Fantasy Life Glitch/Bug - Equip Item "(Magic) Attack+" Effect Gives Double the Increase

[@strumboid]

Woah, people still play this game? I used to love playing this game!

[@Roninalld]

i still play it because i go back to the older games a lot because (my opinion)they are better than some of the new games.

[@lune0808]

Really impressive bug ! Also now i see how you do damage testing, i wasn't sure about how to proceed myself because of the randomness..

[@devoid_of_chaos]

Yeah, for damage testing, if the damage range is small, I'll mark down all variables, but if it's like 9+ values, I just marked down the range (minimum and maximum). In these situations where I'm not going for exact numbers, just averages, it's fine for demonstrating what I need. For my actual damage testing research, though, I made sure to get as detailed as possible.

[@lune0808]

@@devoid_of_chaos I'm gonna try to make that too someday, this seems fun in another way (even though it's not very useful since you've already done it, it has to be rewarding in some way hehe), i'm just not doing that right now cause i've been playing unhealthy amounts of time on this lately, and i need to do other things too lol

[@vampire_catgirl]

That is super interesting! Luckily all of my best gear was already relying on Magic / Attack+ to begin with

[@xa447]

Ahhh, thx. This will may be why things got so messed up when I was making a damage calculator for the game

[@IchiHishi]

Nice knowing about this glitch!

[@ethanunkefer7682]

This is really useful to know! Does this also apply to Defense +X and Magic Defense +X equipment or just attack stats?

[@devoid_of_chaos]

If it does, it's not significant in any way that it would be worth investing in. You can only add +15 Defense or M. Defense to any gear, and a lot of endgame DLC bosses have attack stats in the thousands, rendering your actual Defense stats basically useless. Only Guard Rate+++ shields and elemental immunities will be useful for damage mitigation. Even with the highest legit Defense stat possible (940 Defense as a Paladin), Lord of the Cursed still hits for 700+ damage with tail swipe, for example.

[@ethanunkefer7682]

Thank you for letting me know! I'm replaying the game after a long time and still in the main story. Forgot how hard the bosses at the end of the dlc hit lol.

[@xpsychotimesx9996]

So is this just a gear glitch..? I don’t understand how this is done?

[@devoid_of_chaos]

Basically, just any effect that is Attack or Magic Attack, plus a number, behaves as if the value is doubled, while you have a weapon equipped. There's no extra stuff to it.

[@xpsychotimesx9996]

Sapphire of Chaos interesting, I guess I’ll have to take a real closer look at it. I only have an archer class at the soft end game, so I’ll have to see if I’ve just been running this without even a second thought to it. Maybe I can look deeper into it and see why this affect might happen. Thanks!

goofy game
