I meant that SK trolled me by giving me the one UV I wanted on an Emberbreak (for T1 LD) on a one-time crafted Firebreak, which can not be used in T1 LD. I hope that clears things up for everyone.
Your worst UV trolling
Had a mighty cobalt helm that got shock low on craft. When Punch came out I figured I'd try for something else. Got sleep low. 15k down the drain. Never rolled again.
After very unsuccessfully UV farming for the past week, I had 15mist left over so I decided to craft a Frostbreak armor to use as a costume.
It got a piercing high.
Twisted Snarble Barb - damage vs slime: medium >,<
Dark Briar Barrage. Guess what was UV.
IT WAS: Damage vs. Contruct Med.
Thats all i has to say
Peeps its NORMAL that only 1/10 of your crafts have UV's, coz the chance of free UV on crafting is 10% .-.
Btw, my last item for T3 clearance was the last thing i've done today (Ash Tail Cap). I was doing vanaduke even without it, but i get some pretty high shadow hits there, so i was hoping for a shadow resist UV on that cap. So, i crafted it...
UNIQUE VARIANT ACQUIRED!
Nice, lets see what i've got...
...SHADOW RESISTANCE!...
...Low.
Not sure if win or fail :|
Hello, it's the most likely UV. A Shadow Low or a Fire Low (which another poster complained about) isn't the game "trolling" you. It's a good outcome. Trolling is stuff like CTR VH on a Pulsar (still sells for a bit, but quite useless), or Undead VH on a Nightblade.
Since I've only got crafted UVs, the only troll UVs I have are ones that are just plain useless ... like the low damage bonus to gremlins on my Polaris, or the damage bonus to slimes on my husband's Barbarous Thorn Blade. *sigh*
Damage vs family: not very useful
Damage bonus on a mist bomb: nearly useless
Damage versus monster resistant to type of damage: useless
I got a high UV versus beast on a Fiery Vaporizer. -_-
at first i had an asi low + beast med on a Final Flourish, i rolled it......Gremlin low -_-
This is the greatest UV troll in the history of Spiral Knights:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/Dawnstrike/screenshot/594707027406930963
Once made a Spiral Scale Helm for Tier 1 LD and got Shadow Max on it. Great! I got a Max! Except that there's no such thing as Shadow damage in T1. Turned out good for me, though. Ended up selling it for 10k to some poor guy in the AH who apparently didn't know its lack of value.
Another one was a Vs. Fiend Low on a Shadowtech Mk II.
Also, why the necro, Derp?
I tend to be pretty lucky with UVs. I don't get them often, but I've gotten some GOOD ones.
That being said sometimes I feel like the "random" algorithms that figure it out are trolling me hard.
Rolled with punch to try to make my Omega Shell "useful" 5 rolls: Elemental Low, Piercing Low, Elemental Low, Shadow Low, Normal Low. FINE! I'll take normal. -_-
Upgrading my shadowtech to Mk II: Undead Low.
Upgrading my toxic catalyzer to virulent later on: Undead Med.
Suffice to say when I upgrade further that little checkbox gets unchecked.
Then again, I decided after the Knight Auction to roll a UV with my share of the volunteer payout. Since you can't get a UV by crafting and you could never buy one, I decide to roll on my Dark Retribution. What do I get? CTR Very High. As much as it's awesome, it's almost the only bomb that I'm most often using when I have a Full Demo suit + helm equipped ANYWAYS. XD
Sometimes UVs troll me, sometimes I get UVs that troll everyone else. :P
flourish > swift flourish construct high
sealed > avenger craft = slime vh.
Triglav rolls:
-slime low
-ctr low (before the new attack)
-slime low
-gremlin low
-slime low
-ctr low
-gremlin low
After that I gave up for a long time until recently after the new charge attack came:
-ASI med
I'm happy now ^w^
Back when i used to craft gear with mist daily i got a circuit breaker helm with max piercing.. Other than that Punch trolled me for 18k ce on my rocket hammer zz
I rolled a GF and got ctr vh+beast high+something useless low.
I rolled a pierce max+shock max+norm low vog. Great roll, shoulda been a skolver.
I rolled a snarb max pierce+norm med+stun med.
I rolled a seerus mask 5* max pierce+shad high+curse low.
I rolled a Dark Retribution (before they nerfed it o all hell) ctr high+undead very high+fiend low.
MY FIRST TO MAX UV's EVER!!! Sleep max demo armor...Sleep max demo armor!!!!!! that's right, to max uvs, that do NOTHING!
To understand why these are troll rolls, i must clarify. I constantly triple roll ashtails. In fact, i triple rolled ash tails (twice) before my skolver and once before my snarb and got useless trips on the ashtails. so troll by proximity. Also i rolled a handful of SS before the GF. Had the roll landed on an SS, it would have been super win. On GF, super troll. The DR has the all important ctr high, but c'mon, the other 2 uv's are enemies strong against shadow trollolololol. ANd of course then they ruined the DR after i spent 500k triple rolling it. (like 1 day later). So that was bonus troll points.
