Refresh my memory...

[Broli]

When you buy Focusing Cloak, Bio Armor, etc, are the stats added specifically on your roster page?

The reason I ask is because I sincerely don't believe any of the stats were added for me. I got Bio Armor, Focusing Cloak, and the Refined Ore all at the same time, but I don't recall getting the stat adjustments or having to balance out my stats evenly (which I would have had to do since there are uneven stat increases).

If someone actually remembers adding these points, I'd appreciate it. In other words, Rad, if you remember, tell me. =(

Do you have a link to wher you purchased your items? I did a quick search, but couldn't find it.

[Broli]

I didn't purchase it. It was given to me for DA.

Here's the link.

It's listed at the bottom along with prizes for about 50 other people.

I don't see anything mentioned in the staff notes >.< I'd be more then happy to add the points but Rad would have to make that call.

[Broli]

Well, in all honesty, I believe DA ended before staff notes were incorporated (or were they?).

[Kaden]

I think you're right about DA being older than staff notes. Regardless, I'll have to think about it. I do not think you would even begin to lie about something like this, but I'm fairly certain those points were added.

Like I said, I'll think about it. That's a whole lot of points to just be throwing around.

[Broli]

Alrighty, and I'll understand whatever choice is made.

[Broli]

I did some calculations, and I believe the points were added.

At the end of DA, I had the following points to add:

+20 TP that can be added randomly.

+10 strength & +10 attack power.

+15 Str & AP, +5 Spd & Sta, +10 Def & Rec.

All physical stats +30.

Stats as of March 8, 2005.

o Strength: 380
o Defense: 380
o Speed: 380
o Stamina: 380
o Recovery: 380
o Attack Power: 380
o Intelligence: 154
o Luck: 154
o Determination: 300

Stats as of now.

o Strength: 500
o Defense: 500
o Speed: 500
o Stamina: 500
o Recovery: 500
o Attack Power: 500
o Intelligence: 154
o Luck: 246
o Determination: 500

A 10 month period (March to January), at ~20 points weekly, gives me 800 points for 10 months

800 + 20 = 820 10/30/2005 by Rad double training.
820 + 20 = 840 04/24/2005 by 18 double training.

After adding Bio-Armor (+30 to each stat):

o Strength: 410
o Defense: 410
o Speed: 410
o Stamina: 410
o Recovery: 410
o Attack Power: 410
o Intelligence: 154
o Luck: 154
o Determination: 300

Remaining points:

+20 TP

25 str, 25 AP, 5 spd 5 stam, 10 def and rec

After adding Focusing Cloak and Ore points:

o Strength: 435
o Defense: 420
o Speed: 415
o Stamina: 415
o Recovery: 420
o Attack Power: 435
o Intelligence: 154
o Luck: 154
o Determination: 300


+20 points remaining, used as so:

o Strength: 435
o Defense: 435 (Got 15)
o Speed: 420 (Got 5)
o Stamina: 415
o Recovery: 420
o Attack Power: 435
o Intelligence: 154
o Luck: 154
o Determination: 300

840 points to spend still remain from those 10 months.

I then calculated how many points were needed to equal out to current stats:

o Strength: 65
o Defense: 65
o Speed: 80
o Stamina: 85
o Recovery: 80
o Attack Power: 65
o Intelligence: 0
o Luck: 88
o Determination: 200

This amount of points allocated adds up to 793 points.
840 ? 795 = 43 point difference. A 43 points difference clearly rules out the Bio Armor not having been added, as that would be 180 points. The Ore's absence would result in only a 20 point difference, so we can believe that this was added. The Focusing Cloak involves more than 40 points, so we can assume this was added as well, as it's highly speculative and unlikely to assume only half of the Focusing Cloak's points were aded, that is of course unless I'm forgetting points somewhere.

So, really, I'm just missing 43 points. This could be explained by my absence during the summer. I believe that I was put on the inactive list as an NPC, and a character on the inactive list doesn't receive training.

All in all, I got my points. Sorry for the confusion.

As long as everything's settled and all is well in the world, I'm gravy.
