I can't say i see the jade, unless those vases are jade... My scroll count is as a result of doing every scroll mission that popped up, regardless of my success %, I skipped 1 and failed 3 so far.

Failed today's voyage, now the scrolls are at 16k singles, I sent out today at 65% I plan to get Vampyrism after I finish Tetsu Helm, then Death Lotus after Vampyrism, then no idea after that :P My actual progress

You're splitting accuracy from chance to hit monsters? Isn't that the very definition? Give me an example of where accuracy is capped please - I'm actually unaware of any thing of the sort. I am surprised that you are unaware of an accuracy cap... The Chance to hit any monster is 100% (or whatever the game designer have put in, 99%, 95%, but the exact value does not matter in this discussion), regardless of how high your 'accuracy' is, this is true in every single thing under the sun, you cannot get more than 100% chance to hit. While accuracy is very closely linked to chance to hit, it is not a direct conversion (if it was, it would mean that low level players cannot hit anything with bronze weapons due to their accuracy being so low). Thus there must exist a point in that calculation where the resulting chance to hit on the monster has reached the cap (whether that is the absolute cap or the game cap), and any further accuracy increases beyond this point serve absolutely no purpose. Accuracy is a great thing to have, but once you hit that cap, it becomes the most useless stat to upgrade thereafter. I am pretty sure that chance to hit bosses will not hit the cap anytime soon without using the very best gear, the rest of RS is a completely different matter. If one can reliably hit stuff without missing their targets for any length of time using a lower tier magical weapon, then I find absolutely no point in getting a degradeable upgrade that yields no actual upgrade. Magic is unique in this regard that the weapon only provides accuracy and attack speed, while the damage itself is determined by the spell alone, which has no tie to the weapon. Melee and ranged upgrades will always be upgrades because their damage is based on themselves rather than something outside, so even if accuracy is redundant, their damage is unaffected.

Accuracy is one issue, but the chance to hit monsters is a completely separate one, it's no use have more accuracy if your chance to hit your desired monsters doesn't improve (IE is capped) by using a higher tier weapon.

I don't think it matters where you put him, as long as he is on the ship. Also JoD isn't suited for single stat voyages, so it isn't always on the ship (just like the Merchant), but he is there majority of the time

Threw in an app for it, hopefully my location helps :P

Don't equip it, whatever you do, or you might be one very sad panda

All chinese names, when translated literally, would give strange English meaning, especially those with words that uses only 1 letter component (Such as Oxhead and Horseface). Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is a classic example. Maybe they should have gone ahead and named the crew member Niutou Mamian, would love to see the complete wtf of every player (including myself) Not to say that it's already strange enough as it is :s Strangely they only do it to chinese, not other languages like Japanese (I dont see our Tetsu armor called Iron armor :P)

XP rewards from PoP is so small that I probably wouldn't have bothered with it even if I have gotten every other possible reward from PoP....

Banned for stealing my sentence

I so would if i could, certainly beats bandos gs in looks... jury is still out for me for Katana VS Sara gs though

apart from the helm looking a bit ugly (I would prefer if they lose the face plate), it does look similar to an actual samurai armor. I am actually tempted to dragonkeep sake that armor now...

Unless there are better captains than 10k captains, I think only this bar is worth the upgrade, the other 3 are pretty crappy...

87% into scythe, just got my 20th scroll, Tetsu chest done. Should hit bowl by friday.

I'm pretty confident I can get 7k all, in the Bowl now. Maybe 7.5k if I dump some effects. If you assume well-levelled Pincers crew and Pincers ship upgrades, another 1000 extra should be no problem. These voyages aren't meant to be 100% in any case, and with 8-8.5k all you have ~70%, which isn't bad. Although adding a merchant may make it a bit tough :P. In all the cases I have seen, the merchant is pretty much mandatory for all resource based voyages, except maybe for skull region when the Storekeeper has only 10%. So far what I have seen is that even if I replace a crew that isn't morale with Merchant, my chance to succeed usually only drops by 10% of what it originally was (EG from 80% to 72% say), merchant makes that offset worthwhile most of the time (barring some really unfortunate circumstance of your ship taking a large chunk of your resource for repair, but that is rare).

Banned because I have no idea what you guys are on about :P

Gets his Quarian machinist to hack the server and removes Sir Squab's Limbo state by unbanning the character, transferring the diamond over and then deleting Sir's Character. Takes the Diamond onboard the SSV Normandy and starts Mass relay hopping all over the galaxy while in stealth mode.

Looks like there are players getting on now, but I still can't get on

Thats probably because there is literally no one logged into the game at the moment

They premake posts i think, its been like that for every update i know of

Don't you have to kill the kalphite queen for that? [/hide] The Pest Queen is in set 3 iirc. Don't think you need it for the task though. er... the task requires you to kill Kalphite queen with Dreadnip lol Can't tell if you are trolling... I did say Kalphite queen in my earlier post, and pest queen came out of nowhere.
