Common thought is that 1H is the best style especially starting at around your current level, however that's a tiny bit outdated. Dual Wield is underappreciated and is probably the best style before level 200, and also one of the best styles after level 300.
So I would say to consider your equipment and proficiencies. If all your equipment sucks, or you have good equipment for 1H (a good weapon and good heavy armors) this is the time to change.
If you have extremely good Dual Wield equipment (good weapons and good light armors) and zero 1H proficiency, you may consider keeping your current style.
It's nice to know more than one style, alleviates boredom and can help with using scraps or whatever good equipment you find in the future, so overall I would recommend switching to 1H at your current level, but keep your Dual Wield in mind.

So what's up with Orbital friendship cannon? I dropped fat stacks on 21 ponies way early in the day, and after not getting it figured it'd come with the dawn event, but I'm still distinctly satellite cannon-less. Have a few images showing where I imagine it'd show up in the dropdown settings ability menu and in-battle skills, as well as a headcount of the ponies in question. Is there just a stupid long delay to account for the logistics that go into the launch of a fresh love-and-caring powered death ray?

I am curious about the monster system for the game. Should I go through the arena or should I just stick with the random encounters for getting good stuff like equipment and items. Also, should I go for the tougher blood battles with the blood tokens or should I go through the grindfest?
Also, I am curious about the orbital friendship cannon. I am still a ways to go but I am curious about getting the ability once I obtain all the 21 needed figurines.

How does it feel to run it with max Scav-Quartermaster-LoTD and Crys5? Is it more profitable than doing arena?

AYYYYYI've waited 12 hours I think. Read somewhere before that OFC appear after dawn next day, but 9 hours after dawn it hadn't appear, so I panicked.

21 figurines is easier to be bought. See my level? 2 figurines dropped for me so far. So far! IT'S DAMN RARE! I think you should have know about equipment quality already. Percentage of good among the trash & so so is quite consistent. So, even though good stuff almost always dropped from RE, you still need to crank up the number. My Leg Power Slaughter Boot dropped from 30 round arena. So... yeah, RE is not always, but almost always. I don't think equipment drop at Triple Trio is that great, so it would make inefficient use of blood token. 2nd to last is the best way to spend blood token imo.

What kind of materials do you need to upgrade this kind of weapon (https://hentaiverse.org/equip/134223647/0200027f29)? I want to buy it but unsure of how much I can buy materials to upgrade it.

Just some low grade metal, medium grade metal, and regular catalyst. I strongly advice against upgrading the stuff over level 5. It will require binding. And the piece does not worth the binding (especially slaughter).

Do I need Repurposed Actuator as well? That thing is expensive Also, do we have something like a calculator to calculate how powerful an item would be if you upgrade them? This post has been edited by Setton-san: Nov 26 2017, 06:42

I think you should start reading wiki. No, repurposed actuator only needed to upgrade power armors. And I agree, it's quite costly. So people usually only used it on Legendary grade powers or some really good Magnificent to justify the cost. Yours are a Magnificent weapon. No special material needed.

Oh, I see. Thank you for your help. Also thanks to jantch for sending free metals to upgrade the weapon. I'm guessing he saw my post here (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have max Scav+Max Arch + Cryst5. an quarter+ LoT not max, but 3/4. Yep, that makes PFfest pretty profitable.

