So, if you want to stack status effects from your regular arrows, you want to reactivate Magic Quiver to disable it. Any effects / enchantments on the arrows you have currently equipped will not apply to Magic Quiver arrows. Magic Quiver will completely replace the arrows you fire. upgrades, ESPECIALLY those, since theye will skyrocket your damage once you got decent Atk). ![]() Only Atk counts (and any Damage Increased / etc. ![]() Magic Quiver ignores MAtk for the purpose of calculating your damage. Max out Magic Quiver if you want to use it, or at least get it to Lv 4. In short: Only Atk matters, Arrows you have equipped are replaced by a magic arrow, and enchants on your arrows do not matter either. This was back in Legacy however, so no idea if anything I say here still rings 100% true! Playing a supportive Magic Quiver Archer myself, so I might have at least a bit of an idea here. This deals 20d10 fire damage and 20d10 thunder damage, in a 10 foot diameter sphere centered on the target, 10d10 fire damage and 10d10 thunder damage in a 20 foot diameter, and 5d10 fire damage and 5d10 thunder damage in a 40 foot diameter.I haven't done any in-depth testing myself, but some other folks did. The arrow explodes on contact with the target. The target of this arrow must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be magically polymorphed into a frog for 1 minute, as though it had failed a save against the polymorph spell. The arrow creates an antimagic field in a sphere 50 feet in diameter centered on the arrow. The arrow fills a 100 cubic foot area with thick orange smoke. The arrow has the same effect as the irresistible dance spell (save DC 15). The snake remains for 1 minute and obeys your verbal commands. On a hit, it deals 1 piercing damage and 3d4 poison damage. The arrow has a +3 bonus to attack rolls. The arrow is jagged, and cuts your hand dealing 1d4 slashing damage to you, and an extra 2d4 to the target. On a hit, the target of this arrow must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be stunned until the end of its next turn. All creatures within the the bright light must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of its next turn. The arrow illuminates the area it hits, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. The arrow has a +4 bonus to attack rolls. The arrow has a -4 penalty to attack rolls. The arrow has the same effect as the thunderwave spell (save DC 15). The arrow deals an additional 4d4 fire damage on a hit. The arrow allows the target to regain 1d12 hit points. Creatures that are not constructs or undead return at full health. The arrow banishes the target to the positive energy plane for one round. The arrow has the same effect as the shatter spell. The arrow whistles, giving a disadvantage on Stealth. If the target is a metal construct it takes (8d8) damage, Its movement is halved, and it has disadvantage on Dexterity saves, and attack rolls. The arrow is a rust monster antennae, if it hits it sticks to the armor of the enemy, giving them -1 to ac if they are wearing armor. The arrow was cursed! The arrow fuses to your hand until the curse is dispelled. Roll d100 and consult the following table to discover the effects of the arrow you draw.

![]() ![]() Of course, your home won’t say “Hello” back, but – through its space, its aesthetic, and its atmosphere, it’s talking to you.Įvery home has a distinct personality. I want you to listen to what your home says in response to your greeting. Above all, commit to living just like you would inside your ideal home. Find joy in aspirational images of interiors and lifestyles – even if they seem out of reach to you now, allow them to excite you rather than deject you. Once you have a clear picture of your ideal life, refuse to compromise on aesthetic decisions – because everything in your home should support your vision. But the first step is allowing yourself to be inspired about the possibilities your space, and your life, holds. In the following summary, I’ll tell you more about changing and organizing your home to help you achieve your ideal kurashi. Lifestyle, according to kurashi, is not something you have but something you do. ![]() ![]() After all, it’s our conscious actions and decisions that comprise our way of life. Kurashi is a Japanese word that roughly translates to “lifestyle.” But it’s a bit more nuanced than that: it describes the actions that make up our days, the way we spend our time. When you begin to make decisions and establish rituals based on reaching your ideal conception of your life, your space will naturally transform into something closer to your ideal space and, as you consciously work to bring your home closer to your ideal space, you’ll find that your home inspires you towards living your ideal life. But when you start thinking beyond your four walls, you’ll soon see that the qualities of the ideal home you envisioned earlier can inform every aspect of how you live your life – and help you live as if your space truly were your dream home. ![]() I’m not about to tell you that you can physically transform your current living space from a studio to a mansion (though later in the summary I will be sharing plenty of techniques to optimize your space). Notice I said ideal life, just then, not ideal space. And all the decisions you make about your space should be guided, above all, by your intuition of how you can achieve your ideal life. Trusting your imagination will allow you to activate your intuition. And if you can’t allow yourself to fully imagine your ideal space, you won’t be able to inhabit it. You might be thinking, I should probably get my broken kitchen cupboards fixed before I think about installing chandeliers.