I forgot to ask how am i gonna fix 110 Burden. I want to build 1H with Heavy armor

There's nothing to "fix". Once you get better armor, your burden will go down by itself. If you have problems with casting (supportive) spells due to MP shortage, put some points into wisdom to increase your MP.

And is my shield choice correct?

If it's the best what dropped for you, and you don't have any other way to obtain another one, then yes. If you have the choice, though, always go for Force Shields, since they have the highest block chance.

How difficult are Ring of Blood encounters compared with Arenas?

If I can beat the latest arenas at my level at Nintendo difficulty, what difficulty should Rings of Blood be at?

I kinda don't want to gamble 10 Tokens of blood (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Edit: I'm 1H Heavy btw

I was always too timid to do them on hard difficulties, until I gambled and did IWBTH for most of them. Wasn't hard at all. With proper buffs, maybe some scrolls if you're scared, the right items, you should be fine with PFUDOR. But then again, I'm around 250, and I'm a newbie so take my advice with a grain of salt I guess. (I'm 1H Heavy as well)

RoB is super easy, except for the last one. I think apart from TT&TT, I cleared all RoB on PFUDOR when I was around your level, then I cleared TT&TT when I was around 280. I would say just ignore the last RoB for now, try FSM on PFUDOR. Use scrolls and weaken + silence if necessary.

Indeed, TT&TT on Nintendo was actually painless with just Silence spam and the usual. Shouldn't have been scared (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Thank you for your advice pros

Newish player here with some kind of experience (Played solo, Lost password with a forgotten email address)

Is it advisable to head into the late 100s to early 200s with all heavy equipment and with 2H weapons?

If harder difficulties are not recommended at lower levels, then when would it appropriate to jack the difficulty the up? What would be the point by then?

So about receiving/sending stuff to other players. Do I need to pay anything if I receive something from other players? Is the CoD service just to prevent people from taking items and running away without paying?

Newish? Sucks to forget your password. Be careful, if you ever remember it and log in again, you might get banned for multiple-accounts.

Good place to start for equipment or build advice is here

COD is to prevent taking without paying, yes. Sending MM costs postage, until you get the Postage Paid hath perk - highly recommended, because very cheap. Receiving is always free postage charge, only COD if you buy stuff.

I trust you are not MM-ing stuff from your old account to your new account, 'cause that would get you in all sorts of trouble. Luckily you forgot your password.

with how cheap crystals are becoming I don't feel like it is worth selling them as much as using them myself now. since CP were a vast majority of my income from GF, I have been considering transitioning to IW service.

anyone with IW service experience care to chime in on if it is worth buying the dark descent perk and if there enough demand to consider the transition??

Dark Decent is a pretty good perk if you do regular IW yourself.

Quick question: Do high-level players benefits from doing PFDfest rather than selling energy drinks?
Assuming that 1. you are a mage that needs some elixirs and scrolls to pass.
2. You don't sell crystals you save them for yourself.
3. Consider the cost of each energy drink is 100k, that is you don't count in the effect of Long Gone before Day Light perk.

You should definitely get that perk even for personal use. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

---- if there enough demand to consider the transition??

Demand for iw service? I saw some shops that opened the service has a long iw service log succeded, so i think the demand is good. Many players can't do iw i guess, and i'm one of them (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) i had all my build sent to the service... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I do PFfest + I sell ED. Not by many, but still I use less that I gain. I play 1 PFFEST (or 2 sometimes) + all arena's per day.

Arch 10, Scav 50 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

1. True, I need those yes. Quite a lot of them.
2. True, my Sweet 16 Monsters are always hungry for more crystals
3. We all have the LGBT perk.

You don't need EDs unless your stamina consistently gets dangerously close to 10 or you really want that 80+ stamina double EXP.

Why archmage is not that popular like butcher for melee?

I want to ask the same, plus: why Mystic prefix is inferior to Charged or Radiant?

There is a certain shop that shall not be named with ridiculously overpriced wares. Don't let those fool you.

And yet it sells ... from time to time.

Just recently sold a bunch of things around 300k-500k each. To think that he often buys in auction @50k (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

What is really annoying though, is that doing so depletes the auctions for other potential buyers, effectively creating a "desert of offer" effect on the market ... I suspect it may be a purposedly pursued strategy (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Not that I blame him, it's not against any rule. I would even possibly do a bit of the same game, to see how it fares, if only I had the resources to try that ... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

because Penetrator and Spellweaver it's only way for staff to increase Counter-Resist and Casting Speed. MDB you can increase by forging, so Archmage not wanted as Pen5 + Sp4

I want to ask the same, plus: why Mystic prefix is inferior to Charged or Radiant?

charged = higher Casting Speed = you have turns to kill the monsters before they hit you = very good for imperil elementalist
radiand = higher MDB = you have damage to kill the monsters before they hit you = very good for holy/dark mage
mystic = higher Critical Damage = you have chance to kill one monster before it hit you = lame

Archmage: For most mage builds, it's not more damage that you need, it's less curing that speeds you up. Pen5 makes sure your spell lands. Spel4 makes sure you are still alive after 'imperil'. Arch is only useful if you can kill so fast that you don't have to cure. That's only for the very, very, very, very, very strong and rich mages (very, that is).


Mystic: we're not trying to kill one monster, are we? We want to kill them all in a few blasts. Don't need crit, we need regular fire power! Crit will most likely hit a monster so hard, it's killed and his kids are killed and his grandkids are killed. But it don't work like that. You can;t kill a monster more than once. Dead is dead. Doesn't matter if you kill it just enough, or with 3 times his health in one go.

You can't kill a monster more than once.

You can actually waste a turn trying to beat your meat to a dead monster.

How much would you guys value a Chaos Token at? I know they're not actually tradeable, but if they were.