Got some new ones for you all to enjoy...
Shadowtech Alchemer - UV Damage vs Undead: Very High
Prismatech Alchemer - UV Damage vs Beast: Very High
Only Very Highs in the past six weeks.
/me knocks over the alchemy machine.
I check the forum and see that this thread is active again and have a laugh.
I go into the game after being out for most of the day, and I've won my bid for a frostbreaker armour for a costume I want to make.
I go to the alchemy station, select the icebreaker armour... click the button, and out comes...
Icebreaker Armour with Shadow Max!
-_-
Maybe I have some tier 2 Lockdown in my future?
VH Construct - flourish
Max shock - owlite
VH Beast - DA
Oh this one is the best imo, triple UV
Polaris - VH CTR, VH Beasts, Med gremlin.
There are countless others too....this thread makes me wanna kill punch.
Dark Thorn Blade: ASI +low from craft (nice!)
Wanted to try for a ASI +med or fiend +med
BTB: no UV.
Punch: Beast +Med
Punch again: CONSTRUCT +LOW
Punched him.
Crafted Skolver cap and got maximum piercing.
Ohwait..
Relatively bad UVs:
Ascended Calibur + Construct Medium (craft)
Divine Veil + Fire Resist Low (craft)
Skolver Coat + Curse Resist Low (Punch)
Ash Tail Coat + Curse Resist Medium (Punch)
Barbarous Thorn Shield + Shadow Defense Low (Punch)
Grey Owlite Shield + Shadow Defense Low (craft)
Better UVs:
Silversix + ASI Low (craft)
Skolver Cap + Stun Resist Low & Shock Resist High (craft)
Ash Tail Cap + Shadow Defense High (Punch)
Awesome UVs:
Divine Avenger + CTR Low (Punch) (after 5 rolls)
Gran Faust + ASI Medium (Punch) (First roll!)
Shivermist Buster + CTR Low (Punch) (Also first roll)
Voltaic Tempest + CTR Low (Punch) (after 6 rolls)
I dunno, I think I might actually be pretty lucky.
Nice to see my thread still in use ^^ On second thought though, I guess it's not a good thing...
@Toastnaut: Maybe you want to sell that? I've started collecting max breaker stuff :3
Yes, that's how bored I am now.
2 rolls = Voltaic Tempest + CTR Med
10 rolls = Voltedge + Beast low, gremlin low, other low's that aren't worth it for me. A few more voltedge rolls + CTR Low... ok, better than nothing.
1 roll = Dark Brier Barrage + CTR Med
10 rolls = Fang of Vog, same as voltedge. A few more Fang of Vog rolls gets me a CTR low.
WHY SK, WHY MUST YOU TROLL ME INTO SPENDING SOOOO MUCH CR!!
At least I have good luck with bombs.
I have some awesome crafts, but those were after hundreds of crafts (mist crafts or just regular crafting to get to the higher * items).
it gave me a crystal bomb with Gremlin +Med and Undead +Low
Is it good for upgrading to RSS?
@Sirenblue gremlin bonus is useless, undead is good, but it's a low. I would try with another one. At least a med or some CTR.
I'll just hold on to it until I manage to craft one then :[
Thanks!
My story isn't that bad, but it still provides the luls =]
Back in the day when haze bombs were once 10 CE, I decided to rcraft a few 100 or so.
I got 2 CTR Meds and a few CTR Lows, the rest were either Low-VHigh damage useless bonuses.
I lost profit D: oh well, t'was fun.
Then arrived the achievement that required you to equip a Firecracker bomb.
Crafting it is 10 CE so might as well.
So I crafted that..... and WAHLAH, I got a CTR Med, yay!
Out of 400+ haze bombs and 1 fire cracker.
Two CTR Meds were haze and one CTR Med was firecracker :@
Well, I stupidly bound it before I upgraded it to see how the costume looked. Depending how well you'd pay for a max breaker armour I'd consider unbinding.
Acheron- slime low, gremlin low, fiend low, construct med
Voltedge- construct low, gremlin low, ASI VH (:'D)
My biggest troll was getting DMG Slimes VH... on a Blitz Needle... TWICE in a row.
Dark Retribution: Undead Low, Gremlin VH
Warmaster Hammer: Gremlin Low, Beast Low, CTR H
Everything else: 5 trillion rolls to get a medium UV.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF ----
is fire low on a gun slinger cap first try too and I am a cowboy so I keep the hat but normally I use solid cobalt instead
I don't use punch I can't afford his services
I decided to spend some extra CR i had on rolling on a wolver cap. Spent 400k, 20 rolls on it and what do i get? Nothing but lows. LOL
