How does one categorize how good an item is, in %, 100% is the highest, but I've seen items with -30% or items with 0% and is is a magnificent item that's worth more than legends on the auctions.
I want to bid on some of the items at the auction but the prices make me want to think if they are worth it or not.
For example, what makes an HA power armor worth buying.

the % is where the base stat compared to (usually) legendary range, so magnificent might have number below 0% (i.e legendary range at 15-20, magnificent range at 10-17, mag with base 10-15 will show negative number there.) there is also some case when legendary have less than 0% range, it's because the equip is below the known range of legendary (basically somebody have worse luck than what ever recorded) Magnificent could sold for more than legendary due to prefix/sufix. i.e mag power slaughter might sell better than leg balance or plate shielding if people aim for it's ADB. in this case the % ADB on slaughter might show lower number but in reality it have higher base since slaughter have bonus on ADB stats. these two equipment for example. Mag slaughter [ alt.hentaiverse.org] http://alt.hentaiverse.org/equip/228021882/c7440c2c4a -31% ADB% 22.6 base ADB 699.19 actual ADB Leg warding [ alt.hentaiverse.org] http://alt.hentaiverse.org/equip/222821475/8787737c20 96% ADB% 19.61 base ADB 603.38 actual ADB

Afaik as long as you still have candy in your inventory this is even the only possibility to use ED.

only in battle, I think. That is, I never managed to use ED outside of battle when I had candies. To use it in battle, you have to slot it in one of your battle item slots.

Yes, and that's what I always do myself. I only use the candies only if I need only that one extra 5 stamina. I wish we could trade those candies though.

For a full list with chances, check this link: https://ehwiki.org/wiki/ShrineFor a summary, PA's which are dropped from monsters give a chance at getting items such as energy drinks, crystals, last elixirs, currency like hath, or a PAB. Trophies, which are gained from boss kills (guaranteed in ROB's, last round arenas, RE's, and 10% (I think) on bossed in middle rounds of an arena, give you equipment. At your level, you'll likely make more money selling these trophies, as the chance of dropping anything good is ridiculously low. This post has been edited by Ubershank: Mar 23 2020, 17:48

May I have some suggestion about how to pass next stage and strengthen my character further? I'm playing one-handed style, lv.237 with (weapon: club or rapier, depend on which is better now. rapier sometimes made me more unstable)(Heavy armor, superior to exquisite)(exquisite kite shield) the difficulty that I can go through random battle more stable now is NINTENDO. Tried other styles, and the result were as the same as many guideline said, pretty bad. I stuck at lv.200 arena @NINTENDO for a few weeks, be defeated many times as mobs used multiple SP/MP attacks in a short time interval.(1000~3000+ for physical, 2000+~7000+ for magical per shot (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) ) Then I tried upgrade shield, some IW battles but failed. seems that the effect is limited. Shall I lower the difficulty and grind the equipment drop more or there are something else I can do now? This post has been edited by x151901: Mar 24 2020, 06:06

Yeah, I knew I could use an Energy Drink in battle, just wanted to check to see if I would get the +20 for having LGBD. Looks like I do, I just tried it.

Is a mage build playable without spamming imperil?
How long would it take a decently strong mage to clear DwD, ON NORMAL, without imperil? A general estimate would be fantastic.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks - appreciate the feedback Uncle Stu and DJNoni!! Your advice makes things much clearer, and I'll focus on forging. Also, Monsterbation is pretty cool - didn't realize what I was missing (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE(DJNoni @ Mar 22 2020, 12:35) 
2. No dude, dampening is not worth it. Only stat you should worry about is block. So use that Warding shield, please. Next thing to look at, but far less important, is 'SDE'. Both your shields are SDE. And good strength as well! Hard choice between those 2 shields... Maybe the protection is better, because of the high DEX. So. Choose one and sell the other. But don't buy yet another shield.
Oh, I see that those gears are your planned gears... yeah you are going to need a lot of soul shards.
Hmm, in that case - thoughts about these other 2 Force Shields? One is dampening, 94% block, but SEA. Other is protection, 84% block, but DEA. To clarify, the previous 2 force shields were protection/warding, 70-73% block, SDE. https://hentaiverse.org/equip/187616624/7c4116b8f3https://hentaiverse.org/equip/178502251/5ca2cdbbf2Yeah, I've been doing REs for quite awhile now, so I'm good in that department! I've only gained like 15 levels in the past 6-7 months... This post has been edited by erojh jioj: Mar 24 2020, 04:19

