[X] My Assistant

what difficulty were you on? At your level I had to do item world at nightmare or heroic for magnificent equips, iirc.

It was on Nightmare and I also used all 13 of my Godly Mana Pots.

you should have used soul harvest before it got so low.

What's Soul Harvest?

Level 100 spirit AoE spell. It procs Ripened soul on the target, which will drain SP when hit. (100% melee, 30% mage). SP restored is base SP/20

d) not enough spirit for SS to activate

Focus shouldn't get you double tapped without low AGI

How do you define "low" AGI? FSM, Eila and other (near) AGI capped custom monsters should double tap quite regularly even when just attacking, unless you have a fair amount of AGI on your gear.

Is physical mitigation more important than magical one? Or are they both equally important?

For your level and hentaiverse version, I believe physical mitigation more important.
This is because a lot more monster hit physically rather than magical; to support this we can see from WTS thread where protection suffix worth a lot more than warding.

The question is would you rather wear armour that protect you almost all time vs armour that only protect you when monster use spell (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

How do I determine if my proficiencies(especially deprecating) are well below my level?

Currently, yes, as most of the monsters' attacks deal physical damage.
Your deprecating prof should be determined by the number of spells you actually use in battles. The first two doesn't count, so you'll have to see if there's a situation where you need 3+ deprecating effects.

Try to bring 1-2 Godly SP potion. You have a easy way (focus) to get your mana back, so SP should be your bigger concern.

tbh it is probably better to just lower the difficulty than to use soul harvest or focus, since the reward is based on monster HP anyway.

I just can't believe it. Such garbage. Last round (round 183) with 3 mobs left all low health.

I don't know where 'low' lies now that Tenboro's just completely changed the monster landscape. Makoto wouldn't be facing Eila and friends at Nightmare though, just all the PL 750s that dot the landscape. I was just saying that Focus isn't exactly a slow maneuver (even though it is slow enough to get mages horribly killed).

Can't speak to Eila and company, but I know I went pretty much blow for blow with (Slowed) FSM casting Fimbulvetrs at 150 (so he'd be Action Speed 248, 124 after Slow, and I at probably 200 AGI, AS 250 after Haste) . Then again, I get a good chunk of AGI from my Phase, I forget what Makoto runs.

PMI as others have said, it protects against standard attacks, MMI only helps vs. a few skills. Don't worry about prof for a bit, you still level so fast it won't catch up for a while.

Heh, good question.

I just can't help it but want to thank you guys for the useful advice. xD

Wow, just discovered that I can regain some mana by focusing for the first time, that was brilliantly stupid of me, wondering how much other helpful tidbits did I miss out on.

does postage paid affect COD as well or only the 10c per message fee?

It also affects COD.

It also affects COD.

thank you

I have just completed my Elementalist set and am wondering what I should save my credits for now.

From my understanding the Elementalist build isn't as viable at later levels, is that correct? If so, would the better build be to go divine/forbidden with purge/pestilence at Lv150?

I think Fenrir/Heimdall Phase will be better than Divine/Forbidden Gossamer. Also now you can save your money for Elemental Phase, 'cause AFAIK it gives more power than Elemental Gossamer.

I got that perk but then I'm stupid. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
10 hath @ 17,000c each is 170,000
it costs 10c to send a MM so I only need to send 17,000 MM to breakeven

guess I need to start selling stuff now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Hey folks,

I have 3 questions today.

1. Do stats change on equipment in terms of longevity? I know you can go through IW and raise level and, but I've seen pieces that have had stats raised on some of my items, even though I haven't done anything to them. One example is My current leggings, which I know the attack damage was around 96 to 97 when I bought them. Or maybe it's just due to the last patch in the game.

2. When using the HVStat script and comparing a piece of equipment to the ranges on the wiki webpage, is it better to base roll columns or derived stats to give you a better idea of how good a piece of equipment is?

3. While I realize it's chancy, I've been rather successful in buying artifacts which when sent to the shrine have given me enough hath to cover the costs of the buying. While I realize that you can get crystals and stat increases as well, does it get better once you max out your stat increases to consider going this route instead of buying hath straight up? I suppose of course it all depends on how many artifacts are available to sell.

Thoughts/Opinions?

laters,

You can choose to gradually change to elemental phase, then holy/dark phase. Or just skip the elemental phase and go holy/dark at lv. 150. Either way, you should spend more on holy/dark phases and less on elemental phases.

1. The equips' are always scaled to your level, so when you level up, the stat simply grows.

2. They're basically the same; the only difference is that you'll need a bit more calculation to get the base roll, but it gives you some better idea on how the stats is composed.

3. Your chance to get stat/AP decreases as you get more stat points, so you're going to get more crystals/haths/EDs sooner or later. But then I think it's better for you not to chase for the last few stat points till you get some crystal perks, since you may need hundreds of artifacts to get the last few stat points.

guess I need to start selling stuff now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Yea, 150-170 sales of 10k or more and you're going to get your credits back. I wonder why we need to COD in the first place though (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

1. Yes, and the term is caled Level Scaling, it is added in 0.7.0 patch

2. Base roll, if you dont know the math

3. Yes, but so does the chance of getting crystals and ED. By average it is about 0.40 hath per artifact (out of 100)

Yea, 150-170 sales of 10k or more and you're going to get your credits back. I wonder why we need to COD in the first place though (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Because we still cant trust a stranger when dealing with million-credit equipment?
