You lose credits if it's an Arena battle.

technically you don't lose credits if you die in the arena. you pay credits up front in order to enter the arena challenge so regardless of win or lose you will have spent the credits. it is just that the reward for clearing an arena challenge is enough to off set the amount you spent to enter it.

QUOTE(Charkan @ Aug 13 2010, 14:28)  Focus on HP and MP tanks rather than SP-OC. You're too low in level to get a significant bonus from it while ignoring the essentials. END should be at or higher than your level. Light is generally junk. Only wear it if its better than any Heavy or Silk you can find.

QUOTE(Charkan @ Aug 13 2010, 19:28)  Please analyze my stats and tell me if I need to change something. I accept tips.
Increase STR/END a little more. Fill up the all HP/MP tanks first, SP+OC after. (And get rid of barrier, it's useless) If you like to play cake, use full plate with the highest physical absorb possible, for normal use high evade cloth, and 1 piece of plate if you find one good. For grind the best is a katana/longsword of slaughter, with good bleeding. For serious business like arenas, get a good rapier for main-hand, then a good block shield or high parry dagger.

Putting more END / FOR, ok being planned. Complete HP / MP tanks, ok done.
About my arms, see them. Lately for me to put the type bleeding in main hand helps more against monsters weak. The proc from off hand has done well on bosses. About light, my equips are bad? I prioritize light that has high evade and damage absorption. I think some parts will not need to change until lvl 200.
What opinion relating to my equipment? and thanks for the tips.

Uhh, those all have pretty abysmal evade and most have mediocre defense. You could do better by mixing high Evade Silk with high defense Heavy. Like I said, only wear them if you can't find better equivalent Silk/Heavy.

QUOTE(Ebil☆Panda @ Aug 13 2010, 23:16)  i'm bored gimme your thoughts
I advise you to balance all the stats (all of them at same level) When you can, get weaken, bewilder, absorb, spark, and fill the scroll slot, it's more useful than "barrier". Then fill exp tanks. What equipment you currently wearing? I see low evade, and high resist, are you using light gear? (posting the links will help) Normally light gear is junk.

QUOTE(Ebil☆Panda @ Aug 13 2010, 20:15)  Leveling my gear was the only way I could get better stats. Now almost all of it is up to my level and its pretty awesome. QUOTE(Ebil☆Panda @ Aug 13 2010, 20:15)  and why even the stats out? i can already hit everything most of the time(everything i've fought at least), and it's not like i'm getting pummeled to death either (isn't extra damage a good idea?) dunno how long heartseeker lasts for, but i'll be getting that as soon as i level too (hoping it's duration is comparable to AM) the other skills will come later, it's not like i wasn't planning on eventually getting them, it's just that not having them wasn't hurting me and i had the exp skills (all of them), but the extra exp i got from them wasn't that much (and extra abilities/hp-mp tanks have helped me more than those did anyways)
Heartseeker is the same as AM as far as cost and duration go -- they're essentially the same ability. Your abilities don't matter that much since you'll eventually reach the point where you have everything with points to spare (BTW, if you want more Artifacts I can hook you up). Weaken and Bewilder will be the most helpful in the near future, though.

Unless it shows up when I hit View New Posts, I wouldn't know what was going on in it. Most people are probably the same. I'll let you save up some more so I can send bigger stacks (last time you caught me after I'd just finished dropping them in hopes of Hath).

By "immediate" I actually mean eventually.

QUOTE(Ebil☆Panda @ Aug 14 2010, 01:15)  I would mix high Evade Silk with high defense Heavy intead, since I can get more evade, and mitigation that way. QUOTE(Ebil☆Panda @ Aug 14 2010, 01:15)  and why even the stats out? i can already hit everything most of the time(everything i've fought at least), and it's not like i'm getting pummeled to death either (isn't extra damage a good idea?) Extra damage is a good idea, and having extra HP/MP (END/WIS) is also a good idea. Well from your abilities you have all offensive spells maxed, but not a single point in OC, which is something a mage would have, not a pure melee. So if you're switching between styles, imo balanced is the better option, if you're gonna stick with melee only I suggest to reset the ability tree and fill the SP+OC first then put the rest in the spells. (+100% OC = +50% extra damage) QUOTE(Ebil☆Panda @ Aug 14 2010, 01:15)  and i had the exp skills (all of them), but the extra exp i got from them wasn't that much (and extra abilities/hp-mp tanks have helped me more than those did anyways)
Well people like to level up faster, but sure they aren't necessary.

Hello everyone need some advice here and have some question. First my stats and others:  Have +10% more exp and + 3 ability points from trainer atm. Equip: Just some cheap thing from the bazaar. Should be a mage build. Now my questions: Should I go for something like this: Str 5 Dex 10 Agi 10 End 10 Int 15 Wis 15 or Str 5 Dex 5 Agi 10 End 10 Int 15 Wis 15 Maybe swap Agi/Dex or End/Dex? And about abilities: Should I aim for all 4 elements and the other 3 or should I go for 2 elements and ther other 3 (holy, dark, soul) + more health/mana tank. About equip: Should I aim for an Ebony (more elemental damage) or a Willow (more ele, div, for, dep proficiencies) staff. Should it be a damage type (... of Destruction or elmental damage) or hit type (... of Focus). Armor would be a Gossamer set but what suffix should I aim. Any other way besides stats and equip to raise accuracy because it sucks to get resisted 4 times in a row (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif). That's all of my question hope it's clear and thanks for your time^^.

i am too low a level to be called an expert so i hope i can provide you with some advice based on my personal experience so far since mine is also a mage.
for the primary attributes, i am not sticking to any particular ratio like you are.
my int is always a lot more than my other attributes. as of this post, my int is 58 whereas my end, wis and agi are 45. the reason why i do that is because of my mob killing strategy. int affects magic damage and magic accuracy the most so int is always my top priority.
i don't think i need to explain the importance of end and wis.
agi is also important because of action speed. basically what it means to me is how many times a single monster can attack me in one of my turn.
str and dex has no use for me since i am doing a pure mage build. however i am keeping in at slightly less than half of my agi because sometimes i tend to click too fast and it results in a melee attack.
as for abilites, it really depends on how you are going to tackle the monsters. what i have done is allocate 1 AP each to each of the elements and use the rest on elec (both aoe and rating) and fire (aoe and rating).
the reason for elec is because the least number of monsters are resistance to elec. fire is just to compliment elec and cause an explosion. so what i will do is cast elec aoe on the mobs and then followed by a fire aoe.
there are of course other strategies but this is the one i am more familiar with.
hp and mp tank are important as well so don't forget about them.
your equipment should compliment your attack strategy. for instance if your attack strategy focus on dealing them holy damage then you might want to consider the heaven-sent. if you are going for elemental then perhaps the elementalist.
your equipment could compliment your defensive strategy instead of your attack strategy as well. if the strategy consist of evading the monsters' attack then you could try using the fleet.
additionally, if you find that your accuracy isn't good you can try a staff of focus since it boost accuracy. i am currently using a staff of focus because i believe that there is no point in being able to deal large amount of damage if the attacks is not able to land on the target.
experts please feel free to correct my advice if you think that it is necessary.
