QUOTE(Striborg @ Apr 28 2014, 01:12)  I've just started out, what build should one follow to focus on magic-using? [ puu.sh] http://puu.sh/8q5rU/69e2707b9a.pngHere's my stats, I don't think equip counts for much at this point. Okay, honey, let's boogie. Firstly, before going to the mage route, you should ask yourself: "do I enjoy having sex with men?". If the answer is no - maging isn't for ya, 'cause all mags are gay and everybody knows it. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) Secondly, you primary stats are Intelligence, Wisdom and Agility. CODE Intelligence (INT) - Every point adds 2 to Magical Damage formula - Every point adds 0.5 to the Magical Crit Chance formula -Every 100 points raise Coalesced Mana Chance (only Staff style) by 1%, if not already capped
Wisdom (WIS) - Every point raises base Magic Points by 1 - Every point raises Magic Regen by 0.04 per minute - Every point adds 1 to Magical Damage formula - Every point adds 1 to the Magical Crit Chance formula - Every point adds 0.5 to Magical Mitigation formula - Every 25 points raise Magic Accuracy and base Resist chance by 1% - Every 100 points raise Coalesced Mana Chance (only Staff style) by 1%, if not already capped
Agility (AGI) - Every point adds 0.5 to Physical Mitigation formula - Every 25 points raise base Evade chance by 1% - Every point above the player's level increases attack speed by (10%/level) - Every 100 points raise Offhand Strike Chance (only DW/Niten style) by 1%, if not already capped To be simple: INT=Powuh, WIS=Mana Regen, AGI=Speed to protect you little ass from giant monsters schlongs. Thirdly, you need sum fuk gear. Phase is the best, gossamer is okay, cotton is useless. Don't go for Dark Mage route - they suck so much atm even other mages are laughing at them, and that's almost like being called gay by Elton John. Also you need a dragon dildo staff. I'm not an expert in dildos, so I can't give you a good advice. That's basic information from a melee fanatic. If you want more detailed info - you should wait for our sassy little friends in semi-transparent robes to appear. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

QUOTE(zen_zen @ Apr 28 2014, 08:37)  Why, you won't touch an exquisite? I never gave it a second thought as they are just tools (my second max levelled axe).
If Burden of 7 is your limit of tolerance, you are severely limiting yourself on the choice of weapons. Any elemental axe is definitely out since their minimum burden is 14, most elemental rapiers will also be a no no, since their minimum burden is 6.3. I guess you will be using ethereal all the way which would be great if you can afford or let alone find them. I'll be using Featherweight shards to mitigate the burden somewhat - about time, since all I've been doing is selling them to generate income.
My priority: Ethereal > Item grade Given the choices of Mag. Elemental Axe and Exquisite Ethereal Axe, I would pick the Exquisite one since 0 burden really saves my ass a by a lot... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (If it's Rapier I would pick the Mag. Elemental one) The fact that every 3 points of burden reduces 4% of evade indicates that having at least 7 burden (if both weapons are enchanted) means losing at least 8% of EVD which is consider very risky for me. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) QUOTE(darkx @ Apr 28 2014, 10:30)  Do people use Illithid maces? Cuz I just got one and am wondering if it's worth anything Exquisite Demonic Mace of the Illithid Any suffix other than Slaughter for mainhand is useless cuz mainhand is about ADB and PABs (STR and DEX) so your Mace won't sell for too much. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) It can sell for <50k I guess considering it has somewhat good ADB.

I've been searching for a replacement for the Exquisite Axe for about 50+ levels and as luck would have it, my current axe dropped into my lap for the cost of a starting bid. Mind you, it took 6 starts of IW (plus 10 Amnesia Shards) before I was able to get 2 levels of Butcher consecutively at the beginning.

Hello dear Experts! First of all, my stats and Equips.  As you may think, I am a total beginner in HV and am struggling quite a bit with longer #rounds or multiple enemies. At first I read through the wiki, learned what I could achieve with Potions (I thought they cost 100 a piece so I refrained myself from doing so. Now I am fully utilizing my battle slots). I am Melee, want an uncomplicated fightstyle with no care for Mana and Spirit. I'll fight 1on1, hope for a multistrike and always target the strongest enemy out of the mobs. But now I tried my very first Item World visit and I got spurched so hard, I could even star in a gangrape doujin. 38 Floors are just a bit too hardcore for my tastes. My daily's are fighting the 3x arena quests on hard and after that I go into Grindfest once or twice during the day (though on hard, I don't survive many rounds due to being unable to cast a Cure-spell) Now my Question is: How do I increase my survivability, how can I increase my chances of victory while I fight against up to 5 mobs at the same time and am sure to at least get hit twice? Also: How do I level up fast and efficiently? I get points to alocate towards my primary attributes even though I didn't level up'd. How is that possible? Does this has to do with my proficiency? Sorry for asking this much all in one go, I am grateful for any help and consultation. Edit: Fixed some grammar mistakes This post has been edited by AIDSFART2011: Apr 28 2014, 06:35

