One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important
If I itch too much before I save up enough I will get a ring of flying and the shoot upgrade.
With regard to damage for metamorphosis maul attacks while hunting denizens, which should provide the greater damage boost, +2 STR gauntlets or level 2 knuckles, and which of the two helps dragon abilities? (I intend to over time bash to dragon.) I have a pendant that boosts criticals, so I'm looking for something to better my base attack damage now.
Additionally, is it worth considering an investment in a +2 constitution belt or a +10% health bracelet? The latter is 300cr cheaper, but I'm not sure which provides the most benefit over the long-term.

I'm not sure about health vs damage, but for belt vs bracelet, I'd get the bracelet unless you need the extra endurance or you have low (<13) con.
I'd recommend +1 con belt (400cr) and a level 2 bracelet(700cr) over +2 con belt (1000cr)
Con is about an 7% increase in health per point so you get a 14% increase with +2 con. So you get a 17% increase with level 1 belt and level 2 bracelet (plus 10% more mana).
In order of effectiveness though, level 1 sip ring>hunters belt>mayan bracelet
does it increase the chances of producing more inks?
bracelet > belt for bashing and pvp, for the credits.
Str greatly improves gut damage (as does int/collar for incantation). Diminishing returns start at like 16 or something now, too (only for gut/incantation).
should pretty much level out level of hunting artefacts. all level 1 arties > level 2 arties, on a benefit per credit basis.
sip ring > bracelet > belt > regen ring (still good) > mana regen ring
I put bracelet > belt primarily for max mana boost, as this is greatly helpful in both bashing and PVP, and you get much more hp+mp per cr from bracelet.
I'm going off of benefit per credit, not total benefit. Bracelets are cheaper than belts, and get even cheaper...er as the levels increase.
Also, max mana is really valuable, even hunting.
My my understanding, the max number of inks you can make per mill simply goes up. You do not have a chance to produce extra inks.
However, the artefact butchering cleaver does have a chance to produce extra things of whatever you're butchering, including chitin, buffalo horn, fish scales and so on, along with being faster and never mutilating a corpse.
That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
If you have 16 con at level 80, +1 con is about a 5.4% health increase. If you have 18 con (a con-spec runewarden with weathering+jera for example, or any class with con-spec, jera, and a +con icon), then +1 con is only about +4.9% health, less than a bracelet.
For level 1 belt/bracelet, there's only a 50 credit price difference, so it's pretty close unless you have high con, and the choice between endurance or mana probably matters more than the slight health difference. At level 2 the bracelet is 300 credits cheaper though, and 600 credits cheaper at level 3, so the huge price difference means the bracelet is definitely better unless you have low con (or need the endurance).

Technically speaking, though, knuckles don't really do anything for your kill method (bbt). Str increases BBT (and everything else's) damage significantly.
Yep. Everything but garrote.
Flay speed is mildly affected by speed, or at least was (after flay changes) when I tested it.
Dex is the primary modifier, but speed whips do (or at least, did) affect it as well. IIRC the difference was about 100-150ms tops.
As serpent, I always swap to WoT to flay (up until I got a level 3 lash which is the exact same speed).
I have been unspeakably good this year. I would like some awesome Apostate artefacts to spend money on for Christmas. I will leave a plate of chocolate-dipped coconut Macaroons and some beer for your reindeer.

The last think apostate needs is artefacts, particularly anything that increases affliction rate. Sure they have hindrance issues (something I'm bringing up in multiple classleads) but their affliction rate is already insane.
All good ideas, honestly, aside from soulcage (wtf delete plz) and the faster refuge (would require an alternate message to allow prevention).
1) It does not count as a death whatsoever. No completion of contract or writ and so on.
2) It does not cancel the user's timed instakills (eliminate/death).
Imagine this scenario: Jinsun has a contract on me, he preps death rubs over a long period of time in between hermits, universes, and pathfinders. Finally he stops running to fling his Death at me. This gives me enough time to freezex3 and pound, killing him while he's paused. I have to gamble though, I have no way of knowing whether his transmog is up or not. I go for it, because this may be the only way to get him to actually hold still long enough to void the contract through slaying him. I gamble, I pound, he transmogs, I die before getting balance back and he fulfills a contract that he ultimately should have failed due to being killed by his target.
#2 is part of what makes this a great game though, and is infrequent (although maybe infrequence shouldn't be a factor in whether something is tolerable). Issue #1 is not though, it has been around long enough for my taste.
Should keep the user from losing experience still, still keep it off their STAT STATS and function as a starburst, but at least give us credit.

I'll be getting 7000 cr within the next 2 weeks. So far I had only planned on picking up diadem, tuning fork, and a SP in anticipation of weapon changes. Any advice on what I should pick up with the remaining 4350 cr? I'm currently a con traited dwarf miner. So I have 18 con, 12 str, and 12 int. I should also get 75 cr worth of vouchers. 2k cr will get me the clay to test other things so feel free to recommend outlandish experimental artefacts that I can test also. Thanks!
