Also worth noting 1H's counterattacks are actually pretty good. 2H clear speeds should be faster but sooner or later you'll find the gear required for surviving is a lot harder to find than an easily built defensive 1H set

Holy hell, is the IW drop rate for the button lower than arenas? I've done 5 PFIWs on legendaries and got 3 buttons in total...

Edit: Apparently all I had to do was to complain - got 2 on the 7th run including the button I needed XD

I just hope they drop more evenly.




I'm wondering which of the following is more profitable:

(assume unlimited ED, time, equipment)

PFUDOR IW - 100 rounds / 8.5-9.5min

PFUDOR GrindFest 1000 rounds / 100-105min


with 90% on all drop trainings, token II, Crys III


Currently, I just switch between the two but preferring IW.

I'm wondering which of the following is more profitable:

Well, in the end you get much more crystals out of the fest, but the IW does allow you do you to do two more RE and when we take an overall time of 9 minutes each, you are around 10 minutes faster. But still, in the end Fest gives you overall more. Even when it is just crystals.

GF:
+bonus crystals
+5000c at the end (derp, thanks uncle)
-1 stam to start
-harder to finish all your REs (can try to keep track of the round around when it's 25-30 minutes before it ends, and "save" the encounter there with hv utils or such for double RE; still need to be on very often to finish all 24 RE

IT:
+iw pxp (perhaps can "sell" as an IW shop; not sure how much c/pxp is for the cutoff point)

from personal experience grinding multiple 2hr GF sessions is really tiring though. I'm not spamming pffests anymore outside of special drop events (i.e. current easter)

+1000c at the end

And with +1000c you mean of course 5k right?

Okay, so more PFFEST, thanks for answering!

Agree, so I probably should do more right now as this is the most profitable time of the year I guess?

IW shop is getting saturated it seems, I just IW all of my different collections (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

How many crystarium levels are needed to net a consistent profit taking into account the 200k energy drink cost? Is 4 enough?

Also, I think melee gf grinding is just too hard to do...If you want to grind gf, I think it's better to have a mage build that can handle it sub 1hr lol...otherwise too much strain (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

I thought 3 is enough, of course the more the better (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Melee GF is quite rewarding, it gives eyesore, wrist pain, and headache, and in addition, it drains your excessive energy of the day.

It would also depend on your drop trainings / consumable usage.

For me personally (with maxed all 4 drop trainings), just the average # of PAs + credits drop were able to go over 200k. (sample size of 26)

However, the # of drops from PAs vary a lot, and even with a sample size of 26 I'm not sure how precise it is. The largest portion of the revenue comes from PAs as well (for me with Crys V). If anyone else can record all their data from PFFESTs (even if it's just PA drops), regardless of whether it seems to be "a lot higher or lower than usual (other than obvious errors like going below 10 stam)", it would be much appreciated. Drop training data would be nice to record as well but may be difficult to see its effects.

Is there a way to see old auction please?

Like [Auction] Kedama's Auction #99.

Currently Kedama's Auction #128 is visible in the top of the WTS.

But I want to see old auctions, please.

Change "from 30 days" to "show all" on the bottom of the page and you should be able to flip back the pages and find them

Thank you so much.

Recently returned to the game and have a couple of questions.

First is a short one, does stats on item scale up when I soulbind it. (ex: I soulbind lvl.150 staff on lvl 200 character, will it have stats of a lvl 200 item?).

Second, some people say mage is for lategame and it's better to play something else. But I started as a mage several years ago and it is not doing so bad. I clear rooms in 1-2 spells which makes it very fast. Tried 2H and it was not any stronger. Maybe melee characters can clear higher difficulty than me? Did not put too much effort in testing. I do everything on hell difficulty as mage right now. Burned a few xmas trophies, so my gear is full magnificent without any upgrades/potency.

Third is a bit more complex. After playing for some time I noticed 20 stamina on hell is enough to farm like 100k credits daily. So getting big training or percs is completely out of the question. But I see big players operating like hundreds of millions which makes me think I miss something or doing wrong. I can see different reasons for that. The most obvious one, maybe high level + max difficulty gives you this much more resources. Other reason, maybe some players get a lot of passive income from events/dontation percs/awards. And the last one, maybe most of it is from GP for uploading galleries or hath for using H@H. So I just want to clarify what influence those things have on the income and if I can be more efficient in some way. It does not really matter if I have 100k/day or 5mil, but I really hate the idea that I miss something obvious and not playing efficiently.

Thank you.

Welcome back!

1. Yes, one of the reasons for soulbinding, and it will continuously scale with you. (Note: it's advised not to soulfuse anything below magnificent, it's waste of fragments)

2. It's probably because you are on hell difficulty right now. Eventually you want to take it higher up to PFUDOR, and mages can't survive without proper gears. And more importantly, the absolute minimum level for mage at pfudor is at level 310 when the imperil cooltime disappears.

Most recommended playstyle around your level is 1H Heavy (Rapier, Force Shield, Power Armors). Other styles work as well, but 1H Heavy is the most popular and easy to setup due to its popularity.

3. You're not missing out much. With sufficient drop trainings, i.e. everything to 50% max level, you'll net roughly 300k credits when you sell your loot items by completing your daily arenas and FSM Ring of Blood on PFUDOR. What's funny is once you're able to do these arenas on PFUDOR difficulty, levelling doesn't mean much in terms of credits and items drop. So it's not like high level players earn more than low level players if they do same amount of playing.

But that's still quite far away from crazy rich guys, of course. They either 1) played for a long long time so they have credits accumulated 2) they run multiple hentai@home clients.
Events are good too, but they don't worth hundreds of millions.

I see, thank you for help.

Interesting, I thought that these [alt.hentaiverse.org] two [alt.hentaiverse.org] pieces would give me 1.0 proficiency, with one peerless and the other Divine Prof at 99% but it's only giving me 0.925 Proficiency Factor.

Is there a reason for this?

Er, it also depends on your staff and your base proficiency, you know? What's the divine proficiency on your character stat page?

Those two add up to 283, so assuming you have the prof perk, (your base stat)*1.1 and your staff prof need to add up to 710.

Right now I guess they only add up to 670.

EDIT: If you are using the staff on your signature, it's got 128, so your base prof is like 496, which is very low. I recommend you train your assimilator to at least 10, the more the better.

Currently at 493.796

So yes at 670.

Never actually trained assimilator passed 3, didn't know it would affect proficiency that way.

Yea, that's very low. You want it to be at least 530 to get to 1.0
