QUOTE(GodHandZaWarudo @ Apr 5 2014, 17:16)  So keeping in mind my idea of hitting hard(and not missing), relying on evasion over defense, and wanting high hp, I should stick with keeping everything equal? Is there a point at which I can focus more on STR and END?
yes, keep Str/Agi/Dex/Edu equal, because at some point 1 point of Str will cost you 200k pts & you can use that 200k pts to improve your dex 20 times and get better result. (ie Dex also improves your Damage). you can always get more damage from upgrading your weapon (or getting power gear or slaughter gear). Maxing your weapon in IW. Infusions. Featherweight Shards (that lower your burden & increase your crit% if your Burden is a lot more than 70). lastly & the most expensive options forging. QUOTE(kawaiikun @ Apr 5 2014, 17:54)  Thanks!
Also another quick question, where i can get bindings?
also is there a topic where i can learn how to use scripts?
monsters. have a group of monster farm with PL25+. people said you need at least PL500-650 for daily gifts. scripts are quite easy to use, just DL them in the script thread, extract the file, drag & drop it into your browser (Chrome) extension page. QUOTE(Owyn @ Apr 5 2014, 18:03)  how long would it take to people in WTB section to sell me crystal packs? T_T
never. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) i' had a WTB thread to buy crystal packs from 105k to 110k & no one sold me any. one guy is nice enough to sell me 1000 crystal of Tempest for ~8k. though, i got most of my crystal packs from ST-Ru's shop. he restock fast enough with plenty to go around each time @105k/pack. iirc, he still has some yesterday, but it's all gone now. iirc, there's also some stores that sells them for 108-110k/per & plenty of them in stock.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) also, my weapon only cost 150k & there's no way i'll sink 200+k on a binding of slaughter just to nudge my weapon damage from shitty to slightly less shitty. i can just spend 200k to get a better weapon without forging.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) we think the same way then... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) maybe with BoS at the same price of a mjolnir, but even so...

Just incredibly slow... This is the situaton where it does not get mouse clicks so it gives Arcane Blow instead of Inferno. The typical way to die, and regretting forever if in that exact Arena there was that precious Token of Blood...

QUOTE(Scremaz @ Apr 5 2014, 20:37)  how dramatic for a single ToB (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The fact is I usually find exactly 5 ToB in all the arenas so missing one means no Spaghetti for that day. So, what trainings increase the probability of getting a ToB? Scavenger and Luck of the Draw?

nope, hath perk tokenizer as far as i know. however you're quite lucky with 5 ToB/day, usually i go from 1 to 3, even doing all available arenas... QUOTE(bouya1 @ Apr 5 2014, 19:44)  Hi guys with what play style can i be tanky and wont have to worry about mana?
as for weapons, i'd say to test and choose the one that best suits you. as for armors, consider that a tank is heavy, but it also uses a lot of mana, especially if not-mithril. i think that the closest thing to your idea could be very-good-stats leather (with very little ITR) or power with a very big bunch of featherweights This post has been edited by Scremaz: Apr 5 2014, 21:10

still remains that Tokenizer is the only thing that could do something (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) and actually, the drop chance by monsters isn't so low, i think i could be at 40% from monsters and 60% from clear bonuses...

Tanks would prefer the Holy Sword stance: 1H with Force shield, preferably with a Rapier of Slaughter, ethereal if possible (I bought off mine from auction for 900k! just for exquisite quality - the most expensive equip I bought off so far). High block chance, spares you from casting Shadow Veil, but healing spell costs a lot due to high interference. The same goes for pretty much all other melee setups, though at least you can just attack and attack with no MP cost. I have a Staff of Focus with a few Frugal Armaments tacked on, but this setup really is squishy as hell, especially since I'm nowhere near Lv300 atm, so I used a Staff of Desturction with Arcanist Armaments for Battletoads half-hourly encounters. Speaking of which, I finally got a certain legendary staff (from the same auction no less for a measly 200k) that I would like to forge. is it better for me to IW it or forge it first? Also, what'll happen to all the forged bindings after I've used Amnesia Shards on it? And finally, what's the recommended IW difficulty at Level 200? I have 1H force shield setup, 2H setup and a mage setup. Didn't raise 2W prof high enough to use Frenzied Blows. This post has been edited by LostLogia4: Apr 6 2014, 03:10

The more important question is, can you IW or forge it? QUOTE(LostLogia4 @ Apr 6 2014, 02:38)  Also, what'll happen to all the forged bindings after I've used Amnesia Shards on it?
Nothing. Amnesia has nothing to do with forging. QUOTE(LostLogia4 @ Apr 6 2014, 02:38)  And finally, what's the recommended IW difficulty at Level 200?
Exact the diffuculty you can make it to the end.

Use keyboard+numpad. Should I bother getting new Axe/Rapier - Leg+ - and salvaging my current ones for the stat bonuses or just keep throwing bindings on the current ones? Recommendations welcome. This post has been edited by dnbdave: Apr 6 2014, 03:51

Not all the way to the max, at least, not with my current level and resources. Don't tell me I can't put these kinds of questions in advance... Is it possible to get a new forge upgrade options from gaining potencies like, say, elemental strikes?

That's to be expected.People who are high and patent enough to grind GF for crystal are just going to feed it to their monster. One more reason is that crystals price can't go over 120k (since bazaar generates them for 10c apiece, so sellers aren't motivated to sell them. If you really need crystal, just buy it from the bazaar.

Then go the way you can. I wont. No, IW and Forging has nothing to do with each other.

The axe in your sig is terrible, the rapier is meh. If you have that much to throw around just get a Leg Axe (1-2m) or a leg Rapier (2-10m). The difference between baron von Hath and penniless Penny is that that the former has smarter spending decisions This post has been edited by holy_demon: Apr 6 2014, 04:05
