0 1 Initializing CrysFest (Round 624) ...
0 0 Battle Start!

...with no shard involved. I'll need to get 70% PMI to tank more damage >_>

you'll get that when you are higher level.

I will look better at how much crystals i get per hour next time i'll make a crysfest but i think it is 30k/hour with maxed scavenger.

30k/hour is pretty conservative.

I'm only 37/50, and I think I can get 30k/hour, according to my calculations.

Cleared three schoolgirls arenas on IWBTH today. I wish i had more resources and time.

*going back to semi-hiatus mode in a few hours*

30k/hour is pretty conservative.

I'm only 37/50, and I think I can get 30k/hour, according to my calculations.

If you are farming so much crystals per hour why are you leveling stuff for other people?

Gotten up to Power Flux but can't do Kill Zone in The Arena...
And got up to Real Life but can't do Invisible Pink Unicorn and Flying Spaghetti Monster in Ring of Blood... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

a new beginning IWBTH (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
(for shame)

Just cleared T&T on IWBTH for the first time. Took over 10 God Scrolls and 10 Avatar Scrolls to survive the last 15 rounds and... it wasn't really worth it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

How long did it take?

I do it daily with my eyes closed, so I'm not sure why he had to use scrolls there.

—wait, are you using an Estoc with Shades, eleeinos?

I think aurabolt is a pretty cool guy. eh solves maze and pony puzzle blindfolded and doesn't afraid of anything.

How long did it take?

I really don't know. I never pay attention to that because I always do other things too at the same time. It couldn't have taken more than an hour though... I think. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

You must be a mage then. I had to use all these scrolls because I ran out of mana/spirit potions after round 85 and there was nothing else to keep me from duying. The only reason I beat the actual T&T in the end was because I had a maze riddle right after round 99, which gave me ~300 mana points when I was practically empty. Spirit too, I had to use double double SV and double Protection effects (without even knowing if they work that way) because I was down to ~50 spirit points from round 90 onward. (Eila501 taking away a few hundred points of Spirit every time I met her didn't help with that. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)) So yeah, I couldn't have possibly won without the scrolls and the last maze riddle, but in the end it was only worth it because it was my first clear on IWBTH.

Yeah...



Tell me how awful a combination that is.. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Not sure if sarcasm because my gears are right in my signature.

Yeah...

Thanks, that explains it.

That's a suicidal setup, but it's also awesome at the same time because I, myself, don't have the guts to play as a glass cannon.

Also, congratulations on hitting 300.

No sarcasm at all, the last thing I pay attention to is every member's signature. >_>; I just know that the game is plenty of times faster for mages than melee players, so I took a guess.

Thanks, that explains it. That's a suicidal setup, but it's also awesome at the same time because I, myself, don't have the guts to play as a glass cannon.

I've been playing with Light Armor + 2H weapon ever since I was level ~55, so I can't really change now. And as for playing as a "glass cannon" specifically, it's not really "dangerous". It just can't get you far, but at the same time you won't die at all until you run out of mana. Spark of Life rarely triggers for me (never if I'm careful), the problem is that you need all the buffs and you need to cast them all the time, which makes you run out of mana quickly...

In any case, the original idea was to build a set of gear that would raise my evade as high as possible (I was even using an Estoc of the Cheetah for months), but I never managed to raise it over 49%. Even with SV on, I still got hit enough to need all the buffs on at all times on IWBTH. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) I don't know if it can get any better in the future but like I said, I can't simply switch to mage now, just the thought of all the proficiency training and grinding makes me nauseous.

Plus, if you don't use Shade Gear like that, then it really has no point in existing in the game, right?

Also, congratulations on hitting 300.

Thanks. I don't think I'll be hitting 400 though, the game is already tiring me.

Judging by how Beyond the Clouds went, I can probably finish the school-girl challenges on IWBTH now . . .

But I have a life, so screw it.

Your mace is an ethereal one, why did you use voidseeker shard on it ?
You do highschool girl arenas on BT? how much time did it take?

Your mace is an ethereal one, why did you use voidseeker shard on it ?

Voidseeker Shard also adds 50% hit chance.

how much time did it take?

One hour for Beyond the Clouds.

You do highschool girl arenas on BT?

Only once just to see Battletoads written under Highest Clear.

Afterward, I just do the first 50 rounds on IWBTH for the experience.

I've gone IWBTH on all arenas from 'First Blood' to 'The Twilight'. (I'm at lv. 254 as of this post.)


