Is Willow or Redwood a better staff type for Wind mage? Is it possible/realistic for a Wind mage to play without Imperil?

For SG Arenas, the ideal setup is Redwood Staff and Radiant Phases, and 0.79 prof_factor
For GF, Willow, Charged, and ~0.7 prof_factor

What's prof_factor and how do I measure it? What kind of potencies should my Redwood staff have for the SG Arenas?

Wiki: prof_factor = (effective_proficiency - monsterlevel) / monsterlevel

For potencies, go with Penetrator (Counter-Resist) and Spellweaver (Casting Speed).

Monster level is capped at my level, right? Since my effective Elemental Proficiency is currently 716 at level 412, is my prof_factor 0.737?

I dont think it is a viable option to run a wind mage without imperil.

If you want to run a no imperil mage, then you are better going for a dark or holy one.

prof_factor = effective_proficiency / your_level - 1;

716/412 = 1.7378, so your prof_factor is 0.7378.



And, for only SG arenas, 5 Pen and 4 Archmage would be better than Pen+Spell combo.

To recap, Wind mage is not a good suit for Imperil, Tempestuous Redwood Staff of Destruction is ideal for SG arenas with 5 Pen/4 Archmage, my 0.7378 prof_factor is ideal at 0.79, and Radiant is the best prefix for my armor. Thank you all very much.

Finally got proper imperil, want to become a wizard. Got a bit lucky with an auction, have ~70m, already have perks IA5, DD1, VV, EE, no prof ones. What element and what prefixes/suffixes would you aim at in my place?

You mean if i were you? Level 400! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

England is my city, and lv400 is probably within a couple weeks of grind's reach.

Actually, I have no idea how exp curve goes later, but I would still like to have a general idea of what should I watch out for in shops and auctions. It seems finding optimal gear takes time too.

First was thinking about holy, seeing how holy debuff should help damage a bit more. Then found out how willow staff helps imperil style, and non-imperil play is probably too expensive. Should I aim for dark then? Or maybe something like elec would be more efficient with my credits?

Well about holy, the problem is imo much more that it is played mostly by the really rich people, therefore the really good stuff cost a shit tone or even two. For everything more you have to wait for the mage experts to answer you. As much as is would like to help you, mage isnt really a style i am an expert of. Sorry.

Best imperil style elements are wind and elec. Then a bit behind them comes dark. Then a bit behind that comes cold. But, I used to play cold mage and it actually works very well. Dwd in 15min. Grinffest at Pfudor in 1 HR 10 min.

If you have 70m I'd go for wind or electric.
1. Get elemental prof perk.
2. Get deprecation magic perk ( well maybe not so high priority)
3. Find a good staff. 15m should do that. The staff determines the element.
4. Then start collecting cloth gear.

Thanks, noted.

70m? how you guys earn credits?
I get 200k per day, include selling trophies(to blackjac00).
If I sold out other staffs, maybe 250?
it would be next year to get my 70m, if I don't buying staffs.

You either save for some months or buy someone a star so they send you credits for it, so you'd be spending rl money on bitcoin

As Yami said spending real money for bitcoins and sell stars (just one gold star sold would get you around 40 to 50 M), or getting lucky with drop and selling in auction wondrous stuff (like Mars said he did). If you're really good in graphic editing and/or jap there are also bounties.

In summary, only options (in order from easyest to most difficult) are :

1) spending REAL money
2) spending REAL time (working on stuff others want done for credits)
3) having a SHIT TON of luck

And I earn much less then you, and I'm sure I'm not the only one (at this low level at least), quite the contrary (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Edit : I forgot to mention that you can also adopt-a-server or run H@H (which is again a way of spending real money, getting back haths and rewards then boost your revenues; back to point 1 essentially) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

DwD drops alot.

I don't do them but I can tell.
1. Bounty---> sometimes instant tens of millions
2. adopt a H@H--->tons of haths and GPs depending on your bandwidth. Some has 100 haths per day
3. Income from GSs, or catgirls. Catgirls can earn up to 500k worth of credits+haths daily. You will also earn more from monster labs. One GS gives you 3 haths per day+10k credits+10k GP. That's 8m+ per year.
4. Selling GS. Current market price---> 1GS=$100=45m or so
. RM Trades that might be sent to the moon.

BTW, you should get 200k credits+100k worth of trophies(if you have 5 blood tokens to play FSM)+ on average 4~5 precusor artifact@22k each everyday, if you complete all your 1k clear bonus Arenas. Also visit the bazzar to get some cheap HCG that some players have dumped. Also visit item shop so you might get free trophies! from people who do not play HV and do not know the worth of rare trophies. I've bought three times, and got no less than 5m from those (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) free 10+stocking stuffers@150k...I sold all to Nero-Arc