Well of course you can. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) QUOTE(x151901 @ Mar 24 2020, 00:38)  I'm play one-handed style, lv.237 with (weapon: club or rapier, depend on which is better now. rapier sometimes made me more unstable)(Heavy armor, superior to exquisite)(exquisite kite shield)
When you have to decide between rapier and club, you should use raper, Penetrated Armor is more usefull as another source of Stun the monster. What will increase your damage output and by that your clear speed. You may now say that you dont care about your clear speed, but you should. Because you faster kill the monster, the less damage they are able to inflict to you. Also i would suggest to look out for force shield, those have usually a higher block chance, but make sure you only switch your kite shield with a force shield that actually has higher block. QUOTE(x151901 @ Mar 24 2020, 00:38)  the difficulty that I can go through random battle more stable now is NINTENDO.
Well that is allready not bad for your level. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) QUOTE(x151901 @ Mar 24 2020, 00:38)  Tried other styles, and the result were as the same as many guideline said, pretty bad.
Well that mostly also depends on your equipment, proficiency, IW and forging. So other playstyles arent completly as bad as they may look for you, but as long you are happy with 1H, there is imo no reason to change it. QUOTE(x151901 @ Mar 24 2020, 00:38)  I stuck at lv.200 arena @NINTENDO for a few weeks, be defeated many times as mobs used multiple SP/MP attacks in a short time interval.(1000~3000+ for physical, 2000+~7000+ for magical per shot (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) ) As i said, Nintendo is a fine difficulty for someone with your level. Soon enough you will play PFUDOR just fine, dont rush yourself too much. QUOTE(x151901 @ Mar 24 2020, 00:38)  Then I tried upgrade shield, some IW battles but failed. seems that the effect is limited.
First, IW your shield should have a low priority, IW your weapon would have a much higher impact on your strength. QUOTE(x151901 @ Mar 24 2020, 00:38)  Shall I lower the difficulty and grind the equipment drop more or there are something else I can do now?
Well, you could of course lower the difficulty. I suggest to try it out. When you get less often defeated by monster, be able to clear arena faster and by that even clear more of them per day, i would say yes, do it. QUOTE(jameshotate @ Mar 24 2020, 02:12)  Is a mage build playable without spamming imperil?
For holy and dark, yes, that is possible. For elemental mages, it isnt afaik. QUOTE(jameshotate @ Mar 24 2020, 02:12)  How long would it take a decently strong mage to clear DwD, ON NORMAL, without imperil? A general estimate would be fantastic.
Well DwD just like all SG arenas is imo the easiest you can do as a mage. And normal is the lowest difficulty. So i doubt that would take long. Get a decent staff, get a decent 3+2 armor set, get your prof up, IW your staff and give your set some forging and maybe some IW and you should be ready to clear DwD just fine. But like i said without imperil only holy and dark and those are usually more expensive. Also against the SG, you would use imperil anyway. Because they are really tanky, but weak when it comes to attacks. QUOTE(jameshotate @ Mar 24 2020, 02:12)  Thanks for your help.

Hm, SEA and DEA are both not the best, but when you only have the choice between those two, i would say go for the DEA. The difference between 94% and 84% isnt as big as one would think base that in this case are 38.06 and 38.35 so not that much, and personally i would prefer the Dex for additional parry.

Mage is playable without spamming imperil, but it would take a shitload of credits to do that. You'll need holy gear, or very, very good dark gear. Both are ridiculously expensive. Just use imperil, it's really easy if you use the right monsterbation settings. DwD? Imperil will always be faster. We all play with imperil! Only a masochist with too much time on his/her hands will grind the schoolgirls without imperil. I play without imperil for all arena's, IW and grindfest, but not against schoolgirls. As mage, clearing DWD is not really an issue, and normal is very, very easy. I play on PFUDOR, for the guaranteed magnificent+ drop at the end. A strong dark mage, like me, can clear DWD (with imperil) in 8-9 min or so. About 1500 turns. When I played decently storng Cold (Cool) mage, I could clear DWD 12-15min or so (on PFUDOR).

What does the spell rotation look like for an elemental mage? Do they just spam the 3 spells of their element, or do they weave in a second element for the bonus damage procs?
Thanks again.

Rainbow mage is long dead. We use only our specific element spells. (The same is true for holy and dark, although dark non-imperil can be played weaving in holy T3 before dark T3 for some extra oomph.)
