[X] My Assistant

You can probably stockpile some mana items from the arena given the right combination of skill level and battle selection. Just a few hundred credits a pop.

My new highest Grindfest is round 9 (thanks to 4 consecutive Second Winds), and I can average getting to about round 5 if I don't use items, and use my Spirit Attack when absolutely vital.

And if a Manthra doesn't show up.

That's quite the string of luck. My grindfest luck just sucks. Legendary monsters by round 3, boss level monsters round 1, etc.... the pain continues.

I think that applies only to the random battles because I'm pretty sure I've run into a few legendaries on easy in grindfest.

yup, and it was also on easy mode.
Maybe a wrong exit on the highway or somth. :3

Seems like everyone is encountering something pretty ridiculous in grindf**k early on. With these mutant peacocks and amphibious sperm whales, all battles are just becoming more difficult in general.

At the moment the arena challenges are too hard for me on normal but way too easy on easy.

Legendaries do show up in the grindfest on easy. It's not really a bug per se, but I'll probably change it. There's a fairly high chance of encountering one (1%), but that will probably be turned down as well.

And right now the peacock and whale have had their spirit power turned down to 0, so they're not harder than the other common monsters.

I actually started finding them alot more balanced with other monsters yesterday. I assumed you had already tweaked them or was I just unlucky after they were originally introduced

I can't believe this one. I hadn't made it past 7 before this.

So I recently beat road less travelled. I did it with only 5 item slots 510 hp, 76 mp and character attributes at 30-31. The items i took into battle with me were 2 godly health draught, 1 superior potion, 1 godly mana draught and 1 less mana potion. Got 1 second wind after the second round. I basically weakened the monsters and hacked them to death to preserve mp.

I got to like 6th round at most

I mostly die when I encounter 4 enemies cause I run out of mana and cant finish them melle fast enough [damn Firefox (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)]
My only strategy now is praying for second wind and ocasional use of curative items [I usually pack two curative and one mana]
Anyone noticed that today Curative Draughts effeciency was halved or its just me ?

In the Arena I now finished Sholstastic using one Godly Healing Potion and many Magic Missiles [I want Missile Storm (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)]

A big off topic [just tell me and I delete this part]

Should I learn Inferno ? [and for it do I need max of all preq ?] or there are other good spells on higher ranks so I should save few ability points for later
