[X] My Assistant

This was disappointing. My spirit, with 186% overcharge, and about 25 sp tanks, AND with penetrated armor active, only did 12099 soul damage to a Mithra on normal (endgame) out of 17820. ~66% of it's health :\

This just added to my disappointment: Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Infusion of Lightning]

Ring of Blood 1: Manbearpig on Normal.

So I FINALLY found a token of blood. Fucking finally.

I'm actually a bit disappointed. I feel I could've done this on hard without too much difficulty. I DID get a nasty surprise when it used global warming on me and only used 1/4 of it's SP - that was a little tidbit the higher ups failed to mention (thankfully I had used spark of life two turns before). Other than that, 1 shield scroll and 1 godly mana draught, that for all intents and purposes could've been an average mana draught, were the only items I used. I am, however, a lot more confident now about trying out Endgame, although also a bit worried about weapon choice. I switched out my normal rapier - 22% chance PA for 1 turn, with a generally worse one that had 13% chance PA for 4 turns. I think that was very nice against the boss, but less useful against most mobs since they usually take 1-2 hits to kill anyway. My extra 6 godly mana draughts and 2 godly spirit draughts were untouched... and my overcharge didn't even fill all the way until literally 75% through the battle. Just felt like sharing this for those who haven't fought bosses before.

tl;dr: Bosses don't need full spirit bar to blast your ass into oblivion. Penetrated armor proc rocks.

Ya I think the 1st tier legendaries are pretty cake 1v1 after you hit 100, I tried my first one ring at 90 I think and found it slightly challenging, recently I've finally gotten a couple more tokens and did the ring again to try the other guys and found them really easy since I had beaten endgame which is legendary + minibosses + regular guys, I even tried manbearpig on hard last night only had to use an average mana draught to beat it, now if I could only get 2 token of bloods to drop from cakefest I'd try Konata.

Pretty upset with the average mana potion though >_>

Cleared Endgame and Twisted Plots, maybe I'll go further if I find the time... spending an hour a day in Arenas is too much time lost.

While trying to create a sample Arena table for Endgame, the Wiki shows only 19 rounds. It's missing a round somewhere.

EDIT:

I created a sample Arena table for Eve of Death.
I used my userpage as a place to edit.

Looks pretty good to me.

I would prefer vertical format with number of two-column tables (Round (mobs total) - Mobs breakdown) situated next to each other, but this one also looks good.

I cleared Longest Journey, with not much trouble, and one Mana Elixir left unused.

Then I tried Dreamfall.

The difficulty rises really sharply, and I had to start using AoE spells long before I had to use them in Longest Journey.

Well, at least I got to the last round and could wave to Bunneh for a turn:

Was Aww a normal magic attack, or a spirit attack?

So what type of build are you? I haven't tried longest journey yet, will probably give it a go today.

spending an hour a day in Arenas is too much time lost.

It takes me about 45 minutes to do Eve of Death by itself, so you might as well get used to the extra time needed to complete the challenges unless you want your leveling rate to slow to a crawl.

Practically still full hp/mp with no items used, but I think even the computer got bored of doing this.

God mother fucking hell.

Twisted Plots Cleared

Arena Clear Bonus: Godly Health Potion. FUCKING DIE!

That required 2 scrolls of shielding and 8 godly mana draughts. It probably would've taken 1 less if I'd used my spirit attack instead of bashing the mithra to death. I REALLY want a rapier with 22% chance of 4turns penetrated armor. I have one with 22% chance 1 turn, and one with 12% chance 4 turns (less attack bonus, higher accuracy). Having four turns in a row is a godsend against bosses, but the lower chance and lower attack bonus makes it more annoying against regular mobs.

ouch, arena bonuses seem to make people rage reasonably often.

i've been using a 19% 3 turn bronze rapier of the battlecaster since the dawn of equipment. i like permuch everything about it except for its sucktastic +dmg and +stats, seeing as its a level like 17 weapon. heres hoping for a way to upgrade weapon level sometime in the future.

went my third highest grind today, mid 300s cake.

At the same time a daily leveling probably wasnt considered to be a standard either. I like reminiscing about back when it took a month and a half to go up a single level (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

God mother fucking hell.

That sword I got has fantastic stats too (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I expect this though as except for a good dagger for my box the shrine has given me nothing but utter shit. Kind of evens things out

got to round 100 on cake today with some lucky second winds
normal only around 12-14 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Only got to round 41...but then that's with mostly crude/lesser mana pots/draughts and some lucky second winds as well. At least I can say I was only wearing one heavy piece of armor and the rest was cloth, as melee :X Shame it was cake though, seeing as I'd be lucky to get to round 7 of normal with those same items (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Mage, thanks to that superior Ether Theft staff. Rest of the equipment are also superior or exquisite items around my level. I just ran out of mana - but it's possible I wasn't choosing the most economical course, as I was bored with all those rounds.

I've been through that with World of Warcraft, which I stopped playing in April after 3 years, so I'm not keen to repeat the experience (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I think I'll let the levelling rate drop. I should really stop it altogether, but it's nice to kill something every hour or two (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Uploading old doujins instead seems more productive.

I noticed someone dropped 60 Tokens of Blood into the shop, bought some, killed all lesser legendaries, and Konata. Once each, for the clear bonus, of course. All, including Konata, required only Silence, Weaken, Poison and Regen - but with Konata it took 500 rounds. I'll clear rest of the Legendaries when I need some credits, tokens ready...

in grindfest,until round 2 only
