Both the melee and magic pickers are great.

I have noticed though that gargoyles aren't ever given as an option for best hunting (if you're a low enough level to be hunting them anyway)

I dont know if they are ever the best to hunt (they might be at very low levels), but have you taken into account the 'Low Spawn Rate'? As there arent many Gargoyles per spawn, you have to change one of the settings to include creatures below 'medium' spawn rate.

I managed to get it to be 3rd choice by looking at its stats and entering fake stats on first attempt.

I was sure I had it set to any spawn rate but when I just checked again, I got it to appear in the list. Maybe next time I'll be certain I did everything correctly before suggesting there's an error :oops:

Nevermind, I haven't hunted them since I was around level 30 anyway.

The pickers are great! I only have one request... allow us to filter out things in the melee picker that we less than a 98% chance to hit.


For example, my top 5 :

Sawtooth Crocodile Beast 98% Island Sea 940 1180 2043 30900 4 8 128,810
Red-Eye Frog Vermin 98% Darkfor Jungle 776 774 1894 31002 0 8 118,785
Tarragon Haunt Spirit 2% Mortis Dramoris 6770 4057 1708 85053 20 20 106,803
Demonsaur Demon 2% Mortis Dramoris 6704 3936 1746 86488 20 20 105,711
Inquisitor Celestial 2% Mortis Dramoris 6766 3599 1818 85381 20 20 105,194


And of course I'd love to see vials added to the pickers...

Oddly enough, I noticed a 2% chance to hit creature just today and thought to myself "I should filter those ones out" :) I'll see what I can do. Being a mage I tend to only use the Magic picker so things like this often fly under my radar :)

Vials are a pain because they work on base stats. It would mean keeping track of base stats and whatever kit stats you have. Also, I've had terrible problems with things like MP. No matter which order I apply the maths, I don't get the same numbers I see in game.

One way to deal with vials is just to put your vial'd stats in instead.

I've now set it up to filter out anything with less than 60% chance to hit (because anything less than that probably isn't going to give good AP/XP). I've also fixed a couple of other bugs so you should be seeing more sensible AP estimates now.

Awesome work Jinx. Understandable about the vials. :) Thanks again!

What I might do (eventually) is allow you to store more than one set of stats so you can have "Vial'd stats", "Normal stats" and maybe even "Summon Stats". If I let people name their own it gives you a bit more flexibility.

But I really need to put the other skill stuff at the top of the "to do list" - things like Hard Shell, Thump, Demonic Wrath etc etc etc.
