HentaiVerse FAQ

The following is a list of frequently asked questions in regards to the Hentaiverse mini-game.

If you cannot find the answer here or in other pages, additional game mechanic questions can be asked here. For character building advice, ask here.

General

Q: What is the best/fastest/easiest way to get credits?
A: The fastest way will always be by donating. You can also upload high quality galleries, and convert Gallery Points to Credits. Barring that, you can get credits by playing HentaiVerse (with the exception of the Item World because enemies do not drop credits). In that, there are some other things you can do to improve credit gains including training Scavenger, Quartermaster, Archaelogist, and selling artifacts to other players. There are also Hath perks that increase credit gain.

Q: Does Karma effect battles?
A: Karma increases your forum power which increases your Spirit Points (1/7th of your power is added to your SP). The effects of that however, are extremely minor.

Q: Is there any way to reset experience spent on primary attributes?
A: Yes, as of patch 0.6.0.

Q: Is there any way to reset the Auras I've selected?
A: No.

Artifacts

Q: Is there any difference between the different artifact types?
A: No.

Q: Is there any way to choose the reward given by the Shrine?
A: No.

Q: I've collected all the pieces of the chainsaw. Where is my chainsaw!?
A: Ask Tenboro that very question. (Hint: Don't count on it.)

Crystals & Monster Lab

Q: How do I get crystals?
A: Enemies drop crystals as they do with other items. Artifacts can also grant 100 of a random crystal type as part of their random reward.

Q: Is there any way to increase crystal gains?
A: Scavenger training will increase loot which will increase crystal gains while the Crystarium Hath Perks and HV difficulty setting boosts the number received when they drop.

Q: Is there any way to increase drops of [Insert Specific Crystal type]?
A: No.

Q: Is there any way to turn off crystal drops?
A: No.

Q: Do crystals have any use other than upgrading monsters?
A: No.

Q: How do I use crystals?
A: Go to the Monster Lab page. Click on one of your created monsters. If you have enough crystals to upgrade a stat, it will be highlighted in level.

Examples: Enough crystals to upgrade a stat:

Not enough crystals to upgrade a stat:

Difficulty

Q: What are the advantages of playing on harder difficulties? What are the disadvantages of playing on lower difficulties?
A: Experience, credits, and the quality of item/equipment drops are dependent on the difficulty (higher difficulties grant more while lower difficulties grant less). Drop rates are unaffected.

• If you are doing an Item World, difficulty effects the number of levels the equipment will gain upon completion:
  • Easy - 0 or 1 level.
  • Normal - Guaranteed 1, slight chance of 2.
  • Hard to Nintendo - Guaranteed 1, chance of 2 which increases with difficulty.
  • Battletoads to IWBTH - Guaranteed 2, chance of 3.

Equipment

Q: Can I use a piece of equipment of a higher level than my character level?
A: Yes, however, you do not receive the full benefit of the equipment's stats. For more details, see the Level Scaling page.

Q: Can proc chance increase as a weapon increases in level?
A: No.

Q: Can proc duration/effect increase as an item increases in level?
A: Yes.

Item World

Q: What happens upon completion of an Item World?
A: If the difficulty is Normal or above, the piece of equipment gains a level (Easy is not guaranteed a level gain). This increases the stats of the equipment. Details can be found on the Level Scaling page and through the Equipment Scaling Calculator.

Q: Is there any way to increase the number of levels gained upon completion of an Item World?
A: Other than increasing difficulty, no.

Q: What effect does the quality of the entered have on the Item World?
A: There are variables determined by equipment quality:

• Enemy Difficulty - The quality of the equipment has a substantive effect on enemy difficulty. Enemies in a Crude piece of equipment are significantly easier than those in a Magnificent piece.

• Experience Gains - While experience gained in Item Worlds does not directly correspond with equipment quality (each piece of equipment has an Item World experience value. Equipment of a lower type quality can have a higher value than those of a higher quality), higher quality pieces of equipment generally have higher experience rewards.

• There is some debate, but drop rates might be affected by the quality of the piece of equipment entered.

Primary Attributes

Q: Is there any way to predict how much experience future levels of an attribute will cost?
A: Simple answer: No. Complicated answer: Yes.

Q: What does [Insert Stat Here] do?
A: Check here.

Proficiencies

Q: Is there any way to increase proficiency gains?
A: Only through training Assimilator.

Tokens

Q: How do I get [insert Token type here]?
A: Tokens are granted as a reward for beating arenas and rarely dropped by enemies.

Q: Is there any way to increase Token drop rates?
A: No, but the Arena Token Bonus increases as you complete higher Arena challenges.

Q: Is there any way to transfer Tokens to another player?
A: No.

Q: Is it possible to sell Tokens?
A: No.

Q: Is it possible to exchange Tokens of one type for another?
A: No.

Training

Q: Does Power Tank (under Training) have any direct impact on battles?
A: It depends on whether you are using legacy battles or are in the HentaiVerse.

• In legacy battles, Power Tank increases the power of your Legendary.

• In the HentaiVerse, Power Tank increases your power which increases your Spirit Points (1/7th of your power is added to your SP). This, however, is not significant enough to warrant training.

Q: How much do future levels of training cost?
A: Use the training section of the EH Calculator.

Q: Is there any way to reduce training costs?
A: The Penny Pincher series of Hath Perks reduces training costs slightly, but it is highly unlikely to be a worthwhile investment.

Q: Does training Quartermaster reduce your chance of getting items/artifacts? Does training Archaeologist reduce your chance of getting equipment/other items?
A: Technically, yes, but the reduction is infinitesimally small.

Luck of the Draw

Q: Does Luck of the Draw increase the quality of equipment granted by the Shrine?
A: Not at this time.

Q: Does training Luck of the Draw increase the drop rates of Phase, Kevlar, or other special equipment types?
A: No.

Q: Does training Luck of the Draw have any effect on equipment suffixes?
A: No.