[ puu.sh] http://puu.sh/8q5rU/69e2707b9a.pngHere's my stats, I don't think equip counts for much at this point. Equip is much, MUCH more important than stats in HV. You can keep those stats balanced and move on. Now, what's the type of magic you'll like to use? Focus on one type of spell and pick the corresponding equips. For example, if you want to use holy spells, pick some staffs which boost your MDB/EDB (oak is good to start with, hallowed oak of heimdall with good EDB is almost the best) and get some phase armors (phase of heimdall). You should get to lv.30 first so you can get some equips from the freeshops. Then start grinding, utilize supportive and deprecating spells like haste, shadow veil, imperil, weaken, etc. (if you don't get it now, don't worry. You'll get them in the future). Come back later with your current equips and see if there's any room for improvement. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

you're forgetting something: all the stats in this game (including penalties) are added multiplicatively. the evade penalty is not any where near as bad as you're thinking. my evade with my club/rapier = 39.6% my evade with my axe/rapier = 34% if i really lost 4% evade for every 3 burden i'd lose damn near 20% evade with that axe.

Well, not really since evade is added multiplicatively. The higher your evade, the less that burden takes off your evade. You are better off using the formula in the wiki to determine how much burden afects yoour evade. For me, adding 2.8 burden only takes off 0.3% of my evade. QUOTE(Kazetenshi @ Apr 28 2014, 12:18)  So after a grueling day of grinding IW I finally got this weapon to level 10 http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=9b137b36d8Is it worth anything or are wakis just too underwhelming compared to other weapons right now? Well, waki is used 100% as an off-hand weapon so a slaughter won't be too good since off-hand need high parry/accuracy to be good. And for off-hand weapons, butcher is useless. And only DW or niten use waki and since most DW and niten are shade users they want an ethereal or min burden gear( 2.8 burden for waki) to boost evade. And in general, very few people use waki because almost no one recommends waki in ask the experts thread. So bottom line is it won't sell for much, at least not as much as you expect anyway.

I believe those points you receive are your experience points. You gradually receive these as you kill stuff and they count towards your level ups, but rather than receiving them all when you level up you get them right after clearing a round. Also, I'll send some credits your way once I figure it out so you can start training your Adept Learner.

I don't know what you're getting at but seriously, picking Elemental with higher ADB than an Ethereal is a indeed viable yet cheaper choice but am I noob wrong just because I choose to spend more budget on getting rid of any extra burden rather than having more damage? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) QUOTE(Evil Scorpio @ Apr 28 2014, 12:16)  Right back at you. Since when Mace can be an offhand? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) QUOTE Also: jerking off to ADB won't get you too far.
And not jerking off to ADB means not telling the truth, thus telling invalid statements. Almost everyone knows that a 2H weapon with non-Slaughter suffix is worth a lot less than one with Slaughter suffix. Take a look at this ETHEREAL Estoc in the last lottery and this ELEMENTAL Katana in the lottery weeks ago and compare their number of tickets. Or if you please, take a look at this Mace too. Despite being Elemental, its Slaughter suffix has made it so much more valuable than the Leg. Ethereal Mace of Balance I just mentioned.

Oh so I miscalculated that EVD huh? (Should have noticed there're more brackets there...) Still I won't mind losing some ADB for that few % of EVD since it's just, very very crucial to me. This post has been edited by kos9494: Apr 28 2014, 07:01

Makes sense, I kinda expected that. I guess I'll let it collect dust in my inventory for eternity (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Another question, this is the weapon I'm currently using for 1H http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=a18926c9f0 , say I wanted to use a rapier with similar weapon damage as http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=76ec744df4 (let's assume the new rapier is also IW10) would the rapier's PA at 3 stacks make it deal more damage than the axe or is the axe gonna deal more damage just because it has way more base damage?

Oh. My. God. I thank you very much for your gift! Just yesterday evening I learned from the Training feature and am currently on level 2 of Adept Learner. With my limited Credits Pool, I was scared enough to avoid visiting this pages due to the high prices and kept myself only on the Battlegrounds. I will gladly use your credits to finance my leveling of Adept Learner. And also a thank you to Evil Scorpio for your gifts, they enhanced my equipment by a lot. I know they are good because I've never seen an "Exquisite"-tier EQ before. For me up till now I lived by the motto "Crude is Good" and lived from the battlefield drops

Since when I've said Slaughter = right-and-you-must-follow, non-Slaughter = wrong-and-you-must-not-use stuffs? I might not be as experienced as you but I won't be silly enough to ignore (again, not saying you do) the very fact that Slaughter > non-Slaughter mainhand/two-handed in terms of priceFeel free to make a shop full of mainhand two-handed weapons with non-Slaughter suffix tagged at the price similar to that of Slaughter suffixed two-handed weapons and expect some customers will ya?

