QUOTE(holy_demon @ Apr 6 2014, 10:03)  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). And yet he spent a copious amount of Bindings of Slaughters in improving it, not to mention all the other bindings wasted on them. It would be justifiable when you're starting out when the High-grade materials are hard to come by, but it's not a good idea to stick to Exquisites in the long run. The only equipment that's worth forging to the max has to be that of the Legendary or Peerless quality, so, yep, you've already wasted 20% of your materials on an equip that doesn't deserve it. Not to mention that 600 Megacredits can buy you enough Hath for the "Follower of Snowflake" with five times my entire fortune left over. Btw, dnbdave... you have very... devily Hentai-ish sense of naming for your weapons... QUOTE(holy_demon @ Apr 6 2014, 10:03)  The difference between baron von Hath and penniless Penny is that that the former has smarter spending decisions That's a very holy-demonic comment indeed. Anyway, funny that there's someone that would spend 600 Megacredits forging Exquisites when I consider myself winning my rapier bid at 901 kilocredits to be a pyrrhic victory. Anyway, I'm not spending 10m for a legendary rapier for now. Well, maybe I can afford 5m for that, but I never upped my 1H skill until recently when I brought a rapier from Hakurei-san, so I'll focus on that. Also, "offense is the best defense" is true for mages, but that's not true for 1H and DW, so I'll be improving the Force Shield's block chance beforehand, maybe buy a legendary one if it's really so much better.

It's time for pony hunting. Does Archeologist training increase pony's drop chance?

Theoretically, yes, but 1.5-2x is still not much for Pony farming. Last I checked, Level 5 costs slightly over 1 Megacredits, while level 10 approaches 20 Megacredits: that's more than my entire fortune. A maxed out Adept learner clocks slightly over 5 Megacredits, just for comparison. Also, Quartermaster very slightly does reduces chances for artifact drop, not that it matters if you balanced both of them. I'll upload the drop calculations spreadsheet by tomorrow.

Yeah, the axe is joke holdover from the early 200 level days. Been waiting to find something comprable to Stony's axe, but something like that is really really rare and just never seen anything with the rolls and PAB's combo. Forge lvl 42 so I should get ~90% of the mats back when salvaging right?

QUOTE(DrakeXYZ @ Apr 6 2014, 05:22)  My Problem I can only get up to level 50 in GrindFest on Hell Difficulty before I start having difficulty progressing so I was wondering whether I should change to full light armor and whether my stat distribution is messed up or not
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated Thank You
Never ever mix up different armor types. And at you level you should better not play with Niten. And you should heal with cure, not with healt potion.

1. don't niten. your level is too low to get any real use out of it. 2. don't mix armor. stick with either full heavy or full light 3. don't grindfest. your level is too low to go far enough into it to matter. stick with arena runs and RE on highest difficulty possible. 4. don't upgrade intelligence again till you hit level 200. 5. get better haste, better shadow veil, better protection, and unlock enough slots to equip them @holy demon QUOTE(something @ Dec 25 2013, 03:15)  you can use this to determine if you think it's worth it or not. it'll calculate the drop chance for you

Alternate method would be QM+LotD and buying ponies with proceeds from sold equips. Not a cheap alternate but depends on your priorities. To date I've only had 5 drop personally. Really weird grouping of the drop timing too... 3 in one day (of grinding all arenas) and 2 in another. Outside of that, nada.

Don't use Niten Ichiryuu stance till you got over 100 prof for 2H and DW, all these weapon abilities won't help at low prof. More importantly, you CANNOT gain proficiency in Niten Ichiryuu, so you'll have to grind proficiencies in 2H and DW respectively. Also, spend a few hours at least spamming Weaken and all other debilitating spells (except Drain, it interrupts Sleep) you have on Grindfest, preferably to half your level. Not that I did it myself because they're very tedious hours. Also...

That was really quick from you... Anyway, you'll only get 5k credit from clearing the grindfest last I checked. And that's for 1000 freakin'round. You can earn the same amount from clearing 5 arenas starting from Fresh Meat, not to mention they pay a lot for first clears. I'm pretty sure you can clear Endgame arena by now. Also, intelligence is useless if you NEVER uses offensive spells. Cloth armor allows you to cast spells for less MP, but they're make you a damned squishy wizard. Your best bet is to stick with heavy armor if you don't use spells very much, but you should cast Haste and Protection at least. This post has been edited by LostLogia4: Apr 6 2014, 06:18

You can never obtain the best axe (beside your own drop) if there are rich people out there want to collect the top notch gear. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Aiming for Mag_max ADB ethereal axe is more reasonable. BTW, axe is only useful for Hellfest or low difficulty arena runs.

I managed to clear Hellfest with 3 slaughter - 2 protection - 1 warding with your axe, speed exactly the same as rapier (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Though these days I prefer doing BTfest (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I will try running SG sometimes with the axe (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
