When bidding in an auction, do you send your latest bid over to the auctioneer?

Say for example, auction ends in xx days or w\e; do you go ahead and send the prepayment to the person (and he returns if its overbid by someone else) or do you send the money after you've won the action via posting?

i just ask him to bid on my behalf...

*higher level monsters also have a bonus to drop rate.

No.

No.

PL over 500 will give a bonus to drop rate, up to a total percentage points of 15%

it a bonus drop to gameplay , not for gift checking them (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


but higher lvl mobs have higher chance give binding (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

No research supports this. A roll of 500?+ is needed for medium-grade and 1500?+ for high-grade. At PL 750? low-grades will no longer be received and the chance to receive a high-grade starts at 500?. At PL 1499 the chance to receive a high-grade maxes out. PL has no effect on what gifts are received otherwise.

That got dropped in 0.76, since very high PLs were giving too many shit bindings and not enough HG.

You do realize i'm talking about enemy drops being affected by PL and not monster pet gifts right?

Second line in the patch notes

Droprate bonus for monster PowerLevel when PL is larger than 500 was changed from (PL - 500) / 20 to (PL - 500) / 50, capped to 15.

Where did i read that high PL monsters no longer increase droprate then?

I seriously remember that as it was supposed to balance out the increased overall droprate.

scavenger was nerfed to balance that.

Some questions to High Level Mages...

- Is possible to beat longer arenas like T&T and marathons in IWBTH without do ether tap?
- How many Mana/Spirit pots usually you carry with you? (actually I'm carrying 12 Mana, 3 Spirit)
- Do you bother equip "Staff Damage" ability... or it's useless?


Thanks...

it was possible for the very best mages to do marathons without ET before the last patch, now i don't know.
T&T should not be a problem.

the amount of potions is too much situational.

staff damage ability is only useful to have a better time with ET.
mages need to equip a lot of major abilities so i guess it's the first one to bench if you need slots for something else.

Not really high level, but..
I usually do T&T arena at IWBTH while ether theft for about 15-20 rounds in my freyr set.
I can probably finish it without ether theft if I took a little more time to make more mana conscious decisions and don't have horrid gem/channeling luck.
I need around 65-70 rounds ether theft for my fenrir set, likewise I can probably bring this down a few rounds.
No real experience with marathons at IWBTH.
Currently, I have 1 Health, 1 Spirit, 13 Mana.

Fenrir set: 6664 magic score
Freyr set: 6396 magic score

I just wonder how to beat Arenas and\or Item Worlds on higher difficulties ? By showing stats:

(IMG:[www.touhou.pl] http://www.touhou.pl/wgrajnaload/LittleSweetLoli/stats2.png)

Arenas I clear so far:

(IMG:[www.touhou.pl] http://www.touhou.pl/wgrajnaload/LittleSweetLoli/arena.png)

Rest of arenas up to The Trio and The Tree (lv 200, also cleared) are cleared on level normal. I wonder how to clear other on difficulties hard or higher. Are my stats wrong or something ? I have big problems with arenas and IW that have more than 50 rounds on higher difficulties (on Dark Skies ::Nightmare:: if I good remember I use all Health Potions (3) and 4 Mana Potions (of 7 total)). Equip I use:

Main Hand:
Average Axe of Slaughter
Off Hand:
Fine Agile Buckler of the Nimble
Armor:
Fine Power Helmet of Slaughter
Average Power Armor of Protection
Fine Power Gauntlets of Slaughter
Fine Power Leggings of Protection
Fine Power Boots of Protection

Is that eq good ? Should I distribute points on other way ?

And on Training (currently have around 40k credits and wonder what to upgrade):

(IMG:[www.touhou.pl] http://www.touhou.pl/wgrajnaload/LittleSweetLoli/training.png)

I also, have questions on Bindings. What binding I don't need with this play style ? I checked the Bindings list and guessed that I don't need things like Binding of Friendship or Binding of Focus, but I'm not sure about things like Binding of Owl (is there chance to use it if I upgrade my eq by few level ?).

1st
you need major upgrade to your equipment , find sup+ for axe and elemental/ethereal
you need upgrade your gears too (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

to be honest , your weapon is ........ (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)


2nd
remove that elemental and holy/dark magic ASAP , reset them than put your ability in another thing like support ( SoL ) or depre like weaken or silence (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


for binding , your equipment don't even worthy to forge ( exq+ ) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

since you melee , don't bothering about mages binding (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

@LittleSweetLoli

tired so just a short response. 1-hand is no good for long runs, you need to do 2-hand. domino strike allows you to kill stuff at a better pace.

for 1-hand you need to get some shield/shielding armor. counters come off block and parry. You shoud find a better "of the barrier" shield.

don't wear armor without +endurance.

first and foremost though destroy that axe.

1st
you need major upgrade to your equipment , find sup+ for axe and elemental/ethereal
you need upgrade your gears too

I didn't get anything better than stuff I have now +whole stuff gives huge dmg bonus.

to be honest , your weapon is ........

2nd

your equipment don't even worthy to forge ( exq+ )

Then what is worth ?

1-hand is no good for long runs, you need to do 2-hand. domino strike allows you to kill stuff at a better pace.

So my stats are ok for DW ?

first and foremost though destroy that axe.

Ok, I go fight bare handed, surly I can clear everything xD, srsly, what may be better than this axe ?

You wasted a Binding of Slaughter on that crappy axe? Egads, what the heck were you smoking when you did that upgrade? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) The worst part is that you won't even get it back when you salvage that axe! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) 120k, up in smoke!

I'll leave it up to the real experts to advise you since I have not played 1H, and for all the chatter about how DW being the less effective fighting style, I am sure glad I chose DW. I had the first 10 levels of Arena cleared in Nintendo before Lv200 but then I went broke trying to acquire the best equipments possible while you seem to have gone for the best drops possible. Deja vu, anyone? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

@little

you not DW , but 1H (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)
if you want to become DW , change that shield into some weapon (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


for stat , reduce that int alot than increase STR , END , DEX , AGI and WIS if you have some exp to spare (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)



for equipment , buy it in WTS (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

You want a weapon that is ethereal, or at the very least, a weapon that has an innate elemental strike. A vanilla weapon that has neither is no good in most cases.

And in my opinion, at level 200, you're past the point where most sub-Exquisite equipment is acceptable.
