I'm sorry but doing some looking around I couldn't find out what PFFEST is, could you please enlighten me?

Grindfest on PFUDOR difficulty.

Grindfest on PFUDOR difficulty.

Ah thanks, I've not seen any incentive to play grindfest. It doesn't have a good xp multiplier, nor any good credit awards. But I guess I'll try my shot at it.

It has increased crystal drops, which is the primary incentive for doing it. Definitely do try it! You might find those last couple hundred rounds are a little punishing. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Well, imo there are only two reason to play a PFest. First you like the challenge, because a PFest is the hardest you could do in this game atm, and second for the crystals, but for that you need of course some Crystatrium perks and some scavenger training, otherwhise you shouldnt even start it for the crystals.

Useful for extra tokens farming too.

PFest can kill a 1H even with more than 80% PM/MM, nearly 70% block and above 70% Parry. Just saying. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

just use a SoL, it's not rocket science. you got to be asleep or too drunk to be dying on pffest on slightly decent 1h build.

it's a nice fire and forget battle mode if you're in for some lengthy grind.
it cost 1 extra stamina for 1000 round, but at least you won't have to do re-entry (and fight 5-10 round against <5 enemies/round ) every 100 or so like on IW.

No, PFFEST is hard as hell at Lvl350. I couldn't survive it back then, even as 1H, though I didn't have a high level of forging like I have today.

Only Hell? So it's easy then right? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Pfest is pretty hard for middle level player like me，to clear it you need build a onehand set with defensive purpose，my forged set gives me 22~23k turns to end it and its stable，easily handle with 700 rounds but after 800 its need be use scrolls to cover the damage

question about mage adjusting primary stats

Mage Stats
(Does not include stats from equipment).

is this means it's only needs to adjusting the pure stats with the guideline and ignore the blue and red stats from equipments and artifacts ?

I would say yes.

I don't know if this is the place to ask this question, but I would like to know, if someone could sell me an exquisite grade Katana that goes between level 281 to 291.

I need it more than anything to continue testing the Niten Ichiryuu fighting style, because the katana I have now is already too many levels below mine.

Well, that is a very specific piece of equipment you want there and i would guess chances would be higher if you make a WTB for this.

Do any other suffixes than Slaughter for Melee weapons have any value?

My perception is that Balance and Nimble might have value with DW and similar builds, and Battlecaster I guess it's good for 1H spell casters, but what about Vampire/Illithid/Banshee and Swiftness?

It's getting a weapon of those characteristics a perfect candidate for Bazaar/Salvage?


As for staves, which ones are most desirable? Hallowed Oak of Heimdall seems to be quite desirable and from the looks of it, everyone and their mother wants an <Element> Red Wood of Destruction; while Ethereals don't seem to be so desirable, as they don't give EDB from prefix.


Also, what builds are viable, more or less, depending on weapon/style? Apart from what Wiki says, obviously. Or rather, if possible with more specifics or variants.


Knowing what people want might help to determine whether a weapon goes straight for the bazaar or for the auctions/shops.

That is right.

and Battlecaster I guess it's good for 1H spell casters,

That is also right.

but what about Vampire/Illithid/Banshee and Swiftness?

Imo all nothing but bazaarfooder.

Bazaar. I would only salvage such weapons, if average or below for the scraps, or if you did spend any materials in such a weapon.

Yeah, if you actually drop one this means usually payday and a Peerl one is jackpot. Those rich holy mages would even spend the mother of their pet for one of those. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Not so desirable? That is quite the understadement. ehtereal staffs are useless. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

auctions/shops.

Vampire might be a good idea for 2H IMHO, even though it will sacrifice a large part of the ADB.
Swiftness can be considered for a wakizashi to reach ultimate speed as Niten/DW.

Quick additions to Uncle's post above: for DW balance rapiers & nimble wakis can be useful (for club/rapier pure offense build, and for rapier/waki defensive build). Swiftness waki is useful for niten but I'm not sure if it's better than nimble - probably not, even without the offhand parry boost. As decondelite says swiftness could be used for DW too. A mainhand weapon is basically always going to be slaughter, though.

For staffs: besides the ones you mentioned, specifically Shocking / Tempestuous / Demonic Willow of Destruction (it has counter-resist unlike redwood, but it only has elec/wind/dark native to the type without a prefix, so fire/cold are almost always going to prefer redwood for raw damage). Hallowed/Demonic Katalox of Destruction is also viable, it just doesn't have counter-resist. If you're wondering, about HOH - oak rolls counter-resist and good holy damage natively, and it can't roll destruction suffix.

All fighting styles are viable to some extent, but all non-mage builds suffer heavily in clear speed, 1H at least gets significant survivability to compensate for this (and DW can also do so with the right weapons & heavy forging). 2H and Niten are playing this game on hardmode, but there do exist ways to compensate for this (high attack speed & playing Fus-Ro-Dah, or mace 2H). Mages can also use a nimble wakizashi of their corresponding element & a buckler of the barrier instead of a staff, for a survivability boost at the cost of a significant amount of proficiency and damage.

Hey Uncle stu, is there any specific reason why energy drinks are being devalued, which I haven't heard about? Because seeing the sale and purchase prices, the truth is that I prefer to keep the ones I have now and use them in the future, now it is a little more productive to sell percusor artifacts, since their price seems to increase.

Only a Self-fulfilling prophecy because people completly ignore that of course after the easter event are more ED on the market because of the Easter artifacts, and less demand because of the same Easter artifacts, except that? Nope there isnt. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)
