Upgrade trial for thief's knife

[Atomic_Skull]

honestly, I haven't been that impressed by the "boosted" drops due to building TH8+ anyways, it really doesn't seem that profound.

It's hard to eyeball a 0.08% increase in drops.

Its sad because thats about how i feel when i put TH on a mob... =.=

Especially getting say, Blue "!!" and TH8-9+ on a mob, for 4 fights, and not getting the blue drop until the fifth Kill, when my highest TH stuck was 6. (Base)

1/8 on Rani for ring.
1/5 on Panksdfhjtlf (Zelus Tiara NM)

I DO however really notice the drop rate increase A LOT when farming for NM pops (thinks like dented skulls, soulflayer stiffies, etc.) I prefer to farm NMs for key items on my ninja for obvious reasons, but getting the drops to pop those NMs is like 1:20 where thief it's more like 5/7. So there definitely is some sort of noticeable increase.

Every time. TH, level 8 or higher too. I was 0/4 then my buddies vowed to not leave until we got me my ring, we ended up farming 4 more pops.

That's a bit harsh Karby. Some people are just superstitious, doesn't mean they're not fun to hang around with. My LS is full of people who don't play perfectly because of some wrong beliefs or misinformation. We still let our THF break the Dynamis glass, which admittedly is more a tradition than an actual belief by now, but still. If they're fun to be around, why leave?

Also, superstitions don't make them bad (or stupid) players. Some things may not make sense, but are still hard to test even with TH messages, for example if mainhanding TK increases TH upgrade chance or something like that. Also, to my knowledge, it hasn't been tested yet whether or not TH upgrades are enhanced by the currently equipped level of TH, no matter how unlikely it is. So technically there could be a very good reason to fulltime TH.

I still don't believe in directional synthing, and I think that's one of the biggest superstitions in the game (and this one is nearly impossible to test even in over a 100 synths, which is why I really hope SE will shed some light on it sometime). Still I wouldn't call anyone who does it stupid, in fact some of the smartest people I know buy into that. Just the way some people play.

They did, they flat out said Moon Phase, day, and direction have no affect on synthing.
People see what they want to see and ignore what doesn't fit in their paradigm. Every time you check after getting a HQ and it matches your beliefs you strengthen those beliefs, any time it doesn't, THAT'S the anomaly... Human nature.

Or you could hit the mob with your TH gear on and switch into DD mode.

Once TH has been established, my TK swaps out and my Triplus comes in.

yep i do this too obviously when fighting nms and stuff but when im just farming like in ssg or oz or something.. its just way too much effort for me to keep switching back and forth when the mobs die in1- 2 ws now :x so a higher damage thf knife would be great to have in those situations

Oh? I must have missed that. When did they say it?

Anyway, my point is it's not necessarily a bad thing, if people wanna believe in this stuff, let them.

acctaully i have found out that u dont have to proc TH with the gear equiped, on occasion i have jus equiped all my TH gear , Knife/Hands,Feet and took it back off cause of ws or something before proc. and it would still proc 7/8 depending on if im using atma of dread or not
