Absolute Damage

Absolute Damage

Ever go in the desert to C.C. some Tarons with your Celestial or God
that has a +11 set & wonder how these weak mobs can still hurt you??

The answer - Absolute damage!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ABSO . . .WHAT?!

Yup, absolute damage!

Absolute damage was added to mobs like Tarons, Hell Spiders, etc
a while ago after a game update that increased how much exp they gave.
I am sure some of the stronger mobs had this before that update
but I cannot say for 100% because I was really weak before this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How does it work?

So if you go to something like a Taron & take offer your set,
you can see that it should hit you harder than with it (duh!)
Let's say a Taron hits you for 350 dmg & then you lv up then maybe upgrade your cape.
As you gain more def or AD the 300 dmg starts going down eventually to 50~100dmg 
(As you would expect!)

Now absolute dmg comes it once you go below that 50-100dmg range that a Taron should do.

Let's say you get a +9 AD stone - which adds 20AD 
 
So now you lowered the dmg you take so much that it "resets" 
& you start taking 200~150dmg again!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 What to do?
There really is not much you can do about it :P
Mobs with absolute dmg will always do dmg to you no matter what your def or total AD is.

So someone like me who had a full +15 items would go to Tarons & 
still take damage like the other mortals who had a +11 Noob set on lolz

-----------------------
Slight Advantage

You can take advantage of this in a way though!

Say you're getting hit for 200-150 dmg.
Try taking off some AD stones or circlet to see if you get hit lower.

I have done this in the past with D.D. Batz & gotten him to hit me for around 50dmg 
so I would not need pots :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why Absolute damage?

So why does this even exist?
I think it's just a way to balance the game.

Honestly someone like a TK or BM with shield can easily reach 5k+ def
& without the absolute damage would be able to hit in like the middle of 4 verids 
and not take any damage at all.
Also the same goes for someone who is full +15.


When I had all +15 items - all clue mobs would hit me in the 100-200 range.
(except for clock lv)
Other strong mobs that couldn't really touch me:
*Lich Boss
 
*SF Verid
*D.D Batz
*SF Cursed
 

________________________________________________________
When all else fails - increase your dex!!!  :P

~NOTE!~
No amount of Absorb Damage can reduce Absolute Damage
Also Absolute Damage is not the same as Pierce Damage!!

Upgrading +10~11

Upgrading +10~11

So time to upgrade to the next level!

Maybe you are tired of your perfect stat +9 set?
(I highly recommend to imbue instead if it is D grade armor )

Making your perfect set +10 will require more than powders this time!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trying +10

Yup. That's right, trying.
You need to find the NPC in Azran Town to help you try +10.
Trying +10 requires a few items:
*2 x +9 armor/shields/anct weapons of the same kind
*4 gems of the same type (Corals/Garnets/Emeralds/Diamonds)
*50mil gold
*Wiseman Stone
 
 Click on the NPC so the window pops up.
From top to bottom -
 Place the +9 items, followed by Wiseman Stone, & lastly 4 gems.

The 4 bottom windows will show you what are the 4 possible outcomes of passing +10.
 (i.e.)                 2 x +9 items with 30dmg/7crit                  
with show a +10 piece with 30dmg/7crit in all 4 windows =P

or
 
You can try +10 with +9 pieces that have different stats.
 (i.e.)  +9 with 30dmg/7 crit & +9 with 24dmg/6crit       
will show a +10 piece with:
30dmg/7crit
30dmg/6crit
24dmg/7crit
24dmg/6crit

Each of those stats has a 25% chance of what your armor will have if you do pass +10
so chances are low that you'll get what you want if you mix something like this!!

~NOTE!~
You can only try to +10 you item this way if they are:
Anct Weapons, Shields, or Armor.
Accessories cannot be made +10 - except for earrings.

-----------------------
Success Rate

The main thing that will determine the pass rate is the # of gems you use!

Here are the rates:
1 gem  -   8%
2 gems - 16%
3 gems - 24%
4 gems - 32%

Gems are so cheap so be sure to get 4!!!!

~NOTE!~
You can actually try to +10 something with just 1 gem - 8% pass rate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Success!
Gratz!! You just made +10 :D

Your two items now combined into one +10 & stats increased by +10%
Also it should have gained a new "bonus" stat based on which gem you used:
Diamond: Increase drop rate by 8%
Emerald: 40 Pierce damage bonus
Garnet: 40 Absorb damage bonus   
Coral: Increases exp rate by 2%      


~NOTE!~
Anct weapons made +10 will gain double the above gem stat!

Enjoy your +10 & good luck on your next! 8)

~NOTE!~
You cannot combine(+10) normal +9 weapons.
Weapons must be made ancient before you can try to +10 them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FAIL! 
Sorry, better luck next time! :P
At least your 2 x +9 items are not gone hehe

I recommend always to have enough for two tries
so if you do fail you can try again within 5 seconds :D

~NOTE!~
Pass or fail - Wiseman stone, gems, & 50mil are lost!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One Higher +11

Wow, how hard was +10 huh?

You needed 2x of the same item to even try it lol
so +11 must be super harder to do right!?

Okay - to try +11 you just need LAKS!!!
Just drop LAKS onto your +10 item until you pass.

----------------------
Why +11?

Why not?? You already came this way & you're only a few LAKS away!!

+11 Adds +20% increase to your items
& doubles the gem stat if it is AD or PD :D
                                         

~NOTE!~
Only on earrings will your item be destroyed if you fail +11

Upgrading +1~9

Upgrading Items

New to Supreme Destiny?
If so - You might be wondering how you can upgrade items.

You will be using Ori or Lak Powders for most upgrades in your time here.

Items in SD have a + next to them to show how high they are upgraded

The plus of an item can range from plus 0 to +15!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+1 - +9 Upgrade

Upgrading your first item will require some powders.

Ori Powders can be used to upgrade from +1~6
+1 & +2 are 100% pass!
Lak powders can be used to upgrade from +1~9
+1~4 are 100% pass!!
You will quickly notice that Lak powders are alot more expensive than 
Ori powders - which cost at most 1mil so it is best to use only Ori powders for +1~6

Also - since Lak powders can be used to upgrade to +1 & all the way up to +9,
except trying to upgrade from +7-9 to take alot of Laks.

~NOTE!~
You sometimes will gain a +% next to your item when you fail to upgrade.
This just means that % will be added to the pass rate next to you try to + it.
Also - failing a powder will not destroy your item!

-----------------
Gains 

Each + will increase your items stat by 10%
So a +9 item will have 90% increase of the base stat 

Also most +9 items gain an extra bonus stat:

~NOTE!~
Helmets & Shields used to give added resistance 
but was removed to balance the game (+9 circlets gave resist too)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Powders

There are so many ways to get Oris or Laks in SD which range from:
*Collecting 10 Ori or Lak scrap & talking to Jeffy in Azran Town                    
*Hunting Mobs like Tarons, Molochs, or even sometimes from the exp quests!
*Or you can always buy them from other players if you really need them :)      

Laks - Sold at 4mil  Oris - Sold at 1mil
