Yup scrolls will let you clear a PFEST without too much trouble assuming your evade is around 66%. Now here is a question about proficiency. Let's say I switch my divine set to blast monsters with Paradise Lost, Ragnarok, Storms of Njord, and then Banishment. Now will my divine proficiency gain be the same if I had done Paradise Lost, Banishment, and Smite ? I switched up my set to gain all three proficiencies today and I cleared arenas without checking first.

The prof gain should be the same as long as you use at least one spell of that type. The amount gained is based on the exp you gain.

Well that's good. It looks like I'm going to have to play that way from now on. The thought of doing each one separately to 600 is a bit too much. Now that I know the real challenge will be 585-600.

Isekai questions
1. Soulfused items, do upgrades reset? What do I lose and get to keep?
2. Peerless voucher, does the draw become tradable if I use the voucher after carrying it over to permanent?

1. Upgrades are reset when soulbound items are moved from Isekai to Persistent. You only get the bare item. (And peerless items will be soulbound in Persistent even if they weren't in Isekai.)

2. The equipment you get from using a peerless voucher is always soulbound.

Ok, so there is no point in keeping the peerless voucher. Just use it when I get it. Right?

Also, assuming I barely have any (invested) gears, would it be best to go for peerless staff?

generally yes, staff would be your best bet. Unless you don't want to play mage, of course.

Hello,
I can't find the info.
When you infuse a Weapon with a higher level than your own, the statistics decrease?
I have my current infused weapon hit at 1300. But I saw in the store a Vampire Etheral weapon of higher levels that hit at 1100.
So if I infuse it with my lower level, the 1100 hit stat will drop?

Thank

yes, the stats drop to your level. Use Live Percental Ranges - in the equipment pop-up (press 'c' when hovering over equipment), then the script can scale the stats to every level.

Also, generally speaking vampire weapons... well, they suck, don't they?

Idk how different in power levels we are, but extreme suffering around round 600 seems much like my current predicament. I've read "most" of what has been said in this thread about pfest and ifest and I've decided waiting to have significantly more forging both in aggresive and defensive stats before I try mage fests again, to reduce consumable cost/not flee.

In Ifest I can safely play up until 800, then it gets slow and scary.
In pfest it gets slow and elixir consuming around 500.

But, in any case and for reference, it is more profitable to me at the moment to sell the ED (or not to buy it) than actually doing the fest ignoring the value of the experience/prof gained.

Even with a full forge set and DD9 PFFEST already starts being extremely difficult around round 500.
I never use gum and vase for my part and I go until round 1000.
The only real difficulty beyond that point is having proper discipline when casting Imperil. You can ben sparked and hit as hard as you want, as long as you can use elixirs as last resort it's very fine. All you really need to watch is how many elixirs you use. Even 4-5 spirit elixirs (my main expense personally) is very fine, given you get 5000 credits in the end.

Oh, and never, ever play PFFEST as mage on Friday. It's just pure suicide, even for the strongest players.

Mage question

I see sssss2's HV Utils script has two Mage Statistics on equip page: "Magic Score" & "Arcane Score"

What is the purpose of these scores? Are these score somehow reliable to represent Mage build performance, or "completely pointless" as the formula behind are not necessary vaild in actual battle, such that these scores are probably nothing more than just for vanity?

I don't know much about the history or factors behind these score, I just want to know if these scores can be used to compare mage build's performance. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

They do measure mage build performance, but with some limitations. Magic score takes into account MDB, EDB, and magic crit, while arcane score does the same but assumes arcane focus is on. I prefer to look at the bottom right number in the table, corresponding to strength against a 75% mitigation monster with maximum resist, since this number also takes into account prof factor and counter-resist. Or the appropriate entry in the schoolgirl column to predict performance in SG arenas.

If you've already maxed counter-resist (willow/oak and pen5) and reached your target prof factor, magic/arcane score is a good way to measure your mage build performance for that particular mage build. For example, an imperil dark build with slightly lower magic/arcane score may clear faster than a higher-scoring imperil wind mage. And don't even try to compare imperil mage and nonimperil mage builds.

I see, so correct me if I am wrong with sum up here (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) :

1. These scores are mage build performance before taking account of prof, CR, monstor mitigation. The bottom right number does, and the bottom right number are also calculated based on these scores.

2. These scores are not necessary comparable for different mage style, but still can be used to measure your own mage build performance, say switching different gears/slots in same mage style.

Yeah, the bottom right table is for estimating your average 'base damage' against various types of enemies. But the real damage you'll do with spells is higher for two reasons:

• The number shown is just calculated from your stats, but spells have extra damage modifiers (starting from 4x on tier 1 spells).
• HVUtils calculates an average distribution of resist chances & applies that to these numbers, to show your average damage against enemies with that level of mitigation/resist.
• The columns correspond to different levels of resist chance, hover over the table headings to see numbers.

I just got a Golden Lottery Ticket. My first lottery winning ever. Yay...

I just want some clarification on how it works. The Wiki says it adds 100 tickets and doubles their effective ticket count (up to a maximum of 10% of total pool). So it does both? If I buy 10 tickets, it adds 100 and doubles the original 10 for a total of 120?

My understanding is that it adds 100 tickets to your bet, up to a maximum of 20k tickets, and then during the draw, doubles the effective number of tickets you have, up to 10% of the total pool.

So if you buy 10 tickets and use a Golden Lottery Ticket, you would have 110 tickets and and, at the drawing, an effective ticket count of 220 tickets (assuming the total ticket pool is at least 2200 tickets).

Note that you never see the doubling effect reflected in your ticket count, that only occurs during the drawing.

Hello,
I am a newbie here, just played this game for three days. I noticed that my stamina became red after I finished a random encounter. It says I have increased stamina drain due to low riddle accuracy. However, there wasn't a riddle that showed up in that encounter, and I almost always get the riddle master buff when a riddle appears, so I am confused as to why am I punished due to riddle accuracy.

You receive the buff if you answer in time, irregardless of accuracy.
The system does not give you feedback on whether your answer is right or wrong.
There is a delay between your inaccuracies and the penalty, so you can't draw conclusions out of your most recent riddles/battles.

Bear in mind there are always three ponies, there can be up to three different ponies, or repeated ones. You are supposed to try and get all of them correctly.

If you are a new player, you'll need some time to get used to get accuracy in the ponies. I used to always be penalized, but I haven't been penalized in a very long time now.

One of the images is a double Pinkie Pie so there can be more than 3, I think I've even encountered 5 Pinkie Pies once but I might have been mistaken on that. It is always three images though.