QUOTE(Piscolabis @ Nov 25 2017, 07:55)  To Kill a God.
QUOTE(Sapo84 @ Nov 25 2017, 08:24)  First page is not very good for stamina but it takes just ~8 minutes and you can get a few tokens that way.
I usually pop aether shard + featherweight and do 1st page, 2nd page and a couple of IW runs. If you can spare 1h/day I think it's not a bad solution.
QUOTE(friggo @ Nov 25 2017, 09:44)  I agree with this. Now that I've switched to mage, it takes only a little over 1 hour to do both pages on PFUDOR. And also since I basically have endgame gear anyway, credits are less important to me than tokens, so even though the first page is not efficient in regards of stamina, it still means extra tokens with little effort. As an experiment, I've actually been tracking the token bonuses from first page arenas over the last three months. In 90 days, I've gotten 232 tokens from first page arena clear bonuses alone. Worth (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) QUOTE(chjj30 @ Nov 25 2017, 12:06)  I think we needn't play Arenas before Fresh Meat.
QUOTE(decondelite @ Nov 25 2017, 12:46)  For my part I do all arenas except the first half of the first page. The second half of the first page has between 4 and 8 monsters per round, which is fairly similar to the second page. And the probability to get tockens in the end is fairly good. The only major downside is the crap equipment given as end of arena bonus, though one should not forget the buffed drop chance of all monsters in the last round.
QUOTE(RoadShoe @ Nov 25 2017, 13:13)  I always play all arenas, and it's never more than 2 hours going at it at a leisurely pace. The RNG always plays very random for me, (Hence... RNG... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)) But I'll sometimes hit zero tokens on 65 rounds, and then 3 tokens on 15 rounds.. So... hence... therefore... IED.... Every single Arena every single day. Wow, lots of answers. So it seems like the general trend here is... yes. Lots of players do way more content each day. The reason I only do the arenas I screenshotted is because 24hrs = 24 stamina. 24*25=600 rounds. The arenas I screenshotted are 575 total rounds, which leaves room for 24 RE's and 1 round leftover that can be eaten up by Ring of Blood if Tokes of Blood are available or an extra To Kill a God every 80 days or so. That all assumes staying at or above 80 stamina for x2 exp boost too. Going below 80 would allow for 1200 rounds with that same stamina. And take twice as long to clear, regardless of how fast you clear. 980 rounds for the entire second page. So roughly 1k rounds with RE's added in. Still under budget it all are spent while 79 and below. 1224 rounds to clear both pages. So, that still matches up with what everyone is saying then. Might ignore a few to bring it below 1200 and leave room for REs in the stamina budget. A lot of the reasoning seems to be a favor towards loot, mostly tokens, rather than exp. Well, that's very informative. Thank you all.

Grindfest is ot for you. This is for high level players. Blood tokens are for you to use in the ring of blood. Just farm Konata everyday until you unlock Flying Spaghetti Monster. Arenas are the most efficient way for you to spend your time if you got a bit more time than just playing the random encounters. They are also the most efficient way to get tokens. PS: Ring of blood, tough, LOL. Haven't you noticed already that the monsters that actually hurt you are the regular monsters and not the Schoolgirl and FSM weaklings?

Depends on how far you go in the Grindfest. For my part I have Crys V, Tokenizer III, not far from maxed out trainings, and PFFEST is still not profitable for me because I can't go beyond round 400.

I want to buy it but unsure of how much I can buy materials to upgrade it. Don't bother forging it beyond Forge 5, that'd be an utter waste of bindings.

No mysteries here. Game is consisted of various database, each updating/backuping on schedule, one after another with little delay and pause in between. There is a fixed time when database are going to update and one of the table, related to OFC, is updating on unspecific moment of time when its time will come. So, yes, one should wait when he will obtain OFC and there is no way to trigger that event of speed it up. Depending on when, relatively "updating time" you got 21 ponies, you need to wait somewhere in between 1 - 30 hours, no one knows for sure. But thing is for sure - if you got 21 ponies during that "updating phase" then you have to wait until next "updating phase" occur. So, don't panic (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE(hentailover6983 @ Nov 26 2017, 05:59)  I am curious about the monster system for the game.

1. Arena gives you good credit income and equipment as a bonus on finishing. 2. Random encounters have higher chances to drop equipment (there are higher chances to drop anything and equipment as side-effect) So - "do the both" is good answer here (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Rings of Blood are not tough. They might be hard when your are below 300 level, but with good stats you can beat it easily even on PFUDOR. However do not jump higher your head - start with minimal difficulty and try each time to finish that mode on more challenging difficulty - you will see that this mode is not that hard. Grindfest is NO-NO for ANYONE until level 400 and good investment in Hath Perk and equipment. Instead consider doing Item World on some sub-par equipment - but only if you really want to spend your time.

Better - go BUY them. Chances to drop one figurine are very low. One figurine costs ~27,000 credits, so you can get the full set for ~550,000 credits. If you think this is too much, then you haven't come to that moment of the game when you easily can do 200,000 credits per day (even 300,000 credits per day solely from all Arenas is possible).

Upgrade it ONLY to level 5. After level 5 equipment requires binding to proceed further. They costs a lot and that equipment is not awesome to bother and waste money on it.

Redwood is only good for elemental, so you can choose between one of the four elements. On the other hand given the prefix the staff will probably be worse than a correctly prefixed legendary redwood.
