Bunny Ears use metal parts, intentional?

Since apparently no one can handle basic weapon maintenance with Repair Powder, and are too afraid to leave a dungeon for repairs in fear of it disappearing (because leaving one at a time in a party would make too much sense), I believe that a buff to Maintenance is needed.


Current
At Rank 1, you will have trained yourself to meticulously check your weapons for any small damage to fix after every battle, recovering your equipped weapon's Durability by 2, provided it is not broken.
At Rank 2, your obsession will spread to your allies, causing them to receive the benefit at half effectiveness (1 Durability).
At Rank 3, your familiarity with common weapon problems will increase your Skill when Smithing them by 1.

At Rank 1, you will have trained yourself to meticulously check your weapons for any small damage to fix after every battle, recovering your equipped weapon's Durability by Rank, provided it is not broken.
At Rank 2, your obsession will spread to your allies, causing them to receive the benefit at half effectiveness. (Rank 3 would round down from 1.5 to 1, Rank 5 would round down from 2.5 to 2.)
At Rank 3, your familiarity with common weapon problems will increase your Skill when Smithing them by 1.
At Rank 4, your skill with weapon care makes taking maintaining your main weapon quicker, and allows you to do a bit of work on any sub-weapon you may have, causing them to receive the benefit at Rank/2 effectiveness. (Rank 5 would round down from 2.5 to 2.)
At Rank 5, you have learned how to save your weapon from the scrap heap. If your weapon hits 0 Durability in a fight, after winning the fight, it is restored to 1 Durability.

Increases item drops from battles by 5%. Since it has nothing for R4 and R5 anyways.

Crafting an item shows your the correct skill level and difficulty of doing so, but when actually crafting the item, an invisible +2 skill seems to be applying. Tested with smithing only.

EDIT: Also, every item so far was crafted with great successes.

So, right now, as it stands, poison in general is a joke, mostly at lower levels, which getting it to high ones, unless you have a high crit rate and a Bow of the Green Forest, is pretty difficult. Anti-Toxin is a generally never used item.

I can't come up with any ideas at the moment myself, but is there anything we can do make it more of a threat, really?

I found that when the last enemy is a seeker flame when beat the battle just keep going with no enemy so can't end. I tried re logging to resolve this but it just put you back in to the battle. This is super annoying and has happened twice today. I do not know if it due to attack it as last enemy or because I countered.

Can see the battle play out in the scene shot to the side sadly do not have one of earlier today.

Scene shot of the event.

The dodge formula, especially Protection from Arrows, seems horribly fubar'd.

Parameters

Attacker
59 Skill
57 Luck
Rank 5 Marksmanship
Rank 4 Snipe
Rank 5 Dynamic Shooting
Bow Accuracy 91%
Katana Accuracy 108%

Dodger
85 Celerity
46 Luck
Agile Feet
Rank 5 Protection from Arrows
Rank 5 Unarmored Prowess
28 Evade Armor


Calculated Hit with each weapon

Bow: 278
Katana: 254

Calculated Dodge against each weapon

Bow: 310
Katana: 270

In practice, however, this is not the case.

When up against the bow this is the forecast.

Perky Redtail Girl: Sharp Stuff Shooter (28 Power)
Hit: -8%
Dmg: 74
Crit: 63%

And the Katana?

Perky Redtail Girl: Fluffles's Blade (23 Power)
Hit: -16%
Dmg: 49
Crit: 19%

Something is fishy with this and I can't figure out what. I know, for a fact, that Protection from Arrows is busted, however.

Protection from Arrows, in this preview is only giving +16 of the +40 it is supposed to provide.

Can we please get like the forecast upon yourself back?

It really, really, helped with testing bugs and now I can't do that.

It would be nice to have the Fruit of Forgetfulness only affect your main and sub classes, and their base classes if applicable. So I was thinking that 1 Fruit of Forgetfulness and 1 Flour make it into a Pie of Forgetfulness, which does just that. 1 Difficulty, so anyone can make them, 5% HP, 5% FP, 3 battles of hunger filled. Slice that into a Slice of Forgetfulness, and it would have the same stats and difficulty, and only affect your equipped classes.

EDIT: Or I could not be dumb and just not have it affect hunger type stuff.

Whenever you use Heavy Tackle, it uses either the Arbalest Heavy Bow Mastery damage boost, or the Def Ignoring boost skills.

Quinn A. Kadilio takes 79 Blunt damage.

Parameters of test

R5 Bow Mastery
R5 Punching Shot
R5 Heavy Tackle

23 Weight Thorn Shooter, 41 Weight BG, 14 Weight Braver Replica

Defense 22, Armor 7 Defense Wisp Cloak

(23+41+14)+20-(22+7)=69

If it ignored 10 point of defense or the +10 boost from Heavy Bow Mastery, it would line up to 79 damage.
