[GUIDE] Cabal basic info but essential

There seems to be a lot of confusion over this subject. So let me just clear it up.

There is a leech-limit you CANNOT gain more than 5% of your own hp and
mp per hit. So let's say for example, your HP is 3,000. This means the
total maximum amount of HP you can hope to steal from a mob in 1 hit is
3,000 * 0.05 = 150. And your MP is 2,000. This means the total maximum
amount of MP you can hope to steal from a mob in 1 hit is 2,000 * 0.05
= 100.

Now comes your max leech. This is given by your character level divided
by 10, so let's say you are lvl 150. Your max leech will be 150/10 = 15.

To increase this limit, you must equip vampiric items. So let's say you
have 2x vampiric earrings +4 equipped (+30 max hp steal per hit each),
and a vampiric amulet +5 (+45 hp steal per hit), this is +105 max hp
steal per hit total.

Now let's say we are wearing 1 extortion bracelet +4, this gives 4% hp
steal of the total damage. So imagine we hit a mob and damage it for
5,000hp. We will gain 4% of this which = 5,000 x 0.04 = 200HP.

But as we are only wearing +105 max HP steal per hit from equipment and
our base leech is 15 HP (lvl 150 divided by 10) we only gain 120hp from
the mob.

I hope this guide helps.

1. Is there crit dmg. cap ?
Critical damage can be increased by equipment and buff skills. There is no critical damage increase limit for the equipment but the critical damage increase by buff skill is limited at 100%.

2. Is there cap on crit rate from skills – can a force blader use 3 skills to gain 35% crit rate?
- The critical rate increase by skills is limited as 25%. Therefore, Force Blader also has 25% of critical rate increase limit by using 3 skills. When Force Blader uses 3 buff skills, the sum of critical rate increase is 35% but only 25% will increase.

3. Can you explain exactly how alz/1slot/2slot item drop woks and are there any caps to those bonuses. Are they interfering with each other and how (what happens if u have some of all 3 types of these bonuses)? How is the bonus working in a group of players if one or all of them have such items?
If you mean the “bonus” is the option on the equipment to increase drop rate of Alz/ 1 slot/ 2 slot, there is no limit for drop rate increase. The option applies to the character which wears the equipment so the option of the player does not affect party members. For example, if player A and B are in one party and player A has alz drop increase option on equipment and player B has 2 slot drop increase option on equipment. The increase rate of Alz will apply to player A and increase rate of 2 slot will apply to play B only.

4. Can you explain how exactly + min dmg % works, and does it work for both magic and sword attacks?
The minimum damage applies to Sword skill only. Sword skill has range of minimum damage and maximum damage and Magic skill has fixed minimum damage rate per use. If the maximum damage of Sword skill is 100, each class has its minimum damage as below:
Warrior: 80%
Blader: 90%
Force Shielder/ Force Blader: 85%

Therefore, if above classes have minimum damage option as 1%, they will have minimum damange for Sword skill as below:
Warrior: 80% + 1%
Blader: 90% + 1%
Force Shielder/ Force Blader: 85% + 1%

If above classes set their minimum damage option as 100%, they will get fixed minimum range as if they used Magic skill.

5. Can you explain how add. Damage works and does it work for both magic and sword attacks?
Additional damage applies to both Sword and Magic skills and it ignores defense of the target. For example, if the character can give 1000 damage to monster and it has additional damage as 100, it will give 1100 damage to monster.


6.We know that skills have shorter casting times in combo mode. Is it possible to tell us what the formula is to calculate them or to add that information to the skill description?.
It is not possible to calculate the skill casting time in combo mode and there is no formula.The maximum difference among skill casting time is 0.25 seconds and it depends when user hit the combo gauge.

7. In Forgotten Temple: Is there any difference between the red, green and blue key?
Red, green and blue key in Forgotten Temple B1F are the items to start quest. The only difference between red, green and blue key in Forgotten Temple B1F is the procedure of the quest. They all reward same drop rate and quest reward.
