QUOTE(Uncle Stu @ Dec 21 2017, 18:22)  Whoever did tell you to mix leather/shade armor with 1H, didnt ment it too well with you.
actually around his level 1H + Leather should work well to migrate from 2H + Leather to 1H + Power...

I don't have enough hath to purchase a hath perk that costs more than 250 hath without spending more than a million credits but should I get innate arcana iii now or at a later time because I would rather save up for crystarium ii right now.

QUOTE(Loapn @ Dec 21 2017, 18:10)  I'm pretty sure I don't understand the essence of the set you recommend. What's the turn-by-turn play? Maybe it's just my equipment, but I feel less safe with the new set than the original set. Then, what should I focus on, in terms of stats and abilities?  You should stop using Superior now. Exquisite should be the minimum for all your equipments now. 1H + leather isn't optimal in the long run, but at your level it should be the best you can get. I can guarantee a thing: if you're too afraid to take damage and spend a lot of turns to cast depr spells, that is exactly when the monsters actually tear you apart as you're taking too long to kill them. And if you're not using it already: use Spirit Shield. You may want to use Haste aswell until you feel safe enough in order not to need it anymore. So first change your weapo, your shield and your boots. If you really can't change your weapon, at least get it to potency 10 so it gets Hollowforged. Once you get an Exquisite weapon, don't be afraid of forging it until Forge 5.

I'll go ahead and buy that perk next unless I get a lot of advice saying something else is better to get now instead. QUOTE(Scremaz @ Dec 21 2017, 11:03)  i have a few hath laying around too, since i'm halfway for a perk but didn't decide which one yet. need a loan?
Yes.

No, get Innate Arcana III. Crystarium is useless for someone of your level. After Innate Arcana III, I recommend Tokenizer I.

Crystarium II will turn 2 crystals in drop to 3 crystals. ┐(︶▽︶)┌ Don't buy it yet. Calculate __φ(◎◎ヘ) all your crystal gains tomorrow. If you use monsterbation, it is already there after each RE/Arena, just add it all. Half of that * 3,3 would be your estimated profit per day if you add Cryst II. Now you know how much time it would take you to regain the investment __φ(..) considering the current hath price.
Ask yourself: is waiting this time to make a single credit of profit (¬_¬) really worth passing something else for?

I don't really want to get Innate Arcana III right now because it's not like I am a mage or something that will really need a perk like that instead of sticking with Innate Arcana II for a while longer. How good is Innate Arcana III for a 1-hand sword and shield user like myself compared to Innate Arcana II? This is just my opinion but I consider Tokenizer I to be less useful for me than getting more crystals for myself which I could always sell and for my two monsters to use at the monster lab.

Any Crys is a long therm investment. But you should forget the immediate effect it can have when you actually get some crystals to upgrade your monster without the need to buy CP. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) Total worthless if you ask me. I did buy Arcana III a long time ago and didnt use it since nearly the same time and i will never see that Hath again. Well Tokenizer I i total worth it. When you actual have the Hath i suggest buy it. It makes it so much faster to unlock more monster and get more profit out of the Monsterlab. This post has been edited by Uncle Stu: Dec 21 2017, 23:04

Indeed ( ˘▽˘) but I made Arena lvl 180 just now, and got 660 crystal with Cryst III.
So it would be 132 Cryst at 0, 264 at I and 396 at II. If he makes that arena once a day he would profit 160k credits in the end of one year by getting Cryst II compared to his gains with Cryst I.
I will make a DwD + ED + EoD + TTaTT after the dawn and repost back (*´∇`)┌θ☆(ノ>_<)ノ my crystal gains so it is easier to calculate.

You can salvage/bazaar them without regrets, or try to sell them if they are low level (like <300) Legendaries.

Innate Arcana III = autocast of Spark of Life, Spirit Shield and Protection. Simple. As for crystarium, just buy your crystals in WTS shops. You'd basically be unlocking a perk that does what? Barely a few hundreds of credits difference per arena? In the other hand, Tokenizer is the only way to boost your token income, and let me tell you that even with Tokenizer III they're very slow to obtain. Crystarium is really a perk that is mainly here for PFFest runners so they can drop the equivalent of a few crystal packs in a single run.

Crystarium perk is only worth it if you run grindfest, and by run I mean being able to clear it (or at least being able to get near the end).
On the other modes, the ROI on it is extremely low, even on the first levels. You are going to take ages(likely never) to recover those credits/hath spent on it, you are better using them on other perks or gear.

I don't know, I bought it just because I had lots of credits at that time. I use it because I have it, not because I need it. I would use those haths for something else, like enigma energizer
