Talk:Palalan Embrace

I'd like to make a point that the Production EXP boost is additive with the LIFE-Talent-EXP-boost.

So you get triple the normal amount, not quadruple.

The Combat EXP buff is multiplicative with like effects (Double Rainbow) so you do get quadruple. It also has the same status-icon as the Combat EXP potions so I'm thinking it is the same buff and wouldn't stack with the same potions.

For Exploration EXP, I don't know of any other ways to increase that; so can't conclude if its additive or multiplicative.

Exploration Mastery can boost Exploration EXP.

With r1 Exploration Mastery (Quest EXP +50%) the Darkness-Hoarding Lich (normal 21,200 expl exp) gave 53,000 Expl EXP. So it's an additive bonus as well.

So far, I've noticed a pattern.

The "Random Stat Buff" type of Palalan Embrace boost seems to take effect in 3 parts.

Part 1 seems to choose from HP, MP, or Stamina to boost.
Part 2 seems to choose from Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity, Will, or Luck to boost.
Part 3 seems to choose from Max Damage, Magic Attack, Critical, Defense, Protection, Magic Defense, Magic Protection to boost.

So far, every random stat buff i've gotten has followed that pattern.

Also, how should we even list this? The stat buff's ranges are all over the place, it seems. Even at rank 1, sometimes you can roll low and get a buff that's weaker than what you'd gotten at a lower rank.

I've documented 35 stat boosts so far, and I can guarantee the 3 parts. I've put something in the table to that effect, but it's not crystal-clear.

(I have never seen MaxDamage boosted, so unlisting it as a possibility.)

For the boost numbers, my data says:

• Part 1 (HP, MP, SP) ranges from 55 to 289. (Probably 1 - 300)
• Part 2 (STR, INT, DEX, WILL, LUCK) ranges 24 to 195. (Probably 1 - 200)
• Part 3 ranges 5 to 14.

These boost numbers don't appear to be affected by skill rank, nor C.LVL.

I'm virtually convinced that the range is flat across ALL ranks, and that the rank only affects the boost duration.

We can just say that the range lower-limit and upper-limit are fixed across all ranks. But for now, I'll just grab more data sampling

So unless I missed something, nothing in NA says what affects the duration.

When I get the speed boost (got it 3 times in a row, the game must realize I'm human and want to pity me) it tell me it'll last for "11minutes", at total level 17500 and potential level 67.

It seems like each kind of boost might have its own duration.

At Rank 5 Palalan Embrace, I received a Combat EXP x2 boost, that lasted for 30 minutes. Now at Rank 4, I received a random stat boost that lasted 26 minutes.

About the random stat boost, I feel like the boost comes in 3 separate parts.

Part 1 will choose either HP, MP, or SP to boost. Part 2 will choose either Str, Int, Dex, Will, or Luck to boost. Part 3 will choose either Crit, Defense, Protection, Max Damage, or Magic Attack to boost.

Or at least that's what I've observed so far.

Okay, the duration must be different for different things. Rank 1 Palalan Embrace got me an Exploration EXP boost, that lasted for 35 minutes.

I'm really thinking the duration is either semi-random or different for different effects. I just received a 2x Combat Experience boost that lasted for 45 minutes, rather than 35 minutes for some other boosts I've gotten at r1.

Probably different for different effects now that I've seen it a bit too.

The Combat EXP buff has a different duration to all other buffs.

All the other buffs have the same duration as each other.

I've prepared a new summary proposal which should communicate that more distinctly. It's on my UserWiki page. (I can't figure out how to create a link to it..)
