Stoneskin Potency

I have a question. Which one would make stoneskin more potent: MND or Enhancing Magic? I can't remember what someone once told me... I think there was some formula that calculated how much damage stoneskin would take based on MND and Enhancing magic. But yeah... I dunno if I should wear my prism cape or merciful cape when I cast stoneskin to get the most out of it... does anyone know? @_@

It is reported that the formula for determining how much damage is absorbed total is:

* X = ([Enhancing Magic Skill] / 3) + MND
* F is the the amount of damage reduced.

* F = X (if X < 80)
* F = X * 2 - 60 (if 80 <= X <= 130)
* F = X * 3 - 190 (if X > 130)

Maybe Bastok had it...?

Windurstian Rank 2, Fame Level 8
Sandy Fame Level 5
34RDM/SMN

Sand O'ria was in First place in Conquest at the moment; both Windy and Sandy didn't have the scroll for sell by an NPC and I wasn't about to run to Bastok and check for it there. I almost bought it, either there or Windurst, for 25k but my BF was in Jueno and it was only 2k. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Stoneskin and Phalanx are so pretty.

Okay, theory time. If Stoneskin is Earth-based does that mean it is affected by weather and your elemental chart in the Equipment menu?

If so, then that might make it last longer based on however much elemental attributes you give yourself. However, I do not think Barstone will increase its time because it gives you "resistance" to Stone. So, on the contrary, the elemental attributes you possess inversely affect spells.

If this is true then Barthunder will enhance Stone. The element that defeats Thunder is Stone, so when your Thunder element is raises you have resistance to Thunder and empowered Stone.

Albeit this is not a complete theory and has no experimental basis at this point. I need to test it with weather effects and alot of thunder and stone elemental armor. I have to balance the Def to make it equal in both instances for an accurate result. I'll fight the same enemy and see how long each one lasts and if there is any significant difference.

I'd do it right now, but the servers are undergoing maintenance. lol

Elemental resistance given by armor/barspells does not affect spells that you cast on yourself, other PCs, or NPCs. Elemental resistance only affects how much well you resist spells based on whatever element you have resistance against. For example, having +50 thunder resistance will not make you nuke fore more with stone spells or enhance stoneskin, but it will help reduce the damage you take from thunder spells that are cast on you.

Weather does affect the strength of your nukes, but I'm not sure about self-buffing spells. Since light weather does not enhance cure potency, I'd be willing to bet complimentary weather does not enhance self spells. I've never noticed a difference either way, sorry I can't be more helpful.

If you want to enhance stoneskin, equip a water staff, not an earth staff or a thunder staff, for the added MND. The only effect earth staff will have on stoneskin is helping to prolong it by negating some of the physical damage you take. Wearing the earth staff when you cast stoneskin does not enhance the spell.

I know this is from like 2005, but lightsday does increase cure potency randomly, just as darksday decreases its potency randomly.
who sells it bastok

Whoever takes charge of placing the name of the merchant, might want to add Sororo in bastok markets.... at pos (H-5). He sells stoneskin when bastok is in 1st

Um. It reduces the amount of damage you take. It's kind of like a super protect that you can only cast on yourself.

It doesn't reduce the amount of damage you take, per se. That's Phalanx, which reduces the amount of damage by X amount per hit, where X is a function of your Enhancing Magic (and maybe other factors). Stoneskin simply absorbs the next X amount of damage you take, where X is some function of your Enhancing Magic (and maybe other factors).

To illustrate this example.... a Goblin hits you 10 times for 100 points of damage each. Phalanx might take off 50 points off of each hit, resulting in being hit 10 times for 50 points each (total of 500 damage). Stoneskin might absorb the first 250 points off damage, so you would be hit for 0, 0, 50, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100 and 100 points of damage on each hit (750 total).
Using them together would give make you hit for 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 50, 50, 50, 50 and 50 for a total of 250 points of damage.

As a side note, Stoneskin also wears off when that level of damage has been taken, whereas Phalanx wears off after the duration of the spell has expired.

Isn't Stoneskin available in Selbina at all times? I could be wrong.

Hope that helps.

Yes, it's confirmed. Not only does that city in question have to be in first place, you also have to LIVE in the city as well.

Hopefully this helps.

It's all true. The town is first place gets access to Stoneskin. If you live in said town you can buy it. I however live in Windy and had to buy it in Bastok. So I had my mule buy it. My Bastok mule has almost no fame (just enough to get warp scroll) so it cost me almost 8,000 gil. This is still cheaper than Ah which on my server was selling it for 9-10k.

Now on Ragnarok Windhurst is first (Cause we are REALLY #1) i'm windhurstian and its sold to me.

bastok has stayed second for like a month now....windy and sandy keep changing places between first and last, so if your bastokian on ragnarok, make a new char and put in #1 city.(w/new id) send them the money, and buy it, thats how i got it when bastok was in first a month ago.

when does sororo sell this?
# Jan 07 2004 at 12:36 AM Rating: Good
it must not be a regular item, because i haven't seen it being sold by sororo at all.
RE: when does sororo sell this?
# Jan 07 2004 at 4:37 PM Rating: Good
You must be a resident of the nation that is #1, otherwise they won't sell it to you. If you are not a resident of the nation that is #1, just ask a friend or LS member who is a resident of the #1 nation to buy it for you and you just give them the $$.

You must have looked at the same list I did. On my server, Sand O'ria is in first, and they don't have it in the Port magic shop.
