Pirate PQ

I second this. The hat is sick and all, but 100 grueling, rewardless PQs aren't really worth style points.

 

I agree PPQ needs a buff, but just to clarify Broken Glasses aren't the only eye accessory. There are also two types of Rac Masks.

 

+1, when I wanted to do this pq no one bothered because it was not worth the time to people who wanted to level and too boring to some others @Hyuga

 

Totally agree. For instance, an exp penalty if you are higher level doesn't make any sense. Nothing else in the game reduces exp (for instance, doing low level quests or killing snails doesn't massively reduce the exp you receive). Monsters will be easier to kill, but then again, so is your exp requirements, which increase exponentially.

I've also seen the devoted captain and krus... It's clearly broken. What's supposed to happen is every 10 seconds or so, new ones spawn, but after the first wave, very few if any spawn.

For scroll rewards idk. We'll have to see what other stuff lord pirate drops...

Also about the broken glasses: raccoon masks are only from gash, and all they add is accuracy. Mages, thieves, and archers don't need accuracy. So raccoon mask and all the eyewear scrolls are completely useless to everyone but warriors. I've yet to see any eyewear int scrolls at all. So yeah, for the most classes, broken glasses are indeed the best in slot.

 

You can scroll them for dex, works for pirates, bowmen, warriors and thiefs.

 

You can also scroll them for INT, so they work for every class.

 

AFAIK that shouldn't happen, because the idea of those 'parts' of the PQ is to make it take longer. Should be reported as a bug.

 

PPQ will never be worth doing unless you significantly increase the exp. The reward is completely not worth aiming for, since the only Pirate Hat out of that PQ that could be considered somewhat viable is the one with +5 AS. Nobody with a functioning brain would waste their time for 100 runs of that ridiculous PQ to get a hat that's very close to be outclasses by many other hats anyways.

 

Yeah, that's definitely bugged. OPQ and PPQ both need a buff.

 

Someone please find me a screenshot in the game of a eyewear dex or int scroll.

 

Or a gm could just take a look at shrine and nlc gach and tell us

 

It's eyewear for accuracy. There are tons of them.

 

I don't have one that specifically says DEX, however:



I also know for a fact the INT ones exist in v83. Not sure for this version.

 

Well in order to beat glasses, you need to succeed on at least 2 of those dark scrolls. Maybe that number should technically be 3 due to stat requirements on weapons. Either way it's not good chances.

Point is that for most classes, the broken glasses from LPQ are still best in slot unless you get very lucky from scrolling... and LPQ is lower level and imo a bit easier and 'only' takes 35 runs to get glasses.

 

Actually, regardless the Broken Glasses are still superior. The Raccoon Mask is just a viable alternative. The only exception is perhaps Bowmen/Gunslingers, as their primary stat is DEX.

 

I never PPQ'd, just because I didn't see any point.

Increasing XP reward from PPQ would make it more viable for people 55-100 imo. Also removing the nerf when someone 70+ is there.

A +5 all stat hat is pretty good imo, it has decent defence and gives you spd/jump/mp/hp.

Keep the requirement of 100 for the best hat.
