Dark Imperil costs 0 credits, so don't worry (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) well, I use holy imperil on spagetthi guy and it increases my holy strike damage just get much ability points and increase everything you can - it's not that much credits anyway.

well, at this point i suppose you can just try by temporarily subtracting some AP to any other ability and after that decide yourself if it's worthy or not then: there will surely be an ability that isn't SO necessary to your play (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) This post has been edited by Scremaz: Feb 21 2014, 00:22

I'm 1h user, and sometimes use demonic kanata + ethereal waki against SG of marathon for fun. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). It may depend on where you're fighting, because dark imperil is useless to SG. (Kotana has low HP, so does not matter) And IMO there's no need to use Imperil except SG or monsters who have much HP like FSM. This post has been edited by Cats Lover: Feb 21 2014, 00:52

@Scremaz: QM and Archeologist probably beat LOTD in your situation(assuming you don't do mostly at least BT+, especially on the highest challenges) though - a good drop doesn't have to be legendary, and LOTD is a multiplier - there has to be something for it to multiply.

doh! also archeologist to consider? a neverending story! -.-" (or did you mean scavenger?) basically i've lowered the number of RE (that i do at Hell or Nintendo) and started to do Hard arenas to grind 250 prof in 2H and DW styles without gaining too much EXP. thus i'll restart also with 1H/Heavy; every now and then i do a IWTBH IW, so i suppose is about my situation (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) however the drop rate isn't very high but still acceptable, it's only that the quality is really meh: i agree that i don't need Leg drops, but as for now i don't see even Exq, is it for the low level?

Does the PL of a monster affect the chances of getting a binding from it? So far, I've just been focusing my crystals on 2 monsters and I'm wondering if I should just have an army of low PL monsters instead.

Well... again, IMO there's no need to use Imperil to normal monsters including dark mage series, even on PFUDOR. If you really want to clear it fast, you may find that even casting deprecating spells is time-wasting. BTW Niten may be the fastest melee style, but with decent and well-forged equipment. But this is just my point of view, so you'd better to test yourself by temporarily decreasing some ability as Scremaz said. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And yes, I have some forged rapier, shield, and power gears.

Low PL : 1 gift per 2~3 day -> 1 binding per 10~20 days. High PL : 6 gifts per day -> 1 binding per day. This post has been edited by Cats Lover: Feb 21 2014, 02:34

get "first" as mutch of em as you can ! PL just decides the Lower/Mid/high grade of drops (also the drain of morale ect.)..the best you get from high PL mobs is the +1% lootdrop @ 550+ ..bindings & the most important shade/phazon/destruction/slaughter ect. is a random thing !

How high would that PL have to be for 6 gifts per day? 1000+?

I'm not sure exact PL the monster could always get 6 per day, but my 700-ish monsters always get at least 6 gifts per day with their available Scavenging chaos upgrade maxed, of course.
