^So just out of curiosity, what's the -3 blocking compensating for if not for the switching elements?

On the DST shield? Compression. You get both a Light shield and a Darkness shield in one. ~In Media Res

^ IMR, I think it should not take -3 to defenses since the prices got double cost as you mentioned:

Nope. Remember how for armours with skills work? You have to pay for the armour itself, plus the skill, plus either an MC markup or have the stats reduced in some way. It's the same for shields - the DST shield is two shields compressed into one, so you have to pay for both shields. You also need either a compresion penalty, or to MC the shields. ~In Media Res

Pyrecrag and other dual element weapons released recently have dual element compression, cost double, but have no compression penalty?

which means either pay double OR have the penalty, right?
v ohh I see, nevermind then.

@above: No, Pyrecrag is actually 2 weapons in 1, therefore you'll need to pay double the price of 1 weapon, but it'll need to receive compression penalty. Since Pyrecrag is MC, the penalty is cancelled and the price gets another *1.1, making it costs 2.2 times of a normal weapon.

@IMR may i just ask, on your info subs for the new DST shield price, what that floating 44 million gold buying price is for?

Sorry, I copy/pasted too much from the spreadsheet that calculates prices. That's just junk leftover from whoever used the sheet before me. ~In Media Res

I checked and the 44million does not go on any of the DST shields. Also the price of the level 116 one is wrong. The level 116 shield is 1255432 gold. I have updated the level 116 shield entry with the correct buy and sell prices.

No, that was a typo on my part. The price should be 1266432. Sorry, I fixed the price in the database.

Refixed entry price. ~Scakk

I'm quite confused on the DST penalty value, it is -3?

ie. The Level 131 version's stats:

Dark or Light: -25

Melee: +13
Ranged: +9
Magic: +7

I don't understand why -3, if the standard Lev.130 shields in Adder's forge are:

Specific element: -25

Melee: +13
Ranged: +13
Magic: +13

So it's like, -4 on Ranged and -6 on Magic, where is -3? maybe it's -10?

Just some thoughts (sorry if it's a noob question) Thanks. =)

I think it is probably done as -3 on average - 0 on Melee, -4 on Ranged, and -6 on Magic, which averages out as -10/3 = -3.33...

Magic could actually be 8 based off that theory, so I suspect it's more +3 accuracy for the monster, than -3 MRM, which would mean that on 13 res, it has 85% accuracy, so 89% on Ranged, and 91% on Magic, which average out at an 88.33% hit rate, which would be rounded to 88% in-game, and hence means +3 accuracy for the monster, the equivalent of -3 MRM.

Without the penalty, it would be 16 Melee / 12 Ranged / 10 Magic. It focuses on Melee. Focusing on one thing is worth a lot more than spreading out*, so adding up all the values will be lower.

*For comparison, which is better: a shield that gives -10 to all resistances (for a total of -80 points), or a shield that only gives -25 to one (for a total of -25)? You'd probably want that second one, right? So focusing on one is a lot better, even though the "totals" are worse.

Or if it's possible just add some + points to another resistances to make one or two resistances much better. :)
Those defenses are quite low though. :p

For example:

Level: 133

COMBAT DEFENCE
Melee +8
Ranged +8
Magic +8

ELEMENT MODIFIER
Fire: -25%
Water: +3%
Wind: 0%
Ice: -25%
Earth: 0%
Energy: +4%
Light: 0%
Darkness: 0%

The price should be getting double cost or so.

Or

Ranged +8

ELEMENT MODIFIER
Fire: -25%
Water: +3%
Wind: 0%
Ice: -21%
Earth: 0%
Energy: 0%
Light: 0%
Darkness: 0%

The price should be inceased or so.

instead of

Adding +3% doesn't mean you can substract -3% to make one resistance even lower. These are calculated by points and the lower (so better focus) it gets such as -21% and then going down to -22% and such, it'll cost much more points than making it from 0% to 3%. That 3% won't give much points, not enough to cover -3%.
For more, you can find Balance Sheets in Master Guide of the Formulae in AQ Guides and check it for yourself on how it works. ^^
