Is v502 better than v501?

[wufiei]

I was thinking of hunting one or both of these. Is there a better version? If so, which one is it? I have a v501 on my Ramarl already. Was thinking about hunting one of these for my hucaseal. Thanks in advance.

v502 is better, with an activation multiplier of x2.

v501 is x1.5.

Both multipliers must be applied to the end of the activation rate formula.

So I should just hunt v502 then? Thanks. See ya around. Or not lol.

I don't think anyone REALLY knows for sure, but the following seems to be the general consensus over at a really popular private server:


V501 gives certain amount of % activation bonus (1.5 I think) to all special attacks EXCEPT the instant kill ones (dim, shadow, hell, etc)



V502 gives same % activation bonus to all special attacks + 2x activation bonus to instant kill ones


It's too bad these specifics aren't mentioned in the item description.

Whatever the case, V502 is better than V501. I hear that v502 is a much more difficult to find than a v501 though.

Good luck! They can be pretty useful!

as far as i know, V501 increases dim, shadow etc effectiveness by 50% too, not just paralysis, freeze etc. the only difference between V501 and V502 is the instant kill effectiveness is, as you say, doubled.
