QUOTE(davidtsu @ Jun 20 2021, 12:01)  Oh right, the BTC cannot be taken out of HV wallet, that's good, at least scammer cannot cash the BTC. But still what if the buyer claims that he/she did not receive my BTC transfer while I have sent the BTC.
The system could also check whether there is actually transfer to the wallet, the wallet is owned by the system anyway. So make sure you strictly transfer to an address sent using the system. This post has been edited by Fudo Masamune: Jun 20 2021, 06:35

Alright, makes sense, thanks. A question about soulbound, so what equip is considered good to be soulbounded? I think soulbound trash equip is wasting soul fragments as everyone only get 60 per day, and cost 1k credit to buy one, which is pretty expensive. However, soulbound valuable equip is also a bad idea, because once soulbounded, it cannot be traded anymore. For example, if I bought a pretty good equip with 500k, if I do not soulbound, I can sell it later, but once soulbound, nothing I can do except salvage. Any good ideas?

Good idea: use +quote to react to more than one post. Don't create 2-3 post right after each other Good idea2: Edit your post if you want to ask something else but the last post was one of yours. Don't create 2 posts right after each other Souldfuse anything that is useful for more than 50 levels. You can try to optimize, gamble on re-sale, or you can just fuse. Difference isn't that big.

How much difference does difficulty level do for drops? I know it affects item quality and crystals, but if all you are after is tokens, artifacts and amnesia shards, does it make any difference between PFUDOR or just blazing through the rounds on normal?

I had soulbound a piece of gear on Isekai before the reset, but it never showed up on my Persistent character. Is there normally a period of a couple days where things aren't transferred over, or did I just lose my new (formerly) favorite heavy armor to the void?

Yes: QUOTE(Tenboro @ Jun 21 2021, 09:25)  The following things will carry over to Persistent when this update has been deployed there:
- Peerless equipment and all soulfused equipment, as well as any unspent peerless vouchers
- Credit balance + value of item + equipment inventory exceeding 1 million
- Primary stat bonuses and a global damage bonus depending on the number of tower floors cleared
- A peerless voucher for the Top 10 tower floor clears:
(tba)
...
(Again, note that stuff hasn't been added to Persistent yet.)

I want to upgrade and IW my weapon but have no idea how to start. So far all of my equips are in "crude" status, never forged or IWed. I feel like upgrade and IW is not a easy work and I don't want to start without the best plan and ruined the weapon. Could anyone give me some suggestions about it? My questions here:
1. For a brand new weapon, which is the first thing to do, IW? Or upgrade? 2. Should I do it myself or just pay someone to do it for me? 3. So far I don't have good equips (the most valuable equip I have is probably a shortsword around 500k value) so is it worth fully upgrading or IWing it? If not, any low cost plan to partially upgrade or IW? 4. I am using this weapon now, any ideas about to what extent I should upgrade or IW it? For example only IW to 5 and upgrade a few levels? (https://hentaiverse.org/equip/272277607/658443aaff)
Also, I sold a star recently so I did have some credit, any suggestion about spending money?
1. Training the proficiency rate +10% worth it? 2. Training the 4 item dropping rate worth it? 3. Hath perks? I have IA 4 now, that's all I have in Hath perks, anything else worth investing? 4. shopping million level equips? 5. shopping tens million level equips with decent upgrades and IWs?
which of the above is better for me now?
Thanks guys.

1. IW 2. Weapon always to 10. Always. armors you can leave if you plan to replace soon 3. IW your weapon to 10 dude! 4. IW your weapon to 10, seriously! 1. only if you can easily afford the cost 2. Yes, until it becomes too expensive to do easiliy 3. IA 4 is enough. DD1 is very nice. And a couple of restorative perks. 4. yes, why not? if you enjoy the game. Just don't go for 'perfect' stuff 5. Meh. do that yourself, I'd say

1. You're (nearly) RICH now and if you want to get something like 5P4S or 5O4B, just BUY! 2. If your gears are still "crude", level up to 400 and BUY decent gears 4. IW first that's cheaper. 1. Only if you're mage. 2. Train a bit always worth, Full-train only worth if you plan to farm hv years. 3. Only if you're mage. 4. Sure, or BUY tons of trophies if you have FoS. 5. If you can afford that, or BUY many tons of trophies if you have FoS.

Thanks for your advice. I just did the DD1 and restorative. But I did not see the effect of the additional 50% restorative, is it for the Regen buff? QUOTE(sharmy @ Jun 21 2021, 17:26)  1.

