Catgirls make hath like crazy, converting to credits, plus getting credits by playing HV, and eventual donations leads to raising faster Quartermaster and Scavenger, which indirectly raise the probability of getting special type equip.

Catgirls?
Also for the best type of level, I been using a 100+ Crude weapon. Is this the best way to level up since mobs are generally weaker but the difficult setting is normal and there are plenty of rounds?
Oh, and what spells are a must for my current level, like the slow/haste/poison/sleep spells etc.

No. The experience you get from a crude IW is awful.

QUOTE No. The experience you get from a crude IW is awful. 10 rounds of flimsy=1 round of magnificent. This is probably a programmed ratio.

Both what Tenboro told me and what I've seen says this isn't true. (The programmed ratio part.)

why level yourself up using item world instead of grindfest? are the exp gained in item world higher than grindfest or are the drops better?

No it isn't, first the same item piece gives different exp each time, since you don't have a constant number of mobs i.e. sometimes you get 21 rounds of 9 monsters and 9 rounds of 8 monsters. Second, each piece even from same grade of quality can have diferent exp multiplier. This time I post a link about it QUOTE(hentai_fusion @ Jul 31 2010, 19:44)  why level yourself up using item world instead of grindfest? are the exp gained in item world higher than grindfest or are the drops better?
IW gives more exp, but grindfest have better quality drops, as far I've seen. (more and less same as magnificient gives, and I only looked at general items)

QUOTE(coredumperror @ Jan 17 2010, 17:37)  Tenboro has capped the EXP gain at Superior-level, so that folks with old gear to grind in can't benefit more than those who can't acquire it.
That is actually not true. Tens has an axe that gives 30% more experience than the current maximum.

Huh, I choose that post, but it was supposed to read the rest of conversation. QUOTE(Boggyb @ Jan 22 2010, 22:45)  It is. Pieces of equipment have an IW exp value of between 0 and 1 (though there are pieces with ABOVE 1 floating out there. Apparently Tens has an axe that is something like 1.4 which is the highest in existence.)

I just seemed to find xping in a flimsy weapon gives sig weaker mobs than in grindfest, I was able to get up to lvl 49 (i ran to not win weapon to wait 24 hours) and beat a manbearpig on lvl 48 without an item. If I raised the rank of difficulty than the xp would double which would def bring it over normal grindfest. It just seemed better so I was wondering if anyone has experimented further
Only thing I have noticed is that you cant get credits in item world. But on normal gear/bosses still appear in drops on normal. Are they more frequent on higher difficulty?

Should I face Konata now? I've got the Tokens, I thought after raising pressure system to max next lvl up, it might be possible to beat her... But I am not so sure if this is a fight I could win... How long would it take me to beat her anyways, I've heard that the legendaries HP is quite awesome... so opinions, strategies and so on please! (Remember I am a mage)

Wouldn't this go in legendary thread? Kotona is easy. It's the other 3 that you have to worry about. If I remember correctly, I beat kotana with 4 greater mana draughts at level 75 with horrible equipment (dual wielding horrible rapiers). Remember to keep your hp above 65%. Otherwise, it's just a boss with a little more hp.
Edit: I would like some advice on real life. I've got 30 tokens and would really like to start using them.

Great news, I'll challenge her later today when I've made the next level.

I cant seem to win arena battles. Still on the level 30 one and just lost in final round with only 3 monsters left. Using DW Rapier main/Dagger sub with only using magic to shield and heal.
What would be ideal?

QUOTE What would be ideal? There isn't an ideal. That's why there's many fighting styles. For DW, most people use high damage mainhand (axe, etc.) and high balance/parry offhand (dagger, etc.). Rapier can go either way, depending on its stats (whether it's slaughter, nimble, balance).

I just go for higher def debuff rate rapier, just got new one with 22% instead of the 17% one I currently use. My offhand is a Fine Prism Dagger of Focus, had some really nice parry/eva on it and some magic hit help.
I been wondering now since somehow I keep fighting messes of boss's now after a 50 level dry spell, but do the shine items dropped from boss monsters only for equipment trade results and does that mean artifacts from normal mob drops are the only one where you can get things like Hath and stuff?

Trophies = Equip Artifacts = Hath, Stats, AP There's no confusing the two, since they're labeled as such.
