RPG RPG Maker [うさぎめしや / usabox] MaiDenSnow Eve / MaiDenSnow Eve ～さる前夜祭～ (RE115762, RJ115762)

[Harleyquin13]

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

I had a gunner bloom with scatter before as well then switched to revolver cannon. But it has several problems: 2.65 hits with low damage uses scatter ammo too fast. No natural KB like revolver. No plasma, ideally for multi-enemy you want both holy and plasma. Hence I had a +7 Holy/Plasma revolver and it worked great until the +12 Vanguard's Lancer.


Incorrect, minotaur and hollow tree are mutually exclusive. In one walkthrough you can only kill 5 boss out of 6. (Graveyard is final boss which only appears only after you trigger sanctum or hollow tree, might also need to kill all 4 other bosses)


Upgrade scroll does work past +10, it just have a high chance of failing. IMO, the best way to upgrade economically.

Draft Upgrade: Lv4-7 (Gears should start at Lv4 or higher, outside of cost, maintenance requirement is near the same for upgrades. only upgrade max slot-1 weapons and clothing, and only upgrade slotted collar)
Scroll it: Lv8-11
Draft Upgrade: Rest Lv12-15 You shouldn't upgrade at this area until all your gears (ignoring headdress, collar, garter) are past Lv10. A single upgrade at this point costs around than 3k etc
Draft Upgrade: Lv16+ Post end-game only, preferably in highest difficulty so level is converted to cash. 4k per upgrade makes me wince (it takes selling 8 weapons of good quality to get that much)


It doesn't show. The rule of thumb is, if its red, repaired to full, its got enough. (Or more than enough)

PC Lv matters, lv1 has 70 hp. Lv18 has 160+ hp and like 9 mp more ._.
Stats on the other hand is from equips.

My gunner's broom is about +5 right now but with scatter ammo I could do 20+ damage from a single hit (since I shoot 3 times per round that's 60-70 damage per enemy per turn). Since I like knockback essences on my guns, 80% of the time a small group of enemies won't even get into melee range. Looking at your character stats vs mine, it's probably because I'm more focused on range damage and defences than yours.

If you're importing your existing character into hell mode, you must have beaten all 5 of the bosses or the ending wouldn't show. How have you pulled it off? All I'm missing now is the graveyard boss since I visited the crypt inner sanctum first before going for the hollow tree.

My revolver does 60ish on a single hit, but your KB's probably applied more often than mine due to multi hit.

How have you pulled it off?

Finish 4 other bosses. Keep key events turned on.
Go into graveyard, continue to floor 10+, go search through every room starting from floor 10. I found the boss on floor 13. Its actually pretty strong due to blizzard/back Step and a lot of HP. Carry an elixir or 2 just in case.

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

DragonPaladin how do you attach screenshots that fit within the limits of the forum? It's a bit lame having to zip my screenshots in my posts.

Latest run from the cave to the abandoned house threw up a couple of interesting items...

As for fusion, the only way anything is going to be promoted to 4 slots with a decent fixed essence is probably to rely on drops. I tried with a 3-socket longsword but to no avail.

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

Use jpg. It has no size limit.

And FINALLY a max slotted drop. Congratulations! Guess I am going to do some farming before going to highest difficulty as well. I probably need to check out fusioned nameless blade anyways.

The screenshots taken with F8 are in bmp form, any converters out there?

Thanks to your tips, I finally beat the headless count. Like you said, he backsteps a lot and hits like a freight train. Just as well he can't heal but his weaknesses are really difficult to exploit (The granite blade is good against him, but I want a max slot one before I take him on).

You can save as .jpg after opening the screenshot in paint.
Or use Paint.NET, my favorite photo editor as well.

Congratulations!

In terms of the Headless Count, hit him with redemption if you can (its not easy on that mob), use holy weapon beforehand (it gives holy/plasma to the weapon you are using)
In my opinion, Crossfire P8 with holy weapon activated is the best, due to raw damage and accuracy of search shot

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

You mentioned earlier that you'd picked up the nameless blade. According to the URL I gave previously, that blade is supposed to be at the hollow tree but I didn't see it. The formula for the burial blade should work assuming the nameless blade can be found.

 

[Dragonpaladin]

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

Has to be a different walk through, you won't find it otherwise.

