December IotM: International agent of intrigue
The agent will attack in combat (similar to karate expert), may heal at the end of combat (not quite but roughly double the HP restore [only HP, no PP] of a massage therapist) and at the end of combat sometimes drops items which grant spy-themed buffs.

Looks good, although the idea of James Bond teaming up with Batman is a bit incongruous.

Where'd Batman come into it?

Well, a James Bond-esque character as the sidekick of a superhero - Batman came to mind first is all.

I haven't used one yet - so i can't totally comment. But the Bond references i've seen on the wiki are awesome.

Re: December IotM: International agent of intrigue
From what I've experienced while using this is that it won't make you faster.
But it'll make things a whole lot easier, and there's something to be said for that. Also, it's fun!

Re: December IotM: International agent of intrigue
Are the drop rates of spy items supposed to be that low? I've spent an entire day with it, with proper caffeine and sugar, and got 6 spy items in total. Seems a bit on the low side. Mind you, most of the day was with judo kid gloves and Model-T, not sure if they were supposed to improve the drops or not.
Also, healing is done after both combats and noncombats. I expected so of item drops as well, but have yet to see a drop after a noncombat. Then again, 6 is anecdotal at best.

From my experience, the drop rate is in line with what it's supposed to be.
Now, if that drop rate is too low is another question![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)

think that is bad?
I had only 1 in the entire day (5:30-2:11). I was pleased with the other features, but very disappointed on the drop rate, they were the main reason I bought this IOTM in the first place...lets see how well it goes today....

Re: December IotM: International agent of intrigue
Hm. That's roughly 9 hours. At 4 minutes turns, that's 135 turns?
Yeah, that's some utterly terrible luck. I mean, like, epically bad. I don't think it's so bad that it couldn't happen with the current rate, but that's pretty hideous. Personally, I wouldn't be opposed to doubling or possibly even tripling the rate. I don't know the drop rate for the Gigaguy Cannon, but I would guess it's probably in the 30-40% rate. These items are more powerful, and I don't have a problem with them being lower, but it may be a little too low.
Personally, today in 6 hours, I got 3 items, but I don't have 4 minute turns. I had, roughly, 75 turns.

Re: December IotM: International agent of intrigue
Spy items only have a chance of dropping after combats. For coding reasons more than anything else.Muhandes wrote:Also, healing is done after both combats and noncombats. I expected so of item drops as well, but have yet to see a drop after a noncombat.
Re: December IotM: International agent of intrigue
Today was better, got 6 drops (started adventuring at 6:10) even though I was aiming for non combats.
I'm pleased now![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: December IotM: International agent of intrigue
~6 drops a day sounds just right to me. It's more items than you get from a Grouch sack, Couch, or Pouch. Plus the sidekick is doing good damage and healing at the same time.
Re: December IotM: International agent of intrigue
Is the drop rate/healing rate affected by sidekick effectiveness?

got 7 yesterday and only 2 today, guess the RNG is a strong influence. (oddly enough the 2 drops were in the first 2 hours)
Re: December IotM: International agent of intrigue
Almost forgot to mention this. It wasn't originally, but I upgraded that aspect as of two days ago. Effectiveness will increase those odds from now on.Muhandes wrote:Is the drop rate/healing rate affected by sidekick effectiveness?
