  What's the best option for the last upgrade of a Tribolt wand; Artisan (+100 int with max roll iirc) or matk +5?
  
  For staff is easier to choose because of the new enchants that gives a good amount of int so you can get to capped int without the need of catering, but since the new enchants for wands don't give any int, I'm not sure if having about 1222~ int at lv 1 is enough to choose the magic attack 5 upgrade instead of the artisan.

  
  
  I would go with the artisan upgrade. If you plan on reforging the weapon for magic attack, opt for R6 over S6.

  Kind of an odd question....but if you rebirth with a hero card for an ace talent do you recieve the special equipment ex mana knucks or rebis cylinder or do you have to specifically make a new character

  Hero cards were only ment to create new characters. Plus, you cant rebirth with any cards bought after the free rb update anymore.

  Ah thanks that does answer my question

  Which dragon should I make an army of?
  I'm planning to get at least 3 ice dragons but someone told me to go bone dragons...I already have 1 bone dragon and I just kill it but idk. I'm confused... Army of ice dragons or bone dragons?
• ironwoman wrote on 2015-06-24 20:07
  1 bone dragon is enough as I see it.
  
  I'd have 1 bone dragon and army of Ice Dragon
• Darkboy132 wrote on 2015-06-24 20:12
  Army of Bone Dragons is moot. Debuff lasts for about 5 minutes or so and reapplying it just refreshes its duration. Ice Dragon, however, has a debuff that lasts 4 seconds and with an army it can be indefinitely reapplied.

  Ice dragon army knocks things back in newer content (this sucks), while bone dragon army stuns things for a very long time over a larger area and continuosly applies debuff as new things pop up.
  
  Ice dragon basically better for older stuff, while bone dragon better for newer stuff.

  Which one is a better combo card for human archers. Crash Shot, Arrow Revolver, or Magnum Shot?
• ironwoman wrote on 2015-06-26 21:41
  I'd not do Crash Shot as the cool down is way too long for a skill that can be missed and you need to spam the skill in combo card.
  
  Arrow Revolver is an ok option, but considering that Arrow Revolver is more of a defensive option rather than offensive one, I don't really think this is worth either.
  
  Magnum on the other hand, still has short enough of a cool down and great multipliers to go along with. Note that the combo card does not take Bohemian Set's Magnum shot bonus into account.

  Bard question:
  For the music skills such as Battlefield Ov and Harvest Song, does a players stats affect the bonuses these skills provide? Or is it only based on the skills rank?
  A friend is claiming to have a lower Battlefield than mine, but their attack increases are 20, while mine are at 17.
  
  Edit: Comparison was made at "The sound of ____'S Battlefield fills the air."

  Ah, was leaning towards MS as well, but wasn't entirely sure. Thanks for the info. Although, if it doesn't take Magnum shot's bonus into account, does that mean it negates the bohemian set's effect? Or does that mean it just adds damage based off of MS only?

  There are three things that directly influence the effects of music:
  

  
  
  • Skill rank.
    
  • Performance, "The ____ sound of". It's completely random but Musical Knowledge influences it somehow. "Excellent" increases by 10% and "Inspiring" by 30%.
    
  • Music Buff Effect. This is a hidden stat that's increased through Playing Instrument and Song (and yes they stack), along with some other titles, enchants, reforges, etc. Each point increases by 1%.

  each point of music buff increases the bfo % by .2

  That just means he probably has higher rank of Playing Instrument and/or Singing, since those give out music buff effects.

  Basically, you might expect (and logically so) that your Magnum Shot at, let's say, 65% bonus, would do (500 + reforge bonus) * (1.15 [Huntress Bonus]) * (1.55 + 0.15 [Ele + Bohemian Bonus, I'll explain this in a bit]) * (1.65 [Combo Card bonus]). But this is not the case, and I'll explain why.
  
  Bohemian set bonus does not apply multiplicative with elemental reforges. For example, ele 6 bow with bohemian set bonus will be (500 + reforge bonus) * (1.55 + 0.15), not (500 + reforge bonus) * (1.55) * (1.15) as most people are misinformed. If your bow doesn't have ele, then you'd simply multiply 1.15.
  
  As for combo card taking Bohemian Set's enhancement not into account, here's what I mean. When you want to calculate your damage with Combo Card and Bohemian Set, you need two separate equations and add them together.
  
  1. (your damage) * (Arrow bonus) * (Elemental Reforge) * (500 + Magnum reforge bonus) * (Combo Card bonus)
  2. (your damage) * (Arrow bonus) * (.15 [Bohemian set additive]) * (500 + Magnum reforge bonus)
  
  Basically the bonus from Bohemian set will not be multiplied by Combo Card. Add these two equations together and you got your final damage.
  
  People don't know if this is intended or a bug, but either ways, I think this is silly and should be changed.
