dark is not more expensive than wind or electric. I'd say wind and elec are better and more expensive than dark. Dark may be a bit better against schoolgirls, wind and elec may be a bit better against regular monsters, in the end they all work when you use imperil. However, holy is just the best type possible, because of 'breached defense' (see the wiki if you don't know what that is). There are a lot of players that have income from H@H clients, selling gold stars, doing bounties, etc. etc. They have so much credits, that it doesn't matter if an item costs 50m or 100m. They will want the holy gear and can pay a lot. So... in practice, holy is for rich h@h players, the other elements are for the normal players. Don't look at holy, unless you are a 'mad hather'.

Or if you have fun spending nearly a whole years income and still get nowhere. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Schoolgirl bosses in the last 3 arenas have -1 dark/holy mitigation, so those 2 elements are the best for that. Holy is slightly better because it has a debuff that reduces enemy magic mitigation by 10%. Charged equipments are not necessary to survive arenas for experienced mages, so radiants are preferred there; the number of players who only do arenas is much higher than those who do grindfests, so radiant dark is still quite expensive as a good option for those who cannot afford radiant holy. Holy is a slightly different case, because radiant holy is still optimal for grindfests - albeit requiring full forging, DD9 and strong equipments to overtake an imperil build in that regard. However, the comfort of the non-imperil style is also a factor for many players, and it can be played on lower difficulties with less effort. This is a bit of a condensed answer so please feel free to ask for further details if there's anything more you want to know about it.

There is no special way to farm them. Just play as much as you can, on the highest difficulty you can manage. You could farm grindfest and flee when it starts to become slow and dangerous for you. Item world is a little easier to complete than a full grindfest, but because it costs stamina up-front, it's best not to do IW if you die a lot or need to flee.

Regarding stamina, is it better to keep it at a high level, like between 70s and 99, or should I just use it until I end up in the danger zone. I ask because I've been thinking of doing GF after completing the Arenas rather than letting my stamina recharge.

Above 80, it'll cost twice as much stamina per round but you'll get twice the exp for it. If exp is your goal, you might consider it. On the other hand, because of that increased consumption, playing between 10 and 79 is better for income per stamina spent. If you go below 10, items no longer drop, so it's better to stay above that. If you do every arena every day, it consumes a little more than 24 stamina, so you'll need to spend energy drinks (very rarely) to keep it up. Playing grindfests is profitable even if you must expend energy drinks (else nobody would ever do it), but if you're not accustomed to the reward rate there... don't expect it to be as kind as arenas are.

Thank you for the info on the stamina. Is GF really harder than Arenas? Haven't really committed to playing it.

First 300 rounds is similar. After that, it gets harder. And beyond round 700 it's Bloody. Hard.

Significantly so, especially at higher levels. Arenas typically have lower monster density or bosses mixed in (which don't scale up particularly well compared to normal monsters). Grindfest has high density normal monsters with damage increasing every round. Since grindfest monsters start off dealing 50% damage, and increase by 0.4% per round, it breaks even at round 125 - beyond that point, it becomes harder than arenas.

That is not true. I do all arenas just fine as beer mage, without scrolls, i need to use scrolls allready around round 200. So round 300 is allready far away from the difficulty of arenas.

For Holy mages, is there any real benefit in using a Hallowed Willow Staff of Destruction? It's a mismatch in gear, to be sure, but a positive would be much higher (on average) MDB and Dep Prof (Supportive was useful early on for defense, but somewhat negated by investment in Innate Arcana), but the loss of Holy EDB/Prof seems like it would require too much other effort to balance (i.e., another prof-devoted clothing) that would probably erase the extra MDB benefit in the process. I assume somebody has tinkered with the idea long before, so I'm just curious if there are any established opinions about this.

yes, this can be simulated, based on the equipment ranges. Willow is so much worse than LHOH, it's considered unplayable. But I think Lestion has done those actual simulations, perhaps he can share the results?
