guess that's the point of it, reward the work. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) it'll be easier since as of this year, you get .5 pt for placing 25th and up, and so would just need to get top 25 in 2 categories to qualify for sapphire. Breaking top 7 is a lot more (consistent) work than breaking top 25. cleanup toplist tends to be really sparse, so I'd suggest do that and and one other.

You don't have to. If you want to change a name, it'll first check if it is available before confirming that you have enough tokens. So if you have 2- tokens check all the names you want.

It's kind of an issue if you're like "ok, I'll make a monster named after character X... now what type of monster (humanoid, demon etc) would be fitting?" and end up with "well shit, that name is already taken and I don't really have any other character in mind that fits that monster type".

No, as you can't keep that with heartseeker (mutually exclusive). This post has been edited by varst: Jan 2 2013, 11:57

Crude IW (though equip with very low quality/PXP), equip the staff with lowest ADB, wear heavy armor, then start hitting everything with your staff.

Yes and no. On the one hand, that's one of the highest WD I've ever seen that wasn't on a Legendary or forged equip. That's what Scythes are for, one-shotting Normal rounds at speed. On the other hand, it's not Ethereal and lacks the third PAB. In other words, it's a nice vanilla Superior Scythe. Which means it's nice at level 125, but very meh in the grand scheme of things unless Tenboro buffs Bleed somehow.

Why heavy? Why not get Cloth prof at the same time? It's a Crude IW, Regen II should cover pretty well (if not, well, you're generating tons of OC for focus). This post has been edited by PK678353: Jan 2 2013, 13:52

Cloth armor should be relatively easy to get through battles. Your method also works, though I can go and watch some animes without any worries (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

yep yep, when I make a new monsters that is a problem I have. I also dump a lot of gems in to it so when I do name it I can't rename it or delete it. QUOTE(PK678353 @ Jan 2 2013, 11:50)  Yes and no.

having a lot of PA on a weapon only really matters if you are going to MAX its level. If its not going to get any forge upgrades then just use whatever. When I grind prof i'll use the armor that also needs to be maxed. For cloth I like using priestess gear so my regen II heals more. I'll do the same thing with light armor using a staff or shield. Attack spells can be maxed just by grinding more. Its when you need to gain a lot of prof fast that doing a crude IW on IWBTH will help. It may also help if you drop your title a few levels so you do less damage.

Quick question,
on what level of LoD training should I be able to see mag drops, the only mag I've gotten is from an offering, I never even gotten one from drops yet, all I get is a couple of exqs per day.
PS. usually I only do arenas in IWBTH up to fresh meat or so, the rest in battletoads, except for end of days,
and do grindfest in IWBTH if I got the time, also FSM in IWBTH (and got nothing above superior qualities from direct drops FSM gave me)
what level of LoD did you guys have when did you guys start to see mag drops, or is it just pure luck?
post-edit: Am I reading the wiki wrong, or does LoD only affect potions and stuff
Oh, I am SO CONFUSED right now

I can't do it, because my monsters have a PL above 100 already, all of them.

Well...what's the name you want to try? I still have some monsters of PL below 100.

QUOTE(varst @ Jan 1 2013, 11:27)  Well...shield + mace is a strange choice. You should leave your equip's link here, but I'll suggest you to switch your weapon to slaughter for better damage output. You should also switch some of your shield armor to plate for better mitigation, but it's difficult to say without the exact equip stats. Also, utilize your spells. You also need slow against gods in RoB and haste in almost every situation. The RoB gods are no joke in you're not careful. Try to finish on normal first for the clear bonus. Then save the tokens till you can possibly deal with FSM on IWBTH difficulty. When dealing with gods, you should find a void weapon since all of them are resistant to almost every damage types. Basically, it's what listed in the advice. 5 levels a day should be fast enough. It's like 1 level per 5-10 days for me now. As for mana cost, try to cast your spells in spirit stance, and finish your round faster. And use more supportive spells so you don't need that much on cures. If you can't deal with IWBTH, try to advance at BT for now till you can handle it. Thanks for the help, what kind of weapon should I use if I continue using shield? Without mace, I am being hit like a sandbag. I once choose bleeding effect, and end up wasting all my HP potion in battles. I also want to know how to finish the round faster? In average it takes me 6~10 in a single battle of 5~6 monsters.( In normal mode, the monsters block or parry or evade my attacks )
