Gotta three questions

1. Does difficulty lvl (lowering it to cake) affect only exp from monsters or also amount of credits gained in grindfest?
2. You can train skill called Scavenger. This rises drop rate of things from category 'items', right? And Luck of the Draw as well, items only and nothing more?
3. Formula for damage taken is [(Original Damage Roll- Absorption)*(1- Physical/Magical Mitigation)*(1- Specific damage type Mitigation)]= Damage taken.
So the formula for damage taken from scary ghost contains physical mitigation 2 times?

Thanks in advance.

yes.
the first increase all drops, the 2nd affects all drops except artifacts.
No. It's a specific mitigation called physical that enter in the equation.

If you're only starting now, it's normal since your elemental/divine proficiencies are low. The easy way to kill them is to use the 2nd/3rd tier of their weakness. i.e. dalek: use chain lightning.

Hmm, seems like i need some AP, i only have tier 1/2 elec and tier 1 fire.. Will get the others asap, thanks..
Elemental proficiency is about 100 and divine is 0 >.<

Damn, i need a lot of ap or need to reset it, will see what to do later, just got annoyed in the last IW.. in 40 rounds i found 3 bosses

Which is more useful of the two: Shield Blocking or Parry?
Both can block physical, magic and spirit attacks right? Is it better to fight in RoB with a good shield with very high block or is it better to find a dagger with high parry to complement rapier/axe? I find myself facing a choice between focusing on getting better shield equipment or better parry gear. Which is better to protect yourself with when fighting Gods, Bosses, etc? This is beside getting the high evade from silk of course.

Parry can only block physical attacks, Shield blocks both. But using bewilder+absorb you'll survive many magical shots. So using DW it's generally faster to take down a boss/legendary in RoB, because proccing bleed and poison+penetrated armor will do most of the damage to them.

Block, but if regen can keep up the damage rapier/axe is better because the bleeding will save more turns- > less recasts, damage taken, MP saved.

yes.

You can't answer yes to an either or question.

Sorry I'm almost asleep right now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Affect both.

Fixed

I ran into this same problem when I switched as well. Maging requires a lot of AP/investment.

With bosses, hit it with a weaken, and then cast as normal to kill everything else. Then poison it and go to town. If MP is an issue, you can abuse ET. It gets easier as you level up, as always.

Hello everyone, I'm just checking to see how I'm doing so far. I wish to become a melee tank character and am currently grinding heroic in a flimsy item since it gives good exp and sometimes yummy drops. Here is my current equipment so far and my stats/abilities. I'm trying to raise the first four stats near my level, while keeping END the highest, and letting int and wis lag behind yet still not neglecting them completely. For abilities, I plan on maxing the mp tanks and then getting poison.

As you can see from my equipment, I have no shoes or gloves, and my helm isn't good. (was a drop) I'm aware that I need to upgrade my equipment and luckily I should have enough credits to update a piece or two. I usually sell off most of the items as I don't use them, but I plan on keeping the elixers and other strong items. Just wondering if I was on the right track and all.

This is my equipment:












These are my stats/abilities:

Yeah, but right now, those bosses are not even worth killing anymore.. so if i see one i just flee and save time :/
But man, maging is totally awesome, im making 4x the exp i was making in half the time... Thats means i can even do some grindfest once in a while ^^

Be happy that you made the switch when you did. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The availability of elementalist equip just went all to shit.

You'll eventually reach the point where running into a boss is barely even a speed bump. I can 2 shot any boss but a Mithra (4 shots usually).

Yeah :/
That update ... no comments

Ten should have just done what i said, create a new currency for HV..

Cna someone link the Wiki page to know what stat gives you more Magic Points or whats the formula for Magic Points

Basically, anyone who's been here long enough to remember the Primary Stats -> Derived Stats thread. Even though its stickied. Because no one knows how to fucking read, and a stickie is like a quarantine zone.
