If this thing reaches 100% full potential (330/330), it will upgrade itself to Level 1 and all its stats will increase slightly? Is it like that?

Uh, no.

Because it has 4PABs, you're pretty much guaranteed to get either Swift Strike (increase Attack Speed) or Butcher (increased ADB).

At MAX level (level 10), you will get a random Elemental Strike. You will also more or less have a guaranteed Butcher and Swift Strike at Level 4 each. The last level could be in either.

Existing stats will need to be Forged, in order to increase.

1 thing though: if I infused elements for the final IW run to MAX, will the random Strike be... slightly less random (i.e. can I avoid Wind Strike by infusing Wind)?

How critical / important is the Staff & Cloth Proficiency for a Mage?

My current stats stands at
Staff - 17.96
Cloth armor - 38.24

Any other methods to gain these 2 proficiencies quicker?
Any particular type of staff that is better suited for training of the Staff Proficiency?
Is the Assimilator worth training up? It is rather expensive, just the 1st level already costs 50K.

Thanks.

The method's there so if someone what to grind them, at least they should know what to do.
But when you progress, eventually your cloth prof will increase as you need more hits to kill monsters, and your staff prof will increase once you reach 220+ and start to utilize ET and magic missile (probably against schoolgirls).
Assimilator is okay if you want to get the maximum benefit from prof. The more levels you have, the closer you should get towards the max.

how does having more than 100% accuracy counter evade.

if a mob has 20% evade and I have 120% accuracy is that 100% hit chance, or do i need 200% accuracy?

Also does accuracy reduce block (or resist) chance?

If you have 120% accuracy, monster's evade will become (1 - (120-100)%)*20%=16%. So yes, you'll need 200% accuracy to completely ignore evade.

Accuracy has no effect on parry/resist. Monsters don't have block.

1 thing though: if I infused elements for the final IW run to MAX, will the random Strike be... slightly less random (i.e. can I avoid Wind Strike by infusing Wind)?

No it won't. They're calculated separately (after a bug fix AFAIK).

Thanks for the tips / advice. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Sorry for my english.

It is not the person of the English cultural sphere.(I'm Korean (The Republic of Korea))

Because it is to write it using an interpreter(google Translate), it will be hard to be understood.

Though Level is 44, I cannot complete Arena of Level 30. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

(Arena Difficulty :Normal , Random Encounter Difficulty : Battletoads)

The technique to use is Protection, Haste, Cure, Shield Bash and Spirit Stance.

Please give an advice

ps. How much performs reference of EHWiki, but becomes hard to understand the long sentence in a translation process.

I doubt whether the meaning that I want to say transmits it directly

Head over to the FREE shops in WTS and ask better gears.

Also, use Shield Bash in conjunction with Spirit Stance if possible.

1st , reset your ability tree (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
you don't need those EXP tank yet ( until lvl 200 ) & put more to MP & SP tanks
invest some in OC (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

train ability boost if you have Credit to spare ...


2nd , change your equipment ( don't mix cloth & heavy armor ) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
use same set of equipment type ( heavy or light ) since you are 1H user (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


3rd, reduce your INT stat & give it to STR , END , DEX (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Oh yeah.

Let's see if Google Translate does better on simpler sentences.

1. Reset your Abilities. Move from EXP Tanks to HP and Mana Tanks. You MUST have more Mana. Your experience will increase as you play, don't worry.

2. Try using all Armours of the same type (e.g. all Heavy, or all Cloth). Not so important right now, but should help. Also, if using Plate, make sure it is 'of Protection'.

3. Put more EXP into Endurance and Strength, less into Agility and Intelligence.

4. Consider Dual Wield or Two Handed styles instead.

5. You probably need better equipment. Upgrade everything to Superior or better. Your weapon, especially, must be 'Ethereal', if you want to use a Club/Mace.

As for everybody, thank you (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

At first I set it from easy ability reset.

Why everyone don't like EXP tank ?