īut it’s important not to cut corners or focus on constraints – you’re imagining your ideal home, here. It can feel silly, imagining yourself in a rococo palace, when in reality you might live in a one-bedroom apartment. Given the choice, would you like to live in a modernist Frank Lloyd Wright marvel? A rustic alpine cabin? A Versailles-chic rococo palace? A countryside cottage, a bohemian apartment, a beachside shack? I have a question for you, and I’d like you to think about it carefully before you respond. Whether you’re a longtime devotee of KonMari, or you’re yet to discover the life-changing magic of tidying up, this summary will walk you through simple strategies to define and achieve kurashi in your living space.Ĭreate an inspiring vision for your space Contemplating, organizing, and spending mindful time in your living space can be key to achieving your ideal kurashi. Finding your ideal kurashi means finding the ideal way of spending your time. Now, Kondo extends her tidying-up philosophy to the broader concept of kurashi, a Japanese word, similar to the English word “lifestyle”, that describes the act of living. Her KonMari method, first introduced in 2011, has become so popular that it’s slipped into everyday usage as a verb – as in, I can’t close my dresser drawers any more, I think it’s time to “KonMari” my socks. Inspired by Shinto religious practice, Marie Kondo developed an approach to streamlining and tidying the home that centers simplicity, spirituality, and joy. Create rituals to make small moments special.Invite Kurashi into your home, room by room.Create an inspiring vision for your space.Introduction: Learn to live well in your space. ![]() ![]() Raindrops keep falling on my head – Burt Bacharach / B.J.Rain – The Script / Breaking Benjamin / The Beatles / Aitch and AJ Tracey / Creed / Madonna / Mika / Trivium.Please Don’t Stop the Rain – James Morrison.Northern Downpour – Panic!

![]() This is great for locals who want a "staycation" or people who know the city and want a different view and experience in our city. You are in the city so there is some noise. Since this property is located on 9th Avenue - it is near the ballpark and the residential East Village district. I must mention Tai - he was friendly and made numerous great restaurant recommendations, and was the icing on the cake of our anniversary celebration. It was really clean and nice, pet friendly (the entrance has a doggie dish, as does the bar on the 9th floor which is out-doors (has fire pits, chairs views of the city toward the ballpark, etc) and has grassy area around the corner for the dogs. This is a great contemporary, warm property about 2 blocks from the Petco Park (our room had a view, hardwood floors and looked right at the field). ![]() I also noticed that the Hawaiian Airlines crew in the lobby in the morning, which also tells me that they must have high enough standards to host airline crew. Will stay here again as it was very warm and reasonably priced. Great views of Petco Park :Home of the Padres". The bartender was friendly and professional. We enjoyed the 9th floor outdoors bar with fire pits and plenty of seating, some TV's for viewing if sporting events. ![]() I also like the fact you need a key to get to your floor. Nice size bathroom, plenty of storage space. Certainly met the needs of the two of us. The room is comfortable, not overly spacious. We ate at Oceanaire, the best seafood spot in the area. It also is in walking distance of the Gas Lamp district. I was a little concerned about my BMW on the street, as it all worked out, I had a view of my car from my room. After 6pm and all day Sunday street parking is free. If you are staying overnight on a Saturday, use street parking after 4pm use your quarters to get two hours of time. Well trained staff in all areas of customer service, very stylish,neuvo, Mac friendly environment. From the moment we pulled up to the time of our departure we were treated like long time valued guests. Hotel Indigo will always be our first choice.We found a discounted rate at this top end property. We are definitely looking forward to our next trip to San Diego, and we could not possibly think about staying anywhere else. Each morning It was obvious that they all really enjoy what they do so well, and certainly