If you're going to do the 220+ arenas all the way, I find it's easier to just silence the girls. They have even more hp now compared to the regular mobs that relying on spirit shield for them is just a waste sp unless you can kill them off in a only few turns.

I think duel-wield was already much better against schoolgirls before, now it got even better because on battletoads you can still almost one-shot them with frenzied blows and build overcharge on the other monsters. It is incredibly boring though (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Ok I haven't played in a while, and trying to get back into the game.

@LVL 55 Mage build.

most of my gear is superier cotton of priestest (+30 curatives, but only +7 lightning dmg....)
would it be worth it to pay 40K Credits for 2pc phase nifilhelm and switch to cold spells?

what is priority in equipment choice??
example:
Staff (+DMG > Conservation > Elemental Prof > ETC)
robe (interference > +Int > +Wis > ETC)
etc etc

CHAR:
STR 10
DEX 10
AGI 55
END 55
INT 60
WIS 57
SHOULD I actually start investing in STR or DEX????

not sure what to do here:
ABILITIES:
max HP+MP tanks
all slots + buffs
Thunderstorm 5

I only have magic missile and Lightning/Thunderstorm. When I run into a lightning resist, I know it immediately...
but I do not have the points/credits/equipment to invest in multiple elements yet...

I'm probly getting into the territory where I have to start investing into a path (1hand shield,2hand+shield,mage, etc)

What is the best type of build for long marathons? right now I can get through about 55 rounds on normal...before I run out of pots/mp....

Also could you guys confirm if ethereal weapons affect loot drop rolls?

Not sure what you're actually asking about, so I'm just going to leave this, should clarify all questions.

I'm asking if there is a effect that Ethereal weapons lower your loot rolls or something like that. Like Basically by using a ethereal I lose chances for loot drops compared to the other types of weapons.

No

Time. You can clear BT twice as fast. Worse XP, but better everything else.

This. When active I try to go for 4 hour stints with a bunch of shards activated. On Battletoads, that lets me clear all of the arenas up to The Trio and The Tree and still have time to spare for a 200+ level grind fest. On IWBTH, I imagine I'd get through less than half than that, so my net gain would be considerably lower.

IWBTH is a much better pay off per stamina, but Battletoads is a much better pay off for actual time. I'd only go with IWBTH as a standard if stamina was more of an issue than time, or if I could convince myself that the loot quality advantage was important enough.

End of Days arena

Other suggestions?

The safe and easy way of doing them is by using the schoolgirls to fill your OC, then focus like crazy. Repeat ad nauseam. You should never run out of anything that way, even on IWBTH, it just takes ages. Hours on hours. As you repeat it you'll work out just how much OC you can spare on skills to speed the process up, but it's never fast. It's these time concerns and sheer boredom that mean that nearly no one does them on a regular basis.

In my opinion, 220+ should never willingly be approached as melee other than as DW, which can kill the schoolgirls way faster than 2H of any flavour. The difference is huge, and even then it takes too long to really be worth it beyond initial clearing. Your mace should still be able to do the job, but with lower raw damage and no PA it'll just take so long that I recommend you go for it with a DW set up unless your DW proficiency is non-existent.

Having said that, my DW set is pretty poor, so someone with a top class set might be able to confirm that it doesn't take hours with proper DW.

k thanks.

btw, can you guys tell me what this rapier is worth?

I've been blessed by Snowflake with my first ever Magnificent item.

Is it worth to Forge/IW it?

Does it "play" well in the current HV system? (as compared to the Estocs/Maces that everyone else is getting/using)

I'm playing as 2H/Light (Shadowdancer).

Battletoads End of Days ~ 45 minutes, and that's right after 0.72 (so max pl of like 850) using DW + shade and at level ~250.

Ethereal Longsword of Balance (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I would salvage it because scythes and even katanas are better in every way, and the suffix hurts it even more. Definitely not worth forge/IW.

Sadly I don't know all too well about any of the new items, but those are some nice stats on that thing from all the ones i've looked at.

Silence schoolgirls, then they do so little damage. DW skills practically one-shot them, or if you need mana, focus spam them. One safe way is to time it so backstab kills her last, then use 3 attacks to proc PA on the next girl, then spirit frenzy the round. Kills off all the extras to keep damage taken low, then you can build up on her again.

So it was actually that, lol. Didn't think you meant that as the question was kinda weird. *shrug*

k thanks.

As much as people want to pay for it. Probably not what you want to hear, but there isn't exactly a market for those, so there is nothing/not much to compare it to.
Look around in WTS, even if it's older topics, for one close to it and check out the prices.
That said, it has pretty good values for all important stats, but still, it's "only" a nimble rapier.

http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=c3b7b5f655 is that thing worth upgrading for evasive charachter ?

Mmm now that I've thought about it. Either T's done some adjustments to justify the change in SD drop rate or the previous SD drops were never this lucky. I guess SD may really be strictly > Fleet now o_O (although in a different sense compared to before)

Level 200. I guess its time to seek advice my character (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

And yes, I part time as mage especially when I don't have RL time to play HV; therefore, my strange stat placement and ability tree.

no.1 thing that stands out for me is the training. you can probably raise scav/luck/quarter/arch a few levels very very very cheaply.

150K isn't very very very cheap to everyone lol.

Does Holy Phase sell well or is it just Dark?
