[X] My Assistant

reached lv50, now i can challenge the ring of blood, but my Dual wielding proficiency only have 6.54, far from unlock Backstab, and only have 5 tokens of blood.

for SH weapon i have Superior Rapier of Slaughter, ,Fine Club of the Nimble

since varst' advice at #11399

i changed back some old heavy armors

Average Plate Cuirass of Protection, Fine Plate Gauntlets of Protection, Average Plate Greaves of the Frost-born

are these equipments good enough?

is ring of blood very dangerous? 

should i challenge it now?






edit:
i was thinking to use penetrator + stunner combo to battle, but ehwiki Equipment_Advice entry suggest battlecaster is good for ring of blood, should i buy a good "of battlecaster " weapon?

AFAIK Bosses should be quite easy with stun and PA.
Remember to use the respective infusion (against bosses' weakness), and put poison/weaken on.
Against Manbearpig, you may also want to bring a scroll of life/god against its magical SP attack.

For weapon, use a high-damage club in mainhand and rapier with long-duration high-chance PA in offhand.
That should be useful later against gods/legends, so choose a better one.

P.S. Equipment_advice is largely outdated now.

Sounds bad. How much hp left for the boss?
You may need to bring a scroll of god for every boss fight then.

just a little, boss turned red, i am too weak

You should cast weaken and poison as soon as you start the battle.

Weaken decrease monster's damage by 50% and prevents crit, while poison halves the monster's SP and MP regen rate by 50%.

If you cast them ASAP, those bosses may not have the chance to use their second skill/SP attack in the battle.
Together with one infusion, there's a fair chance the boss dies before having a chance to use its attack.

There's a slim chance you'll still lose against bosses: a crit with magical attack, but the chance can be reduced by the above methods.

i should buy several scrolls of Life, since the scroll slot can be restock in battle, i shoud release the Spark of Life effect in the begining


your deprecating magic advice is ture, my playing style is too no-brainer, i play with mobs like a pure brute

I did all 4 of the available RoB's when I was 52, with the right setup they were pretty easy. I didn't use any scrolls or infusions because I haven't unlocked the abilities for them yet.

I did the recommended strat of Poison and Weaken. I stayed 2h because my mace has a 29% chance to stun for 3 turns, which is absolutely vital. At our levels we cannot survive a spirit attack, as they generally hit for around 500+ more HP than we have, so you have to kill the mob before it uses it. Shatter Strike also helps immensely with this, 5 rounds of Stun is huge (not sure if Penetrated Armor and the Stun damage bonus stack, but from what I've seen i don't think it does.) With Weaken up the mob's damage is quite low, and with stuns you shouldn't really be in trouble outside of special attacks, so whenever the mobs are above 50% mana stay very close to maximum health (they can't crit with Weaken up but they still do a large amount of damage.) If you've been playing 2h I would recommend staying it, as the higher Stun chance and Shatter Strike may be far more helpful than the increased damage of DW. If you do stay DW make sure you're using Iris Strike while the mob is either stunned or PA'd.

thanks,

so if i do Th, i need a better mace of balance, may be Attack Accuracy Bonus need close to 20% while Stun chance not far from 30%, and stun turns need to be >= 3

Is what I've been using for a while, balance could be fine though, the stun chance is by far the most important.

hmm, should I spent my cr on a better cloth set which will raise my evade about 4.5% (after changing all) and deals more damage, or max aura slot & pack rat first?

how good is sv on IA? should I spent hath on IA2, or go with metallic aura first?

Are there any real numbers around for the differences on Item Worlds in relation to the Item grade that you go into? The Wiki just says you'll face more powerful monsters in higher grade items, does this mean more Uncommon+ monsters or that they'll give more Exp? I'm trying to find the most efficient Exp/Time setup.

I would say metallic aura > IA2. The main use of IA for mages is to save mana in long areans.
But that's not something necessary.

And max those aura slot and pack rat first. In the mean time you can decide if elemental or holy/dark suits your playstyle.
EDB plases can be obtained at a fair price if you pick those with lower EDB.

But then it's always a difficult decision. I don't see any real downsides if you choose to obtain EDB phases first.

They should have the same hp, but their hits deals less damage, and they should give less exp.
Current assumption is that there's a 'quality' in every equipments, and IW scales according to this 'quality', assuming damage at arena = 1.
And no, you'll have the same chance to meet uncommon+ monsters.

thanks for the advice (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , straight to metallic then.
And if edb slightly higher than 1/2 max mdb set still too expensive, I'll go aura & rat.

I'm not sure if anyone would know this and since there isn't a search function I figure I would post here.

I saw a "Superior Ethereal Diamond Longsword of Balance" or something along those lines in the item shop and bought it. When I went to equip the item, I found that it had turned into a "Superior Longsword of Balance". Can someone explain to me what just happened?

That's what the sword changed into after I bought it.

Go here: https://e-hentai.org/?spg=usercp&arg_ucp=credits
and check and if you really bought the right sword.

The funny thing is that it has not registered that I even bought the sword. I thought there was a delay period between credit spending, so I sold something to test it out and there wasn't one.

Basically I received the wrong sword for free and the one I did want has disappeared. C'est la vie I suppose.

Thanks for the help.

Or you just had that second sword in your inventory and someone got the ethereal before you. Sometimes you get ninja'd when grabbing things from the bazaar.
