[X] My Assistant

Oh the thing I didn't like was the UI changes, and Automation.
I just want a script that lets me change the keys, so I can use them. (things like F5 do stuff in my browser)

you can disable everything else and only use the keybinding function.

Hello i have a question
why restore the potential of an equipment?

Thanks in advance (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

you mean repair, perhaps? Well, if the condition of your equipment drops below 50%, all stats are effectively lower. You need to keep your gear above 50% condition / durability at all times, by repairing it in the Forge.

why restore the potential of an equipment?

Or perhaps you mean, "Why use an amnesia shard to reset an equipment piece's item potency to 0?"

As far as I understand, this is done when you wish to have potencies different from the ones you have gained. The Item World is largely a game of chance, after all, and will grant you a limited number of random potencies. Sometimes, especially with very expensive gear, you might want to have a fresh start.

Why is today's armour lottery so desirable (e.g., why so many sold tickets)?

I mean, I use cloth armour, but I don't really know why this has sold about 20 times as many tickets as a lot of the others. I can't even afford 1K of them :|

Is cloth low-key the best in the game (unbeknownst to me)? Is it the "demon-fiend" attribute? What am I missing?

Also, I may be almost halfway to level 500, but to be honest I don't really know how the game works still. Am I doing okay if I'm able to survive the random encounters at "Nintendo" at this point while dual-wielding? (By casting a whole bunch of defensive spells at the starts of matches and then usually meleeing into submission, but occasionally using offensive magic if I feel like it and using "frenzied blows" whenever it's available)


I play a lot of old-school RPG's, but IDK how helpful that is.

One more thing: Has anyone made a "dark theme" CSS style or user script for HV? And how does one unbind, say, the F11 key? If that's a setting I've missed it. Do I have to write some JS to intercept it or am I overthinking things?

Actually, one other thing.

I haven't gotten any tokens of blood in ages; I only need to do the "Triple Trio and the Tree" challenge still, but I have zero tokens and I am not really sure I remember how I was getting them before this. Any tips on getting them sort of quickly? Have I just gotten extremely unlucky with arena challenges? Because I usually do the shortest ones every day (I know those are less likely to yield the drops, but just how unlikely is it really? It's been weeks).

...

Because it's the best, strongest item there is for dark mage. Trust my word on that.

I mean, I use cloth armour, but I don't really know why this has sold about 20 times as many tickets as a lot of the others. I can't even afford 1K of them :|

That peerless would be worth 100-200 million credits. Your gear is 1000 credits. The reason is that with strong gear, you can clear all arena's on PFUDOR difficulty, and very fast.

Is cloth low-key the best in the game (unbeknownst to me)? Is it the "demon-fiend" attribute? What am I missing?

A matching staff and a matching cloth are the most expensive equips in the game. Peerless, Charged, matched with shoes, matched with demon-fiend = perfection.

Dual-wielding still works at your level, but you could consider going for 1h - rapier + force shield + power armors for example. Your gear leaves room for improvement.

Ehm...yes I think there was a dark theme CSS: yes, here it is: https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showt...p;#entry4926725
and yes, you would need a script for unbinding F11.

no tricks, tokens of blood are rare.

I mean, I use cloth armour,

And after seeing your set, i can assure you, that you shouldnt use cloth. Cloth is for mages, you are not a mage, you play DW, so you should use light/shade.

...

Mages use a mixture of proficiency equipments (cotton of the demon-fiend/elementalist/heaven-sent) and direct damage-boosting equipment (phase of fenrir, etc). Proficiency factor is important for mages, because it affects cast speed, mana cost, and it reduces both enemy mitigation and resist against your element. Dark mages use cotton gloves and shoes; the charged prefix adding cast speed makes it perfect for them. There are very, very few circumstances where dark mages deviate from this setup.

Yes, cloth armor is technically strongest in the game (in that mages are the strongest style), but that doesn't apply if you don't play mage, and mage is not a good choice if you do not have the wealth to select it. Typically one-handed players will use heavy armor (a full set of power, preferably) while other melee styles use light (ideally shade).

Tokens of Blood are pretty rare. You just have to play more; that's all you can do for them. A player who clears every arena can reasonably expect an average of around 5 per day.

So how would I get into mage? Are there affordable pieces I can try to find in the bazaar that'll let me clear arenas around Nintendo until I find better gear? Or would I have to dip down lower difficulty than that? Am I still too low level to think about this?

You're coming up to the level where people would start considering the switch these days.

The first step is understanding what sort of gear you want and why you want it. No, bazaar picks are going to be massively inadequate compared to stuff you can get at auctions (and probably more expensive these days, too).

A beginner mage should consider playing elemental imperil. The choice between element is mostly arbitrary; elec/wind is a little better because they can get more damage on a willow staff (preferable for grindfests), but their armor will be more expensive. If you only want to play arenas, all elements are basically equivalent (in this case, you would want a redwood staff).

Your staff will be [element] willow of destruction (for grindfest/IW setups) or [element] redwood of destruction (for arenas). [Element] Redwood of [corresponding EDB suffix] is also usable, and although it performs slightly worse, it can also be a little cheaper to set up since you can get a larger amount of benefit from forging just EDB, and leave MDB til a bit later.

For the armor pieces, you'll want a proficiency piece (cotton of the elementalist) and the rest phase of [your element]. I recommend using robe or pants for your prof slot when you're starting, it'll be a pretty long time before you get your base proficiency high enough to get a performance gain from switching. It'll help you survive if you look for full charged pieces to begin with, but radiants perform better in arenas (the difficulty is not that high) so both are fine to look for. They're pretty cheap these days, though you might have to wait a few auctions to find the right pieces. It's okay if the stats are not that high.

