The enchant worked, just check the difference in your char stats.

my first time trying median xl and wanted to play my brother. I tried doing the tcp/ip game and it looks like we can only host games but not join each other. I made sure we put in the correct ip address and have the same version of the game and all but it still wont connect. Thanks for any help on this

it's normal, for tcp/Ip games to work, you need to download Hamachi first and connect to each other
from there you can either join an existing network or create a new one private for your friends

could it not also be possible to open the relevant ports on router, ensure no carrier grade NAT, other networking solutions?

Are cycle drops based on MF % or are they entirely random? Trying to farm them currently and haven't noticed much of a difference one way or another. Would be nice to know if it actually made any difference though. :)

EDIT: I am also curious.. I've done farmed the zone about 15 times now and haven't found a single MF cycle. Are they really that rare, or is my RNG just that bad? I've gotten roughly ~75 cycles (more or less) and none of them have been MF.


Up.

Cycle drops aren't affected by MF, the only way to improve yields is with more players.

And for that matter, the desc says it's 2.2 seconds, and if neutral, it increases the duration by 30 seconds, so I assume the duration would be 32.2 in this case?


Just fyi, they are unsocketable now, unlike before so you can rest them out. IDK why they were unsocketable before, worst design decision ever, esp for new or even casual players. Anyway, it starts at 2.2 sec and increases time with hard points. The relic has +11 so has a 5.5 sec timer.

I said Despite for shapeshifter. But if you want just for debuff enemies, you can give him the TU unique spetum with miasma proc.
