I'm sorry, but I can't remember which of the arena levels that have higher chances of giving out tokens as bonus rewards. I know the highest levels are a given, but what are the lowest levels where the tokens are more likely?
Also, is there a hot key that will allow me to copy my stats and display them in the forum so that I can ask for advice on what I should adjust?

Impact of difficultyhigher difficulty: more exp, more credit, much better drops. Normal? I wouldn't go so low. And as you level up, the benefit of normal gets smaller and smaller, as the monsters get harder to kill even at lower difficulties. If you must: fastest is DW, I think. Or mage, but I don't think you gain the full benefits at your level yet. And perhaps 1h heavy with rapier is even fastest of all melee styles, because of PA and parry?

I'm thinking about 1h mage and I do know that I need a battlecaster weapon and buckler of the barrier right? What kind of armor should I be getting? How much mp does 1h mage use? Does it use a lot of mp?

If you only want to play Pfudor Arena, don't use 1H-Mage. If you want to play 100 Floors Pfudor IW, you can use Battlecaster Weapon and Battlecaster Buckler. If you want play through Pfudor Fest, you may try Battlecatser Weapon and Barrier Buckler. Using Buckler of Barrier can be safer and save SP Potion, I use Battlecaster Buckler and it costs a lot of SP after 650 and I have to use 4-5 SP Elixir after 800. Yes, Battlecaster Buckler saves a lot of MP, but low SP is dangerous and low MP isn't, you can find your own Balance.

I'm not interested in playing Pfudor Arena, Pfudor Grindfest or Pfudor Item World yet anyway and I didn't know there was a battlecaster buckler. Thanks for the info. QUOTE(Uncle Stu @ Jun 7 2018, 07:44)  Except the weapon and the shield afaik it should more or less the same as a normal mage.
So I should use phase or cotton? Okay.

Just do as Uncle says, use a normal Set of Mage, I use my 4 Phase 1 Cotton (Gloves), you can also use Shoes instead.

I tried 1H mage for a while. Full cotton is useless because you get zero damage bonus. 1 piece of cotton + 4 phases worked better for me than full phase, because with full phase you'll get a lot of 90% and 75% resist of your spells on monsters.

I'm still considering not trying 1h mage yet but I will try to find 1 piece of cotton and 4 phases to use. I hope they won't cost too much but they probably won't. This post has been edited by PersonaFan08: Jun 7 2018, 18:24

Correct me if i am wrong. But isnt it more important for a 1H mage to look for equipment that gives your prof? Iirc to compensate for the lack of a staff and by that way the lack of Penetrator?

Iirc to compensate for the lack of a staff and by that way the lack of Penetrator? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Why do the most Elemental Mages use 5 Phases before 0.82? Because we don't have enough Damage with those old Equipments, so the Prof Gears don't work as well as it does today, You know, charged Cotton wasn't that popular and expensive at that Time. And now, what lacks the 1H Mage, when we don't use a Staff? Yes, base Damage. That's also why 1H Mage must use Imperil, no Imperil no Damage. So I recommand 4+1, which can be used both for Staff and 1H. For Counter-Resist, if Imperil fails, it's not dangerous for 1H Mage, just cast it again. For offensive Spells, we use Elec to increase decrease the Counter-Resist of Monsters. This post has been edited by chjj30: Jun 7 2018, 19:39

You shouldn't try 1H mage yet, because you need 0 turn cooldown Faster Imperil, which can be maxed at level 310. But you can use spells as 1h to increase proficiency while you level up.

I'll wait until I get to level 310 or later. I have been increasing my proficiencies for several years now. Thanks for the info. This post has been edited by PersonaFan08: Jun 9 2018, 04:25

Greetings, Experts; If combining power with other non-power heavy armor types, what would the Experts want to take into consideration? Any suggestions for optimal combos? Edit: I fight melee and have never used heavy before, but want to give it a try. For a start I have: This post has been edited by tamiroff: Jun 9 2018, 11:00
