[X] My Assistant

Lol.
I basically used IPU & FSM rewards to buy artifacts. Sold the hath when it was at its peak (up to 4.5-5k) and bought more artifacts. Continued until the credits ran out.
Then bought 30 more with credits I saved up.

I bought 126 artifacts in total last month.. Could've gone further but decided to start a bit of training. I have maxed everthing I needed for melee anyway. Now I can slowly put lelftover AP in spells. Or exp.

Am I doing something wrong?

I just reached lvl40 and barely managed to beat Fresh Meat arena using 5 average health potions and having luck with 2nd winds.
Rapier
Shield
Helm
Body
Hands
Legs
Feet

I always keep shield up, haste as well if I'm not mp starved. I focus on the stronger monsters first (manticore/tentacles/greens) but leave minibosses for last.
I feel like it takes ages to kill something (usually 4-6 hits) and I take loads of damage. I could DW using this Dagger but that would equal to even more damage I think.
So, anything I could improve?

Alternatively, would it make sense to start maging? I imagine AoE would quickly take care of the monsters in my currently available arena, but I dunno.

Your Rapier have very low damages, what did you expect? Try finding a new one.

At low LV, bleeding weapons work pretty well, actually.

Or try maging, it's up to you.

That is good.
I had much trouble with Fresh Meat very much, too.
However, because I got advice here and it could be cleared too easily with being surprising when I changed tactics to Mage.

i was also using a melee build and fresh meat was very challenging for me at the lower levell 40's. I saved up some money to train pack rat to hold more mana items. For a melee character the higher level of the arena's are some kind of endurance battle.

Also after level 30 i decided not to use a rapier and shield for the arena challenges due to the low damage output (i did use a rapier and shield for the arena of blood though and i was never killed nor needed a life scroll). Dual wield seems a smarter choice, because you can still have a decent parry to offset the loss of blocking if your off hand weapon is a dagger.

Edit: eventhough it was implemented before i cleared fresh meat, but getting a point in the scroll slot is an investment. You can carry a "free" shield or avatar scroll to reduce damage by 25% for 50 turns or to get that flee scroll. (they seem to stack on their skill counterpart)

Edit2 : your equipment is much better than mine (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I equip a rapier only when I fight against the legendary.
It is blown off with magic if it is a battle with the boss. Or, I equip a shortsword and a shield, and it is the front breaking.

I am still working on a magic build, still using a melee build untill i can find a decent staff. thus i'm still forced to use rapiers (with poison ) against bosses in RoB.

edit: i didn't notice his 48+ burden. He has a decent flee and block but his low damage output and average- or low speed might be a problem.

He must make the problem of burden such an a little more light shield that it is the same and which he can block.
A tower shield is too heavy in the present level.

i need some advices on my setup and stats if i'm doing something wrong... i started recently dw after using before sword and shield
this is my stats [www.pctunerup.com] (IMG:[www.pctunerup.com] http://www.pctunerup.com/up//img/png.gif)

i have also these pieces
dagger
t shield
t shield
breastplate
breastplate
gauntlets
gauntlets
leggins
sabatons

all equip except rapier was free stuff gently donated by some people
i just don't know what setup can do better... i'm a warrior and i use only supportive and curative magic (too much interferance for using poison)

i was thinking to add a cloth somewhere not of high level with some magical protection, just to raise cloth proficiency

the arena battles are limited per day?

Yeah, you can only do each arena once a day.


I've got a question myself. Did the drop rate for certain scrolls go down drastically or is it just me? I swear I haven't gotten a single Scroll of absorption since the latest update, which is odd to say the least. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

i also had noticed that potions are spammed like crazy but scroll are rare almost as objects... i tend to have more infusions than scrolls, warding and swiftness mostly

up

hi i have some question that i couldn't fount in wiki

-if i offer a trophy to shrine, could it drop equip piece of a level higher than mine? or drop system is the same of battles? is the reward somewhat dependant of level or trained abilities?

-i had a piece of chainsaw... is there some reward for collecting all pieces or i better do offering it?

-what are the right challenge level to get most possible credits from grindfest?

-for item worlds: better make more rounds at lower challenge or do less round at high challenge level? just to maximize exp receive and time wasted...

Got Fine Emerald Axe of the Ox. Sigh. That makes it 5 decent axes I have, and I cannot decide which to use. Suggestions? Exquisite being leveld up, Prism 1, Prism 2, Sapphire Battlecaster. Only the battlecaster takes me down below 25 interference in the current setup...

Yeah, you can only do each arena once a day.

Yes of course, but I have unlock 8 arena battles (total), but I can make only 5

the 24h limit time doesn't reset at midnight but at the same time of when you have cleared the arena... so if you had cleared it at 23.59 you can enter again at 23.59 of the day after

the 24h limit time doesn't reset at midnight but at the same time of when you have cleared the arena... so if you had cleared it at 23.59 you can enter again at 23.59 of the day after

and if I unlock new and still not possible?

Its not a 24h reset, it resets at the dawn of the new day event.

you can only attempt each arena challenge once per day, regardless of whether you clear it or not.

the arena challenges reset at every dawn of the new day.

clearing an arena challenge for the first time will unlock the next one but you can only attempt it if you met the required min level.

I've come to the conclusion that Sword Chucks is better than Axes, but harder to find.

Crits are good, Mmmkay... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
