BLC Rings and Zoo Ring

[Tenzek]

Do we wear the zoo ring on one hand and all of the BLC rings on the other hand? How many fingers does the dev think we have?

[Tenzek]

But seriously, does the floor number affect equipment drop rates in any way? If not, I might as well restart from floor 1 each time when farming them to get the most time at the maximum kill speed.

Floor number does have an effect on drop rate, it's only small per floor but does add up over time. I think it worked out to about +1% for every 30 floors.

Considering the rate you kill things at, if you're JUST interested in equipment it might be better if you did restart from floor 1. Tiny benefits vs instant killing, and all that.

Though once you get to 1500+ of the various relevant equipment, the bonuses you get from them start to slow down compared to the time spent farming them. 1800+ and the only thing you really care about is gold tokens.

[Tenzek]

I'm not sure how I managed, but I just broke 900 on my equipment despite a couple of MLCs. I was at 6-700ish when I posted this, I believe.

[Daunmi]

MLCs doesn't reset equipment. If anything, getting MLC coins can make getting equipment faster.

[Tenzek]

Obviously, or the times I said I MLC'd would have reset my equipment.

[Daunmi]

I thought that's what you meant when you said you weren't sure how you manged to get more equipment while doing an MLC.

[Tenzek]

I meant that it seems like a low total for having 2 MLC completed.

[Daunmi]

Well, since the biggest influence on damage is gold token upgrades (and silver, to a much lesser degree of course), equipment isn't NECESSARY, just really helpful.

[Tenzek]

The flat damage from tokens is the biggest, but the % damage from the rings and cheese scales separately.

[BanzaiBob]

You actually want to be aiming for a point where you don't need any token upgrades in damage to clear the tower so you can get through an mlc as fast as possible. 3/4k cursed cheese and 1/2k curses and you are set all the way to 300 with no need for tokens. Rings are going to contribute almost nothing to damage once you get a good number of curses but that does require solid crafted leaves for cheese farming.
