What is the magic number for Monster PL for the best profit again? 499, 650, 750, 1499, or as high as possible?

Another question about 1H, does force shield's slightly higher block rate make up for 30 interference?

i would say 750+++ so you dont get low mats anymore and the chance for high grade are also a bit better....

Another question about 1H, does force shield's slightly higher block rate make up for 30 interference?

if you use shade (leather maybe okay to) go with what ever decent shild you have, if you use plate its no good
coz its slow, better would be power and since powers burden kills your evade and you suffer low ressist natural you want the highest block what you can get and a force would do a better job doing so. (if you suffer from the interf. just feather it). from a power prot point of view only mage monsters annoy a bit hiting sp shild, the most of them spirits and celestia.... hope i could help you!

There is no profit from monster IMO. If you want HG material, I would recommend PL 650+. If you want to have daily win (material), PL 1000+ is required recently.

Yes, IMO.

So basically buying forging mats with crystal pack money is more effective than feeding crystal to monsters to get those mats?

Yes, IMO.

as in, you will actually use less mana/sprit pots with a force shield?

LotD 23/25 here and so far have only got 1 good drop from TTT out of around 40 try.
Good drop mean item that worth 200k +.

I also get crappy ones a lot of time even after 25/25, as nobody_xxx always said. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
But decent legendary drops are shown bit by bit nowadays for me. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Letting go of my greed and empty the mind is the best for get good drop.
I think that 'TT&T is the place that gives me Noodly Appendage only, and the others are just bonus' (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

So basically buying forging mats with crystal pack money is more effective than feeding crystal to monsters to get those mats?

Yes. But if you have an monster army, you do not need to worry about the price fluctuation of the binding and HG material.
FYI, my army should worth around 17M credits (assume 100k per crystal pack) and bring me around 4 HG mater per day.

as in, you will actually use less mana/sprit pots with a force shield?

It depends. If you forge the block chance, the defense ability of force shield is so good that can allow no heal arena runs.
More blocks also give more counters so faster killing speed can be achieved.

It'll eventually come to a point when more block chance won't increase your counters' DPS by much, because the max number of counter every turn is hard limited.
Instead, you should think of forging block as an effective mean to increase your PMI/MMI so that you could trade those stats on your armor parts for damage instead. Like that you get better kill speed and lower the amount of damage taken because you don't get hit as often.

My point: Force shield's high block chance allow for more damage-oriented armor setups, thus increase kill speed and effectively reduce the amount of replenishment items needed for the same length battle series. If you are going for heavy, be sure to always couple Force shield with power armor of slaughter parts if possible.

Thanks to the ST-Ru I have a really good mace. My question is: will I be able to buy something considerably better for ~150k or should I just use this for a couple of months and save for good magnificent/decent legendary? My armor consists mainly of superior shades.

You can probably grab an exquisite ethereal mace of slaughter for 50~150k in an auction. I'm not too sure about the price.

Some ungoing auctions:

Ace Amuro's auction
TH-01 Exquisite Ethereal Mace of Slaughter Current Bid: ()

Komica Island Auction
TH4 [] Exquisite Ethereal Mace of Slaughter [seller:StonyCat ] Current bid: 50k ( aramashi )

I'd say a slaughter mace is a small upgrade compared to uptiering 2-3 of your superiors to exquisite shade. Getting 3 decent shades is definitely possible with 150-ish k

So I heard you like PAbs, got this from random encounter just now:
http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=bdea30f00f
is it worth much? I like my http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=7c888bfe28 more anyway and I'm not into arcanists

FYI, my army should worth around 17M credits (assume 100k per crystal pack)

how much monsters you have? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Ace Amuro's auction
TH-01 Exquisite Ethereal Mace of Slaughter Current Bid: ()

I'd be interested in that BP for my Arcanist set.

I've got a few things I'm not using I could trade for it...
Mace: http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=4cc87ce25c
Helmet: http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=4a794e4798
Leggings: http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=a261a13c8e

So I don't know what the heck i should spend my credits on now, everything seems like a marginal upgrade at the moment now that i randomly got
Magnificent Etheral Longsword of Slaughter from a shrine

im running mostly full shade as well, ive found its much better than my full set of crappy power armor
Superior Shade Breastplate of the Fleet
Superior Cobalt Shade Helmet of the Fleet
Exquisite Shade Gauntlets of the Fleet
Fine Shade Leggings of the Fleet
Superior Leather Boots of Protection

My question is what should i do next? im thinking of trying to work my way up to 50 hath for innate arcana, also i think of iwing my weapon to max. Is there any point in buying anything other than pots until level 200+?
What should i buy gear wise when i get to higher levels? is the really great gear worth it? it personally doesn't seem to be for me.

I bought it few days ago, it only helps econom one turn of casting spell at the start of random encounters, nothing else.

There are NO level restrictions on items, so you can buy em anytime.
shops in WTS sections give out pots for free, along with mid equipment.

What should i buy gear wise when i get to higher levels? is the really great gear worth it?

gear which is cool at everything, at PABs, stats, prefixes\suffixes etc.
if you're going for light armor I'd recommend 'set' items which give a lot of bonuses, like shade * of shadowdancer\arcanist
those give pretty much according to wiki and I've seen like tons of those so Can't say those are rare, my auction (see signature) now is like full of such and barely anyone wants em anyway cuz they already got simular items (I suppose).
- I got all my gear for not more than 100k (most for 40k or 50k)

i think of iwing my weapon to max.

that would take ages ;p I just payed 300k to level my mace to lvl10 (now IW may be cheaper after HV changes)

P.S. - I still don't see how people survive with two-handed weapons other than Mace = you don't stun everyone - they kill you.

I've got a few things I'm not using I could trade for it...

items look pretty sucky ;s (well except leggings, but those are not shadowdancers)

Well, since Owyn doesn't want to trade for 'em, I've got some gear to give you. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

For some, the extra damage of their weapon combined with the high mitigation/evasion of their armor make stunning less important...

I'm not one of those people. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So, would you sell me that BP then? PM me.

thanks for the leggings Drakewyn!

Start replacing those shade fleet with shadowdancer. Crit chance is pretty useful to counter those annoying monster'sparry/evade. Or you could get actual decent shade piece with sup+ EDB and 3+ PAB, Alternatively, you could IW that longsword. It will serve you very well all the way to level 225, when schoolgirl marathon will force you to consider estoc/rapier.

About innate arcana, others may disagree with me on this, but I find it pretty useless, considering my playstyle to only cast buffs on Spirit Stance. Spell on IA, on the other hand, varies its mana use depends on your current Spirit stance, and doesn't proc Channelling, which saves a LOT of mana if you use it to cast Heartseeker or Regen. IA has some use for the beginning turn, or near the end, but it hardly justifies the 500k credit cost. With that much money, you can gear yourself with full ex+ shadowdancer, or 1-2 ex piece of power slaughter, or pay for 2 IW service to max potency.

I see, im looking into someone iwing my longsword atm, why is longsword bad? is estocs/rapiers pierced armor that good?

It's generally thought that the "bleeding wound" effect is the weakest one.

When you're dealing a lot of damage (like a slaughter weapon is supposed to), reducing the amount of defense an enemy has is very useful... plus, it stacks with itself. So if an enemy has been hit with it once and has their defense reduced, having it go off again reduces the enemy's defense even more.

Stun is considered very useful for the reason Owyn gave... preventing enemies from hitting you back. Especially when going 2H style, because with a lucky round you can stun 3-5 enemies in one swing.

That being said, the Longsword you have is still very impressive... especially at your level.
