What was the point of this post? cmal said as much in his post above.
I'm sorry, I had actually missed the fact that cmal had said that.
So to cmal, Boggyb, and anyone else that is offended that I was being redundant: I apologize.
Now that that is out of the way, I am going to ask a question to make sure that this post is legitimate for the thread.
Does the increased OC from soul stone carry over between rounds?
I currently have two soul stones in inventory from item drops and I have only been able to successfully complete as far as Blazing Field in the arena. (On a daily basis I only fight as far as a Rolling Stone). I am trying to figure out if it is worth trying to use a soul stone when attempting Fresh Meat. The soul stone should allow me to get a 200% OC if I understand it correctly. This would allow a significant attack bonus when attempting Fresh Meat. The problem is I am unsure if the increased OC will remain between rounds. If I could get a 200% OC in the first round and keep it all the way through the arena battle it might be worth it. If my OC resets to 100% in round 2 it is not. For something that I could sell to the bazaar for 1000 C (plus the 1000 C to enter Fresh Meat) it really is too costly for me to just experiment and see what happens.
So to anyone that has used soul stone before does the increased OC remain between rounds or does it reset to 100% after a round is completed? i.e. Is the soul stone actually useful for arenas or is it only really handy in a ROB?
Also, if anyone has any advice specific to the higher level arenas that would be useful too.
Thank you and again sorry about the previous post.
