the boss fight. I get all the weapons I need, don't use much health items, get decent money, and I don't have to worry about levelling up since I don't get much exp. Ran it about 7 times on Sunday without levelling, got a ton of friendship items that way as well. I'll have to see if I can find a similar dungeon in Seki. Den of Needles is viable for that method, although the Tsuchikorobis will probably one-shot me on Hell.

Aside from improving my weapons, I don't really see a viable option for getting through with less difficulty. I've been trying to improve my reflexes for ten years now, and they've only gotten worse. There's not really much I can do about lag unless I move to the States and plug my computer directly into the server. Even then I'd probably still get lag fucked. Beyond that, I don't know what else I can do.

This is Virtual Demon, isn't it?

Taking back my suggestion. The only dungeon you should really consider is:

Golden Weapon Hunt Youen

Even if you only do up to the first crab (which you can probably kill from behind a wall anyway), it'd still be worth it.

link for bows link for enhancements and smelting

It should be easy to see why a weapon from 3 areas ahead would be better, even at +10.

Btw, the dungeon also gives little exp.

I'll take a look at Youen on Thursday then. Not sure how I'll do, but I guess that depends partly on what time of day I run that bitch. If it's quiet online, I shouldn't lag so damn hard and might be able to Just Guard more often.

I can carry if you want me to. I can also get weapoms for Sasuke and have some aidama for when I might need it.

Please, is there a healing potion better than the Emperor's Cloth sake?

Because from what I'm understanding, I will not get over this item anymore. Selling it for mistake.