it is not an easy job. ![]() Elaine remembered us too from last year, and she along with Sergio, Natalia, Victor and Manuel made our mornings with them more special than I can describe ! Breakfasts were absolutely perfect ( our compliments to the chef ) because of this outstanding team. We were thrilled to see they have a fantastic espresso machine this visit ! We were welcomed back by Sergio who has always remembered us over the years. The menu is varied, with lots of delicious options, and everything is very fresh and perfectly prepared. We are early risers, so having breakfast at the hotel is always an added plus. Housekeeping did an excellent job during our 3 day stay. Our room was lovely, quiet, and the bed was comfortable with plush pillows. Both were very helpful ,and they along with all the staff were always professional, available and pleasant. Even though we arrived from Boston hours before check in, we were so happy to hear "your room is ready ! " We had the most interaction with Renee and Gloria at the reception desk. We have enjoyed staying at Hotel Indigo many times over the past 10 years. ![]() ![]() ![]() It only took me four wax rings to get it right. With the new wax ring (without the plastic sleeve), the toilet did push down to the floor. ![]() If I had looked more closely before I started, I'm guessing that the toilet was already not quite resting on the floor properly.Īs a test, I tried installing just the plastic sleeve (with no wax), and I could not push the toilet down to the floor. ![]() The curious thing is that when I first removed the toilet, there was a plastic sleeve, but it was in multiple pieces. But I am definitely not an expert and I could be wrong. Also, I think the toilet flange is a bit too high compared to the floor. In a couple of places along its circumference, there a "bumps" which seem to be sticking up too high, which were hitting the plastic sleeve, preventing it from moving into the correct position, resulting in the toilet not being flush with the floor. The end of the metal pipe has a real rough cut on it. I think the real problem was poor workmanship when the apartment was built. If I can't find a wax ring without a plastic "horn", I'm not sure if it is possible to remove it.is the plastic horn embedded inside the wax such that removing the plastic horn would ruin the wax seal?įor those of you who are interested: I installed a new wax ring (for the fourth time), but this time I used a wax ring *without* the embedded plastic sleeve. I'm hoping that I can find one without the plastic "horn". I'm just lucky that they only cost $3.50 each (Canadian). I am about to go now to the hardware store yet again, for the 3rd day in a row to buy a wax ring. Maybe the pipes in high-rise buildings have different diameters than those in regular homes? The funny thing is that the old wax ring (installed at least 5 years ago, before I moved in) DID have a plastic "horn", but I'm guessing that it fit inside the pipe properly. Is it necessary that I use a wax ring with a plastic "horn"? Or can I do without the plastic "horn"? The hardware store only seems to sell wax rings with the plastic horn.but I can look around town for other types without a plastic horn. It only partially goes in, and the entire plastic horn is raised up, which is also raising up the toilet bowl.Ī few of you mentioned that this may be the problem, and I think you are right. I had to remove the toilet again, and when I did, I noticed that the outer diameter of the plastic "horn" is not fitting inside the pipe properly. Upon closer inspection, it appears that the plastic "horn" that comes included with the wax ring is not fitting inside the pipe in the floor. Yes, I let the wax heat up to room temperature before installation. Yes, the wax ring I used comes with a plastic "horn". Thanks again to everyone who provided suggestions. Step 5 Remove the old wax ring and any debris from the toilet pipe in the floor where the toilet was, being sure not to let any. ![]() ![]() ![]() (hell even going refresher first is better. There, you have so few gold -as a void, almost every sup can farm more in that position ^^-, that you'll never end anything. ![]() The only moment I truly find that agah interesting, is when you are position 3.5 or 4. You'll also have simply going dps item, while would you want to spent aditional time, when you can go faster. You also have necro, you are a big threat alone, can unward, and with micro management, those necro will often do much more than that 1 sec, not to mention the aura (and lvl 2 necro is cheaper ^^) you can go cuirasse for example, much more a threat solo, and you might give much more impact with that aura than that 1 sec of chrono (yeah it cost 1100 gold more, but you have at least one item to help you farm, and along with bkb, you'll become extra hard to kill, unlike with agah) You (your team ^^) just clean from distance one wave of creep, and tada you also have your cd.Įdit: also, as really, for that 1 second of chrono.

