One or two IA slots seems to be the must for everyone, I'd say skip the gallery perks ofcourse, unless you want to.
If you Grindfest a lot, prioritize Crystarium. Spare the expensive 1000+ perks until later on, EXP bonus is cheaper to get through the training. Vigorous Vitality, Effluent Ether, Suffusive Spirit and Resplendant Regeneration are the only ones left. Grab RR as soon as possible if you're melee, otherwise VV and SS are probably your best options. Mana pots often "overheal", but you can just cast a bunch of buffs to fix that. If you seem to survive well enough, get SS. Otherwise, grab VV.

Pillow is just trying to troll/make a good story, like mechafujoishi did with the parasprite figurine. Sorry to take it down pillow (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) QUOTE(wastedman @ Nov 11 2013, 18:40)  Also what is the order of perks you guys are unlocking, as right now I only got innate arcana (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) IA is awesome but 1 or 2 is very little, I'd suggest IA 3: - IA 1 and 2 are not very useful because you still need to cast some buffs.
- IA 3 is very good because it saves more mana than casting the buffs with spirit stance and focus
- IA 4 is good as well because you do not need to cast buffs at all
- IA 5 is a waste of hath
resplendent regeneration is good for melee and one of the prof perks for mage (I guess, I'm not maging since 0.76) And, as erwtsnert says, crysarium is only good if you have enough time to put effort into doing grindfest. Not HV related but multi page viewer IS the best perk I have. It makes reading the galleries a lot more pleasurous, and you can operate it with one hand only.

I might get IA 3&4 as a mage so i can handle RE and ROB better. I don't grind 1000 rounds, but I do arena and ROB a lot, so VV, EE & tokenizer?

for the record, I consider IA4 the sweetspot and that is the IA I've stuck with even though I had the option of going IA5

It's very bad luck when in each round (starting by 097) on Eternal Darkness on Nightmare I face Mikuru (up to 109) ? Geez, bitch is hard to take down...

QUOTE(Colman @ Nov 11 2013, 18:26)  The best hath perk must be Postage Paid (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Mmm hard to say. I'd personally rate the IA series above it though.

Agreed. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) I think that's one of the best perk that a Gold star gains. Another one is not the perk, but +50% regen rate which is same with RR. QUOTE(Colman @ Nov 12 2013, 01:26)  The best hath perk must be Postage Paid (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Thoroughly agreed. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) BTW, thanks, Colman. Your stats inspired me to get VV, and it's really great for GF. Now I can clear hellfest in 150min without worrying about sudden death thanks to VV (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I have IA3, Crystarium II, and VV now, (plus Postage Paid, too. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)) and going to get Crystarium III to grind more and more. Can I gather 15+ token of blood in a day with Tokenizer? Then I think it's worth to set one of long-term targets. This post has been edited by Cats Lover: Nov 12 2013, 04:05

My fastest record is 3.5 hours using 1H heavy.

I don't own it but just by the reading and what i've heard, it increases the chance of token drops and it also increases the chance that the token dropped is a chaos token.
