forge 5 is worth it.

Both shields aren't very good. Force has better base block, but if you don't forge it the other one has better block. Find yourself a legendary, dude!

Well, my budget is really tight

I have to live with whatever Snowflake give me or bought from decondelite.

I have to sell some unused items first.

Isn't that just Waki of the nimble/buckler of the barrier, maybe you can mix in battlecaster if you reaaaaally want?

If one of them isn't battlecaster you will probably need to use a bunch of mana elixirs. Waki of Nimble + Buckler of Battlecaster or Waki of Battlecaster + Buckler of Barrier both work fine and don't ever need mana elixirs. I think Buckler of the Barrier would be only slightly better for survivability, but I don't have a battlecaster waki to test.

Due to lack of damage, or because of no mana conservation?

both have been tested, both work fine. Battlecaster waki is better than battlecaster bucker, because then you can get at buckler of the barrier and more block. Buckler of nimble with buckler of the barrier would give you mana trouble... Too much use of potions and elixirs.

Due to lack of damage, or because of no mana conservation?

Both. At best with Nimble + Barrier you have 90% mana cost (assuming no frugal clothes), and since 1H mage has no counter-resist potency and far less prof, MDB, and EDB, you need to cast many more spells per round. If your mana conservation is good enough you can get away with only using mana potions. With my current waki+buckler I have ~68% mana cost and that is more than enough to clear IWfest without using elixirs. Mana pots recharge slightly faster than I need them most of the time.

I have to sell some unused items first.

That is exactly what everyone's problem is and why I'm constantly strenghtening my restrictions due to items stockpiling. Everyone wants the same damn rapier, force shield, legendary power armor, and ditches the rest. How can you ever expect to sell anything else if no one would buy it in the first place? Even if by some miracle you do sell it anyway, how can one expect you'd sell it to a price that would definitely help you getting your hands on that godly shield that costs an arm and a leg because everyone wants it?

I mean, are all of you somehow expecting that there is some kind of Santa Claus who totally doesn't play rapier 1H and is willing to buy your axes, clubs, 2H, plain phase, power of warding or God knows what other not-meta equipment? I know that there do are oddballs here and there (I am one), but unfortunately for you, as oddbally they can be, these players will only ever buy one equipment inside the immense flood of items, just like you.

So my point regarding what you said is this one: I can give you a small piece of advice, you'd better stop expecting to get money from sales and play the damn game instead, or do bounties. Not-selling all the unwanted not-so-trash will only ever result in you losing your time. Not to mention that the time it takes you to send these things over, you've already spent 10 minutes that could have been used to gather 10k credits, and all the other more or less cool drops that come with them.

To get credits, play the game. Selling unused items should only ever be a bonus, not your main income.

1H-Mage need Mana Conservation. Compare to Staff-Mage, 1H-Mage cures less, I don't need to use Full-Cure even once to play through the PFUDOR Fest. That saves Mana. The only big Problem in the tief PFUDOR Fest is the SP, if you get hit, you lose a lot of SP. But Staff-Mage benifits from Coalesced Mana, which 1H-Mage doesn't have.

I’ll take that advice.

But “unused items” refers to Flower vase and Bubble gum I just sold to DJNoni

I don’t need them in arena.

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) i see.. that's why i don't belive snowflake shrine any and sell them all...

Let's hope sssss2 gets his FoS soon and open "WtB trophies"... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

plot twist 1: ssss2 should already have FoS, afaik
plot twist 2: snowflake isn't actually a deity

*knocks at the door*

hey, i want to speak to your manager!

So does that mean holy/dark need much more defensive forging than elemental does?

probably just some cast speed more

ditto. now, go and try to find a decent buckler of barrier.

you can always offer things at a hyperinflated price until someone falls for it, purchases, your shop starts to be bumped in first page pretty often, you gain an absurd amount of visits and people start purchasing en masse. meanwhile, treat them poorly, claim you're poor, yell at them, raise your prices against an invisible bidder and if someone snatches an item you want at an auction, start to cry and claim that poors won't have their weekly donation.

oh, and don't forget a random post in every page of price check thread just to spread your sig with shop link everywhere (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)



it's been proven to work, and it similar to crappy bars - the more people there are outside of a place (because they phisically cannot stay inside), the more will come thinking they may find good drinks - to the point you may start to sell invisible glasses of ice at 5€ claiming they are cocktails and may not even need a bathroom anymore, since they cannot reach it either way.

That one already has a very good Buckler with a low Price in 01.2017.

Yes, I agree with the persons who posted before me on his/her opinion on whatever item/thing/etc you were talking about.

(my opinion)

oh, people start trying 1 h mage. when in earlier 2016 most ppl agreed this style is no go.

It's not no-go, it's just not better than 1h melee or full mage. But it works, it's a viable style.

Not bad little dragon, but that's not evil enough and still too obvious.
Think bigger, more deceitful, more hurtful, more politically correct. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

You will need them one day too.

hello sires

another may i ask

for 1h, is 200 percent attack accuracy necessary

or i will be just fine with just 150 percent?

thank you

Anything can work if you try hard enough (and have enough money)

It's not necessary. Usually for players beyond lv400, they should reach or get close to 200% without forging on accuracy. 150% is way too low, which I suggest 180+ you good already.
Most attacks you missed are due to monsters' parry, not evasion. So accuracy is never a big deal.

Hello, I'm sorry for my bad English, it's not my primary language (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

I want to ask about ADB stat, I see this stat at equipment's information in the Auction.

As I read EHwiki, it only said ADB is "attack_damage_bonus" and don't tell anymore info about this stat.

So I don't understand what does it means? Could you explain it to me?

How much is it important ? Where to see this stat in equipment popup ? or how to caculate it, for armor and for weapon ?

Ex: At "The Evil's low level stuff" Auction:
[Lig33] Legendary Amber Shade Leggings of the Fleet (Level 307, ADB 39%) (seller: Zorz4) | Start: 200k | Quick bid: 300k
[Lig35] Legendary Zircon Shade Leggings of Negation (Level 323, ADB 0%) (seller: -StarWingS-) | Start: 100k | Quick bid: 150k
[Two08] Legendary Demonic Longsword of Slaughter (Level 306, ADB 50%) (seller: FLY2018) | Start: 150k | Quick bid: 250k
[Two05] Legendary Tempestuous Katana of Slaughter (Level 334, ADB 0%) (seller: blade hunter) | Start: 20k | Quick bid: 30k

Why the first armor has 39% ADB, the Longsword has 50 % ADB but the second Leggings and Katana have no ADB ? How to caculate it ?

Thank you.

It is the damage of that equipment. And you find it up in the top of the equipment info. Right above Attack Accuracy Attack Crit Chance and also above the above the elemental strike if it is a weapon that has one. And the percentage only tells you where in the min max possible base stat the the damage is to be found. Which means the Katana doesnt has no ADB. But the base stat of that ADB is at the minimum possible for a Leg Katana of slaughter, which just means it is not that good. How you calculate it? Well i dont calculate it at all. I just use the Live Percentile Ranges. That one does calculate all the base stats automaticly.