Dk, sven, ursa, jugg, medusa, n'aix (oh god i really miss this guy, but with those item, i think he cann't even counter gyro properly) alchemist etc. we could mention litteraly every hero that right click, but isn't very bursty, or have ton of magic damage. so void is actually much more affectedĪnd on top of that as you pointed it, void doesn't flash farm, or at least cann't, when he needs to rush bkb to survive the early encounter.Īnyway, solarcrest is a fucking pain, and between this and glimmer cape (which imo should not give invis at all, but recover its magic resistance like it was before -or mb invis only on self-) heroes such as tb didn't diserved a single nerf, troll woulda need a scaling nerf (same power at max level). Sf and gyro can totally rely on magical damage till their mkb.Īm makes manta which dispell it, and is much more mobile in fight, so he can easilyer change of target, he also farm so much faster for his mkb. Ta is all about burst, so offensiv use of solar is harder on her (invis/blink) and it's not that easy to put the solar on time on the target you want to save (if it's not already too late after that meld-refraction hit). ![]() Solar crest is much more of a pain on void, cause you can use it directly on him. Even now, you just need to put tread int if you want to double you are both wrong and right. Btw, if you play with agahs, you are playing void wrongly, it was bad, and it's still bad. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We have a risk-Vip shipping 30-day guarantee that begins only when you receive the product!

Cranks are much easier on the shooter’s back and shoulders, and they cock the crossbow the sameway every time, which, theoretically, leads to increased accuracy. ![]() ![]() Many high-end crossbows sold today have a built-in crank. The Ravin and Excalibur both have silent cranks that can be used for cocking and decocking as well, although not as fail-safe. It allows for decocking with the crank system without worrying about your hand slipping and potentially ruining the crossbow. The ACUslide decocking mechanism on the TenPoint Vapor RS470 is truly revolutionary. We looked at ease of use, balance, and fit and finish of each crossbow. This category is all about the user experience. The Excalibur Assassin 400 TD had the best average, but all five crossbows shot groups effective enough for any hunter. The worst group was thrown out to account for human error, and we averaged the best two groups for the final score. These numbers are often determined by the marketing department and are unreliable when compared to the actual field weight of the crossbow when set up to hunt. Portabilityĭon’t be fooled by the weight listed on manufacturers’ spec lists. The goal is to determine the usability of each crossbow in a hunting application and not just on the test range. The human factor is present in the test, especially in the accuracy and ergonomics categories. In each category, a score from 0 to 5 was given with 5 being the highest possible score. We rated five attributes of each model (portability, trigger pull, accuracy, ergonomics, and velocity) and recorded the results. As in past tests, the scores are based on portability, trigger pull, accuracy, ergonomics, and velocity. The strengths and weaknesses of each crossbow were assessed to compile a total score. The CenterPoint Amped 415 fits nearly every hunter’s budget with a price point of less than $400. A budget-minded crossbow is also included. This year’s test includes four flagship models ranging from $1,799 to $3,000. First-time and youth hunters are also embracing crossbows as they lack the painful recoil and loud report of firearms. Gun hunters are using the crossbow as an introduction to archery hunting. Many vertical bow archers are aging and unable to shoot their bows effectively. They are excellent tools for hunter retention and recruitment. But it seems as though crossbows are here to stay for a number of reasons. As technology continues to advance, some states and provinces are studying whether or not they are too effective. The hooks will gradually position themselves as you pull upwards.Crossbows continue to grow in popularity despite ongoing controversy. ![]() If you were to use the Barnett Crank Cocking Device, which I have on both of my Barnett Ghost 410, one has to put the hook sled on from the top as there is a spacer rod joining the two hooks.Īs "robertyb" mentions, "putting the hooks on from the top being faster", I agree because the weight of the hooks keep them on as one pulls up on the handles. If you look at the hook from the side with say, the hook opening facing downward, the top section is much thicker, which may interfere on removing the hook. ![]() In a post awhile back on a crossbow forum, the poster recommended installing the hooks from the bottom for easier removal. There is no mention which way to install the hooks. The crossbow is now cocked and the rope cocking aid can be removed. Using the rope cocking device, pull the crossbow string into the trigger mechanism until an audible click is heard and the safety engages. Place your foot in the stirrup, grabbing the rope handles and firmly pull upward. Make sure the cocking device is secure on both the stock and the string. For maximum accuracy, place both hooks against the side of the flight track. You must loop the center of the rope securely in the groove of the stock, below the scope mount. The instructions that came in the package with the hooks: Open the Rope Cocking Device, spread the two roller hooks, one to each side of the rope. No mention which way to install the hooks. All my Barnett Ghost manual states: when cocking do not lift the string off the rail. ![]() |
