Actually monsters reach maximum PL when you are near level 250, so at that point you'll have less trouble with monsters getting stronger with your level. However, their HP still increases post 0.85 patch. And it's not a linear increase, it's slightly accelerative.

Depending on quality of lololo's current equipment, suppose it's already close to the best his build can get, then his clear time will get slower in the future, as End of All Hope said.

There was a difficulty spike?

I want to know that too. When will I see those changes (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Until now my numbers keep getting better

My weapons can still eat another 180 BoSs

That's not because they can that they're fit for it.

25th reforge of my rapier. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

you already know what i think of that, don't you?

It's 26. According to wiki, training further will give benefit so small I won't feel it.
26.3% to 26.35% for ~120k, ugh...

that's the reasoning. how much should i train x?
answer is another question: till what point do i think x's benefits aren't worth its cost anymore?

I'm gonna stop using 1H for now, my few power pieces made me run out of scrap metal.

how comes? do you die so often? or do you purchase items with low conditions? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

1-2 misses don't seem that bad to me to deserve a reforge, I spent about 20-25 AS

aye.

I would reforge. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

you know, i was lucky enough to earn some perfect IWs with a relatively low amount of shards and unlucky enough to deplete my AS stocks - like pretty much everyone. i also saw people reforging IWs with Jug4, 4/4/1 and whatnot. personally i think that at a certain point the bragging right factor is bigger than the usefulness factor. and bragging rights tend to cost.
if you ask me, an IW like B4/F4/O1 is pretty solid for a 1Her - even that O1 can be useful at times. and pretty sure he earned that towards the end. keep in mind that (even if outcome is/could be the same) a bad potency at the end has a way higher cost than a bad potency at the start, so reforging it *should* be less appealing, in terms of both cost and ROI.

There was a difficulty spike? It always seemed progressively easier to me, it only was difficult in the jump to mage but that's obvious

it's possible. if mob power grows linearly but at a certain point you switch playstyle, then the spike is when you start to use an un-optimized build, i guess. to make up for it, you could drop the difficulty a bit for a while.
just an example.

That's not because they can that they're fit for it.

aye. and let's consider they are 21~22M, bindings only. and possibly another 2 of catalysts and metals.
personally i'd stop at lv50. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

25 reforges seems unlucky, what's the average number of reforges and shards to achieve but5/fat4 (or but4/fat5)?

1 reforge with 10 shards (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sure, I wouldn't throw 20m on those weapons, but it's clear that I can still improve more (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) On the other hand, at this rate, I think I'll reach level 400 in a year so I'll enjoy this for a long time...

That someone with the luck to get a rapier like me deserve no luck in IW? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Around 90% of those reforge was one when IW give me an swift strike or an overpower right at the beginning and i was not even close to B4/F4 the whole time. Also i have never notice that a monster did parry me and swift strike is even bad. So i cant see any reason why i should allow them to corrupt my beautifull rapier. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) I will get the IW outcome i want, even when it would need another 25 reforge, or even 100. I dont care. I want what i want. I will probably after that rapier never again really care about IW, so i dont see why i shouldnt go my way to the end.

would you consider this unlucky enough to get a reforge?

Nope.
The difference between that and a perfect IW is probably around 0.1% effectiveness.
I would keep the IW and enjoy the rapier.

no, ask to an IW service runner - provided you didn't soulfuse it yet, of course.

Yeah, sure. And pay 15M or something like that for something i could do myself but much, much cheaper? I dont think so. And of course i didnt soulfuse it yes. Like i allready told somewhere around here, i guess it was in the poor players club, it is not soulfused so i can sent the rapier with the necessay shards to someone who has the "you need less amnesia shards" perk.

Yeah, sure. And pay 15M or something like that for something i could do myself but much, much cheaper?

for a 1H weapon? nah, i paid 300k for an 8-good-potencies, iirc. including a few reforges. i guess 1M for a perfect one should be enough - and even saving a bit.
just check their previous IW logs to have an opinion.

i guess it was in the poor players club

ah, here's the trick! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

I paid over 1M just for Jug5 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The luck (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Uncle Stu, are you going for but5/fat4, or but4/fat5, or either is fine to you?

how comes? do you die so often? or do you purchase items with low conditions?

All my dropped power started out in crap 50% condition and I had to buy scraps and energy cells to fix them.

I've never died since level 160 except for the day I went naked, and that one time Mikuru Asahina killed me. I was wearing full legendary plate at the time but my supply of scraps has been low since then.

Because I've only been playing on pfudor, there's few averages to scrounge scraps. With full plate I found that I was barely maintaining the supply. With some power thrown in, the supply drains. This can be fixed by playing a little on normal difficulty. Or switching to DW temporarily to use my leather.

My DW rapier/wakizashi at the moment is disappointingly weak even though I have much better equipment than when I last used it at level 245. My proficiencies are rusty, but that's only part of the reason. Maybe I should go buy a new club, that's what I was using for DW before. I'm guessing they are dirt cheap.

But5/fat4 is the goal. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

i said for a 1H weapon. Jug5 is a whole different case.

All my dropped power started out in crap 50% condition and I had to buy scraps and energy cells to fix them.

uh, ok. should still be only one-of-a-kind though

uh, ok, good.

can i see them? even though i guess Leather is part of the reason as well - i mean, with Shade it would be surely better.

Maybe I should go buy a new club, that's what I was using for DW before. I'm guessing they are dirt cheap.

once again, it depends on what you want. i'm pretty sure that i may call lucky if i was able to sell this one for 2 hath/10k, but probably this other one could still fetch a bit on a shop. just a couple of examples. surely way cheaper than rapiers though.

Someday I`ll regret. Goodbye.

No replacement. Not planning to play 1H anymore. After switching to mage its not necessary.

You'll regret then (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
