QUOTE(DemonEyesBob @ Oct 13 2009, 23:27)  I beat dreamfall. Yay. Only 18,000C instead of 45,000C, but oh well. Also, no good item reward.
Also, Endgame hard: Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Godly Health Potion] What. The. Fuck.
Thought u beat dreamfall weeks ago, or my memory is failing me.

My bad. I meant exile. QUOTE(marcho @ Oct 13 2009, 17:39)  I've found about 60% less equipment since the .8 patch, both in grinds and arenas, despite having higher scavenger and qm now. `\(o_O)/`
It would be nice if the quality cap on restorative items had elixers re-enabled for arena bonuses. A standard restorative item, and lets face it, most of the time the arena bonus will be a restorative item, is really kinda depressing to get after completing a difficult, high risk arena.
Twisted Plots: Hard. 102 14 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Greater Health Draught] 102 13 Manbearpig dropped [ManBearPig Tail] 102 12 Mantitcore dropped [Average Mana Draught] 102 11 Rabid Hamster dropped [Average Health Draught] Come. On. This needs to be changed, that's my only real complaint about this update. About to attempt Longest Journey on Hard. IF I win this, and I get crap, I'm going to be sad.

You changed your equipment or what seems you are doing arenas on higher difficulty then before .7. Also what items did you use to clear exile?
Nowadays i barely beat dreamfall on normal, and endgame on hard is extremely hard for me.

D: that's a pretty pathetic clear bonus. Congrats anyways, and good to know battletoads isn't all that bad.
I'd try it but I moved abunch of ap to exp boost in a (slow, no stars or hath auras baww) mad dash for lvl 100. Once I hit 100 I can get my overcharge boost back and I'll give it a go.

Longest Journey - Hard:132 6 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Fair Emerald Axe] 132 5 Dalek dropped [Dalek Voicebox] 132 4 Zombie Cow dropped [Greater Health Potion] Come fucking on!!!! It couldn't even be fine? Or superior? Or maybe finally give me a fucking magnificent ethereal weapon since I still don't have any mag or eth equipment. I even got spirited during that battle. Stupid Dalek. QUOTE(Eutopia @ Oct 13 2009, 17:46)  You changed your equipment or what seems you are doing arenas on higher difficulty then before .7. Also what items did you use to clear exile?

I noticed you've been having a lot of trouble and I'm simply not o_O I don't think I've really switched anything. Or not anything that would make a noticeable difference (changed cloth stuff around, but overall effect is likely the same). On the other hand, I have an offhand dagger with 16parry (which gets the +50% boost), and with my mainhand a Ruby Rapier 18% 3 turns, my parry is 38%. I use two cloth pieces and 3 heavy. One of the cloth has 8 evade, but what it replaced had much better defense, so it's a trade off. The change in cure and regen made a huge difference - I can get much much further now. Earlier today I reset my ability trees and I'm still not sure if I'm going to get the holy ratings again. I tested it and my cure dropped 15%, averaging about 150 less than with the ratings, but the extra points were put into overcharge boost and mp tanks for now. I've kept my STR, END, and DEX a ways above everything else, with AGI slightly behind and INT and WIS way behind. I think my proficiencies are helping a lot too, since I almost capped heavy and cloth is just slightly behind, which means heavy isn't quite so debilitating and cloth is a bit more useful than normal. Dreamfall is much harder than longest journey, there's simply a huge jump there and there is no way I'm attempting that on hard. For Exile I took 9 godly mana draughts, 2 mana elixirs, and 1 health elixir. I think I could've done it without the elixirs if I'd replaced them with godlies, I don't quite remember. Sidenote: the gloves have 3 evade, the robes have 8. The rest comes from auras, the new title bonus, and I guess AGI or whatever gives you an evade bonus.

Oh well i got higher mitigation and absorption on physical and magical also a bit higher phys damage, definitely the evade and parry that makes it more easier for you then me. Gonna try out a few new combinations with cloth tomorrow.

Doesn't surprise me. I parried Om Nom Nom the other day, which saved my ass, considering it's a boss spirit attack. Remember that only around 11 of that evade comes from the cloth. I get 6 from my AGI (I think), and I get 2 from the Title. I also get about 6 parry because of my DEX. Mainhand has 5.4 parry, offhand has 16.5. Offhand gets dual wield bonus and becomes 16.5*1.5 = 24.75. So my parry from weapons is 30.15. Also, those heavy armors have some nice mitigations. I currently have 20% crushing, 30% slashing, and 20% piercing. Also, I just beat dreamfall, and got a godly potion. Fuck me. EDIT: I just beat exile and got a godly potion. This has to stop. I didn't even get a token of any sort. This post has been edited by DemonEyesBob: Oct 14 2009, 01:58

Just achieved my highest level for a grindfest on normal, level 25. On cake I've managed to get up to level 60 yesterday, but it was starting to get too tedious for me so I quit, but I probably could have handled another 20-30 rounds.

Just cleared Endgame for the first time since the updates that nerfed Regen and mit. Took 5 Godly Mana, 2 Health, and 1 Spirit Draughts, as well as a Mana Elixir. I think I'll get the tenth item slot before attempting Twisted Plots for the first time.

How'd you manage that? Every time I've beaten that arena, I've ended up using all of my Godly Draughts, and I have more item slots than you.

Full plate, Bleeder shortie and a Prism Kite. Keep the Boss Silenced, kill the minions, cast Cure/CureII/Regen/Shield/Spark/Absorb as needed.

Hmm. I'm using 1 plate 4 cloth (2 phase) and a 2h ethereal PA estoc. Before going into the last round a use a scroll of shielding, and then move on to the final. I then cast a festival of deprecating magic. After everything is sufficiently unable to do damage, I just go about the killing. I only have had to use 1 potion on the last round itself. If enough enemies are afflicted by PA at once I'll use soul harvest.
My interference is 16 and my burden is 20.
edit: lets see of face raped I get by real life.

I start running out of MP about 3/4 of the way in from keeping Shield up and casting Regen/Cure once the mini-bosses start showing up. I pretty much use all of my items during that last round -- I stack Regen with Health Draughts, cast Cure II when my HP falls below a certain point and Cure otherwise, and Spark isn't cheap, either.
