QUOTE(PersonaFan08 @ Dec 21 2017, 22:00)  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.
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.

and even more useful for non-1H styles. QUOTE(Piscolabis @ Dec 21 2017, 23:54)  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).

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

enigma energizer is another cheap-yet-nice perk. and as a DWer at times, yep, i really need it. besides, it still provides mana conservation even if you don't slot anything on it, so if you purchase it for a build all the other ones will benefit of that in the end. QUOTE(gianfrix94 @ Dec 22 2017, 00:35)  Enigma Energizer? What? Why?
why not? people spend millions to shave a handful of seconds out of a PFfest, with 200 Hath you have a permanent boost to Riddlemater's damage and regen.

Do low-level monsters give rare materials? I wonder if rare materials are part of high-grade materials. Also do the levels affect the chance they bring some like binding of slaughters?

20% more damage for 50 turns (between 7 and 10 rounds, depending on the amount of monsters) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wub.gif). Riddlemaster appears 1 or 2 times almost on every arena, so why not?

yes. LG, MG and HG refer to Leather/Metal/Cloth/Wood only. QUOTE(-vincento- @ Dec 22 2017, 00:50)  Also do the levels affect the chance they bring some like binding of slaughters?
this is a bit more tricky. in theory it *shouldn't*, but seems that some bindings are rarer than others. on the other hand they all have the same price on shopbot, so... basically, we don't have any definitive datas, but currently we tend to think they all have the same chance.

Riddlemaster appears 1 or 2 times almost on every arena, so why not? It should be mentioned that it's really only useful for mages. For a high-level melee player on PFUDOR, monsters have so much health that a riddlemaster buff lasts for about 2 rounds (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Crys I is good though - x2 (x2,5 Nintendo and IWBTH) crystals for ~1m is quite nice and profitable in 1-2 years?

I've been lvl 3xx since 4 months ago and I'll need at least another 3 months to reach lvl 400. This perk has done a fantastic job till now, even if I'm a melee player (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

In an year, maybe. My DwD made me 870 today, with Cryst III. Would be 174 crystals dropped without the perk and 348 with Cryst I, right? ╮(︶▽︶)╭Price of Cryst I = 250 hath =~ 1,03M credits. Price of a single crystal = 4 credits (let's put at 4). Crystals of "bonus" for having Cryst I after each DwD, a day = 174 crystals = 696 credits ヾ( `ー´)シφ__ Days to pay for the Cryst I and start making a profit = 1479 days If we consider that all SG arenas + TTaTT made around this much, and someone was going to make all of them a day, this is 369 days right there... Meanwhile someone could invest in equipment so he could actually put his DwD clear time in a reasonable amount of time... ( ̄ω ̄) Way more profitable than Crystarium outside of Fest could ever hope to be. By the way, if some people were desiring to make a comfy _(:3 」∠)_ set to go mindlessly hoovering and stopping to heal or cast spells as little as possible to not break concentration for something he is watching something, what would be the best choice? 1H with Power of Protection? Asking for a friend. This post has been edited by reality_marble: Dec 22 2017, 04:14

Can someone point me to some open, good and secure IW service?
I will probably need one in a pair of day, thanks.

If it's a real difficult one, I'm open for fixed price service. But I'm not cheap, rather 'exclusive'.

I'm a melee and find it a nice boost. The extra regens are appreciated as well for a fan of micro-optimization like me
