The Question Thread

I like storm as a proc because of its pushback effect.

Thanks for the previous answers @dickwad @Golem

I have a new question from finding some legendaries for wizard:

  1. Does aoe radius increase the aoe of whirlwind? My main is using that atm, so perhaps jaspering can be useful (or getting it via crafting, however I’m not having any of those crystals yet)
  1. a)What do people need all the money for?
    (Like where to spend excess money - or why to make a dedicated farming money build?)

b) How the mountain do you use dealer efficiently? I don’t see it being too good… + 1000% , I don’t use selling now (since there are a lot if legends in my bag already) and 11x won’t change it. So any reason not to take it last? Or just preference (for people who do it?) I see it on 2. Or 3. Spot of ascendance slots.

most Skills with an AoE are affected by the Legend AoE affix. if you want to do a test, just get a few items with AoE on them with Dust or from loot, take off everything besides that affix, and then test your Whirlwind with and without the extra AoE and see if there is a difference.

The Importance of Gold: it is 5 million Gold times the number of the Perk you are getting. so first Perk is 5 million, and the sixth Perk is 30 million, which is a total of 105 million Gold just for the Perks. for players focused on getting Perks, you might not have good Gold finding abilities.

if you want a Rare or Ultra Rare Crystal or Myth Stone for your Build in the Early Game, you spend Gold to upgrade your Crystals & Myth Stones until you get what you need. it also costs lots of Gold to convert Legend+ items to random Crystals.

it costs lots of Gold to convert Legend+ items to Dust. so if you like using Dust to get items for Builds or testing, you are going to spend a lot of Gold.

spending Gold in the Shop. you don’t have to spend Gold in the Shop, but some players use the Shop to make the game easier (map), fun (vanities or changing the look of your pet), or farming (buy all Equipment items, Crystals, & Myth Stones). depending on what you are doing in the Shop, you could be spending a little or a lot of Gold.

Dealer: New Players can improve their Gold easily just by putting Skill Points into Fortune Skill. that way they don’t have to worry about losing a Gold Find affix when changing their Equipment when they level up or find better items.

New Players that go for their first Perk usually have 5 million Gold by the time they get that far, unless they didn’t do any research and spent all the Gold along the way. getting Fortunate Perk improves Gold Find & Luck, which gives a New Player going for Perks more and better Gold & Loot without changing their Equipment that is optimized for Ascending.

now, I got Dealer for my fourth Perk. at that time, with the Ascending Build I had, I knew that I wouldn’t have enough Gold to get the fifth and sixth Perk right away, that I would have to farm for Gold for awhile to get those Perks.

players who like experimenting with Builds, or just making new Builds for the fun of it, will spend lots of Gold, so Dealer will come in handy.

basically, if you don’t have a Gold problem, then don’t worry about Dealer until you are ready to choose it.

Basically what @Golem says.

haha, this is a story I wrote after Patch 3.0 came out. I started collecting Dust, but ran out of Gold all the time. I didn’t have a Farm Build and actually wasn’t playing DQ seriously. it was a few months later that I started Ascending for Perks and playing DQ seriously.

there are a few old post about players who never got Perks, because their Farm Builds were giving them all the loot they needed. so players don’t really need Perks, but they do improve many parts of Farming and Loot finding.

6how do people make screenshots…?
I just found an epicmap with 1335 exp% and 1554% item drops…?

Are those values legit? Do I really get +15x item drops there and +13x exp? Or what does it mean?

By the way can you find green maps?

those values are legit. those numbers are 1000 on Legend & Eternal Maps (I just now looked at my Eternal Maps), but some Rare & Epic Maps can go over 1000.

Eternal Maps are the green maps, and have the same chances of dropping as Eternal items & Pets. if you use the Eternal Set Items with high Luck, when you are ready to drop a Legend Map (look in the Feats section, the Cartographer & Pick up Maps), put that gear on and it will increase the chances of your Legend Map dropping as an Eternal Map. the affixes on an Eternal Map are double those of a Legend Map.

Arena…
When I want yo change the ai for pvp… will it change back when I set the pve ai? So it ought to be different.
Im using my hireling in pve and pvp, the ai is shared, but only the activated so and gear counts? Or the one I use in pve too?

Otherwise I would have to go offline for the.

@tdaniel , I found this post and was wondering if it is still current. more specifically, I was wondering if Sorcery still gives Shock a chance to jump to another enemy and Ice to slow enemies even more drastically.

I tend to use AoE Skills, but if Shock can still Jump using Sorcery, it would open up Pierce & Barrage to me for Build ideas. not sure what to do with the improved movement reduction of Ice yet.

@Petapan I had wondered about that myself concerning the A.I. of Campaign & Battle Arena. I myself haven’t really seen a problem with this, but I tend to think that the A.I. setting for PVP stays saved for the Arena. you could check to see if the settings are changed when you change the A.I. for Campaign and see if it changed the setting for PVP next time you look. I haven’t done that because I keep forgetting to check and test it. lol. sorry for late reply, but I thought someone else who knew would have answered already.

Hmm, shall we revive the DQ Question Thread?

Yes :grin:

Yes! That’s more like it. The forums I remember. I knew something was missing! Though having seperate topic for questions is also better for visibility too. Why not both.

My question is the game going to get revised? Maybe add a online play an keep the offline as well an keep the toons separate. You could have battlepasses an things like a fortune wheel that people would have to watch a video. Then u could implement coop an keep drops separate. This game has alot of potential to make you guys some decent income imo. There isnt a game like it. Some try to come close. But nothing beats DQ.

There are rumors about DQ2 but no other info has come out since then…

There is a new closed beta game Shinybox that invites anyone to test out the game, maybe you can try that out while we wait for DQ2.

@tdaniel or @SteigerBox , I came across an old thread that mentioned Rockblast stuns when you have it 100% Proc. is this still true? and are there any other Proc’s with special abilities when they are at 100% Proc?

I have had a few build ideas using a 100% Proc, and the thought that some of them might have special abilities is kind of exciting.
