1) When time comes around to re-reforging my wand, what should I aim for? Casting speed 16 atm.

2) 4/6 firebolts on combo card - any estimates as to how much it'l cost to finish?

3) I've read this, but it doesn't touch on something I wanted to try and figure out (And no, i'm not computer literate): is it possible to lower your MTU just for Mabi and not for other applications? As in, have Mabi working on 386 MTU and everything else on 1500? Is that even possible? How badly does MTU affect speeds of other things, because at 1500 it still takes forever to load youtube/anime/whatever.

Thanks for any help.

You could adjust your MTU when you start playing mabi, and then put it back after you're done.

Skype and Youtube whilst playing mabi. I rely on youtube for music a lot; changing MTU also requires a restart. Right?

No way in hell it's 3-10% because i've used 70k nx (or 700 changes) on one of those slots without a single firebolt and maybe like 2 ice/lightning bolts.

Change channel and it will register that you altered MTU. I do that for specifically when im playing mabi.

I thought people recommended 368, not 386 for mtu.

So in doing this you can set MTU for Mabi and change it back for everything else?

Just going with an arbitrary number.

You can change your MTU then change channels, it works.

So you can cc, change MTU, cc back, change MTU back and have mabi running at a different MTU then everything else?

No, you change your MTU, then you cc, you should be running smoother on the channel you changed to.

Yes, but i'm trying to simultaneously run things such as a skype call or a music video or something. Unless MTU won't really affect those much?

The video will definitely be negatively affected. I don't know if you need to restart/refresh first though.
