Bugged and Improved Master Robe (lol XD)

[ninjaluc79]

It's only recently that a bug was found concerning the Master Robe, the Robe of Mist, and the Earth Armor.

Supposedly, it's like this:

Master Robe - hp + 10 per turn
Robe of Mist - Resist Water, repel + 10
Earth Armor - Resist Earth, anti-status

Because of that bug, it's now like this:

Master Robe - hp + 10 per turn, repel + 10, anti-status
Robe of Mist - Resist Water
Earth Armor - Resist Earth

Now that means:

1. Only Vest, Robe and Shield type characters can resist statuses (since Earth Shield also prevents status like the bugged Master Robe).
2. RoM is now obsolete except for the additional defense and Water resistance. Sure you lose out on defense and Water resistance with the Master Robe, but that's easily solved by a Water Amulet, but that means Robe-types can only resist 3-4 elements (Fire for males; Water, Wind, and Lightning for both males and females)

Robe of Mist = +47 DEF, water resistance only
Master Robe + Water Amulet = +39 DEF, water resistance, hp + 10 per turn, repel + 10, anti-status

RoM just got WTF-PWNED.

=======================================================================

Let's see the setups:

=======================================================================
Tsai (Resistance Build)
=======================================================================
Runes - any
Head - Wind Hat [+Wind]
Body - Master Robe [+Status]
Shield - none
Item - Water Amulet [+Water] / Fire Emblem [+Fire] / Thunder Amulet [+Lightning]
Weapon - any
=======================================================================
Total: +79 DEF, +7 SPD, +10hp per turn, +15 repel, +15 STR, +15 hit
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Rina (Max Repel Build) (160 MAG, 160 MDF)
=======================================================================
H - Blue Gate OR Flowing
Rh - Barrier (+25 repel @ 255 MAG, +16 repel @ level 60)
Lh - Wizard (+6 repel w/ Barrier @ 255 MDEF, +4 @ level 60)
Head - Wind Hat [+Wind]
Body - Master Robe (+10 repel) [+Status]
Shield - none
Item - Water Amulet x3 (+15 repel) [+Water]
Weapon - Cyclone (+15 repel)
=======================================================================
Total: +75 DEF, +7 SPD, +10hp per turn, +60 repel @ level 60
=======================================================================
- Barrier adds MAG / 10 bonus to repel
- Wizard (w/ Barrier) adds MDEF / 40 bonus to repel
Max Repel = 71% @ 255 MAG, 255 MDEF
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Tengaar (Resistance Build)
=======================================================================
Runes - any
Head - Silver Hat [+Dark]
Body - Master Robe [+Status]
Shield - none
Item - Wind Amulet [+Wind] / Water Amulet [+Water] / Thunder Amulet [+Lightning]
Weapon - any
=======================================================================
Total: +79 DEF, +7 SPD, +15hp per turn, +15 repel, +15 hit
=======================================================================

So all Vests and Robes can resist Water, Wind, and Lightning; males can resist Fire, females can resist Dark.

=======================================================================

With the Earth Armor affected by the Master Robe bug:

=======================================================================
Freed Y (Resistance Build)
=======================================================================
Runes - any
Head - Flame Helmet [+Fire]
Body - Silver Armor [+Dark]
Shield - Earth Shield [+Earth, Status]
Item - Water Amulet [+Water] / Wind Amulet [+Wind] / Thunder Amulet [+Lightning]
Weapon - any
=======================================================================
Total: +139 DEF, +4 STR, +5hp per turn, +5 repel, +10 SPD, +15 hit
=======================================================================
Since there is only one Silver Armor and only one Earth Shield in the game, choose your Shielder wisely.
=======================================================================

SO, with the Master Robe bug, only Vest, Robe and Shield type characters can now resist statuses, other equipment type characters can't. Better keep this in mind when using mages and shielders.

That's all, thank you.

What means :
"Rh - Barrier (+25 repel @ 255 MAG, +16 repel @ level 60)
Lh - Wizard (+6 repel w/ Barrier @ 255 MDEF, +4 @ level 60)" those indexes:
" +16 repel @ level 60
+6 repel w/ Barrier @ 255 MDEF, +4 @ level 6"
u got repel % form lv alone?
Wizzard rune give also repel?
How u got 255 MAG ? With stone glitches?

You will only get 255 MAG from the stat stone glitch. The level 60 values stated above are Rina's average stats by that level.

More in-depth on the Magic Repel build HERE-> http://suikosource.com/phpBB3/viewtopic ... el#p143236.
====================================
Here's how the Magic Repel Build works:
====================================
You will need a Robe or Vest user with at least 2 free rune slots (1 for Barrier, 1 for Wizard or another Rune).
====================================
The following characters can use the full Magic Repel Build:

Chaco, Eilie, Gantetsu, Milie, Nanami, Nina, Rina, Sid, Yoshino
====================================
Let's have Rina as an example.

WITH STAT STONE GLITCH (255 MAG, 255 MDEF)
Equip Wizard Rune = 255 / 4 = 63.75 (round down) = 63, 63 + 255 = 318 MAG
Equip Barrier Rune = 318 / 10 = 31.8 (round down) = 31 %
Equip Master Robe = 31 + 10 = 41%
Equip Water Amulet x3 = 41 + 15 = 56%
Equip Cyclone Rune on Weapon = 56 + 15 = 71%
==========================================
Total Magic Repel = 71% (maximum possible repel %)

WITHOUT STAT STONE GLITCH (160 MAG, 160 MDEF @ level 60)
Equip Wizard Rune = 160 / 4 = 40 = 40 + 160 = 200 MAG
Equip Barrier Rune = 200 / 10 = 20 %
Equip Master Robe = 20 + 10 = 30%
Equip Water Amulet x3 = 30 + 15 = 45%
Equip Cyclone Rune on Weapon = 45 + 15 = 60%
==========================================
Total Magic Repel = 60%

Remember: YOU NEED TO EQUIP *BARRIER AND *WIZARD TOGETHER OR YOU WILL NOT GET ANY REPEL % FROM *WIZARD.
*Barrier gives Magic Repel from MAG, not *Wizard.

P.S. You actually need only one rune slot for *Barrier, you will only get less magic repel % but you still have a good chance of blocking enemy magic.
Even at 10-20% magic repel you can still block a fair amount of magic.

Hope that helps.

ok i get it, thanks, it's cool to see how your mage is immune to most spells ;D
I had tried this bulid on Luc and it is lot of fun, still it is a bit over the top but after Your post i consider to change 1 rune slot to Barrier and Robe of Mist to Master Robe.
Just this two and my Luc got 35% (wpn slot Mother Earth, 2 Runes slots BG, Cyclone, accesories winged boots and 1 usable item).
Thanks a lot it,s fun to try this bulid!

Is there a way to fix this bug?

[Omnigamer]

Only to patch the game with Pyriel's stuff. It's pretty well baked into the code; you're not going to find a workaround that makes it suddenly work as intended.