Dude, how do you know I am (nearly) rich? lol, I am not, if I sell all of my equips, it is probably worth less than 2m. Right, I am leveling up now, much faster than before but still take at least a month to reach 400 level. FoS is 50k hath, literally 200m credit, which is 2.5 goldstars. I guess only true billionaire will do that.

with 85m you can (nearly) get a charged set, which means you become rich (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Anyway, I think I will switch to mage later because I have nothing about mage now. Even don't know how to play mage. I probably need to figure out the answer of the following questions before seriously switch to mage. 1. For 1H melee, simply a Ethereal slaughter Rapier and power heavy equips, then imperial mobs, sometimes Vital strike the SGs and OFC at 3SGs round, that's it, easy. But for Mage, I think even different style has its own ways to play. I guess maybe imperial first? then magnet or blind or weaken etc? Once mobs are debuffed then use offensive magic to kill? No idea about the best and efficient order of magic at all. 2. How to evaluate a mage equip? Of course the price check page can help, but I need to know the pricing rules, for example I know power heavy with slaughter is very expensive, and stoneskin, deflection, dampen are the worst etc. But how about mage equips, for stuff, what property or stats are valuable? What property is trash? How about mage cloth? I guess protection, warding etc are still considered trash for cloth, maybe destruction is a good one? No idea at all now lol. 3. How to make a combination of mage equips? I saw many master player including you mention something like 4s3p (maybe wrong spelling, but something like that), what does it mean? For melee, easy, all power, no brainer, unless struggle on survive. But for mage, hmm, all phase for damage? no idea at all now lol. In general, switching to mage needs not only a long equip preparation time and insanely huge credit investment (like you said before, 100m only gives an OK level mage equips set), but also long knowledge level learning, and long time proficiency boosting. Simply invest 85m (actually only 73m left now cuz I wasted 11m on path perks and training, feel guilty on wasting 11m credits lol) is not going to work as a mage.

Simply invest 85m (actually only 73m left now cuz I wasted 11m on path perks and training, feel guilty on wasting 11m credits lol) is not going to work as a mage.
1. Non-imperil Holy can cast offensive spells directly! But 85m is not enough to build a high-performance holy set (maybe 1b? i am not sure). Most mages are imperil mage, cast imperil first and then offensive spells, anything else is usually not needed. If there is survival issue, use scrolls, if that doesn't work, I personally suggest to switch to lower difficulty 2. Check this if you don't have basic knowledge. For Staff, the most important property is MDB, MDB > 50% is a basic requirement for "decent" staff. Beside, EDB, E/D/FProf, CR are useful, for imperil mage, DeprProf is also useful, it's nearly impossible to find a "Legendary" staff which is "decent" in all five properties, cosider yourself. For Cloth armor, things are simple, the most important property is EDB (for Phase) or E/D/FProf (for Cotton), Evd, PMit and Agi are useful but are seldom considered. 3. You need to make your Prof. Factor >= "goal", "goal" is 0.7-0.8 if you're imperil-elemental mage, 0.9-1.0 if you are holy/dark mage. so you need Cotton of Elementalist/Heaven-sent/Demon-field, when you finish your Prof. Factor, equip all the other slots with Phase. For imperil-elemental mage, generally 3Phase+2Cotton works well if your gears are not forged, 4Phase+1Cotton works well if your gears are full-forged (maybe you need Eminent Elementalist) 5P4S means Penetrator Lv.5 + Spellweaver Lv.4 , that's the most popular IW choice for staff. For an AR-only staff, 5P4A (AKA Penetrator Lv.5 + Archmage Lv.4) should be better but I don't suggest that unless you've completed your mage armors, because 5P4S is safer, which is more important for mage beginner. 4. That's not, with 100m you can build a mage who can farm PFest, that's not the mage's beginning but the mage's ending. You can build a mage with wrose gears (eg: Mag. staff + Plain Cloth), with these 1m-tie gears you can already farm PF AR easily and quickly.

Hi,
I am seeing several experienced players using light armor on isekai. Is it better than heavy? Should I go for light this time?

Not "better" per se, but more defensive. At low levels and with mostly Exq gears and little to no forging, Block just isn't high enough to reliably negate most of the damage. Throwing in Evade and much better Resist, Light Armor offers a very useful mix of damage avoidance early on. QUOTE(GREGRE @ Jun 22 2021, 21:55)  At your lvl should, arenas should be a walk in the park as a 1H Heavy player. Adjust your equipment as follows: - Get a Force Shield with ~37 base Block, the more the better. Forge Block at least to lvl 10-15, more if you can afford it
- Replace your weapon with a Slaughter Rapier for more damage. Get IW10 for Void damage + Strike
- Replace all Plate Armors with Power equipment. You'll get much more ADB, and killing faster means less damage taken

QUOTE(GREGRE @ Jun 22 2021, 14:55)  I'd assume dying means spark of life activating once in a while, which could be normal at your level as long you are not being defeated. Otherwise how are your PAs? You might want more END and a bit more DEX. For upgrades in equipment you need: - Rapier needs IW10 to deal more damage and change it to void, which monsters can't resist, go to a IW service or try it yourself in Nintendo/IWBTH difficulty if you have another weapon, simple IW10 is fine as your rapier is not a endgame one. - You might want to change your shield for a Force Shield with the highest block you can get, prefixes and suffixes don't matter and PAB are not that important (STR. DEX and END are preferred). - A bit of forging might also help in general, level 5 in things like rapier ADB and Parry, and shield block are useful.
