Tat Changed (Again)? (in General)

Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but my Tat is suddenly leveling up as I fight instead of when I train. Would've sworn this wasn't the case before, but of course I could be mistaken. Anyone else notice this?

you are mistaken, tattoos level up when they gain exp not when you train exp.

Actually Shade, test that out. Whenever I decide to hold xp, my tattoo won't level up, but after training, it'll jump more than 50 levels at once.

It also updates when anyone requests your character with the tatoo to be updated, via the inspect function.

With training as well as update on inspect, the servers' cached data is refreshed.

If it has grown, it will become apparent then.

If it jumps up in between, you've just got a cache update :)

You can also show the growth of your tattoo by unequipping it. That'll cause it to refresh as well.

I've been tracking both my char and tattoo growth and charting it. The tattoo level (at least the Jig does) increases both with fighting, and then again when you train your char. The more XP you wait to train, the more obvious both instances of increase are. Whether it's a matter of refreshing or cache flush, the tattoo has been doing this for more than a week that I've been watching it.

What are the tatt levelling stages? I ask, because I just equipped a base (20) lesser tatt and it went to 40, showing no changes to hp/dx/st. Then 8 fights later it went to 70. My other tatts level at 20 and 70 in each 1000 points of level.

sorry meant 100 points of level!

I'm not having a good day here! Just occurred to me, it's a tatt of ice - no changes to st/dx. Do the direct damage tatt familiars gain in hp?

Nope, only the ToJs gain HP, as it states such in the item description

i think it's just when u reload the page?
