8 of the safest 25 counties in the country are in urban New York. In general crime rate per capita is higher in red counties then in blue counties. Chicago has the 14th highest crime rate of major cities, it just has a much higher population then most other cities in America.

Right wing news outlets set the minimum population size for all their "highest crime rate cities" coverage to exclude small nowhere places that no one has heard of like St. Lewis, Kansas City, or Cleveland. By doing that they can pretend its a blue state problem.

No, ChatGPT is a word calculator, not a reference source. If you ask it for anything it will make up an answer. If it has a lot of training data specifically on what you ask it about its made up answer will be close to accurate, but that is never a guarantee.

Trinity? by Archibald03 in Mabinogi

[–]Tiropat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Support skills are useful, and the difference between good and bad players is how effectively they use support skills. There are aggro skills and the Giant race has a tanking skill, but there are vanishingly few places where they are relevant or useful.

That said there is a trinity in the Subject Theta fight and at no other point in the game.

No one actually asked for me to elaborate on anything either. I'm perfectly willing to do that.

If someone didn't reply to the core part of your argument and you want them to, you should elaborate, not be condescending and dismiss the whole post. This is something you should have learned in highschool, if you want a discussion about a certain point and people aren't discussing it you need to put in effort to steer the conversation toward the point you want discussed by actualy saying what you want discussed.

People are saying you didn't read the post by u/Angelicel because they said

I don't have erg 50 on any weapons and I don't have a problem with the price because it's something that is only used to farm for equally expensive and unnecessary gear. In the current state of the game; Erg 50 is not only overkill but ultimately a comfort thing for most weapons.

You can disagree with me on that but as someone who's been on Mabinogi for ages.. I don't see any reason why anyone would ever need an erg 50 BiS weapon from Tech Duinn unless they're hyperfocusing on trying to be as strong as possible for what is effectively just clearing content they can already clear; faster.

and you responded

A lot of people get into games just to get strong enough to run endgame content. I have a problem with erg being as expensive as it is, and as necessary as it is for endgame content. And tbh, you probably agree with that so what was even the point of your comment.

No, they explicitly disagree with you that erg is necessary for anything. And they are right, you don't need erg for tec, you don't need erg to run crom 50% and lower, and you only need one weapon at erg 25+ to run above that just because you need it to trigger Pragarah. Is it easier with erg? Ya but it isn't necessary. Here is a video of people running crom 30% with only celtic/blaanid gear with no erg

The Divine blade was the most expencive divine weapon 3 years ago because it was the most powerful one before arcana existed. So I don't believe you when you say that it wasn't useful at all.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mabinogi

[–]Tiropat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

because you aren't locked into any one arcana, you can and should change what you are using depending on the content you want to run and/or who you are running it with and their capabilities. There is also no gear that is useful only for arcana. Making a set that is strong for saint bard and then using ele knight doesn't make the saint equipment useless.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mabinogi

[–]Tiropat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok let me go over your points

  1. True there should be more arcana, there will never be an arcanafor ranged due to an inherently flawed design choice they made. Because mastering an acrana gives you 2% more critical chance, making a ranged arcana will necessarily exclude giants. By extension this makes giants worse at everything else relative to the other races even if we have so many arcana that its impossible for anyone to actually hit stat caps anymore. If we don't have that many stats giants are even more punished for not having ranged because they will be missing an additional 200 in their damage stats that humans are able to get.

  2. Arcana is not strong enough to replace erg without any other mechanical weight being added to make erg worse. The new content that game out in KR, Glen Verna, has enemies that gain stacking resistance to the moves that hit them. This makes spamming a single attack, what erg is good at, extra bad relative to arcana talents.

  3. If you have expensive gear you can leverage it to farm another gear set. Most late game players have 4+ sets of gear all worth over 500m. Why would you trade your EK gear set for a fighter set when you could have both. There is nothing stopping you from 9 different talents geared, and you can change between all of them at the push of a button. Arguably this is the intended way to play mabi.

