is there any reason to get ethereal melee weapons other than the 0 burden?
cuz IW potency gives elemental weapons spell damage boost according to its ele type and void type either way at lv 10

also i want to ask about shade armors suffix that grants same type of effect, is there any % differences in their stat value?
example:
-shadowdancer = Increases Evasion chance bonus, and Physical Critical chance bonus
-fleet = Increases Evasion chance bonus

just wondering if shadowdancer armor is kinda an upgraded version of fleet armor

1) IW doesn't give the spell damage boost, only the (random) elemental strike
2) 0 burden, 0 interference
3) Since they start off with void strike, ethereal weapons can be left at level 9 IW, allowing the player to use 2 infusions for min-maxing damage types (very tiny gain, generally not worth the bother)

Ethereal weapons are generally not worth much more than regular weapons though; most can have their burden fully negated with featherweight shards (or extremely close). It's mostly a vanity/laze thing, or a holdover from patches long, long gone...

And yes, shadowdancer is just fleet but better... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

As a wind caster, which element Spike Shield should I use?

no reason. And 0 burden sucks if you have good block and good parry.

shadowdancer has the same Evasion bonus as fleet: https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Equipment_Ranges_Light. It is way better, because it also gives damage bonus.

Any you like - doesn't make a huge difference.

I personally opt for cold (regardless of element), but it has very little effect on your gameplay.

Up to your taste, and if you're willing to make use of explosive damage or not.
For my part, I always use the Shock Spike Shield, whatever the element, because shocked mosters have a 10% debuff on the resist chance.

Hey guys, what happened to the alt site? I just get redirected to the normal version...
I swear my t/s are horrible recently.

I've been getting that with brave, but other browsers seem to work fine. Worth noting, the first time you load it up it might redirect you, but if you change the url again to alt, it should stick.

Hmmm... I tried changing it over and over and it doesn't stick. Chrome btw. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Brave which I'm using is based on Chrome. Firefox works for me though, as does Opera, an old version of Chrome Portable, and Vivaldi.

1. How do I dark mage? Could someone that plays it post screenshots of their stat spread and abilities? How do they function in battle? What should the cast order for my spells be? Should I ever be meleeing monsters to proc ether tap?

Just use monsterbation. There is a dark spell rotation in the examples of you read through the settings part of the code. Use mage abilities: cloth armor and staff, and the dark spell abilities. Use imperil abilities as well. Stats: high End, Agi, Int,Wis. Start every round with imperil on all monsters. But first: get a good staff and good gear. Spend at least 50m on gear and forging. Less is possible, but you won't get the full benefit from playing mage. And if you want great performance, spend 250m.

For some reason this thought did not occur to me today: does using Haste effectively make Spirit Stance drain 50% faster, relative to your natural replenishment?

Assuming this is true, then Spirit Shield and Haste are slightly incompatible with each other on 1H style. Haste wouldn't directly interact with Spirit Shield in any way, but if spirit reserves are lowered due to Haste speeding up Spirit Stance drain, then the Spirit Shield in turn feels more taxing.

After thinking about this further, Spirit Shield and Haste actually still work well together, just not as synergistically as Spirit Shield plus Protection and/or Shadow Veil.

Because the main effect will be that Haste greatly reduces all taken damage (by a third) which will in turn reduce the spirit drain from Spirit Shield equally. Overall this should result in savings despite Haste slowing down your body's (very slow) spirit regeneration which could be dwarfed by how often you drop spirit gems anyway.

So a 1H Spirit Shield user should never complain about adding Haste from a resources standpoint (the only question is whether they like Haste itself since most people used to feel it slows them down). On the other hand, a 1H Haste user would complain about adding the Spirit Shield more than others might expect, since the Haste player is used to operating with slightly more taxed spirit reserves to begin with and may dislike the spirit drain a bit more.

Do anyone know if there is auto trophy hands-in & Salvage script?

should i get as much monsters as i can and spread crystals between them evenly or it would be better to raise a small stack up to lvl500 and add new ones one by one?

As many as you can. Because the average level of the monster database is so high nowadays, and not many low level players, there is no way to really optimise monsters with crystals anymore - the fastest payoffs are measured in multiple years at a time (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

You may consider selling crystal packs for some quick cash.

If you do choose to use them on yourself, the optimal payoff times are ~750 (without chaos tokens) or ~1500 (if you can fully chaos the monster). These will take 3 years or more to pay off.

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Who is currently paying the most for Easter trophies? Would it be better to sell them, or offer them at the shrine? What are the chances that something worth more than 1m credits will appear to me?

Atomicpuppy for the mask, others for the Shrine Fortune. At your level you decide, credits is usually best for buying what you want in an auction. Chances are low.

More than 1mil?

Cloth that can be worth that much is something like 60/580, and staffs more like 4/133.

And then the legendary rate is ~1 in 10 for the T7s, if I recall, and maybe ~25% for the T8?

Cloth gives you a rate of ~1% chance of something worth ~1m with the T7s and ~2.5% for the T8 (small amount more if you get good rolls, large amount more if it's a very small subset of those 60).

Staffs give ~0.3% chance with the T7s and ~0.7% with the T8.

In other words: fucking abysmal, just sell them to people who have lots of credits and no goals left besides peerlesses.

just curious, why do other high level players buy energy drinks? I run a lot of grindfest and have pretty much always been able to replenish my energy with the artifacts that drop during the runs. if anything i get more than i use.