Also, apparently slot expansion works with the same weapon, by the below rules
x number slot AND
x+1 or greater number slot (with x number of red essence) Equals
x+1 number of slots. So its possible to craft max slotted items given you got a max-number slotted item with max-1 red essence in it.
...
I think advanced fusion or getting through drops is easier

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

Also, apparently slot expansion works by
x number slot Longsword + >x number slot (with x number of red essence) = x+1 number of slots. So its possible to craft max slotted items.

Going by your formula, what do you need to get a crafted 4-socket longsword? When I first found a 4-socket longsword there was 1 red essence in it, it would only craft with another 2-socket longsword with 1 red essence with the end result being the 4-socket longsword losing a socket to become a 3-socket longsword...

You need a 3 socket longsword + 4 socket longsword (3 red essence)
Its like what? In terms of requirement = =

Oh, found out what's happen with rabbit outfit's sockets, they aren't in effect when used as underwear and is only in effect when used as Outfit.
This means slitted underwear is by far the best at high upgrades. (Excluding defense)

To date I've found one clean 4-socket longsword, 1 4-socket longsword with a red essence and 1 4-socket longsword with 2 red essences. Basically there's not much point in crafting...

Is there a similar problem with the bikini outfits? There's one that's also very good stat-wise but expensive to repair.

Edit: I've just checked. Any of the special underwear supporting sockets only allows the socketed essence to work if the underwear is worn openly. That sounds more like a bug than a feature so hopefully the game creator will be working on a hotfix for that soon.

Is slitted underwear really that great?! I know you're fond of all-out offence but I find the bunny and mermaid outfits help round out my very poor dexterity and resistance scores.

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

Its a feature, only costumes have sockets. Specifically, only weapon/clothing/collar has sockets and collar sockets is at 1/2 effect.

Its really that great. 2.6 Str, Magic, Skill, Agi, 1% critical makes it the most well-rounded offense item in game. Each upgrade gives +0.1 in all 4 of the above stats.
I haven't found anything else that even come close to it. Including costumes used as underwear.

Rant:

Spoiler

Life Essence Lv3 (or is it Lv4?) 2x Lv2 Life Essence gives me a wtf essence effect of +40% HP Regeneration & +10% Max HP. More importantly, no penalty in MP.

You mentioned previously that getting a specific attribute to level 3 with essences bestowed a passive effect; what's the passive effect for stacking Dex or Agi up to +3?

What do you mean again when you say accessory slots only work at 50%? The socketed dog collar I finally picked up as a drop is showing me +1.3 to Agi with an Agi1 essence installed.

Not bad for slitted underwear, but I'll stick to the bunny suit. Right now I'm pushing 70+ with Agility and 50+ with magic thanks to a +10 bunny suit. Even though the stats degrade significantly when damaged, it's worth while since this is the only underwear item that makes up for the sister outfit penalty to Dex. (-4.5 at +12 is downright painful).

If you're using your armour slots for maxHP essences, you won't need the angel's armband since your HP regeneration is already crazy enough. Unless you're set on that clockwork engine the rosary is also a good choice as it's the only item in its class that has a modifier which increases as the item is upgraded.

 

[Dragonpaladin]

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

What's the passive effect for stacking Dex or Agi up to +3?

Skill's passive is +10% skill flat. (+4 Skill)
Agi is passive +10% agi, -5% hp. (+4 Agi, -4% HP)
Strength's passive is +10% strength, -10% skill, +10% hp (+4 Str, -1 Skill)
Magic is +10% magic, -14% hp regen, -10% hp, +14% mp regen (+4 Magic, -1 Def)

What do you mean again when you say accessory slots only work at 50%?

Agi Lv1 is +2 by default on a +0 sword/armor. Frankly, better put +1 MP or +10% status resistance (on clothing/weapon, its +2 mp +20 status resistance)

Right now I'm pushing 70+ with Agility and 50+ with magic thanks to a +10 bunny suit.

79 Magic, 56 Skill on Gothic +17 [Lv3 Magic Essence]
91 Skill, 50 Magic, 55 Agi on Maid fuku +12 [Lv3 Skill Essence] & Crossfire P8 +15 -> stacking skill is so much easier than other stats
Please note however: My defense is 25, resist is 30, endure is... 2

Unless you're set on that clockwork engine

I am set on clockwork-engine and cannot live without the extra damage. (My Vanguard's Lancer does 100 damage with Maid Fuku and 107 damage with Gothic. All due to it and mithirl ammo)
Didn't notice that about the rosary, but that's awesome to know, thanks.

