We should have a thread called 'I love my equipments. It's so bad' so people can spam their worst nightmares.

Here's mine, though its not quite that bad PANTS.

I find it strange though that we all have pants. Which made me think of this Leather Pants a YuTube song rewording which is actually really good

Thanks. How about this question?

Thanks, I see it now. Another one: which battle mode is the fastest to level up? I usually find myself doing grindfest all day. Does any of the other (arena, item world,...) have better exp per round?

Grindfest is good because you also get credits.
The LVL200+ arenas have some high exp mods, but since you're not there yet, the fastest for leveling would be in an item world of a high quality equip (legendary or magnificent).

I don't know why lots of people still prefer melee attack over magic ones?

....

anyone can explain?

I'll give you a more precise answer to your question, which is very simple to answer.

Its the same reason why a jet-powered motorcycles exists in this world: Craziness. People do this simply because they can. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Pro to melee:

- Gear is cheap (excluding ethereal weapons)

IMO this is just an urban legend, and you yourself even proves that this is true...

The perceived low price of melee gear are due to the fact that the most of the melee gear that were on sales are just not good enough. The rare occasion of good melee gear for sale in a public market were sold for expensive price as well and it could be even more expensive if the gross income and wealth of melee people are higher; price are correlated to the amount of money buyer willing to pay and how much money they actually got.

If you want some balance between credits and leveling, arenas should be a better choice.

The best method I know is to play in high-difficulty crysfest with great stamina, then finish the arenas in normal difficulty for credits.

High-quality IW has been good for exp grinding till the introduction of crysfest, where the stamina consumption rate is lower.
Grindfest is good for credits only when you're in such a high level that you can blow everything away in normal difficulty with a tier-2 spell, thus can grind for hundreds of rounds.

price are correlated to the amount of money buyer willing to pay and how much money they actually got.

That's why I think one of the better way to evaluate the impact of a new patch is to observe the price fluctuation in the auctions.
You can easily understand player's style/gameplay by observing which equipments they're bidding, and how much they're willing to pay.

How come Crysfest is better with Great stamina?
I mean you don't get the +50 % credits bonus, which isn't that bad at all on arenas with truckloads of monsters, and you can always use some credits on lower levels... Selling crystals is that profitable to a beginner?

Also, with the stamina drain being only 0.005, to me it seems like you can go on like forever in Crysfest after your stamina drops below 80.

I'm asking because I'm always looking for a better way to improve my stamina efficiency, and Arenas till Normals status, then Crysfest and IW seemd to work great for me ^^;

Indeed, that's why to my experience melee gear is dirt cheap. Since barely anyone melees anymore.

For example:
My kevlar set which I find totally awesome (and according to equipment ranges is only around 5% away from having the highest mitigation possible, so it's not that they aren't good enough) cost me a grand total of 200k.

My dark set which I'm using atm only has 2 fenrir parts, ballistic has 2 of the 3 pieces I need to get a full fenrir set, but in comparison the bids are currently 100k and 250k.

So yeah, I got a kevlar set for less than the price of 1 fenrir part. Guess melee gear truly is expensive.

You're comparing apple and orange. But I guess you're already know that so, whatever...

Well you may need to look at that in different perspective...
1. Crysfest/Grindfest/IW have more monsters per round than arenas on average, which means the +50% EXP bonus from great stamina is more effective.

2. Crysfest consume half the stamina per round when comparing with arenas, which means you can grind more EXP per stamina.

3. +50% credit bonus seems to be good, but for low-level players most of the credits is from the clearing bonus of arenas instead of the credits you gain per round.
And since the clearing bonus isn't affected by great stamina, it seems to be better for them to play in normal areans only.
It also secures their credits source without much risk, since playing through arenas in high difficulty can be risky for low-level players.

And for different levels there can be different strategies, so what seems to be the best way for us may not be the same for those players.

I think he's referring to stuff like Ethereal Slaughter weapons, Power Armor of Slaughter, Shade Armor of the Shadowdancer, Shield Armor of the Barrier. Which usually sell for scary amounts of credits.

Scary amount of credits! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

A good melee gear also have this same mystic property as the 'special gift' (like Tenbora box) of enticing people to just keep them, put it on altar and worship it for life. Like in this case for example... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Yeah, that's right. At least I hope I'm not totally screwing things up lol...

And how about these:

I already know the energy drink restores stamina by 20, but what about the ones above? What do they cost, and how much? An amount of credit, or some actual potions from the stock, or ??

the only stamina restoring item is the energy drink, there is no better or worse item to restore stamina.

see http://ehwiki.org/wiki/items for a list of all items (besides equipment) that you can obtain.

A new function has been added that allows you to use restoratives to restore your health/magic/spirit/stamina outside of battles. These options can be found by clicking the "Restoratives" button found below the vital bars.

To keep it simple, the system will automatically determine the optimal mix of restoratives to use. It will always pick the weaker items first, starting at Lesser and moving up to the more powerful ones if weaker restoratives are not available.

It will however never use Elixirs, and it will not use items from the Battle Inventory.

Restoring Health/Magic/Spirit will always use enough items to fill the bar all the way up, while restoring Stamina will only use a single Energy Drink.

You can also use Tokens of Healing to restore all three vital stats for free.
