Can anyone tell me where is the round counter in Chrome? I saw it in FF, but not in Chrome.
And can the gem stay outside of the item tab, like in the past?
In addition, when I try to do ctrl+c to get the gear pop up, nothing show up. What is the trick to get it work like in FF?

The round counter and gem icon are features of scripts, like HVSTAT and HVMA: http://ehwiki.org/wiki/HentaiVerse_Scripts_%26_Tools

The equipment popup is obtained by hovering the mouse cursor over an item and pressing "c", not "ctrl+c".

Thank you. The features always come with it, so I never think I need to go into setting to adjust. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Is it better to try to salvage lower-level gear (below Superior) or to sell them at the bazaar? I keep getting nothing when I salvage Crude gear, but the level probably determines it.

The wiki has the answer to your question. Salvaging anything below fine isn't gonna grant you anything.





And even fine doesn't have that much chance to give you something.

1. Is there any advantage of doing Grindfest instead of The Arena?

2. Is this Kevlar body armor better than my current one, 'cause I wanna know if should get it?

In my experience, I never found anything from salvaging Fine equipments.

1. You do get more crystals, and they're proportional to your grindfest round, but that's the only advantage.

2. Yep, it only loses in burden, and even then it's not a huge loss.

Your Exquisite Kevlar Breastplate of Protection is much better than your Exquisite Kevlar Breastplate of Deflection in my opinion. Because both its PAB and PMI is higher. Also, 2 out of 3 specific PMI is also higher.

If I remember correctly, there is also a variable loot quality bonus that increases as you go farther, up to a certain limit. Or is this gone now? (I almost never play Grindfest...)

Yes there's loot quality bonus, but AFAIK the bonus isn't huge.

What kind of weapon should and play style should be in the arena ( >100 lvl)

Huh, that's good to know (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Is it worth using absorb?

From a mana recovery point of view, of course.

I only use Absorb as Light amour user when I've already channeled everything else and I still got the channeling effect. It's a nice safety net.

All of them are viable, 2 handed mace is the most reliable, mage is the fastest.

Absorb doesn't actually recover mana, it just has an insignificant cost that can save a spirit shield/spark proc but most of the time it won't proc if you're doing regular arenas without schoolgirls.

depends on how fast you kill. i've actually had it proc a few times while I was doing IWBTH. as long as they "cast" something iirc. although i agree it's greatly up to luck in this case.

if you have -mana cost it becomes mana gain. my absorb costs 92 before aether. I think the least mana it healed for me was ~8X and highest was ~150 or so. throw in an aether and you can expect to break even/gain quite a bit of mana.

now if my other memory serves correct, skillchip did an analysis on action speed and monster skills don't take up any speed (or very little speed) ie they can skill you + hit you. in which case, the absorb does pretty good for mitigating damage here. (assuming they don't crit your ass)

What's the fastest way to rank up offensive spell proficiencies? It used to be easy difficulty in item world, but with the changes to IW, I only get like 29 rounds out of my crude items. I'm guessing easy grindfest and spam rank 1or 2 aoe spells?

O Mighty Experts, what advice would you give on Battletoads Difficulty for Arenas up to The Trio and The Three?

Such as scrolls to use, elemental enchantments (if they're worth it), armor (I'm currently packing Shade Arcanist to keep mana cost low) and physical damage (I'm currently doing 3.9k base damage).

Do you think casting Regen II even without channeling is a good decision? In the difficulties before I would cast Regen and if I proc'd channeling and if Heartseeker wasn't already channeled I would use it on Regen II.

Channeling Priority:
Heartseeker
Regen II
Spark of Life
Absorb

I don't use Spirit Shield very often since I use it for what call 'burning' through Arena Levels and for Spark of Life, plus I haven't found it very useful.

My battle items are currently:
x11 Godly Mana
x2 Godly Spirit

No scrolls or infusions currently.

Thank you for your time. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Whoa, whoa, wait.

Absorb doesn't actually absorbs mana? Wiki is outdated, then, I took its word for it :S
