I'm not sure about players below 400, but it's definitely fine for me. I do all my arena's on PFUDOR with full power slaughter + 2h estoc. Sometimes toss in a few heals a here and there. It's only terrible for me in GF or IW in later rounds 80+ Maybe as a starting point, i suppose you need about this much PMI and ADB:  On PFUDOR with this setup, It take's me around 9~10 min on Trio 18~20 min on End of Days 27~29 min on Eternal Darkness 44~48 min on Dance with Dragons Forgot to note, you have to be forged if you're planning to go PFUDOR with full slaughter 2h estoc. Non-forge isn't enough to cut it (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) well maybe but you'll have to weaken and spam protection scrolls to stay alive.

Did you ADB forge your slaughter power gears? What % of that ADB is from your estoc?

Let's see i have 10202 ADB atm. If i remove my estoc it drops to 5138, so i lose about 5064 ADB just from my estoc alone (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Well you gotta work with what you've got available to you (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Hopefully those clear times aren't too horrible for my lvl, but there's still a lot of room for improvement (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

you guys think it'd be possible to get fair value from selling/auctioning this? Legendary Arctic Wakizashi of BalanceI won that 373 pxp eth waki from the lottey a week or so back, so not gonna need this anymore, but not sure if there'd be any interest. Was thinking it might be better off just salvaging to get the bindings back.

haven't really calculated the worth of the materials I put into it yet. Just seeing what others have to say in these sort of cases. I'll see if I can scrounge up the costs. The waki market seems to be oversaturated at times; you see that last leg eth go for 3mil, then you see some elems go for like 250k or less, which is why i'm uncertain about its marketability. bah, wiki on material costs in forge section is outdated. Anyone know what it is now? Wiki says lvl 1-2 should be 0HG / 5MG, but I have 1HG / 4MG for non damage lvl 1 upgrade. This post has been edited by etothex: Feb 14 2014, 23:29

seems legit... [edit] it doesn't enter with the current topic, but since holy_demon mentioned rapiers of the nimble i've a doubt: accuracy > 100% could serve also as anti-evade, but does offhand > 100% have an actual utility? This post has been edited by Scremaz: Feb 14 2014, 23:33

When you're ready, give me a price, I'm interested. I think it depends on the quality. High pxp items require 1hg at level0. I think wiki is outdated. This post has been edited by treesloth16: Feb 14 2014, 23:46

okay. hmm, i don't exactly recall, but i think it was pxp 350, maybe 352. That would put quality around 1. All the new 370+ gears would be well over 1 if going by the pxp-100/250 estimate.

QUOTE(Benny-boy @ Feb 14 2014, 14:30)  Oshiete HV sensei's (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) 1. What is the best use for superior equipment? Which can be sold? 2. For how much this can be sold? Or auction? A) Magnificent phase robe of surtrB ) Exquisite etheral rapier of the nimbueC) Magnificent katana of slaughterD) Exquisite hallowed willow staff of destructionE) Exquisite phase pants of fenrirF) Magnificent frugal cotton shoes of protection3. What do you do with your gossamer/kevlar/scythe/dagger and other equip that "dont drop anymore"? Especially low quality ones. 4. Power Heavy much better than plate for high level battles? 5. Which equipment can be salvage for mid and high quality res? Are there any use from scrap res? 6. Is it worse to unlock auto-cast slot (Innate Arcana) for 2H Heavy? Which spell you recommend to put there? 7. Shrine equipment drop are random or affected by training etc? 1) Superior quality equipment is hit-or-miss when selling. Ethereal weapons, Power, Phase, Shielding & Shade armors are all good and will get you cash in general. 2) I couldn't really give you good prices, but the Rapier will probably auction well. 3) I've got one piece myself. There's some collectors out there who like that stuff... shop it around. 4) Start with Plate, then start mixing in some Power of Protection & Power of Warding. Once you're all Power, start mixing in some Power of Slaughter. Find the mix that works best for you. 5) Can't help you with salvage... but the scraps you can send to me! (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'll even pay 2c each (compared to the 1c that the Bazaar gives). 6) No, it's not. Sure, the cost-per-round is a little higher, but IA is very nice. I haven't regretted activating it at all. IA1 for melee users is almost always Haste & IA2 is usually either Shadow Veil or Spirit Shield, depending on your preferences. 7) Shrine drops are only affected by the quality level of the trophy, not by any training or character level you have.

And does spirit shield is so usefull in IA?

5) salvage is always a pick-a-ticket-and-turn-the-wheel-of-fortune run however, the drops which usually give the best chance to return HG are exq with PXP around or above 321 and 3 PABs (we're speaking of 20% or so), but once i had a HG from a crappy exq with about 316 and only one PAB and sometimes i have LG with pxp325+; someone also says that forge level matters, but i can't confirm it: it's almost certain though that many are trying to understand it but none has a sure answer (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) as i said, is especially a matter of luck, and you decide if gamble with the HG challenge or use/gift/sell the piece (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) This post has been edited by Scremaz: Feb 15 2014, 01:20

2. For how much this can be sold? Or auction? A) Magnificent phase robe of surtrB ) Exquisite etheral rapier of the nimbueE) Exquisite phase pants of fenrirThese are nice and should fetch decent prices. (200k to 800k, maybe more) 3. What do you do with your gossamer/kevlar/scythe/dagger and other equip that "dont drop anymore"? If they are Exq and below, salvage or bazaar. 4. Power Heavy much better than plate for high level battles? More offense is better. 5. Which equipment can be salvage for mid and high quality res? Are there any use from scrap res? generally 325+ give HG. Should salvage if you don't want it or can't sell it. 6. Is it worse to unlock auto-cast slot (Innate Arcana) for 2H Heavy? Which spell you recommend to put there? IA is bomb. 7. Shrine equipment drop are random or affected by training etc? Random.
