I’m sorry for not making it clear enough, but the most important point of my question was: repair first or just bazaar?

1) just bazaar it,

2) repair it to make use of all the scrap you already have and to improve your forge upgrade level and then bazaar it,

What is your reasoning?

The salvage part was there mainly because I was curious to know whether you need lots of scrap materials on higher levels.

Some legendary shade gear may give you more repairing before bazaaring, but it depends on if you think it's worth the effort, most other stuff isn't worth repairing. You get so little forge experience repairing that it's not worth doing it for that, you'll level that up naturally as you forge gear you use later in the game.

Everyone needs scrap regardless of level, since you have to repair your gear as you use it

Choosing whether to bazaar or salvage really does only come down to what gives you more, which is why you got the answers you did, it's forge experience isn't anything worth considering

Curious about the Forge levels that players gain when using the Forge. Does the levels actually DO anything?

Lets you forge to a higher level. You're capped to 50+forge level for ADB/MDB, and 25+(forge level/2) for non-ADB/MDB stats.

99% of the time it's more efficient to bazaar equips & just buy the scraps from the item shop instead.

And yeah, as Shank said: sometimes, we repair shade armor for a minor credit gain over selling it as it drops. But it's not really worth bothering with it for the forge level. Just forging a set of gear naturally will level the forge enough.

I have been playing this game for an while now and wanted to know if there was an "optimal build" for playing it or any recommend builds at all. I have an strength focused character if that makes sense.

Sure, for beginners usually the recommended build is 1H. And for that is imo the best setup One Rapier, One Force Shield (in the best case SDE), a full power armor set made of two warding and three protection for the defense. Slaughter is imo only something you should go for when defense is no longer your top priority aka when you can clear all arenas on PFUDOR without any problem. And just to mention it, some people would prefer a short sword instead of the rapier, but i am not convinced about that. And in the end the most optimal build would be a holy mage build, something that is not recommended for beginners, because a good one is expensive aka the most expensive build in the whole game.

can someone explain about edb,parry,edb,etc i don't find the explanation in the wiki
what do those mean and what is the % value beside it

example:
[230283327] Exquisite Charged Phase Pants of Surtr (Level 251)
251 , EDB -51%, Evd -133%, CS -133%

can i assume that (-) means bad stats/lesser stats than the average?

Thank you!! This is pretty much the info I was after.

Okay. I thought maybe only high-grade or mid-grade materials could be used to repair legendary or peerless equipment (which I, of course, only know by hearsay).

EDB means elemental damage bonus and is a multiplicator for the damage a spell from the corresponding element will get. Parry means the chance of parriying a physical attack, which means avoid been hit by it. And in the wiki you would find EDB here.

Well after checking for myself i can assume you didnt set them to Exquisite ranges. Because if you did, you wouldnt see any minus sign.

These are 'equipment ranges' generated by the Live Percentile Ranges addon.

They are based around the minimum and maximum known values for equipment.

The latest version of LPR uses Legendary ranges for all equipment. Thus, when you see negative values, it means it's worse than any possible value for a legendary item.

Sometimes, the values are not 100% accurate, and you may see values over 100% for a few rare items, too.

Note that these percentiles are strictly related to only the minimum and maximum values; they are not relative to equipment that actually exists.

Fortunately, no, x-grade materials, bindings & rare-types like crystallized phazons are only used for upgrading at the forge. Scraps and energy cells are the only materials used for repairing, regardless of equipment quality or level or any other factor.

Hello, what price is for Plague Mask, and what can I get from offering it ? ?

Up to 1m, and 99% likeliness, an item that is worth less than 1m (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

How is spike shield damage calculated?

How is spike shield damage calculated?

I don't think it causes damage it just lowers evade, resist by 10% and fire resistance by 25. I'm assuming its 25% of fire resistance.

look at your battle stats after play (a feature of Monsterbation): your spikes do damage, but it's just a tiny bit. Check the wiki for more info in spike shields.

I might look into it a bit more later but it seems like the spike shield damage is not enough to matter anyway; at least not for warriors. I suspect EDB might increase the spike shield damage, plus any style other than 1H will inflict the spike shield ailments much more often (due to lack of stuns). MDB might influence the spike shield damage as well?

On my 1H melee the script readouts show spike shield total damage is about 2% of void strikes, or 5% of elemental strikes, which are already themselves just a small component of your total damage.

It seemed like if 1H blocks or parries the incoming attack, then the spike shield does 5 damage: the minimum cap. But if I get hit, then the spike shield does a lot more damage. So letting yourself get hit a lot may be another way to increase spike shield damage; I'm not sure if the reflected damage might be related to how much damage you took yourself.

Your spike shield hits Mithra for 44 points of elec damage.
Your spike shield hits Mithra for 5 points of elec damage.
Your spike shield hits White Bunneh for 33 points of elec damage.
Your spike shield hits Mithra for 39 points of elec damage.
Your spike shield hits Halfdragon Priscilla for 68 points of elec damage.
Your spike shield hits Nekkar for 86 points of elec damage.
Your spike shield hits Halfdragon Priscilla for 79 points of elec damage.
Your spike shield hits White Bunneh for 37 points of elec damage.
Your spike shield hits The Number One for 226 points of elec damage.
Your spike shield hits Drogon for 279 points of elec damage.
Your spike shield hits Drogon for 1004 points of elec damage.
Your spike shield hits Rhaegal for 292 points of elec damage.
Your spike shield hits Drogon for 994 points of elec damage.

It does seem kinda random. Maybe its based of the monster's electrical resistance?

Is there a list of things not to bother with before later? I'm still in the early-mid 100's.
Crafting for an instance.

Crafting? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) There is no crafting. Do you mean forging your equipment? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) If you mean forging, yes, that is just like IW something you should just do at later level, when you finally got equipment that was worth soulfusing. And Grindfest is also something for later.

Now im confused. How would you level if not grindfest? The others seem to give way less experience.
