This one ended up taking me a few days longer than I anticipated and illustrates well why I don't add minigames more often. They end up being a rather surprising amount of work, but ah well. I had fun making this one and I think it turned out nicely, and maybe it'll make any future minigames I add involving cards that much easier.

Oh, right, you don't know what I'm talking about. Yenten! Yenten Noten, by default. You can play it at the Casino in Oniga, which now has a second floor dedicated to it, or you can play it at one of the many decks of cards in various inns and Pink's Bar.

1.27
Yenten - A new minigame has been added; Yenten.

• Yenten is a simple card game for 2 players, where the goal is to make a hand that totals 10.
  
• Each round, players are dealt one card; if they have 10, they win, but if they have more than 10, they must discard card(s) until they have less than ten. Then, repeat.
  
• You will need 10 Casino Coins to play.

• Treasure Maps and several other items have been added to the prize chest.
  
• You now receive Experience Points and Murai rewards for participating.
  
• The maximum weight of caught fish dynamically increases so that you always have a chance to catch a fish heavier than 1st place's.

• You can no longer gain the effects, including Sync-Mind, Install, Summon, etc. of Youkai contracts exceeding your maximum contracts.
  
• There is now a hard cap on how many Youkai effects you can gain at once; 12. (Even if your maximum contracts would be higher.)
  
• So, if your Faith is 10, you can only gain effects, summon, install, and so on Youkai up to the 7th one in your contracts manager.
  
• You can now rearrange the order of Youkai in the contract manager by dragging and dropping them.

Just a glow effect. A solid version and a slightly transparent one.

Winter's bite does not shred all of a target's ice Resistance. It appears to instead reduce ice resistance by some fraction. The tests were done as follows:

One character equipped all of the ice resistance he could, bringing him to 99% ice resistance. I used winter's bite, then cast ice spells at them. The 'Resist!' message remained when the person had 99%, 65%, and 32% ice resistance. Only once I used winter's bite on someone with precisely 25% ice resistance, did the resist message go away. We also used Intensify Cold in addition to Winter's Bite, and did not get the 'Weak!' message when Ice Resistance was very high. (50+)

This bug is very strange, because at 25% winter's bite removed the resist prompt, but turned a Libegrande's damage from 80 to 92. If you take into account the fact that Winter's Bite increases ice damage by 5 at max rank, that means Winter's bite only realistically removed 7 damage. By that reasoning, it only could have taken away 10% ice resistance. However, at much higher resistances (50+ again), it seemed to remove somewhere in the field of 40%.

I don't know HOW it's messing things up, but it seems to scale very disproportionately to the target's ice resistance.

This is a new topic for Lore Questions because the old one was about 26 pages. The format is roughly the same, but some guidelines;

1) Try and format your questions appropriately. As in, make it easy to read and answer.
2) Try and limit the number of questions you ask per thread. I don't mind answering them, but don't get crazy and ask me 20 things, especially if they require detailed answers.
3) Try to avoid asking extremely specific questions, such as 'Did anyone ever die of food poisoning in Cellsvich?'. Answering these is difficult, because not everything is set in stone, so giving a definitive answer on it not only restricts me in the future, but it might influence other players' character concepts that involve it.

That said, if you have any questions, you can post them in this thread! I will post answers at the end of the month/start of the next one.

Thanks! (And yes, if you had questions from the previous topic that I didn't answer before I closed it, you can post them here, but remember the formatting guideline.)

I'm just gonna leave these here. If I happen to be stricken with the mood to make anything else, it'll go here.

In the event the race does get in in some shape or form, it could use these. Included are two sets of two bases, and a race icon.

So after testing bourneblood on a shotgun, the enchant claims to do the following:

Borneblood (Special) - Gains Hit equal to 25% of the attack target's missing HP.

However, regardless of reduction, the hit is not increased at all. If you wish to have more visual demonstration, I shall present it once the Server goes back up.

Attached is the gun in question, for your convenience.


UPDATE!:

[strike]I THINK the enchant does work, but not for sub weapons. HOPE THIS HELPS.[/strike]
NOPE I scratch that. It doesn't work at all. I had 262-263 hit on someone and no matter how low their health was, it was not adding 25% of their missing HP

If you use Banquet on a target, and that attack is redirected via 'Protect' to a Glykin, the attack hits the Glykin and does not trigger the Golden Blood damage. Blood levels rise normally, as if it hit a non-Glykin target.

Spiked Treads do not seem to change any knockback from the Arbalist skills blowback cannon or heavy tackle. It also doesn't effect turnover, but that may be classified as something different than knockback.

Magnetic shield's property, "Redirects Bow and Gun attacks on allies within 2 Range to yourself," does not work at all. Both bullets and arrows will hit the target in your party, regardless of whether you stand within 2 or 1 range of them. The soldier skill 'Protect' will still intercept these attacks, but the Magnetic Shield does not.

After the update that fixed projectiles not properly hitting targets, Shinken's projectile now hits whatever is directly in front of it.

This makes it so that against a target at melee range, it not only makes a basic attack against them, but hits them with the projectile as well.

Is this intentional?
