These days, what are the recommended potencies for an elemental destruction staff?

Penetrator 5 + Spellweaver 4

If you don't do Grindfest at PFUDOR, you could also work with a couple of Archmages in stead of Spellweavers

Depends if you're playing imperil, also depends on your budget. You won't usually get radiant or charged for cheap.

Thanks every respond.
I dont know how to use most quote. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)
I see some cold cloth is cheap in auction.
Radiant 300k Charged 800k.
And add J5 maybe can buy set not over 8m.
I think that is very cheaper than holy.
(The holy cloth sold for 70m in auction.That was scared me.)

I can cost more,but i don't know if it's worth it.
I play 1h half year,want to faster to clear.
So...i want to buy same toys to try it.
Which one is used in imperil,Radiant or Charged?
And which one is faster?
Thank you for reading my boring question. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Imperil: charged. Better and faster (except for SG arena's).

Is there a limit to the number of artifacts you can get in a day or am I just having bad luck getting more artifacts from arenas?

Just bad luck.

I want to play cold Mage with cheap.

Depends on what you mean by "cheap" (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
~2-5m a piece for armor
~5m for a staff
~5-15m for IW depending on snowflake
~5-10m for decent forging
And you can run pretty damn well

Treesloth hiatus from taking trophies mmm...~?
So I guess my trophies will just rot in the inventory then mmm...

What is wrong with pilling them up in your inventory? I do that since months now and someday all those trophies will get me another star. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Just made it to level 200. How viable would it be to continue going 2H mace of slaughter and maybe heavy armor for the next hundred or so levels? I've been using a mace of slaughter weapon type since the beginning and the thing is, I've really grown accustom to it. Being able to hit multiple enemies along with hitting them with multiple stun is really nice and really helps keep the regen going. I really can't imagine not having it. I know the wiki recommends going rapier + shield at this level but I was looking up the rapier and single targeting + skills don't seem all that great to me. In fact, it looks like things will be a lot slower to me since I'll be facing 1 enemy at a time. Any thought?

Talking about trophy, are people still sending them to blackjack even after the mod warning?

1h will be slower, but gradually you won't even clear the battle with 2h without scratching your head bald.
but, any playstyle will work if you decrease the difficulty.
1h is simply the shortest and easiest way you could clear the highest difficulty with the most 'reasonable' budget. literally no playstyle have better survivability than 1h as it have innate "passive" stun against monster.

Also worth noting 1H's counterattacks are actually pretty good. 2H clear speeds should be faster but sooner or later you'll find the gear required for surviving is a lot harder to find than an easily built defensive 1H set

Holy hell, is the IW drop rate for the button lower than arenas? I've done 5 PFIWs on legendaries and got 3 buttons in total...

Edit: Apparently all I had to do was to complain - got 2 on the 7th run including the button I needed XD

I just hope they drop more evenly.




I'm wondering which of the following is more profitable:

(assume unlimited ED, time, equipment)

PFUDOR IW - 100 rounds / 8.5-9.5min

PFUDOR GrindFest 1000 rounds / 100-105min


with 90% on all drop trainings, token II, Crys III


Currently, I just switch between the two but preferring IW.

I'm wondering which of the following is more profitable:

Well, in the end you get much more crystals out of the fest, but the IW does allow you do you to do two more RE and when we take an overall time of 9 minutes each, you are around 10 minutes faster. But still, in the end Fest gives you overall more. Even when it is just crystals.

GF:
+bonus crystals
+5000c at the end (derp, thanks uncle)
-1 stam to start
-harder to finish all your REs (can try to keep track of the round around when it's 25-30 minutes before it ends, and "save" the encounter there with hv utils or such for double RE; still need to be on very often to finish all 24 RE

IT:
+iw pxp (perhaps can "sell" as an IW shop; not sure how much c/pxp is for the cutoff point)

from personal experience grinding multiple 2hr GF sessions is really tiring though. I'm not spamming pffests anymore outside of special drop events (i.e. current easter)

+1000c at the end

And with +1000c you mean of course 5k right?

Okay, so more PFFEST, thanks for answering!

Agree, so I probably should do more right now as this is the most profitable time of the year I guess?

IW shop is getting saturated it seems, I just IW all of my different collections (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

How many crystarium levels are needed to net a consistent profit taking into account the 200k energy drink cost? Is 4 enough?

Also, I think melee gf grinding is just too hard to do...If you want to grind gf, I think it's better to have a mage build that can handle it sub 1hr lol...otherwise too much strain (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

I thought 3 is enough, of course the more the better (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Melee GF is quite rewarding, it gives eyesore, wrist pain, and headache, and in addition, it drains your excessive energy of the day.
