QUOTE(sigo8 @ Sep 8 2017, 05:44)  Also a different thing that needs updateing in the wiki.
Also some pics to show the exact boundary line.
uhu. thank you. QUOTE(Drksrpnt @ Sep 8 2017, 08:18)  I highly recommend getting at least IA2, preferably 3, for the Spark of Life and Spirit Shield autocasts. Protection is nice too. It's so worth it. This is for 1H by the way.
For DW I have IA5, just because all the buffs are pretty much necessary for survival.
yep, IA3 for 1H is enough already. all the other styles could actually take use of IA5, but still Protection has the lowest priority. QUOTE(BlueWaterSplash @ Sep 8 2017, 08:39)  At level 260 I find all those buffs necessary or helpful so they aren't a waste. I don't cast Spirit Shield because that's useless at my level.
actually it starts to become useful *exactly* at lv265 (that is, if you upgrade its ability). give it another try.

I've actually been casting Spirit Shield all this time, only through channeling and never manually. I typically throw it on once per arena for the pretty picture when I've got nothing else to channel. I just hit level 265 but I won't have the ability points for another 10 levels, and I'm flat broke for the foreseeable future. I still make only 10,000 credits a day. Even though I did it myself, item worlding my rapier made me poor since it doesn't drop much money.
Spirit Shield with the previous upgrade already had a pretty strong effect but as Stu said, the spirit drain was too high and whatever benefit Spirit Shield gave wasn't worth the MP to cast it normally. In very rare instances its effect hurt me.
Spirit Shield with zero or one upgrade was actually a decent poor man's Spark. I noticed that it was destined to change into a powerful damage reduction buff, but in the transition period (two and three upgrades) it's a confused Shield.

you may want to remove some APs from some spells you don't use. or start doing SG arenas at low difficulty (Hard?) + T&T at mid-high one, they should reward you something in the 80k range (well, maybe 50 since you cannot access DWD yet) without too much effort, and will help you with monster lab. they'll require a bit of time though.

its effect is to shift part of the damage from your HP tank to your SP tank. if you prefer, SP tank becomes expendable as well and helps to keep you alive. not chips imo.

Does anybody know roughly when optimum server load is usually? I work shiftwork both days and nights so I keep an irregular sleeping schedule. I'd rather be fighting when server side isn't as busy.

You should go read the Poor Players Club thread, just to have a different Point of View on poverty (like "Oh, I grind & grind, and barely make 300k a day (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) ") (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If you post there, and get lucky, maybe you can collect some donations, who knows (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I seems to me Playing IW is more challenging than arena Is it true or may be due to different weapon I use in IW? Which is it? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I mean to ask that is it true that at same difficulty playing IW is more difficult then arena? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (PS:- Just to be safe, i Asked query in two forms because lately I am being misunderstood too many times (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) )

Yes, IW is definitely much harder than arenas on the same difficulty because the monster damage goes up 2% each round Source: https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Item_WorldThe fact that you're not using your main gear also matters of course

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (PS:- Just to be safe, i Asked query in two forms because lately I am being misunderstood too many times (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) ) Difficulty of IW depends on the tier of equip. Peerless is very difficult. In more detail: the difficulty of the last 10 to 20 rounds of IW gets very very difficult. In Peerless IW, I need scrolls & infusions to survive the last 10 rounds. Arena's don't have that big increase in difficulty.

QUOTE(Scremaz @ Sep 7 2017, 21:48)  yes, i always forgot to add a Mag section. thank you for remembering me. use this table meanwhile: [ docs.google.com] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gpJ...#gid=1334359925Thanks a lot another question: in the excel PXP335~348 is followed after Magnificent. but in wiki it says PXP0 is 304-348 for Mag. so if i have a Mag which has just to say 331 at PXP0, is the forge cost the same as an Exq, that is to say first cost is 4 low and 2 mid?

QUOTE Replenishment restores 11 points of magic. Regen restores 420 points of health. Your spike shield hits Mikuru Asahina for 27 points of fire damage.

QUOTE(zcb535359 @ Sep 8 2017, 10:14)  ... in wiki it says PXP0 is 304-348 for Mag. I think this information is incorrect or outdated. As I recall, the lowest PXP I've ever encountered for a Mag was 313 and the highest 379 (Arcanist type). QUOTE(tecche @ Sep 8 2017, 10:44)  [attachmentid=108225] Guys? What the fuck just happened?

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) If anyone knows the answer, tell us. It will be of great help. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Did I unlock some Tekken combo fumbling on my keyboard? were you perhaps playing on two different pcs? or did you close your previous window and resumed your play after a while?

My monsters all died 3 months ago. I let them die right before I began to item world my rapier because I knew I could not support them in there. I hope to start buying my first crystal packs from this forum soon. I do all the arenas and rings on pfudor and it's no effort for me at the moment, just requires time. My connection speed at best is 1 seconds per turn, although I'm so slow I click on average 2 seconds per turn. I wonder if players far away from the server might be forced to play slower?

Is there a way to check original Base value of Upgraded /IW equipments before they were upgraded. Or What I want to know is how to compare two equipments when one is not upgraded and other is upgraded i wants to compare them only based on orignal base value (to know which is better solely based on orignal base stats) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Try Scremaz's Forge_optimizer. IIRC you can find it in his signature.
edit: Yup in the signature.
