A lot of e-hentai users get obsolete, valuable trophies, but not all of them play HV and know the value of them. Occasionally, you would see them dumped in item shop.

Stocking stuffers, mysterious teeth, Dinosaur eggs, and even Tenbora boxes that are worth at least 3m each.

Item Shop Bot won't buy obsolete items so if you are lucky enough to visit Item Shop one night and another player sold their antique there.

Some teeth or some eggs can make you 1m each if not 2. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

One more question regarding mages. If I chose to build a wind/elec mage, what staff should I get? Reading the wiki page with ranges ensured me that Redwood owns Willow in EDB and proficiencies except deprecating one.

Does Willow's deprecating prof outweight Redwood's bonuses? Or am I missing something else?

If i am not totaly wrong. No mage does actually care about bonus deprecation. Just like they allways start to curse when they get an economizer potency. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Not really(I being too critical, uncle (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) I only expose truth, so sometimes I don't pay attention to word choice...). For wind/elec mages, willow of destructions are always the best.

Even in terms of fire/cold mages, willows can outperform redwood in GFs and IWs if you have significantly high EDB and DDs, because of the accuracy of deprecating spells and counter-resist.

If you are only calculating the magic scores, surely with redwoods you can have higher ones than willows, but this is not the case in real fight especially when imperil mages kill all monsters in only 1~4 shoots, and when you have enough damage already from DDs and forgings. You take less turns by not recasting imperils or being resisted by unimperiled monsters.

Higher elemental profs from redwoods give no mitigation bonus when you can reach 0.7 prof easily with only shoes. My calculation tells me that a elementalist can reach full mitigation reduction when 0.72 prof factor. I am not sure about it though.

Considered the benefits of counter-resist and deprecating profs, redwoods and willows have almost equal performance in terms of DwDs. As for GFs and IWs, and other runs surely willows are better.

That's a lie.

That is really harsh for a statement that startet with (if i am not totally wrong) dont you think? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Sounds quite convincing, much thanks for the explanation.

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.

He said "Got a bit lucky with an auction", so I assume his items got high bids.

Twice more EDB and extra elemental/supportive prof < Archmage and x3 deprecating prof? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I've noticed a 12.67% Total EDB difference in terms of fire/cold redwood vs. willow. according to wiki. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I guess this is significant difference in only EDB. But if we consider how EDB affects turns and how failing to imperil and resisted by monsters affect battle and turns, I can't tell the difference as it's too complicated.
Also Lastwizard tried fiery oak staff of focus. And there is a 39-turn difference in a 631-round GF. I guess there is left to discuss about as regards to fire/cold mage staff choice....

Both tried PFFest 631 Rounds with Aether Shard + Featherweight Shard on Saturday. Highlight:

LFRD: 5,908 turns
Used: MP Potion: 108 / Scroll of Life: 29
Spell: Arcane Focus: 10 / Cure: 792 / Fiery Blast: 595 / Flames of Loki: 654 / Full-Cure: 126 / Imperil: 2576 / Inferno: 641 / Regen : 11

LFOF: 5,947 turns
Used: MP Potion: 61 / Scroll of Life: 17
Spell: Arcane Focus: 7 / Cure: 793 / Fiery Blast: 696 / Flames of Loki: 708 / Full-Cure: 110 / Imperil: 2486 / Inferno: 704 / Regen : 9

Oak staff of focus doesn't sound that bad, at least less items were consumed.
Will start improving my Surtr gear and see how it goes at deep fest.

Willow has counter resist which makes it superior

...

A few more supplementary point:

My tested equipment is quite bad and low EDB MDB (only Staff and prof cotton pants are forged, considered as beginner/cheaper set) which make sense that Oak could have similar performance to Redwood. As spell damage is bottle-necked, more spell damage doesn't help that much for Fire and probably Cold in GF.

Also Oak has lower base than Redwood in terms of MDB EDB Prof, which make sense that Oak is sightly worse than Redwood in GF turn/round:
Legendary Fiery Redwood Staff of Destruction (MDB 74%, Fire EDB 49%, Elem Prof 62%) Fully forged base: (MDB 84.47, Fire EDB 27.02, Elem Prof 10.58)
Legendary Fiery Oak Staff of Focus (MDB 99%, Fire EDB 86%, Elem Prof 77%) Fully forged base: (MDB 52.77, Fire EDB 24.5, Elem Prof 8.37)

I am not sure if higher/extremely higher EDB gear/forge could make the gap bigger. But this is not the case for beginner.

With enough staff forge, willow should easily outperform redwood in GF/IW. But for Arena, as long as you can easily survived with your gears, Redwood should be better for Fire/Cold. It depends on your target usage. Fire/cold mage for Arena only: Redwood; GF/IW: Willow

Thinking about proficiency factor, either I'm critically stupid, or the explanation on wiki sucks. Got 2 prof items, staff and cap, 13.61 base elemental prof total. Natural base prof taken as 525. Then according to next formula

You can calculate the expected achievable prof factor at level 500 of a set of equipment. This value is a good indication of the proficiency factor achievable at any level. Start with your expected [Natural base prof] at level 500, which will be probably be between 500 and 525 (600 is theoretically possible). Then use the following 5 steps:

step 1: [Equip base prof] = [Staff base prof] + [Cloth_1 base prof] + [Cloth_2 base prof]
step 2: [Full forged prof] = [Equip base prof] * 1.342
step 3: [Level 500 equip prof] = [Full forged prof] * 15
step 4: [Prof with Perk] = [Natural base prof] * 1.1 + [Level 500 equip prof]
step 5: [Level 500 Prof factor] = [Prof with Perk] / 500

I'm getting 1.70 as [Level 500 Prof factor]. Wiki tells I should aim for at least 0.68, but this is kinda stupid, with this formula you always have at least 1.00 even nude. Does 0.68 translates to 1.68 in this formula?

use this spreadsheet
or install HV utility. Your prof factor will be showed under equipment section if you wear cottons already.

Or just effective prof/level, then minus 1.

Yeah, the wiki page is just inconsistent and omits the last step of substracting 1. Guess I'm cool with one cotton and 4 phases. Thanks again for the help, appreciate it.

Also, in the PFFest stats above I've noticed Scroll of Life usage, what's the reason behind it? Wiki says it uses 25% of base spirit on proc unlike the spell's 50%, is it for spirit hungry moments?

I totaly have no idea what i am doing any advice i know the wiki doesnt say anthing details at this level.

SoL is good for reducing spirit drain especially in deep fest if your gears are not good and fast enought tp kill monsters.

But SoL I used in first half of fest mainly is to test the minimum frequency of triggering spark of life.

You can check 4 places if you want more info for what to do at your level:

- If you still have some question, ask here

And, when reading the first page of this thread, be sure check all the Free Store, they help a lot mmm...

Just one question. Is it possible that you have mixed up different armor types in a single build? When i see a dw build with less evade as my 1H power armor set does raise such a question. And your armor proficiencies are looking as if you really have. When you want to play DW, you should play it with leather/shade, not with cloth, not with heavy. Stats are looking okay. Until i have a more precise question, i have nothing more to say.
