Detection Rate Went Up A Huge Amount After Update

[barral_69]

After the update, my sneaking detection rates skyrocketed. They were sitting at between 2-8% on the level I'm on. Now, they are all sitting at low 80s-high 90s. And I have NOT changed ANYTHING that effects the sneaking or detection stat! WTF happened?????

[yippeekiay]

Are any of your characters wearing things that affect rate when they are on the same floor - or on a floor of their own - and you moved some of them?

My guys are all at 0% detection rate on the top floor but ONLY if they are on the same floor as each other. If I move any of them their rate goes high on some too.

Apart from that I'm sure something changed in the update BUT I thought it was made better, not nerfed. (Can't be bothered to read patch notes again lol)

[barral_69]

I double checked to make sure I didn't have anything equipped that did that. And I don't. So I'm not really sure what happened. But I spread them out anyway just to make sure and their detection rates are still very, very high even though I have 262 points into "Way Of Stealth" and nothing equipped that conflicts with having them on the same floor.... So I don't know what is going on. But, it was worth looking at that to see if you were right.

All my fella's are fine but i also moved some equips around to get some levels on the lowest's. Anything change after un-equipping and reequipping?

Does everyone have the same weekly bonus from the vote or is it possible to have different ones? Because one of those bonuses is additional stealth and sneaking xp, and the update may have wiped or reset that. Don't remember when the update hit and when the weekly reset happened but maybe there's the problem (more or less mostly because of desync I have different times everywhere so maybe that's something to look into as well).

Another guess I'm having is, how high up are you in the pagoda? Can you access the second lay yet? Maybe you have accidentally swapped from either to the other which naturally raises difficulty tremendously

[barral_69]

I did some swapping around of my equipment and moving floors. I tried seperating them, each to their own floor, and still the detection rate is around 80-95% on the 5th floor and up but if I take them back down to floor 2 and three the rate returns to zero. And I have +263 Way Of Stealth. I don't get it. Really frustrating trying to earn Jade on the low levels at any decent rate.

Well if you checked all those things I can't say what the issue could be either, the only possible explanations that I have at this point are A) it's some kind of bug or B) your good stats were the result of some kind of bug xD

Anyway, if weekly vote bonuses are the same for everyone, you should have much higher stealth now again since it's the winner of the previous vote.

What else I can say about sneaking is, stealth requirements are rising SHARPLY, the first few areas go rather quick but everything after takes a looooong long time. Or maybe that's just me and my method of doing things which very often is not the ideal one. Currently I keep my main character on the bottom floor (difficulty layer 2) and the others spread out on the gem and golden item floors. Still need that hat you apparently only get on the bottom floor and my stealth isn't good enough for the top floor yet (although I haven't checked it in ages) so rather than level the twins I farm stuff (also gotten some pristine charms on the side which is extra nice). Of course I would love to put more on the bottom floor, all even, but since hats are exempt from auto trashing the straw hats would clog the inventory and the funky hat would never show up...I wish there was a limit for hats to drop no matter how long they sneak and search, similar to how you only a single obol of each type no matter how long characters are afk. Anyway, normally I put everyone in stealthy and stealth sharing gear and my main just on stealth and scroll of power. Has gotten me pretty far...as far as I can say, last floor on layer 2 and by now I could probably go further.

it's a new week. we had a big sneaking bonus last week

[Zio]

Yeah but the post is from the week before the sneaking bonus.

But I thought about posting here again anyway because with the most recent update farming got a boost, and if you have alchemy high enough already you can now more easily grow the mushie for the sneaking bubble (last green one), and luckily the demand caps at 1billion so if your growth speed is good you'll get more out of that than the weekly bonus anyway (had mine now put on the final floor of layer 2, they jumped from 58% to 72%...I think, so the jump is relatively big but not THAT big,
