Where should I start putting AP? I have the health and mana tank boosts filled, the item/aura slots, shield, heal, and poison and weaken are full.

Get haste if you can have, poison if want (useful for bosses), and if you're only a melee character, start filing the SP+OC boost to get more attack power damage.

For starters, try to always keep 9 AP "on the side" so that when you get to the next Level Of Ten, you will have those AP ready in hand to stock up your HP, MP, and SP Tanks (the SP is used to determine Overcharge; and the more Overcharge you have, the more powerful your Physical Attacks will be once it is fills up on a ratio of 2:1; 100% Overcharge, for example, means that your physical attacks have 50% more damage than they did when your Overcharge was at 0%).

As spells like 'Weaken' and 'Shadow Barrier' become available, snap them up, too.

But right now, at Level 40-ish, you can concentrate on accumulating and storing A-Points until new spells come available in higher and higher Tiers, then ask about whether or not to acquire them them individually.

Oh yeah, if and when you decide to get a Spell that requires multiple A-point contributions to fully power it up, try to wait until such time as you can do so.
That's because not only are most Spells simultaneously near-useless if you only partially power them up, but most of them are hideously 'expensive' in terms of Mana Cost as well until you fully power them up, which in many cases can lower their Mana Cost by as much as half.

Well, you can start saving up for haste, along with the mana and health tanks of the next level. For melee chars, I think that you'll be spending little APs until tier 7, where you get bewilder, very useful against bosses. You can also put points into EXP, if you want.

Actually, I think putting points into EXP is much more efficient than getting SP tanks and then OC boost. Because for only 3 points, you level up 9% faster, comparing to 8 points for 5% with OC boosts. For your current level, they produce the same effect. When you start to do bosses for credits, it'll be different, but it's a long way off.

I just gave snowflake a mithra's flower I won, and she gave me a crappy leather piece for it. Does she ever give anything decent?

Yes. But most of the time no. I find just turning them in for staffs is the best. You always profit, as staffs sells much higher than the rest. Don't bother relying on the shrine for equipments (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Noted. There is a jump at 40. Not in difficulty of fighting, but in lack of motivation. I'm just gonna take a break from grinding over the weekend, that should restore my morale.

I have to modify what ChosenUno said, at least a little.

There's a reason why many of the higher-level Bosses and all of the Legendaries' Trophies are missing from the Bazaar -namely, because they are in high demand, and that's because the more powerful Bosses (the 1 or 2 before Real Life) and all of the Legendaries have EXCELLENT chances to give you high-quality/high-powered Weapons and Armors when you substitute them at the Shrine.

So, yeah, if for whatever reason you have Trophies won by lower Bosses, do what ChosenUno said and exchange them for Staves -but if you get your hands on (read: buy from the Bazaar) the trophies of the strongest monsters, then take your chances by picking the Armor/Weapon Type of your choice in the Shrine.

There's no guarantee that you'll win The Kickass Item Of The Most Awesome, but you significantly increase your odds of doing so the better the sacrifice is.

Kinda depends.. Not all the stuff given out is Crude, I got quite some Fine quality items from it. And when my gear is mostly Fair to Average, it's sometimes worth the shot.

Oh, and since I'm on here, I have a question: is it better to sell Artifacts or to sacrifice them? Thx!

You can sell them to people in the forums for much more than you can get selling them to the shop, so if you sell them do it that way. One of the possible rewards is an ability point, and those tend to be useful. On the other hand, 10k credits is also useful. If you do choose to sell, you should seriously consider starting to sacrifice them when the cost of training Ability Boost becomes comparable to what you can get for an artifact.

I've gotten a total of 1 piece of wearable equipment from the shrine which was this. And since I probably donate 30 times as many trophies as you do, I wouldn't count on it if I was you.

Note: That is including multiple black t-shirts, unicorn horns, and all of the legendary's trophies.

Someone said b4 that NA is the monster's speed. So is it 300-NA?

NA = Next Action. It's the number of "ticks" until the monster gets its first turn. Just off the top of my head, I'd say that number is probably half of its action time.

I've started putting AP into haste. What 3 auras should I have active?

Since you're melee, use the first 4 auras (if didn't have the first refined aura trained I suggest to save C for it), and activate/upgrade in a balance way. I'm IW now so I can't see the auras right now but the order I use is that:
4th,1st,3nd,2rd.
Or if C aren't a problem, active all the auras as you level up, so you can gain more XP = level up faster.

Credits are something I don't come by very often. I have orange, yellow, and green active. I was going to activate red next. So I chose right?

Sounds about right. BTW the amount of credits you get picks up dramatically as you go along, since you get longer arenas, better quality drops, and such. It's definitely worth your while to save up enough for some aura slots and Pack Rat training. Then, of course, you want AP out the wazoo.

I never do areas though.

Going through arenas is where you can get some good cash.

How much would a token of healing sell for in my shop? Also, how much could I sell a token of blood for?
