QUOTE(Mikey_Mike @ Apr 12 2014, 23:04)  Yeah, also I swapped over from power to protection and noticed that I do significant less damage.
Of course, your total ADB from Protection vs Power is significantly less hence the lower damage but until your HP tank gets deep enough to absorb the damage from the mob, it's better to go with Protection because you don't take as much damage as you would with Power. As the cliche goes, you need to survive in order to fight on... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

QUOTE(LOL50015 @ Apr 13 2014, 07:38)  Oh okay, thanks.
Mmm....wonder if sell or shrine my extra coins:
Very good stuff = energy drink good stuff = stat bonus bad stuff = 1 hath bug, crystals very bad stuff = happy pill, last elixir
i'm currently thinking about this too. got some coins & don't know what to do about them. should i just wait till i got a full set (7 coins total?) then shrine them all, or shrine them as i get them? QUOTE(hki @ Apr 13 2014, 08:34)  I'm going 2H (mace)/light armor, how should I distribute my stats? I'm currently doing 4:4:4:4:1:2, but I don't believe that is very efficient.
imo, for melee classes, lvl every Stat evenly till 100. then keep lvling up Str/Agi/Dex/Edu, but keep Wis/Int 100 pts behind. if you're 1h (or want more mana&Spirit) keep Wis 50pts behind. This post has been edited by malkatmp: Apr 13 2014, 08:57

There's no difference, you don't need to shrine them in some particular order. However, in case you can't remember which type of coins you've already shrined... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

So I've got 2 Precursor Artifacts, a Doge Coin, and Lite Coin.
I know what the artifact is, but what are the Doge Coin and Lite Coin?

Nah you should keep Wis at least equal to Agi. It gives you MMI, which is rather important if you're doing PFUDOR and grindfest, ie. situation where spirit shield procs so often that spirit need to be conserved.

they're basically like Artifacts (lite ver.) for the 2014 Easter Hunt. there's 7 altcoins total(?), if you shrine ALL 7 type by the deadline April22, you get a trophy. Arena:Doge Coin & Lite Coin IW: AuroraCoin & DarkCoin Grindfest: Peercoin, Flappycoin, & VertCoin. you can read more about it in this threadQUOTE(holy_demon @ Apr 13 2014, 09:52)  Nah you should keep Wis at least equal to Agi.

maybe that's one reason why i can't do 600rds of BT fest. only 290rds & didn't get any good equipment drop, but got 10 artifact drops. ps. also, i'm a cheapass & don't wanna spend that much on the good stuff.

Going by the previous two Easter events, if you turn in a complete set of artifacts, you will get eight trophies: one for each coin, plus a bonus trophy for turning in the full set. You can assume that these trophies, particularly the bonus trophy, have a pretty high loot quality bonus and are capable of readily generating legendaries. (But of course there's always the chance that you'll get shit.) The bonus trophy also typically sells for more than a complete set of artifacts, so there's really no reason not to redeem a full set for yourself.

QUOTE(LostLogia4 @ Apr 13 2014, 04:40)  QUOTE(malkatmp @ Apr 13 2014, 03:59)  also, how big of a difference is Butcher lv5 vs lv4? an extra 5% dmg?
Now that would be a lot. A Butcher LV5 is gonna sell a lot either way, but unless if it's a Peerless weapon, it wouldn't worth spending 100 Amnesia Shards to get. If I managed to open a legendary equipment shop, I'll make sure to charge an extra 2 Megacredits for equips with Lv5 traits. every level of butcher adds 2% damage, not 5%. if you think about it, an overall 10% bonus weapon damage (read: butcher lv5) for, saying, a rapier of slaughter with heavy power set may be something like 66 points out of 4100: imo it's something not even worthy to think about it (since lv10 is surely more appealing), but for a big collective hysteria phenomenon this may reflect in a waaaaay bigger price. that's how market works... QUOTE(LostLogia4 @ Apr 13 2014, 02:43)  QUOTE(mutsdhr @ Apr 13 2014, 01:32)  1. dropped today something usefull (thx @ Event Grindaction) first time since playing HV ^^ would like to know how mutch it clould be worth !?! Peewee Shocking Katana of Slaughter If you intend to sell it, IW it to max <snip> i wouldn't do it, if i planned to sell it (and not to keep) i would send it to someone who accepts specific requests, that would have to be what market wants from a main hand slaughter weapon, like butcher lv4~5, a couple of fatality etc etc: that may cost you a bit more, but surely will give the best ROI for you. obviously, since the last level is hollowforge you can do it by yourself and spare some credits (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) nice piece, btw (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This post has been edited by Scremaz: Apr 13 2014, 12:29

Yes, if you need to. Silence is also awesome.

i'd wish i've read this before reforging my rapier for a 3rd time. goodbye 6 shards. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) though, still no IW coins drop. it seems like it's easiest to "farm" GF coins.

I probably got lucky, but AuroraCoin and DarkCoin dropped quite painlessly after I levelled up a Crude weapon on PFUDOR a bunch of times. Conversely, Hellfest was where I had no luck and I ended up trading for what I was missing from there.

did BTfest, where coin/artifact drop pretty "regularly" every 50rds. copy & paste. i'll probably start doing IW on PF. though, there's still plenty of time. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE i actually did what holy_demon did, BTfest, but only 290rds until i ran out of potions. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) though, the coin drops are pretty "easy"/consistent. got 2 Flappycoin during the first 50rds, 1 peer coin during the next 50rds, 1 vertcoin during the next 50rs, then 2Artifacts during the next 50rds, then 1peercoin during the next 50rds, then 1 fappy & 2 vertcoin during the next 40rds.

Did 100 rounds on BTfest, didn't see any coin T_T... IW isn't that painful, and I still can't get litecoins from arenas (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)
