Maging isn't the panacea for difficulty issues.

Yeah, you may be right. I don't even have good equipment for my warrior yet. All i can do for now is keep grinding so the mage will have to wait a bit longer. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Weak-ass reward, as expected. Congrats on finishing though.

Yes it was predictable, since on normal, the trio have a higher rate of dropping superior quality junk, unlike the rest of the challenges. (given my LoD level of course)

I'm pretty sure he was talking about my beating of the FSM on Battletoads...

You didn't get it. What I meant is, that we get exquisite occasionally on battletoads trio, because the arena bonus must have a higher quality multiplier, given what I see with normal Trio vs normal everything else quality drop rates. This post has been edited by cmdct: Sep 15 2010, 00:48

Normalfest - Round 2451 (IMG:[ i55.tinypic.com] http://i55.tinypic.com/2mxfic9.png) Broke 2000. I think that's the last time I'm going to bother doing that. Mind-numbingly boring. Also pointless. Hardfest or maybe even Heroicfest would be a better test. I brought some spirit stuff this time, but after getting to 2000 without using any I made a conscious decision to not bother. So I had half spirit going into that boss encounter. It seems like I could have kept going if I had had a full spirit bar as one more cast should have finished MBP. And god knows how much longer after that if I actually tried to use up all 8 spirit restoratives. Some notes: Mana is not an issue. I usually had enough Mystic gem drops to maintain Arcane Focus and Spark. Shadowveil on IA. On one dry spell (few mana gems/second winds + some spark of life recasts) I dropped to like 200 mana, but other than that one time, there was no danger of running out of mana. There's no point in doing anything but all out nuking Bosses after a certain point as even weakened, you'll get one-shot. Not sure if Blind would be good though. Depends on how the action speed/turns would work out and how good Blind is. I don't even know. Well, that was fun. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I've got a stupid question, does it even make sence to grind so many rounds? Do you get like 20 C each round, even after you crossed the 1000th round? Also (correct me if I am wrong but), there's not much exp to get there...

Nope, there is absolutely no reason to do it, except to be able to say you did it. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) It's not really even an accomplishment, since it's not exactly difficult. But I had no itemworlds left, and I was just watching TV anyway, so meh. And you get 1 C per round after like round 200 something. I mean it goes quite fast since like 90% of the rounds are 1 turn and the rest are 2 turns or less, so I get a lot of item drops, and that run netted me 40 pieces of equip and 6 artifacts. It's not exactly a waste of time, but it IS really boring.

I've finished Growing Storm and the first four bosses. Konata killed me with her special attack (1400 damage, my max HP is 1290). Bitch.