Since low lv, i max it first and after that hp tank, mp tank and then (sp)oc. Maybe i did it wrong ? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Really i don't know the reason why don't put AP to exp tank. =w=

Two questions regarding HV related terms :

How should I understand 36c/exp (found on forums in threads of people offering IW services) ? 36c per every exp point or per every cleared round ?

What's proxy bidding ? I know what proxy is, but I don't see any rational reason why one couldn't bid personally in auctions. What's the gain in it ?

I only purchased a Equipment at a Bazaar(Equipment Shop).

The standard when I purchased it was a prefix
(Fine Superior -> good , Crude Average Fair -> bad)

The mixture of the tool for defense is bad; did not understand it


Weapon Type
One Hand -> Two handed

Armor
Cloth Body -> Heavy Body
Phase Shoes -> Heavy Boot

I change it so much.

Primary Attributes
Str > End > Dex = Wis > Agi > Int

Is it like this by the importance order?

This post has been edited by difso: Mar 18 2013, 13:01

Wis and Int are the least important stats for melee, the opposite to mages.

It's not that we don't like EXP tanks - I'm gonna have to fill them up myself now. It's that below Level 250, it serves no practical purpose. You level up so quickly you hardly have enough time to breathe. I was levelling at least once a day - and I'm not one of those 'clear-all-Arenas-and-then-IW-until-20-Stamina types.

It meant that the APs could be more profitably deployed elsewhere.

Now, it's a helluva lot slower than that, so yeah, EXP tanks now.

1. Maybe they should say per PXP instead. Clearing N -1 rounds is useless to the buyer, if N rounds is required to complete the IW and get the PXPs.

2. eBay proxy-bids too, you know. It's more economical. Suppose I'm eyeing a Legendary Ethereal Estoc of... Balance. Not something that everyone will bid on, but a niche audience might. But there's 2 days left, and so far it's sitting on 50k. Well, I'm willing to pay up to 1M for it, but if I don't have to, all the better, right? So, I start MY bid off at 75k, say. And then I PM the owner and say, look, I'm willing to spend up to 1M on it.

The owner then tracks his own auction, and every time someone places a new bid, he proxy-ups the bid by the minimum amount, until 1M is hit (or the auction ends). If 1M is hit and it keeps going up, well, I was never going to spend more anyway. But if the auction ends at 100k, I've saved 900k.

Also, WIS is bloody crucial for a melee. We need to keep our buffs up. I've tried playing IWBTH without any buffs (especially without Haste). Bad idea. Big mistake. I've never sparked so often so quickly.

Really i don't know the reason why don't put AP to exp tank. =w=

It depends. For low-level players, shifting AP from EXP tank will help them to survive. But it's not a must.

36c per PXP gained. We've some formulas to calculate approximate PXP required.
People may need proxy bidding as they come from different time zones. Nobody would like to stay awake till 4 am just to watch the auction ends.

I only purchased a Equipment at a Bazaar(Equipment Shop).

It depends on your build. If you are a mage, then you'll need some EDB from phases or prof from gossamers; if you're a heavy melee, you'll need protection (PMI) from heavy armors (and probably some ADB). Pick the stats you want according to the build.
Also, don't buy from bazaar. You can get much better equips at much cheaper price in WTS.

@difso

WIS is important to heavy user ( i'm heavy user ) since it increase your MP (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
don't buy equipment from bazaar ( extremely rare you find great equipment ) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

@varst

since you are here , i wanna ask is monster type determine what binding gift or just pure RNG ??

I'm Sorry, @Varst.
I understand WTS.

But don't understand EDB, PMI, ADB (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Well, I'm not familiar with eBay terms, as here eBay has very low market share.
[aukcjostat.pl] eBay market share

I knew about bidding bots on real auctions, but not about proxy bidding.

Thanks for explanation (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

WIS is important to heavy user ( i'm heavy user ) since it increase your MP smile.gif

So...HV Wiki lies on that page explaining attributes importance (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif).
