Don't use featherweight shards while playing 1H. It "buffs" your evade. Unless you're (way) above 70 burden and using shards will bring you closer to it.

decondelite so i should just rely solely on mana potions and mana elixirs now?

are you stating that the usage of mana potion and elixirs is more economical than feathering all my equipment ?

is it ideal to always enchanting featherwireddght shards on all my equipment?

If you have burden higher than 70 - then you may use few shards to lower it below <70, otherwise it is not necessary at all.
I, personally, never ever used shards to lower down my burden at regular basis.
Currently I have 66,6 burden.
Yeap, three six, I know, hail satan and such.

You can use feather weight however you want IF it doesn't increase your evade.
1H at your level has no need for elixirs. Even mana potion usage should be minimal unless you spam Imperil.

You don't. Don't bother grindfest unless you are a very high level player with ultra strong build. You will be brutally slaughtered. For now you should concentrate on leveling up by playing as many random encounters as you can.

I got 60 burden on my 1H build and if I could I'd raise it.
As for the usage of shards... yeah just use scrolls, draughts, potions, whetever, that'll still be more useful than simply throwing shards that will have next to no effect on your efficiency.
Shards are to be used for Light builds or for Heavy 2H, both of which benefit from a burden as close to 0 as possible. Or even mages, for their staff that still has some burden.

CryXelis

i have never even got past 400 rounds of normal difficulty of grindfest

but if you have 3.x t/s to 4 t/s and huge block by using a force shield with huge block chance and all heavy shielding plates maybe you could do it

1000 rounds of Grindfest at your level 96?
It is too soon for you, even on normal. The catch is - monster's power is increasing with every round, so eventually by the round 600 you will fight with Nintendo-like monsters.
Do not try to jump higher you head =)
Hell, when last time I tried to do GF at PFUDOR - monsters killed me near round 800 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

i never thought grindfest was that tough lol im still newb thanks tho

No, nothing bad at all =)
It is just sounds astonishingly cool, brave and reckless to being able to clear Grindfest at level 96 even on normal difficulty. =)
I think, with best setup you can afford right now you can clear up to round 50. With "bestest" setup and incredibly luck ever. More likely round 30-35.

are you stating that the usage of mana potion and elixirs is more economical than feathering all my equipment ?

Yes - just using mana potions is way easier way to handle with MP cost.
If you are wasting too many MP, then instead of using featherweight shards, do the following:
1. Increase your WIS stats (more MP);
2. Buy Innate Arcane (IA) perks (with every level your MP reduction for auto-casted spells would be decreased a little);
3. Buy Effluent Ether (EE) hath perk (+10% MP);
4. Check that you maxed out your "MP Tank" and "Better Mana Pots" abilities (more MP and more effective using of draughts and potions).

With that setup and additions you should not care about MP at all.

For example, I have 400 WIS, IA5, EE and maxed out abilities, and during the battle I am using, mostly, Mana draught to keep my MP at max and very rarely Mana Potions when my MP below 50%, I don't remember when I used Mana Elixir last time.

thanks for helping me f4tal

ill definitely do waht you said right now if save up enorugh money

hey experts how can i get past round 30 of grindfest? im using dw and plate gears and my abilities are ok i think, my current difficulty is hell, i just want to finish that 1000 rounds any tips?

Sub lvl 100 generally won't be able to finish 1000 round of grind fest. At any difficulty. But hey, let's give advice so you can reach round 100.
1. Utilize DW parry bonus. look for offhand weapon that have good parry.
2. The key is to manage amount of enemy per round to survive, so buff out your overcharge by the end of each round, activate spirit stance, and dish out punishment at the begining of next round. (Master spirit stance, if it available to you).
3. what's your plate suffixes? focus on 'of protection.' it helps, a bit.
4. choose a good weapon to kill fast or choose a weapon that help you survive. bleeding weapon is prefered to kill fast, stunning weapon is for safety. penetrated armor is meh at your level.

I know you haven't unlock that many arena, and don't always have token for ring of blood, so grindfest might be the only way for you stave off boredom until tomorrow.

so grindfest might be the only way for you stave off boredom until tomorrow

Ohh, yes - that is the reason, I suppose.
Then you should play more Random Encounters. They give you more EXP, more credits and better drops. =)

But hey, let's give advice so you can reach round 100.

To be fair, I doubt anyone below level 100 without good, say, magnificent equipment, may clean any round higher 50 in grindfest.
But, hey, I would be glad and happy if anyone will =)

The main problem with Grindfest at low levels, I think, is the amount of monsters. Already near round 40 player will fight with 6+ monsters at once and at round 80 he might fight with 8+ at once.
It is just too much for low-levers (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

f4tal do you have your armors double potencied as juggernatiut+capat\ctior? and if you dont' have them right now, do you plan on doing so in the future?

i also forgot to state that my playstyle permanently relies on spamming imperil because of slow 0.8t/s

with alll my mana pool issues is it also ideal for me to iw service all my armor to double potency armors wit jug+capacitor ?

f4tal do you have your armors double potencied as juggernatiut+capat\ctior?

There are my equipment:
Legendary Shocking Rapier of Slaughter (0) Soulbound, IW 10, forged 25, ADB 32%, Parry 55%
Legendary Zircon Force Shield of Protection (0) Soulbound, Str End Agi, IW 10, forged 40, BLK 83%

Legendary Savage Power Leggings of Warding (0) Soulbound, IW 10, forged 5, ADB 96%
Legendary Cobalt Power Boots of Warding (0) Soulbound, IW 10, forged 5, ADB 68%
, no i don't aim to get Capacitor at all - if I got one - it is good, if no - nothing wrong with it.
Same for Juggernaut.
Currently I have 29,965 HP and 1,957 MP

i also forgot to state that my playstyle permanently relies on spamming imperil because of slow 0.8t/s

Try different browser. maybe another browser will speed things a little for you?

Getting high juggernaut/capacitor potency on equipment may cost very much (even million). Maybe you should buy above mentioned perks first?

thanks a lot for going that far as to post your equipment to help me

and i will in the future buy the peerks you listed earlier
