Karppa you can't attack Domain Invasion dragons from behind any longer, you will get warped out if you take hate. I know English isn't your first language but sometimes it can be hard to understand what you are posting. Hope this helps.

In Sortie, having the metal plate, and fighting Ghatjot, Winds of Promy doesn't seem to remove the poison effect. Does it need to be white magic spell or antidote pot?

Winds of Promy is only erase effects.

Thanks, makes sense. Got myself a little confused by the wording on Ghatjots wiki page.

Is there a simple way to .dat swap out to get access to the "Judgement Day" painting? I really want it for my Mog House but I'm not holding my breath for winning a Mog Bonanza.

Should be as simple as just overwriting flowerpot.

Get in the altana viewer find the painting .dat and the piece you have then overwrite it.

Harder to find, than to do.

What's the required red light for farming Heavy Metal pouches outside of voidwatch campaign, 150?

yeah just get cells and ignore procs.

Does Cichol's Mantle + 20 Double Attack Damage proc on follow-up attack ?

Was able to answer my own question, looks like the answer is no!

Is there going to be another discount campaign this year?

The monthly RoE for deeds clearly says AA (4), which is AA EV.

I've done all AA HTMB fights this morning and none is triggering the objective.

Is there a mistranslation and it's not even a AA fight, or is it bugged?

Nothing is guaranteed but its not uncommon to see it in late November or December.

I've done Ark EV for the monthly, worked fine. Make sure it's the HTMB you're doing not the original.

I have a question I am 99% sure of the answer, but not 100%.

Does the "Zanshin Attack Rate" merit category in Sam group1 merits count for Zanhasso follow-up attacks or only Zanshin procs due to misses.

Both. The follow up attack is still 25% of total Zanshin.

Yes its the HTMB for 15 points. Strange.

I found out the hard way that if you are dead or not in range of killing the NM for the monthly deeds you don't get credit.

That might be it, I was lazy and let Helix kill it on SCH. I'll try on a melee to be safe.

Edit: Worked now, as BLU.

So we already know that SE had the habit to artificially raise the pop rate of "new items" from the gobbie chest on the month they got added. This repeated on a regular pattern.

I'm making the hypothesys that SE used this approach for other things as well. Specifically I'm talking about two things connected to AMAN trove.

The rate at which used Mars Orbs are restored by the NPC.
When this was a new feature I had a *** of vouchers saved up on multiple character, and my rate of restoral was a bit lower than 10% (roughly a bit less than 1 orb out of 10 was being restored).
This was before they added the Mog Kupower that should in theory increase the conversion rate.

Now I've popped around 70 orbs for a friend, with the Kupower, and I got literally zero restores.
Of course the sample is so small that nothing can be ruled out, but considering my rate should be, if anything, slightly higher than before, I'm thinking that either this rate was artificially higher than usual on the month this feature was released, and/or the kupower is broken and it actually lowers the chance rather than raising it.


Opinions? Please tell me I've just been unlucky and I'm biased.



Edit:
I could say the same about the rate at which the rainbow chest pops on BC entry but I don't have solid numbers saved from the month it was added, so I'm not sure, and in these over 70 orbs I've seen 3 Rainbow Chests at start so I've seen a few at least, I guess.

Probably confirmation bias. Like old case +1 rate dropping or increasing. Their rng does have some bugs, as found out not by SE but by the players wrt old cases and does tend to blow hot or cold.
