QUOTE(Jonavrek @ Jan 10 2010, 13:38)  Bringing better Mana pots was the first thing I learned on my run to Endgame. Killzone was the first time I ever used a Godly, and Endgame my first Elixir use. The high Arena run saw my first use of Shadow Veil and Spark Of Life, too. Whew. I am glad this is over. Now, it's back to quietly grinding out EXP and drops in Item World for a few months, before making a run at Sealed Power and Destined at 150.

Longest Journey Cleared!
86 9 You gain 14299 Credits! 86 8 You gain 4371.58 EXP! 86 7 Your HP and MP have been fully restored! 86 6 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Godly Health Draught] 86 5 Manbearpig dropped [ManBearPig Tail] 86 4 You are Victorious!
Wasn't too bad, but I did need quite a few more mana restoratives that I usually use on Twisted Plots. Those triple-miniboss rounds are pretty mana intensive.
Once I clear the rest of my arenas for the day, I'm gonna go take on Invisible Pink Unicorn.

37 11 You gain 5025 Credits! 37 10 You gain 271.55 EXP! 37 9 Your HP and MP have been fully restored! 37 8 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Superior Health Potion] 37 7 You are Victorious! 37 6 The effect Penetrated Armor on Manthra has expired. 37 5 Manthra has been defeated. 37 4 Spreading Poison hits Manthra for 45 damage. 37 3 Manthra misses the attack against you. 37 2 Magic Missile hits Manthra for 151 piercing damage. 37 1 You cast Magic Missile.
Used 2 greater and 4 superior mana draughts, so at least I had two items to spare. Now to grind 10 more levels before I get another challenge...

To Kill a God Cleared.
124 11 You gain 40289 Credits! 124 10 You gain 18306.6 EXP! 124 9 Your HP and MP have been fully restored! 124 8 Arena Token Bonus! Received: [Token of Healing] 124 7 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Fine Ruby Buckler of Dampening] 124 6 Konata dropped [Lock of Blue Hair] 124 5 Manthra dropped [Greater Spirit Potion] 124 4 You are Victorious! 124 3 Regen II restores you with 11 points of health. 124 2 Konata has been defeated. 124 1 You hit Konata for 600 piercing damage.
Really easy, took 5 greater mana draught and a Scroll of the Gods, because i have tons of it. I'm pretty sure i could do it on hard, because i can already do Crusade on hard without mana elixirs.

Good god, vaelh. You are a leveling monster! Grats on your first non-RoB legendary kill! You got pretty lucky to run into Konata, rather than one of the others (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif).

I don't know if it's possible to have a physical immune legendary like Ryouko Asakura or Yuki Nagato. If it's the case, yes, it would have been another story.
Confirmed on my second clean :
327 13 You gain 2912 Credits! 327 12 You gain 25198.38 EXP! 327 11 Your HP and MP have been fully restored! 327 10 Arena Token Bonus! Received: [Token of Healing] 327 9 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Godly Health Potion] 327 8 Ryouko Asakura dropped [Hinamatsuri Doll] 327 7 You are Victorious! 327 6 Regen II restores you with 244 points of health. 327 5 Ryouko Asakura drops a Fire Gem powerup! 327 4 Ryouko Asakura has been defeated. 327 3 Spreading Poison hits Ryouko Asakura for 530 damage. 327 2 Ryouko Asakura hits you for 377 slashing damage. 327 1 You hit Ryouko Asakura for 1 piercing damage.
They do also spawn as a final legendary, increasing a lot the cost in mana to kill it, even with 1 infusion of gaia.

Apocalypse Soon Cleared! (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:[ i46.tinypic.com] http://i46.tinypic.com/5wkmkj.jpg) It's the first time since, well I don't known the date exactly, but it was in the time when I could clear all the arenas with full crude/fair plate (a long time ago indeed) (IMG:[ i50.tinypic.com] http://i50.tinypic.com/2hzu6qf.jpg) A image like that to me was really a challenge, but the funny thing is, this time cleared the arena in DW, and proved to better than my 1hs but I remained my usual set of armour (low evade, high burden/interference, and high physical/magical defence), I didn't expect that, but yeah the more the better (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) PS:I even only need 4 great mana draughts out of 8, so maybe I'm already ready for the next 2 (when I hit l90 of course)

DREAMFALL CLEAR! (IMG:[ i50.tinypic.com] http://i50.tinypic.com/4v6921.png) I forgot to set Haste on autocast, so I'm REALLY glad I brought along 6 Superior and 3 Godly Mana Draughts, and 2 Godly Health Draughts. That was LONG, with many, many minibosses. And the last round was nasty; those Godly Health Draughts really came in handy, as did 25% holy rating and Banish spam. And to top it off, I got almost a quarter of my level's EXP from just this one arena! Not bad for 25 minutes of work. I can't imagine how long it takes for folks to clear stuff like Sealed Power and up. QUOTE(cmdct @ Jan 15 2010, 15:07)  PS:I even only need 4 great mana draughts out of 8, so maybe I'm already ready for the next 2 (when I hit l90 of course) I, too, found that once I reached level 70, the new arena challenges started to be much more clearable than the previous ones. I think this is mostly due to Regen being a significantly better healing spell than Cure.

To be honest, clearing : - Endgame to Longest Journey on Nightmare - Dreamfall on Heroic - Exile to Crusade on Hard - To Kill a God on Normal .. takes me a little more than 50mn :x And this is because i'm not doing them in normal (to make a lot more xp), or it would take ~30mn. So no, the higher arenas are not longer at all, it all depend on your easiness to kill the semi bosses. On normal, i can clear a 9 monsters with 5 semi-boss round with only haste and regen up, i can simply spam attack without worrying for my hp (if i take out this nasty Mind Raper before everything else of course). Also, i got Ryouko Asakura again T_T. One infusion of gaia = 40% hp, so i'll bring 2 next time, or i will buy some more pack rats (currently 2/5).

Jesus Christ, hito.
Instead of making these arenas longer to the point of I'd-rather-gouge-my-eyes-out long, maybe Tenboro should throw in some twists or change mob contents or something else to increase the difficulty. I am not looking forward to those hundred-round long arenas.

Well, that's also partly because your ping to the server is significantly lower than mine. Even holding down a number key, I only get 2-3 turns per second, at low server load times. However, I'm curious. What gear are you using? Being able to just spam attack on 5-mini rounds with only regen and haste going is pretty awesome. QUOTE(hitokiri84 @ Jan 15 2010, 22:20)  The Twilight Cleared Grats Hito! Sucks that it's so boring. I wouldn't be surprised if those arenas are filled with "placeholder" rounds, though, since no one but you and Tens are really even close to being to attempt them. I bet Tenboro will make these "legendariy spam" arenas more interesting in a future update. Out of curiosity, how long does it take you to kill one of the legendaries with the style you used for Twilight and EoD? This post has been edited by coredumperror: Jan 16 2010, 09:34

That... seems mind numbingly boring. Congratulations though.
Tenb should cap the number of round for arenas and make them harder in different ways than shear tests of willpower to continue living through what must have been tens if not hundreds of thousands of mouse clicks. :/
