Running wire pays off in the long run. Should a house ever get sold, a big plus is having it already wired for a network. Even if standards of wiring change over the years, at least there will be a wire in there you can help fish the new stuff through. Wireless is convenient sometimes, and inconveni...

Nowadays games are memory hogs. Video card is next, and in a distant third is the processor speed.

I'm using a decently old machine with an upgraded video card and 1gb of memory and that's seemed to run SRO fine even in 1680x1050 that my monitor is set to.

There are stupid players everywhere.

I played on it for some friends' sake. They stopped playing and once Euro hits, I realized I have more assets on Xian. Maybe when that happens I'll have an event to raffle off my redsea items and money.

A % literally means how much better it is in that category than a storebought equipment of the same level . Your 600-650 (0%) vs 550-600 (65%) analogy doesn't really work, because we would probably be talking about 2 different weapon echelons. Two weapons of the same level (say 42 in this case) will...

Stones can be rather tricky sometimes, namely on the most important stat of an item (br for shields, critical value of a weapon). There's no trick for better success, you just need to keep trying.

Fire shield reduces not the effect of a status effect, rather the duration it will last on you, either eventually making you close to immune(with jewelry) or allowing you to cure those status effects with cheaper universal pills.

Most armors have around 5-15% reinforces. On weapons (like mine) ...

To add to that, I hear WoW and other similar games have their fair share of downtimes too, so even subscribers for money have to deal with it.

It's nothing new but I think the fact the game IS free makes people feel they are free to whine too. *shrug*

Regular equipment, even with good (%)s will not be a full subsitiute for an SoS. The + on a weapon literally increases the level of the equipment, so a Lvl 16 Sos bow (usually around 5-7+) will be more like a level 23 bow. Even with a lower critical rate, SoS guarantees a much better base phys and m...

Quick question.

You're using imbue before your nukes right? Cause a spear should have an advantage but not do 60% more damage, at least not at that level. An imbue could make a ~400 damage difference if you're int heavy.

I don't think that's true. Str builds take less physical damage, but parry ratio automatically helps you take closer to minimum damage than normal. This includes magic attacks thrown at you, so every bit of parry helps.

If you have the SP, it would definitely be worth it in my opinion.
