also why is this Exquisite Katana of Balance worth ~6500 in Bazaar?

or what are the preference suffix or stats on a Katana?

high PXP and nothing other in my opinion. bazaar has a really strange logic sometimes...

Which of these axes would be a better weaponf for DW with a rapier?
Superior Arctic Axe of Slaughter or Superior Axe of Slaughter?

the not-prefixed one, without a doubt

Because Katana is a rare equipment like Wakizashi, Force, Katalox, Phase, Shade and Power. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

High WD with Slaughter for me, definitely.

so kinda like this Exquisite Demonic Katana of Slaughter?

oddly, balance gear seems to be quite rare, but not that useful. tbh, i still don't really understand katanas. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

treat them like a 2H longsword then, only more expensive (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

lower than the balance one that's why i'm confused. why would a balance one cost more in bazaar than a slaughter one with Demonic prefix with 1more PAB. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Katana of Balance =6579

Demonic Katana of Slaughter = 6134

Only quality matter, which can be reflected on the PxP. Unlike players having different weight for each stat, bazaar treat every stat even.

i wondered it myself and concluded that prices on bazaar are based only on initial PXP (so the quality prefix) and tier, while we buy/sell/auction the same items basing on suffixes, PABs, actual utility...
in other words, ours is a dynamic way, while Tenboro's bazaar is a static one. initially it was good, but now it should be updated imo: there's no way a player would buy a balance katana other that he hasn't enough money to buy a slaughter one but absolutely want to go with a niten set

Just wanna ask, does level (my character level) affect drop quality?

What kind of levels do i need to get to to get higher quality weapons? (Magnificent/Legendary)

AFAIK, level do not affect drop quality.
The drop quality is affected by:
-LotD training
-Difficulty
-round number (grindfest only)

In addition, arena (including RoB) also provide a drop bonus for its bonus drop for clearing them.

BTW, my first Legendary drop is at around 36x level.

360+ levels into the game? O_o

Is there a sure way to make a decent amount of credits in this game?

1. H@H, donation, bounty hunter
2. Invest a lot of time to grind with good Internet connection (4turn/s) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Uhm I'm pretty sure that round number in Grindfest only affects the number of crystal dropped >.>

I started getting very frequent leg drop from lv 320 at LotD 22/25. Being able to clear most arena on PFUDOR helps

2 main route: farm equipments by running PFUDOR arena (need investment into LoTD) or farm crystal in Grindfest (need investment in Crystarium). You probably won't be able to do either until level 300...

Get to level 200 ASAP so you can fight FSM in the Ring of Blood. Noodly Appendage goes for 55K-60K in WTB, so you'll be earning quite a bit for every 5 Tokens of Blood you scrounge up. This is probably the main source of income for players like me who don't have the time or gear to grind extensively at high difficulties.

3. Scripting (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

4. also, buying (translating) & uploading stuff, especially, for bounties. iirc, even shitty translations at volume (ie Goatse) nets a easy 1-2mil GP per day (or ~200-400k credits per day) which isn't bad.

though, personally, it's through selling Noodly from FSM (ie Ring of Blood @ 5 tokens) & bindings (from monster labs). then Arena runs where i always end up with Mag cotton/leather gear that i savage & sell in WTB.

How much LOTD does one need to start seeing Magnificents now and then from Arena runs?

How much LOTD does one need to start seeing Magnificents now and then from Arena runs?

currently, i've LOTD 17/25 and gets about 3-4 Mags per week. though, i believe i've got my first Mag ~12. i don't play much as the other guys. (~1-2hrs a day, probably more on weekends). though, after i've got 17 i've been getting very few Averages, mostly Superior stuff, a handful of Exq, very very few Mags, & 0 Leg from PF & IWTBH non-SG arena runs. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

salvage every useless items (ie cotton/leather) with above 320pxp does provide some high-grade mats that can be a nice source of income.

My guess is 18, assuming that you're doing arena on PFUDOR. At 24 LoTD, I got 3-5 Mag from doing daily arenas on PFUDOR (half of them come from the schoolgirls lol)

wait, do harder enemies (ie SG) has drop bonuses?

I got only 0-2 mags by clearing all daily arenas + daily TT&T on PFUDOR even with LotD 25/25.
Well... it's OK because I've already empty my mind. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

No, counters are activated upon blocks and parries. Blocks will stop all forms of attacks, be it regular, SP, or MP attacks. Parries will stop physical type damages, even skills. But those skills must be physical attacks, and not magical. I don't remember how to differentiate between physical and magical skills.

10 6 Your spike shield hits Deadly Moth for 5 points of cold damage.
10 5 Deadly Moth gains the effect Stunned.
10 4 You counter Deadly Moth for 3947 points of piercing damage.
10 3 Deadly Moth uses Dust cloud. You parry the attack.
10 2 Dark Strike hits Deadly Moth for 1086 dark damage.
10 1 You hit Deadly Moth for 3636 piercing damage.

Aha! I did not know that. Now I stopped silencing all monsters, just weaken them and that seems indeed to give more counters adnd hence a faster battle.