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

I've put together a regex replacement file for TAHplugin for Translation Aggregator. Hopefully it should make some things more readable and fix some quirks and errors.
For some reason TAHplugin uses UTF-16, so use the download button to get the file in the right encoding.

1. Make sure you have installed TAHplugin for TransAgg (Should be linked to in TransAgg's thread on Hongfire, or in TAHelper's main post.).
2. Download:
   You must be registered to see the links
3. Place the file in \Plugins\Replacements in your TransAgg directory, and make sure the file name matches the folder and file name for Maidensnow (The easiest way is probably to just add any random character to Maidensnow's profile in TAHplugin's substitution window. If you can't find it, make sure TransAgg has made a profile for Maidensnow, and if it hasn't, just launch a text hook for it once to generate it.).
4. When hooking the game, use TransAgg's internal hook, set Context Idle Delay to a high value (I use 500), open the context manager (CTRL+M), and find the correct context for text output (So far it's always been a MultiByteToWideChar ending in 5C2 for me.) and tick the "Auto translate" checkbox.
5. The substitutions may not kick in by themselves, so if you see no effect make sure to select Maidensnow's profile in TAHplugin's substitution window, then open TransAgg's substitution window and press OK without making any changes (something about TAHplugin tampering with TransAgg's substitution files and not updating correctly until you reload them through TransAgg's substitution window.).

This will get most of the text the game outputs in a giant block, which TAHplugin then picks apart by inserting newlines into to separate things for the translator. The "examine item" window is still pretty messy, but much easier to figure out with this.
I recommend setting TransAgg as a tall window besides the game for this, as most of this works by forcing things into separate lines.
Some of the missing text inside <> brackets will show up in one of the other contexts above this one, but that one only outputs some of the text and only when it is first written, so it is less useful.

It's still very much work in progress, and I was hoping to get a bit of collaboration going through Drive, but the encoding complicates things and for some reason copy-pasting into or out of the editors there removes all the tabs, which is very bad as TAHplugin uses them to tell which side to find and which to replace.
If you want to edit these I recommend an editor with encoding control and regex support, like Notepad++ or Sublime Text 2/3, to make it easier to test, but you can probably do it directly in the Substitution window of TAHplugin too.
If you come up with any changes or additions please leave a comment in the document link (At least I think I enabled commenting...).

If you are interested in learning regex and/or have no clue what I am on about, look up a regex tutorial for the basics and download Expresso to help you learn.

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

A pair of enemies previously missing on my bestiary entry turned up in my latest Belle run. The initiate and minion fill in slots 25 and 26 with the minion vulnerable to earth attacks. The initiate is basically a stronger version of the black hand but his drop list includes weapons I've never seen before such as a cigar lighter etc.

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

...
Only the latest jap dlsite version works with the patches from author's site.

I've got my version about a month ago from the engl dl-site. Does that mean that I'm kind of fucked if I want to play the newest version and would need to get the newest version from somewhere else?

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

Thanks for the info, I will go check it.
Finally finished upgrading just about everything to Lv12+. (Except collar)

Your fine, Oct 22 patch fixed everything. That was back with the Oct 17 patch. Just download it from dlsite english again and your good to go.

If you're planning to take on the hardest difficult mode with your current character, my recommendation would be to farm Belle for some confuse and sleep essences. They grant a base 18% chance to inflict their respective status ailments on afflicted enemies but sleep in particular is powerful since not many creatures are resistant to it. When combined with stun/paralyze, monsters closing to melee range won't be doing much to you.

I've yet to see a magic stone drop from the floating eyeball nor a darkness essence just yet. More runs in the abandoned city look to be in order.

Re: MaiDenSnow Eve

Status alignment aren't really my cup of tea. I prefer elemental/raw damage to it. On the other hand, I have a paralysis jade blade, and it works stupidly well. So I know why you suggest I should farm for them. (Its also stupid how good a limb-fire is with the right essences attached)

Don't know why though, playing until now, I only get 2 lv1 poison and 1 lv1 paralysis essence in total. Hence, rather than not my cup of tea, its more like I couldn't grind out stun/dark even if my life depends on it. (-> I am just jealous)
