Is there anyone who sells gold stars?

There are a few around, but i am not able to give you a name. So i suggest you either make an WTB, or check the WTS for someone who want to sell stars. Iirc there was at least one not long ago that did sell stars there, i dont remember who that was, but that should be easy to check.

Also when does lottery starts?

When you ask about the Yuletide Lottery, my guess would be around the same time it starts every year. And that was:
Dec 24 2018, 09:52
Dec 24 2017, 11:27
Dec 24 2016, 23:07
Dec 24 2015, 12:39
And if you now look close, you will notice a pattern. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

What is the minimum monster PL before they can get high grade materials? What about the rare upgrade materials (Crystallized Phazon, Shade Fragment, etc)? Thanks.

When you want HG Mats you have to bring them above 500. The lowest PL for phazon, shade and the others is PL 25 and a name.

How do you get even get 1mil+ crystals?

Going to assume you mean credits, not crystals, in line with the thread you opened.

There is a ton of information for new players in the beginning of this thread. It can be summed up as follows:

• Step 1: Don't blow your credits on things you don't need
• Step 2: Play actively and consistently. Daily arena clears alone make up a significant amount of income.
• Step 3: Trade with other players. There are lots of commodities a low level player doesn't need and can sell to high levels to pad their income. These include trophies, energy drinks (from shrining precursor artifacts), elixirs, high-grade cloth or wood, flower vases & bubble-gum, certain bindings (especially ones mages use).
• Step 4: Some low-level equipment may be valuable to other players. decondelite's WTB thread lists a lot of desirable items. Please read his rules & item lists carefully: this is essentially charity, and it takes considerable time to administrate his efforts.

But if you want to know about crystals specifically: the Crystarium hath perks & farming grindfest. One full PFUDOR grindfest, with Crstarium 5, is enough to get ~75k assorted crystals.

Play actively and consistently. Daily arena clears alone make up a significant amount of income.

Aka +200k credits per day on PFUDOR. Do that five times and you allready got 1M credits just from credit drops alone.

Hello,

I bought the Vigorous Vitality perk but I didn't see my total health point move.
Is it a bug?
regards,

What kind of items and of what quality should I expect from shrining Stocking Stuffers and Iron Heart? Is it worth more than current WTB market price (150k and 510k)?

on average, it is worth less than the WTB market price. Hovever, there is a CHANCE that you get a very valuable item, like a Peerless Hallowed Oak staff of Heimdall or a Legendary Radiant Phase Robe of Fenrir. Not a big chance though. So, you like to gamble, or to play it safe?

Yeah, but every shrinable item has a minimum quality. What is it for these?

They have a Tier, which you can see in Wiki. iirc, Stuffers afe Tier 7 , while Iron Hart should be Tier 8.

Then quality is related to Tier, but even with Tier 7 you're not guaranted a Legendary iirc.

With Tier 8, it's always (or almost always?) a Leg., however there are a lot of Leg. not worthy 500K, so it's still a gamble.

Rich players mostly buy Tiers 8 trophies to try to get the Staff they want, or because they have Snowflake perk to feed .... for most other players, shrining is not really a good choice.

The shrine value of those trophies are not particularly high - it's a terrible conversion for FoS reasons. Also, staffs would generally not be a good option for using up trophies like that.

The best option is cloth, for those high value trophies. It's definitely gambling on something good turning up by handing in a high volume of them. They're guaranteed magnificents.

take a safe 1M.

Thanks a lot for all the responses. I think I understood these mechanics better, though I'm still curious about exact probabilities of qualities depending on the tier. I wonder if they are on that huge chart with loot drop algorithm...

I'd like to go back to something else - crystals. When I feed a monster crystals, it gets more morale and levels the more crystals I use. So why should I not focus on specific attributes (e.g. str, dex, agi, en only)? Is the amount of morale per crystal or (fraction of) level per crystal constant or is it a diminishing return thing?

nobody said you should not, it's just that it doesn't matter whether you focus or not. there's a limit on how much each stats upgraded. Not by how high the stats is but how many times it's upgraded.
Hence, even if you focus just on one stats you could only upgrade them for limited times (25x for PAB and 50x for elemental resist as far as I remember). when you reach that number, you're bound to have to upgrade other stats eventually.
also try focusing on one if this is what the cost looks like on high level:

nobody going to stop you to only upgrade one stats, you'll just feel stupid by yourself for doing it.

And additional to what Fudo did allready wrote, i also want to point out, buying specific crystals like vigor, cost usually more as a when they are part of a crystal pack. CP cost around 21k, that would 12k crysals together with a price of 1.75 credits for a single crystal, but if you now would want to buy 1k of vigor usually those cost 3c per crystal, which makes it an even worse idea to concentrade on a single stat. You would also hardly see any difference in kill and wins if you would do that. Getting those is luck and nothing but luck, well okay, luck and a high PL aka +1500 would also help.

So... if it sums up to luck in the end, is the optimal choice having all giants for survivablity and leveling them up the cheapest way possible? So far I was going mostly for demons that can do pretty good damage, particularly to players wielding shade armor.
