Is it worth it to buy a single ticket for the lottery? or best to save till you can buy a bunch at a time?

I feel like I'm seeing mostly the same people winning the lottery/consolation prizes almost every time :S

it's better to not expect to win any lottery.
because... it's lottery... you could buy 90% of circulating tickets and not getting anything because somebody else could buy just one ticket and hit a jackpot... and that somebody could be you... so buy one now, buy one batch that would be 90% of circulating tickets. You might still not win anything today, but tomorrow it could be you who win the jackpot~ and that tomorrow might be today, so what are you waiting for...

It's lottery after all.

worth it or not is depend to each person, 1 ticket win happened a few times, but of course holding some big chunk of tickets have better chance of winning (and substantially more loss when not winning anything - which isn't that rare either)
in the end, it's back to you, whether you're ok with losing 500 credits/day for hope and high possibility of not getting anything at all, or saving some millions and all-in in one shot - with possibility of not getting anything at all either.
Of course everyone hoping to win when putting their money on a lottery, but for me, worth it or not is about asking yourself if you're ok with parting with said money to buy the lottery when you actually not winning anything, regardless of it's winning chance.

Thanks for the input (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

1 ticket win happened a few times

All three times i did won something. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) But allways when i did buy much more i did allways loose. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

If you have a rapier and a shortsword with identical ADB/Parry/PAB stats, which one is better?

The rapier would be even better when the shortsword had higher ADB.

If you have a rapier and a shortsword with identical ADB/Parry/PAB stats, which one is better?

The rapier would be better due to the Penetrated Armor proc.

Of course, if you are one shoting monsters, which doesn't even let penetrated armor to proc, then shortsword could be better.

Of course, if you are one shoting monsters,

And how should that be possible? Playing on normal? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Full forged slaughter set, optmized stats, spirit stance, DD perks, vase and bubble-gum, etc etc.

My point was that if you are killing monsters before penetrated armor can proc, then you might as well go with the shortsword.

EDIT

Have to reconsider my point when thinking about Boss, SG and God monsters.

Rapier is the way to go when facing them.

So except the stance all things he sure as sure dont have and wont have anytime soon? That makes it imo a really, really weak argument. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Also using vase and gum as melee is nothing but stupid and a waste of a lot of credits. I mean it is hardly cost-effective while playing as mage.

I wan't suggesting the shortsword at all in the first post.

Just wanted to point out that shortsword could be an option in case you can one shot monsters, and with the requirements I listed above, it should be obvious it's a very isolated case.

But then again, SGs and Gods exist, so rapier is the way to go, until they can be one shotted someday. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Yeah, it is obvious for you, me and everyone who actually knows how to play 1H. But for someone who ask if shortsword or rapier would be better when they had the same stats? Do you see what my point is?

Yes, but you don't see mine.

From my post, any player can ask themselves a simple question: can I one shot monsters?

If no, then a rapier is better.

If yes, then you can use a shortsword all you want.

Is this valid enough?

Nevermind, I'm sorry. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

For some reason I keep taking weapon stats as if they were the bottom percentages from Super's percentile ranges script.

I should stop posting when I'm sleep drunk. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Actually i didnt want you to be sorry, just to point out that this could be confusing for people who still have to learn quite a bit about the game. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Nah, it's pretty dumb of me to point out a shortsword could be better when the question specifically said both weapons had same attack and stats.

Checked just now, and chance for PA and Bleed to proc is basically the same average ~22%, so Bleed doesn't even win over in this side.

Makes me realize how much better bleed could be if just it's chance to proc was higher. Maybe double this could make a huge difference already?

But you did miss somethng.

Landing a critical strike will always proc your weapon's status effect.

This is btw also a reason why i prefer Dex over Str.

I'm still contemplating to train Archeologist 10, it cost 8M to upgrade the from 190% to 200% drop rate of artifact so it should only upgrade around 5%.

If I got around 15 PA everyday and 1 PA can be sold for 22k that means I'll got extra credits around (5%*15*22k) = 16.5k and that means I need (8M/16.5k = 485) days for it to break even.

Maybe I should max my equipment first mmm...

It's a matter of preference. If you play a lot, the break-even point for arch is shorter. I for one haven't fully maxed my equip drop training, while scavanger + arch are fully trained.

Yeah my scavenger also already maxed, and arch seems to be the easiest to break even since it doesn't gamble like the equip drop and doesn't rely on abstract numbers of drop quality, but the final cost is just on another level mmm...

I play IW constantly and don't get many dropping though (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)