MY GEAR;

Magnificent Demonic Mace of Slaughter

Exquisite Shade Helmet of the Fleet
Exquisite Shade Breastplate of Negation
Legendary Kevlar Gauntlets of Dampening
Legendary Kevlar Leggings of Deflection
Magnificent Shade Boots of Negation


Not everyday but usually once every 24 hours I'll defeat
'The Trio and the Tree' by using the following items;

6x featherweight shards
1x voidseeker shard
1x aether shard
8x Godly Mana Potions
3x Mana Elixirs
2x Spirit Elixirs


All arenas beyond The Trio and the Tree I can defeat by using the following items;

6x featherweight shards
1x voidseeker shard
1x aether shard
11x Godly Mana Potions
2x Spirit Elixirs


The mace stuns Bosses/Legendaries/Ultimates for 4 turns, giving me opportunity to recover mana by
using 'FOCUS' 4 turns. When I've recovered mana, I'll use 'Soul Harvest' to recover spirit. This way
I can go on forever without ever dying. This strategy also works on common/custom monsters but is
much harder against them because they got too low hp for me to recover overcharge sufficiently.
But going with 11x Godly Mana Potions is time consuming so I prefer doing it with 11x Mana Elixirs;
this way I can defeat 'The Twilight' (Lv.240) within 2 hours. Soon I'm about to reach Lv. 260 and
the 'Beyond The Clouds' -stage which I'm about to complete with same strategy I've described above.
My guess is that the 'Dance with the Dragons' is gonna be an easy one.


Here's the 10 spells I'm using in the battle screen quickbar for
all stages in The Arena, though I switch from Poison to Silence
whenever I go higher than the 'The Trio and the Tree' -stage.
I'll almost always go into spirit stance before I cast any spells.

SLOT 1: Haste (always)
SLOT 2: Shadow Veil (always)
SLOT 3: Spirit Shield (sometimes)
SLOT 4: Regen II (always)
SLOT 5: Poison (always against Legendaries/Ultimates and sometimes against the worst monsters)
SLOT 5: Silence (always against Legendaries/Ultimates)
SLOT 6: Slow (sometimes and only against Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen 501st)
SLOT 7: Magnet (always against Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen 501st and sometimes against other evaders)
SLOT 8: Imperil (against Legendaries/Ultimates, the worst monsters and some hefty lone survivors)
SLOT 9: Ragnarok (sometimes against 10x monster mobs full of the worst ones)
SLOT 10: Banish (almost always against 10x monster mobs)


I also use (but not in the battle screen quickbar)
the following spells (all maxed out of course);

Heartseeker (always)
Spark of Life (almost always)
Absorb (always)
X-Nerf (only when I got channeling to spend in a mob of the worst monsters)
Soul Harvest (only when spark of life no longer works)
Protection (only when low on HP)
Cure I (only when very low on HP)
Cure II (only when extremely low on HP)
Lifestream (sometimes when against Legendaries/Ultimates)


I gambled on a hybrid melee/mage build and almost
all of my proficiencies are in the following;

Two-handed 248.64
Light armor 197.76

Divine 37.21
Forbidden 64.68
Spiritual 50.95
Deprecating 197.35
Supportive 233.87
Curative 180.75

Physical Attack
3671.9 base damage
137.7 % hit chance (without shards)
40.1 % crit chance <--- critical hits are sweet.

About critical hits (paraphrased from EHWiki):

Critical hits have the following properties:
1.) Player's attacks (physical & magical) do 1.5x damage.
2.) Cannot miss.
3.) Have a 100% chance to proc a weapon's or spell's innate procs.

Magical Attack
986.8 base damage
105.3 % hit chance (without shards)
7.1 % crit chance (without shards)
115 % mana cost (without shards)

Damage Mitigation
59.5 % physical
51 % magical

Avoidance
28.3 % evade (without shards)
0 % block
27.3 % parry
57.7 % resist

Damage Mitigations
Crushing 32.9 %
Slashing 21.1 %
Piercing 8.1 %
Fire 18.7 %
Cold 10.9 %
Elec 19.0 %
Wind 27.6 %
Holy 10.8 %
Dark None
Soul 14.9 %
Void None

Primary Attributes
Strength 504
Dexterity 426
Agility 445
Endurance 353
Intelligence 303
Wisdom 382

Auras
All auras are at rank 5 except the orange aura which is at rank 4
and the blue & indigo aura; both at rank 1 and not even activated.


Action speed 248.3 (If I'm right, haste makes this 372.45.
Then add the Swift Strike from the mace and we got some speed.)
Abilites; HEALTH/MAGIC/SPIRIT tanks all maxed out, 26 AP overcharge (152%?)


Eventually I'll post some more character statistics by the time I'm about
to go grinding so one can also see the effect of the shards I'm using.
I'll post them if anyone here gives a monkeys about it.


PLANS FOR THE FUTURE;
I need better magic accurancy and deprecating proficiency, yeah that's it.
I'm looking to replace my body equip and helmet equip with something better;
preferably with an exq/mag/leg 'shade of the arcanist' (with 4PABs or more).
If you've come across anything like it that you'd like to sell, plz notify me.
