Well, let us be honest. SDE is of course the best of the best. But just let us call it endgame gear. If your cant affort the money for an high block SDE, just go for a shield with high block. I used an SDA shield for a while and the block from one of them protect you as much as those from an SDE. So if you dont actually mind to loose a bit of HP and PM and MM for a higher block chance. I say go for it. The difference is in the end not that big.

At your level, I've made most of my armor slaughters. Mostly magnificent ones that do not cost too much money. 4 slaughters forged to 5, I finish dwd in 4100 turns. Of course only 3600+turns if I cast imperils. It's always wise to buy mag ones when you don't have budget to buy good ones. But yea, protections also work fine.

As for shields, SDE is too expensive. Actually I don't even think shield is essential at this level, since 1h has such good survivability. I would recommend any L shields that have dex. Mine was SEA but it just works fine.

I asked this some time ago. Uncle, senpai and a few other experts told me that the preference is SDE > DEA > SDA,SEA etc. if you can't afford an SDE, aim for a force DEA with at least 70% BLK.

I could go for a force shield DEA with at least 70% block but I found a force shield SDE with 84% block.
I can't afford the SDE force shield that I'm talking about because I don't have seven million credits.
I don't think that it's worth seven million credits but that's just my opinion.

It's fine using SDA, i'm using it right now....

I'm using it regardless because it's the only legendary force shield that I have right now.
Thanks.

+1 like Uncle said below...

Talking about mixed set, maybe you can try a set like in his signature (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Plz, senpai... Stahp! x_x

I'm looking at my runs with almost 5k turns with tears in my eyes. Even mechas can cry. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

3 hours is a lot... I was thinking about asking for help because DwD was taking a bit more than 1.5 hours... I have no slaughter gear (my weapon is a balance) and don't use monsturbate, and even then it felt a bit scary near the end when monsters did more than regen can heal back (though maybe I was also greedy and didn't use spirit draught as much as should have). If it takes 3 hours is there risk of dying?

Yes, you can die of boredom. Just use Monsterbation, that would speed you a lot. c:

Most equipments hanging in those shopping are overpriced. Some would negotiate if you throw a pm, others whoever are greedy just don't wanna sell gear at a fair price. Usually the price you see isn't the minimum price they are willing to sell at. You know what I mean by that. You will always need to spend more when you buy from others in private than in auction, but some players just set ridiculous price that is multiple times market price.
Don't ever waste money on shit. Only shields that have at least 90% block chance deserve more than 4m.

Speaking of force shield

this one is now in Bazaar
403, Dex End Agi, Mag ranges: BLK 95%, Pmit 54%, Mmit 15%, Dex 59%, End 30%, Agi 90%

Maybe good for temp use

I think I may have found out

My weapon is not yet hollowforged

Will that deal more damage?

Yes. Yes it will. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

I was wondering how on earth it could take 3 hours but still be doable... yeah, not IW 10 would do it...

Hollowforged+Infusions will ramp up your damage output.

I could go for a force shield DEA with at least 70% block but I found a force shield SDE with 84% block.

I have one (cobalt-deflection) with 80% BLK but lv.458.. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) you can PM/MM me if you want...

Plz, senpai... Stahp! x_x

Me : 47xx turns few weeks ago with my mixed set like right now. My clear time is 2.5 hours because i did it while watching discovery channel (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I did several times to some sellers and they're so kind and gave me a nice amount of discount... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I could say that turn/sec is pretty bad too
At later round, monster can outdamage my regen and Health Draughts
So, monsterbate have to pause often since I’m low on health often

As for damage
I have 4933 base dmg

Are you using the alt? It made a huge difference for me once the normal site started lagging.

Edit: Tried doing my RE in the normal site, speed difference is like 2-5x slower

"Overpriced" is a weak word to describe the practices. Let's say that there's a big share of shop keepers who think that everything they have is oh so valuable because they had that one drop in a lifetime and they obviously don't go to auctions often enough.

And there are also those who are scammers on purpose, waiting for random ignorants to drop by and get hooked. Because hey the ignorant one is not very patient and very picky regarding prefix, suffix and maybe even ADB or God knows what.

But frankly we can't really blame anyone, except the ignorants who get scammed by buying randomly without the advice of an expert beforehand. "Caveat emptor", yada yada.

I remember Noni suggesting to have some sort of place to "rate" the shops to help protecting the newbies, but I was against that due to people who would be abusing that system and a big majority of players who wouldn't give a shit to it, except to trash one shop when they're not happy. Let the players learn their mistakes by making them. And if anything too serious ever happens, we can do something against the abusive shopkeeper.

Honestly, when the day comes that I have enough credits to actually buy good equipment, and I scout out some good items, I swear I'm just gonna come right in here and ask everyone what they think of the item/price LOL

Hey, I'm not expert, and this thread *IS* 'Ask the experts', right? No reason not to get a second eighth or ninth opinion.

My opinion
Some shopkeepers didn't renew their equip's price very often,
and the acceptable price changed after several months

So there were both cheap equip and expensive equip in the store
Because the cheap one would be sold soon
so the equip AVAILABLE in the store seemed overprice(because nobody bought them)

btw,is there any goold stuff in next auction? i wanted a better staff and a prof cloth at affordable price (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Frankly, not updating the prices often can be excused, at least for those who do have plenty of things to deal with, like me. Not for the other ones who only have their WTS which they don't feed every week with new stuff.

As for the content of next week's: no idea, I don't watch what will be in there before I actually start preparing it. I do can say that I get plain Leg prof cotton regularly, that I usually set it at 100k start price, but if you want it to be Charged, well... that's extremely rare for one to be dropped below Lvl350.

After playing in alt and with IW10

I use spirited OFC at the begining of each round with 2-3 SG

Haven't tried infusion yet

This is the result (PFUDOR DwD)

Should I stay on PFUDOR or play on something easier?

This depends on you I'd say. I am doing the hourly PFDWD run daily for the guaranteed Mag quality arena bonus. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