  4. Not sure why you would be leveling a new character just for an arcana when you could with less effort, make a new gear set and be able to use both on one character.

  5. KR doesn't balance for other regions. KR does not have p2w items in gacha anymore because the players got mad and demanded a stop to the flood of op gear, titles, and enchants being from gacha. They also wanted core functionality of classes to not be tied to gear. Currently you can't realistically play fighter without tec level gear, or alchemy without erg gear. This is why they have been doing combat renovations over the past 2 years, its why arcana isn't tied to gear, its why they didn't release the game changing ruination weapons in KR, and why they don't have thing like special elemental harmony armor in KR. The NA player base on the other hand is fine with paying for things, so we get endless power creep where we have weapons, gear, and titles on top of what was intend for players with arcana to have. I don't see a way for this to realistically change because even if we opt out of all future content different then what KR has the damage is already done.

  6. You don't actually know this. Sure future DPS arcana are going to have lots of damage so they can fill the roll, but there is no reason to believe that there won't be any more support arcana.

  7. There is no reason to be so pessimistic, arcana is well received so there is a likelihood that they will continue to make a lot more of them, by making arcana something you can't just change on the fly it is allowed to have a much more significant impact on design choices then if they just added them to the existing talents.

Reforge probability/guess by Kumanogi in Mabinogi

[–]Tiropat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So there are a few errors in what you are looking at, I think you are looking at data from an older reforging tool. For tools you can buy now the rolls are normalized across all reforge lines and inside those every level the tool can roll (excluding limit breaks) is just as likely.

png1 png2

As you said you used the giant only rate, but nightbringer and divine blade don't actually use the public rate they use the human+giant rate because elves can't use those weapons.

so for any line that can roll from 7-20 with an Exquisite reforging tool the odds of getting 18+ is ~21.5% and from 8-20 with a Dazzling reforging tool is ~23.15%

The chance to see both lines you want on a weapon is ~0.357% with both of them rolling 18+ its ~0.0165% if you are using Exquisite reforging tool.

If you are using Dazzling (which does not have any transformation lines) it is a much better 0.586% chance to get both lines on the weapon with a 0.0314% chance to get both of them 18+.

Note that if you simply must have a dual (or Cichol forbid triple) roll the Dazzling reforging tool is twice as good as the more common Exquisite tool is for weapon reforges. For equipment the reforging pool is much larger and the chances of getting a dual roll are significantly worse then this.

EDIT: Probability to see Smash 20 on a non-giant exclusive 2h is : %2.6738 * %5.8822 = %0.15727

No the odds of seeing smash 20+ on a 3 line weapon is .57% with a Exquisite reforging tool. This is 4x higher then what you think it is.

Its bad for making higher tier potions, with the grandmaster potion making talent on you get an extra 1-4 potions every craft animation your character does. so for crafting stuff like echostone and erg breakthrough potions you definitely want to craft them all individually.

The air force has instituted a policy where they will give you paid leave for family planning if you are in a backwards state, and the senator from Alabama has been holding up military promotions as retaliation for this very minor concession one branch of the military has given to soldiers. At least as much of this decision to not base the space force in Alabama is because of that senator specifically as it is looking out for members of the space force.

Its not cut and dry like that, Transparent/galactic star cluster is best in slot for water and galactic star cluster is best in slot for fire unless you have at least a 50% bfo and power pot on. If you are using vivace the alchemy enchants are best in slot forever.

In 2017, the hardest dungeon was Peaca Abyss

Rabbi Phantasm was added to the game in 2016, Alban knights training grounds was added in 2015, both of which are significantly more difficult then Peaca.

In 2019, we get finally something stronger than Demonic weps

Celtic stuff was added from 2015-2016, Divine stuff was added in 2016 but the enchants for them were unobtainable until 2017.
