[X] My Assistant

feels like its pointless to go to the shrine with the trophy, its better if i just sell it for credits, have exchanged like 10 trophies so far and its all been shit..

Just exchange it for a staff, chances are it will sell for more the 1k.

Just got to round 13 on cakefest...and you might ask why that's good. I did it without using pots with a staff, no ether theft, and only casting shield and cure...and I did it faster than with 1h and shield...It was actually rather funny, I beat them to death with a stick...which makes me believe that if I had a good ether theft one...

What do bubble gum and the flower vase do again I've used them before but I forget, someone should really make a note on the item part of wiki on them.

Longest journey Cleared

Arena Clear Bonus Mana Elixir

Had to start using Average items and not just Lesser, but I beat Fresh Meat.

I think I'll leave Dark Skies alone for a while unless I want to start burning lots of items.

Just hit round 68 of cakefest without using any pots....and in doing so proved a point to myself...with a good enough staff with a high proc chance and duration of ether theft you can cakefest forever :X I stretched out 13 rounds to almost 70 with just a 15% chance of ether theft for 1 round (2 ticks)....That said, it was using the method referred to here.

You have exceeded the number of Grindfests you can start in one day.

98/6722 exp until I reach the next level too. >_>


That will teach me not to run whenever a mini-boss shows up.

This is how i roll.

67 staff proficiency, 23% 2 turn ether theft. No items, no offensive spells, cure and shield only. Round 805, final destination.

Stickadin forever.

Well, if by lvl 100 I got a nice staff and if I could grind out on normal, I would like to see how a Soul Harvest build would work, seeing as it's an aoe that procs hp return on your next melee hit. That mixed with ether theft and coalesced mana sounds like it would be pretty interesting once you get a high enough proficiency, and if it works well enough would be better than just whacking them with a cane....and a hell of a lot faster to boot :X

Can anyone higher level that has actually tried that give any feedback as to how well that would work?

huh, didn't know there was an hp return proc.

sadly there's no real way for me to train, forbidden i would assume? until i actually get the spell. that sounds like tremendous fun tho, i guess i'll start picking my int back up to around where my other stats are.

ah well, least i can keep my stick proficiency high fer coalesced mana.

I'm sure this sort of grinding will get nerfed at some point, but for the time being:

(IMG:[i3.photobucket.com] http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y74/Xylon_Lionheart/Round47.jpg)

I used only one item early because I was a moron and did not expect to do so well. That being said, a mage build is FUCKING AWESOME, and this is with very low proficiencies.

I don't think that will be nerfed at all. Getting to round 47 isn't anything like getting to round 300. Or 1500. That being said, it shouldn't be that hard given a staff with a high ether theft chance and a high forbidden bonus, that way you kill and earn hp/mp at the same time. 2nd winds become less necessary.

Even with 1 piece of heavy armor and 4 pieces of cloth I can get to round 100 on cake without much difficulty using only lesser items. If I were to use godly I'm sure I could go much further.

edit:

Twisted Plots: I'm sorry, but REALLY!? . Crude equipment? Come on. Tenb. This is bullshit. It costs me 8-10 godly mana draughts and 2 shield scrolls to beat this thing, it takes up 15-20 minutes, and I'm getting crude equipment :\

Rofl, I just got to round 100 and quit. I still had all my mana and hadn't used a single item...

It's not really broken, though, since I only got 1 level through all that.

I'm on round 61 with full HP+MP, and about 1/2 SP (used before starting the grindfest). I'm using a staff with 22% chance of ether theft for 2 turns. With careful rationing of shield and regen (essentially the only two spells I'm using - I do occasionally throw out a meteor when I get too bored) I don't think I'll ever run out. Also consider that I started out with 9/363 SP and I'm now at 191, so a bunch of my 2nd winds have been for SP (and one stupid 2nd wind for 1MP). I do run into some patches of mini-bosses, one after another after another (it's usually 3-4 rounds of mini-bosses), and that can cause a tiny extra drain - but I have to hit them so many times I usually drain it back anyway (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I think this could outlast my battery if I'm not careful >_>
