I've got 4/5 Innate Arcana hath perks, and I was wondering if Spirit Shield was worth the 1000 hath to push into my slot. As far as I can see, it limits the amount of damage I can take at once, but drains my spirit reserves—but I definitely have a lot more health than I do spirit, so I'm not sure about putting it on Innate Arcana.

Most definitely (read this wiki entry). Usually Spirit Shield is the priority to put on IA slot, along with Spark. At your level, maybe the mobs are too weak to give serious damage. If you unsure, just don't do it. There will be a day you might be defeated without Spirit Shield, but maybe just not yet. Quick (stupid) question, melee or mage? IA 4 usually unlocked by mage player. Because recasting buffs is a hassle. 1H, only need 2 IA slot.

╮(︶︿︶)╭ If opens every 30m, exactly... ┐(︶▽︶)┌ then how it is random? It surely sounds very determined encounter to me
If really wants to be random then he needs to open at different intervals, preferably using coin flip to choose proper timings ╮( ̄~ ̄)╭ and sometimes click on wrong link and miss to be actuallys random ヽ( ̄~ ̄ )ノ
Now explains to me why ppl say that having forge or hollow in staff is bad stuffs?

Well, okay, but I'd likeone of those cute little drawings that you always add in your posts to thank me. - Forging staff is hard work. It may take >150 amnesia shards. Then when you finally get pen5 spel4 (or pen5 arch4 in some cases) you want to get to use the staff in regular playing as soon as possible. So why waste time on 2-4 rounds of IW? The outcome, hollow forged, is quite useless. You don't use the void strike in a staff, you only use it for casting spells. And featherweight shards are practically free as you get more than you ever can consume. - And some of us had (have?) a shimmer of hope that Tenboro changes the 10th potency for staff from hollow forged to something amazing, something that we can only dream about. It has been hinted that that would have been on the to-do list once. But that is a long long time ago. - Only reason to continue IW is renaming your staff. Bad enough that you play with your staff every day, but to give it a name? And it gets hard. To find a good name that fits, I mean.

Is there a way to select multiple items in the salvage menu or can we only salvage one item at a time?

"Ask experts". I believe this is the place for these questions: thanks in advance. Lets go!
1) I am around level 95, two hands and heavy armor (typical warrior). I already read a lot the wiki, and saw that "more than 90 burden completely remove attack speed bonus". I have more than. 100 burden. My doubt is if haste still works for me, or is a waste of time and MP to cast it.
2) how can I keep my MP full besides using mana draught and mana potion? I am missing something else that refills MP?
3) I manage to win my first ring of blood. I did it on Nintendo difficult and dropped 2 artifacts. I saw that I can trade them for itens on shrine, but right now I am lacking credits. I checked WTS forum to see if they have any value, but only found people selling "precursor artifacts" . What are them? Same thing as I have dropped? It is like a generic name for all artifacts? Or the artifacts that I dropped are useless and no body even bother to try sell them? Artifacts names: manbearpig tail and lock of blue hair.
That's all. Thanks again!

1. haste should still work. if you're in doubt, you may compare the situation before and after having casted it to see if it "gifted" you some turns (which is its effect, btw). also, you may think about replacing plate armors with leather 2. you can boost your WIS or using elixirs. also, you may need to lower your ITR. either by replacing Plates with Leathers, or using Feather shards. 3. quite unlickely you dropped two artifacts. actually, those two trophies and their combined worth is roughly 1.5k. in case you also have two artifacts, their worth is 23k each. main difference is that trophies can give you equips when shrined, artifacts can give you consumables, PABs or hath.

You found the right place. Lots of friendly experts here, you'll get a good answer fast. 1) At your level, basically any style works. I suggest you read the Wiki Advice at this stage. 1) I suggest you use leather armors at your level, that will reduce your burden. Don't use heavy armor with 2h weapon. Then burden should not be an issue. 2) No other way. If you have credits, or Hath, you can get Innate Arcana perk, that will help keeping mana consumption a bit lower. And you can get draughts for free in the WTS section of the forum. Also some free credits, there. 3) You got 2 'trophies', not 'artifacts'. Sell them to the highest bidder (blackjac00) in the WTB section of this forum. Or shrine them for gear, but don't expect to get good gear (chance is low, but there is always a chance for good gear)

Precursor artifact (¬‿¬ ) is artifact that came before other artifacts, that is why he is a precursor (´• ω •`)ノ even though he is frontier pioneer he is still "artifact" nonetheless Tail of pig ( ´(00)ˋ ) and hair are known as "trophy" and you can sells them too to peoples ヽ( ˋ(00)´ )ノPrecursor artifact = artifact Manbearpigtail and lock of blue hair = trophies Both can be sold to other peoples (check WTB section of forum), just precursor is more expensives... Don't think and just sells it to someones on forums ヽ( ⌒ω⌒)人(=^‥^= )ノ shrining requires you praying to Snowflake /(^ x ^)\ for good result which usually do not go well as Snowflake is temperamental ☆⌒(> _ <)

I noticed mages get a lot of bonus accuracy from cloth and staff abilities. Does having spell accuracy above 100% do anything (ex: apply resist penetration/evade penetration)?

Yes, up to 200% it has the effect that strong monsters are hit as well. Above 200% it does nothing. Tip: at your level, playing mage is not the best way to earn credits or to level up. Mage is so difficult, that it can only be played on high difficulties after level 320 or so when you can use 'imperil'. And playing high difficulty is better, for credits, equipment drops, item drops, and leveling-up.

If you don't care about item drops or real world speed of play, technically lowest difficulty is best to earn the most credits, relative to your level.

hrmm maybe my melee build is bad or something i switched to mage at around lvl 25 and switched to x10 xp difficulty and had a much easier time doing arena/grindfest although i don't have anything to compare to time efficiency wise.

BTW let's just hypothetically ( ̄ω ̄;) says I have a staff with penetrator 5 anihilator 3 economizer 1 It is not like the other more sought ones like spellweaver and archmage are super important outside of Fest, for someone who will only do arena, right ('~`;) ? It is not worthy to bother about them in this case and lose precious time that could be better spends, right (-_-;)?

At your level spellweaver would help you finish arenas with fewer cures so I would still choose it over the other potencies. Still, if it's not a staff worth 5-10M+ pen5 is already pretty good to start maging, you don't have to get perfect IW from the start.
