Mystery Box is a godsend today. All the books for all the pets!
I'm hoping the 12 Freyalise items I still need will drop in price so I can buy them It has been a great way to get most of the items I needed. More expensive than restocking them, yes, but still worth it lol. I already spent 3.3m on the Mystery Box lol

Anyone has extras that are willing to swap? :P

Tons of extras, but not on the books. Not with two dozen pets. lol

STUPID QUESTION: I apparently can't read since I can't find the news posts, but when are the pirates and boppers leaving? I need to know when to panic.

I live in MN, and whatever you've heard... It's much worse.

do you have your extras in a shop/gallery? Which books do you need, so I can check if I own any?

Oh, did someone say battle database?

I've been working on this for a while. I wasn't going to say anything about it until I'd filled it up more and done a quick frontend, but as long as people are talking about it I might as well fess up to avoid duplicate work.

I, too, have used the SubetaLodge weapons list, but it's really unsatisfying to search for a number of reasons:

  • Can't search tiers by "less than or equal to"!
  • Can't order by (in fact, doesn't even show!) total icons.
  • Can't order by number of icons of a given element.
  • Can't search by anything related to mod slots or buffs.
  • Can't search by anything related to a combo, scaling attack, or second attack.
  • Can't sort or filter scrolls by AP.
  • Info is sometimes out of date.

I've set up my database to handle all of these cases (okay, except the last; that's on me).

I'm slowly filling it up with weapon information, but there are a few snags. I didn't want to use any stats from SL or other fansites that I couldn't check myself, because I know some of the stuff there is inaccurate. Fortunately Subeta will show you most of the information about any weapon if you visit its hover page. But not everything:

  • That page doesn't show the correct number of mod slots unless you have the right weapon ID (i.e., a specific copy of that weapon owned by someone, at which point they might as well look at the weapon in their armory).
  • That page shows "Infinite Use" for semi-breakable items. (That's why the items in the pic I posted are only marked if they're one use or OPB.)
  • That page doesn't show whether there's a freeze or steal chance at all for items that don't take the freezer/stealer slot. I understand that battle staff might want to keep that information secret, and I'd be okay with determining rates like that experimentally if we knew whether they existed in the first place. But we know from experience that some weapons have them in the single-digit percentages, listing them as "low" or "somebody said this froze for them once" like SL does would be really unsatisfying, and I for one am not testing every junk weapon against Aboxalypse a few hundred times to check whether it might have a secret freeze rate.
  • Similarly, that page doesn't show whether there are buffs, combos, scaling, two or more attacks, a health dependency, or any kind of custom coding at all. Again, working out the details would be a totally doable research task, but without some way to narrow down the field it's too daunting to contemplate. (Some of those second-attack weapons are old collection items; how many more might there be that nobody's ever used enough to trigger them?)

I'm still working through adding all the stuff I have in my armory (note the lack of anything past 'D' in the pic); I haven't started touching rare weapons yet. But after that I was planning on posting in S&I about getting flags—just flags—for semi-breakable, freeze/heal, buffs, and/or custom coding in the armory popups. It would be nice to have backup on that.

(I've thought about contacting SubetaLodge—their staff could probably keep on top of this better than I could—but there are technical reasons that a. converting the information in their database might be difficult even if everything were sure to be up-to-date and b. my setup might be hard to run as part of their site as opposed to its own thing. I dunno what their hosting's like.)

I play irregularly, so it may take me a while to get back to you

- look at the guide - . MrCool guide to the Mystery Box Due to the rarity of [item=The Art of Knife Throwing it should show up at 2 or 3 times its cost (and I'm guessing it will likely be three). The price will be an exact multiple of the original cost (not a range).

- I'm pretty sure that I got one [item=Maps for Scallywags} from the Mystery Box. Check the guide (link above), the price and the rarity to know when to buy while refreshing.

Does anyone know how exactly the MB works? Are the higher prices usually rarer items, or is it all just completely random?

[edit]Lol perfect timing, thanks that's just what I was looking for :)

Ah I had no idea, thanks for pointing that out. :)

Might have to hope that Carl can slide you a copy. :( I think that is the one book that I got from Drills myself.
