QUOTE(Lement @ Apr 7 2013, 16:09)  @malenk: You're correct on dovahkiin.
as a mage, once you have spark always on it'd depend on how much you grind - don't brother with crystarium if you don't do gf. I like to keep protection always on too, and haste on harder difficulties(lower ones you want to have regen II heal you more and not having it on doesn't really impact that much in how often you get hit). However, those ones don't dissipate when you die, so...not so important.
If you do gf, well, crystarium. If not, improve your gear and trainings.
well, of course i was thinking about grindfest for crystarium. and also shrining artifacts. i hate when i get 100 crystals, at least i would get 200 of them. i'm using my autocast slot for spark at the moment and i feel it's the best choice, expecially during IWBTH random encounters. very mana efficient. another autocast slot wouldn't be bad but i usually keep all the other buffs up with the channeling procs and the mystic gems i get so it would not change my life nearly as much, even if the 15% reduction on the upkeep cost is nice. i guess that getting more points into innate arcana would be more useful with the estoc/plate setup. still you have not answered me about what should i do to get more credits/hath. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) oh, another question: should i get a 21 collectables set for the skill or it's not worth it at this point? (i have 3 of them right now)

(i have 3 of them right now) Simplest way to get plenty of credits would be to run through all the Arenas, every day, up to T&T, on highest difficulty setting possible. Then, run through GF/IW on Easy/Normal. I can do up to 40-round Arenas on IWBTH fairly easily and in a reasonable amount of time. Doing them on BT is more than twice as fast, with only a 20% penalty on credit collection - which doesn't impact on your clear bonus. Beyond T&T, even clearing on Normal nets you about 100c-200c per schoolgirl. It's been a while since I did a marathon, so I'm kinda going on memory. The GF/IW on easiest difficulty is simply to grind artifacts. Each potentially netting you 3 hath (if your luck is Tyche-class). As for the ponies, don't pay too much for them. They rely on physical damage (and hence melee profs). Insane cooldown as well. But try your luck with the artifacts.

So I am level 105 an have 9.98 deprecating. Considering I unlock silence soon, should I spend a day chugging mana pots and spaming weaken? What level should I aim for?

thanks (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) i think that collecting a full set of 21 figurines would cost me around 810k so i think i will pass for now. btw i could sell the artifacts for 13k but i don't see many people buying them so i think i will continue shrining them like i always do. i think i will go for faster arenas and grindfest since i also need crystals to increase the level of my monsters.

Does the quality of an equipment determine how fast its stats will improve over the levels? For example, will a crude weapon increase 1 in weapon damage while an exquisite improves in 4?

It is recommended to have Deprecating proficiency 60%-80% of of your current level. So yeah, keep spamming weaken. QUOTE 5 2 You fail to weave the spell into the existing effects on the target. 5 1 You cast Poison. Is this due to Curse weaver too? The monster has already gained Weaken & Silence effect. Sometimes I could cast 3 Deprecating spells on a single monster with success. Sometime not. This post has been edited by hujan86: Apr 8 2013, 03:50

Sometimes you pass the Curse-Weaving check, and sometimes you don't. See formula: http://ehwiki.org/wiki/Spells#Curse_WeavingCurse-Weaving might be removed in the next patch...

Go grab a 20%+ mana conservation staff and some cheat frugal cloth armor and you can increase your prof incredibly quickly and easly. How much does difficulty affect Token drop rates; blood in particular? This post has been edited by Nightwishman: Apr 8 2013, 06:01

Difficulty doesn't affect token drop rate. They are random both for blood and chaos. Only way to raise their drop rates would be getting tokenizer perks

What's the more efficient way to complete End-of-Days? Using 2H-Estoc or Mage-Holy/Dark?

As a melee, DW schoolgirl marathons, not 2h.

@Malenk : Regarding artifacts sell https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=118097QUOTE So I am level 105 an have 9.98 deprecating. Considering I unlock silence soon, should I spend a day chugging mana pots and spaming weaken? What level should I aim for?
As a mage I didn't give much thought to deprecating proficiency which is at 151.84 and I didn't notice significant discomfort in weaving curses (mostly when I have to cast 3+ spells on FSM some attempts fail). I have trained Assimilator up to the 4th level and the proficiency slowly rises on its own. Honestly during arena runs, I rarely use any deprecating spells which is waste of mana as most of monsters drop dead after dark/holy combo. QUOTE What's the more efficient way to complete End-of-Days? Using 2H-Estoc or Mage-Holy/Dark? As mage(dark one here) you only need to watch out to not run out of mana. With weaken and imperil you can easily ET schoolgirls, so it's easily doable at heroic, but it takes damn long to clear the whole arena. Dark mage owns most of mobs in the arena composition and Konata is the only one causing problems. This post has been edited by HNTI: Apr 8 2013, 13:10

HNTI: QUOTE Artifacts: 579 traded Ability Points: 13 (2.25% chance) Nigh-worthless to me, but I paid a fair penny for 65 levels of AP training Attributes: 0 (0.00% chance) Hath: 360 (24.01% chance; 0.62 Hath per Artifact) 9300 at 15k Crystals: 272 (46.98% chance) 2710 with 150k packs Energy Drinks: 155 (26.77% chance 3212 @ 12k Total 15222 Admittedly, with someone who has not filled in their attributes and has no crystarium, the total would come at less than 13k if attributes and aps are worthless to them, but if they have not they probably aren't worthless.

a bit? i don't think so. a fully trained scavenger doubles your basic drop chance, so also doubles your token drop chance. Tokenizer I only doubles your token drop chance. to fully train scavenger you need almost 34M, for Tokenizer I you need 1000 hath, 15M in credits. if you only care for tokens going for tokenizer will double your chances at less than half the price, but Tokenizer II costs 3000H/45M and Tokenizer III costs 5000H/75M. a half trained scavenger coupled with Tokenizer I gives you the same bonus to token drops of Tokenizer II, for only 15.5M instead of 60M, and a fully trained scavenger coupled with Tokenizer I gives you the same bonus of Tokenizer III for only 49M instead of 135M. so, if you want more tokens the way is to boost scavenger at least up to 25/50 before getting Tokenizer I, and maxing scavenger before even thinking of getting Tokenizer II and III.

Dark mage owns most of mobs in the arena composition and Konata is the only one causing problems. in my opinion training assimilator is a huge waste of credits. i'm nearly at level 250 and the leveling speed has slowed down so much that proficiencies are naturally catching up to my level. save for deprecating, but grinding deprecating is really easy: take your best mana conservation staff, go in a easy crude IW, kill all the monster save for one, cast weaken on him, press R and put a weight on the key, go back after 2-3 minutes to drink a mana potion.

Hi just come across this: when I'm doing battle and press D to defend, my browser keep sending me back to the previous turns. Can anyone tell me what kind of bug is that and how to fix it? /__\