For choosing the element - it might help if you watch for a good staff within your soulfuse range first, and pick based on that. Fire/cold is probably your best bet, because charged/radiant pieces for those are often fairly cheap.

The expense of maging is in forging. Work on the staff first, then everything else. You can start right away, but it benefits from forging a lot, and it gets a lot faster and a lot safer the more you invest.

You can jump right into PFUDOR like this for arenas, if you forge the staff alone. It's really easier than people think. Forging the prof on your cotton of the elementalist to 50 is also ideal, and the phases to 5.

...

Thanks for the very detailed response! I think I'm gunna get started on it. But what quality should I shoot for to be effective? Magnificent ok for the Staff or should I definitely shoot for Legendary? I'd guess so because you mention upgrading it significantly. How about for the cloth/phase armor?

Also, I managed a whopping total of 5 Festival Coupons, which I'm reading can't be sold or traded. Given that I want to try out Mage, should I turn them in as Staff or Cloth, balancing the chance I could get something useful to myself vs something I could sell to afford the actual stuff I need?

Thanks again!

Contrarily to what everyone said before, I'd say that those shoes are not ultimate.
Yeah sure, Peerless Charged Cotton of the Demon-Fiend are the ultimate stats, buuuuut... you don't need gloves and shoes to be Peerless as dark mage. They are simply waaayyy overkill for no real benefit besides a tiiiny increased defense. You can hit 1.0 prof factor very decently with average staff, average gloves and average shoes, no problem.

So IMHO, all those who jump on those shoes (besides the usual greedy and annoying dust collectors) are delusional players who are attracted by the shiny combination of prefix and suffix. It's a bit like every elemental mage went mad about Peerless Charged Cotton Cap of the Elementalist: it looks great, but it's overkill for what it needs to do.

So quite great overall, but completely optional. They're not even fit to be used in the ultimate dark mage build.

Recently, I’ve played a lot on normal difficulty, for relaxation, but not only that.

The lowest levels are also a good means of harvesting crudes and fairs (in order to make sure I have enough scrap materials at all times) and certain cheap items that turn out to be relatively sought after, now that I am finally getting acquainted with the WTB subforum.

Sometimes it happens that I require rather many units of one certain scrap material, but keep dropping lots of low quality equipment made of the other three. My earliest strategy to cope this was to repair more superiors and even averages before bazaaring them (this might not make sense to you, but I get irrational satisfaction for every pip of forge upgrade experience I can get). At some point, I started bazaaring more averages and even fairs and crudes, because I really had more use even for the scarce credits than for the piles of certain scraps.

At current, I am realizing there might be a decent market for scrap materials among players; it is just not very visible, because the money involved is so low. Which is a more viable choice in the end if I already have scrap metal surplus, bazaaring crude plate pieces or salvaging them and trying to find human buyers for the scrap?

If there is no notable difference, I’d prefer selling the scraps, because that means more interaction, which I consider a plus.

I agree with you, I may have been a bit over-enthusiastic. A lot of dark players would still want it, a bit for the benefit from the PAB's on those shoes, but mainly because it's cool to use peerless in your build. But for the proficiency it's not needed, but it's quite a big e-penis.

Imho, best dark piece is a Peerless Charged Robe of the Demon-Fiend, but I don't think there are many of those around. And one would need close to 600 base prof to make that work. I have the base prof, but I have settled for a Peerless not-charged Robe of Demon-fiend. And of course on of the best pieces is the PDWD - which I don't have but others do.

Look for legendary for both - it's really accessible these days, and the stat boost over magnificent is pretty significant.

Shrining is fine for either. Staffs have a pretty good chance of being one of the desirable types, but the chances of getting a self-use item from shrining is abysmally tiny; it may be more economic to go for cloth (partly for the high-grade cloth from magnificents, but also because there's a lot more sellable cloth items, and a bit more money in them).

At current, I am realizing there might be a decent market for scrap materials among players; it is just not very visible, because the money involved is so low. Which is a more viable choice in the end if I already have scrap metal surplus, bazaaring crude plate pieces or salvaging them and trying to find human buyers for the scrap?

HVUtils can make this decision easier for you. Most of the time, bazaaring them is going to be better. Partly because the credit return is often higher, but also because scraps are not so commonly sought out (outside of mages looking for discounts on cloth), so they're pretty hard to sell in any significant quantity.

Not just the 600 base prof, but peerless (or near-peerless) proficiency on staff is also required to make 4+1 perform better than 3+2. It's not really a realistic goal for anyone but like... 3 people... to aim for, which is why I didn't go into detail about it last time; it risks misleading newbies into thinking it's something they can actually do without some $2000 to spare, several years and a fair bit of luck (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

That’s the information I was after; thanks a lot!

Just yesterday, I was able to get a satisfying price for a package of scrap metal and scrap wood. I was unsure how common such offers are, so it is good to hear the thoughts of a specialist.

Also, I would like to use this occasion to thank everybody who has given me good advice during this week. May your drops be plentiful!

most useful weapons are with "ethereal" prefixes, so does that mean estoc or rapier are useless? penetrated armor and void damage....

No, void damage has no 'specific' mitigation (like slashing, crushing, piercing, fire... etc) but the damage source is still physical-typed (there are no magical sources of void damage at present), so attacks made with a void-typed weapon still benefit from penetrated armor stacks.

how to put equip link with name on it?

because all i can do only copy paste link like this:

are there some script or something to make it show the name of items?