The people here are friendly as far as I'm aware. I tend to just lurk here most of the time so I can learn something new that another user may ask. Also you're playing the same way as me when I started so I'll have to tell that leveling up some wisdom so you can actually cast some spells is useful, but do whatever you feel is best for yourself and be sure to check the wiki on the general advice. If you still have some questions feel free to come back. Also, sending some potions so check your mooglemail.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) Secondly, you primary stats are Intelligence, Wisdom and Agility. CODE Intelligence (INT) - Every point adds 2 to Magical Damage formula - Every point adds 0.5 to the Magical Crit Chance formula -Every 100 points raise Coalesced Mana Chance (only Staff style) by 1%, if not already capped

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I can't believe I've missed this fine print till someone with a dark sense of humour appears... Note: READ THE WHOLE DAMNED THING OR QUIT MAGING NOW! (TL:DR you're too low level to even become a mage acolyte here in Hentaiverse!!) First things first, the "all mags are gay" thingy is not to be taken literally, you can become an Acolyte just fine even you only loves 2D girls and don't enjoy gay sex thingy... except that most of the mages here are Gay for the Archmage status, not only you've got rich players walking yer ass in the path of magehood, you'll be spending loads of Credits. Real life money at times, even, to be a lightning-bruising mage. Few too many acolytes have already suffered hundreds of defeats just by attempting to play Hard difficulty due to improper mage setup and naturally, go melee out of ragequit before they have even get a 100-defeat streak. That aside, now on the main lession. It's about time you quit now, if you couldn't be bothered to read this. QUOTE 0. Basics to Maging Mages rely on firepower, speed and wisdom pragmatism. To that end, you'll have to choose an element of your liking. Then you'll start to collect the staff with the matching prefix and suffix. Or an elemental staff of destruction. As a mafe, you'll need to raise mainly INT, WIS, and AGI, with END not be too far behind. Level 100, you'll have Spark of Life. Level 200, Spirit Shield. Start getting SP Tank and raise your STR+DEX a bit to raise your SP after you've reached three digit level. Innate Arcana is pretty much a necessity for a mage. Especially for a newly recruited acolyte like you... but that thing costs more Hath than I'm willing to waste on a lowly acolyte... Oh, Vigirious Vitality will help your survival, that goes without saying. 1. About Elemental Mages First of all, choose an element and stick onto it. Then get the spike shield with supporting element, say, if your element is Fire, get an Elec spike shield. Don't ask me about the crooked elemental cycle, as an acolyte I don't know why either. To get elemental tier 2 spell, you need to have Elemental prof of 50.00, so Level 50 is the bare minimum level you can get these spells. Tier 3 Elemental spells requires Elemental prof of 150.00, so at least level 150. So...go ahead and have fun grinding! 2. About Holy and Dark Mages For divine/forbidden prof, oh, you're stuck with Smite/Corruption till you get 100.00 divine/forbidden prof. They're unlocked separately, of course. And for Paradise and Ragnarok, you wouldn't be getting them till 200.00 divine/forbidden prof, again, separately. These kinds of setup is intended for those at Level 300 and higher really. If you wanna go onmyouji route, well, safe to say you wouldn't be a full-fledged one till level 400 at least, thanks to a shitloads of the abilities you're going to slot in. 3. Depreciating spells, OMG! DEPRECIATING SPELLS! You. Must. Raise. it to 30.00, even if you can't!! Get the Better/Faster Weaken and Better/faster Imperil ability as high as you can. Highest Imperil is at Level 310, you wouldn't be kicking much of an ass as a mage till then. 4. The more MP you spend on spells, the greater is your chance of getting an increase of getting spell proficiency, As your fellow acolyte, I wouldn't be assed to send you Mana potions as they're the very lifeblood of an acolyte. Melee knights will give you some though, if you ask nice. 5. And finally... the Mark of the Magi. This is what separates a sorcerer from an acolyte, a wizard amongst the sorcerers, and the archmage amongst the wizards, so be sure to keep this in mind. The difference is primarily the levels, but that's not all there is. To get a passing grade as an Acolyte, you need to find a good exquisite+ grade phase equipments of your choosing, good luck bidding for a 6 to 7 digit figure Magnificent-grade, and a 7 to 8 digit figure legendary-grade phase. Peerless-grade goes for 8 digits, of course. I don't even need to mention that it's a common knowledge amongst the mages. Now that you have the equips then you have to Item World it. All of them, to max potency. Any and all options are open to you, including paying the Blacksmith-kun to do it, Our Blacksmith-kun here is the best archmage there is in this Hentaiverse, ya see. And finally... Phazons. They cost a premium at the price tag of ~200K, and you're supposed to forge them into the phase armor. If by luck or fortune you managed to get yer hands on them, forge them into an equip set that'll be with you for good, a damned good one. First tier is the best tier, it's would be the best to forge 10 to 20 of them each. If you can afford them on after outbidding all others for a 7-digit figure phase armor, that is. If you have successfully completed the entire Mark of the Magi, congrats. now you're a full-fledged Sorcerer. Qualifications to be a Wizard and Archmage? You'll need to work to gain the acknowledgement as one. That said, if you still would be willing to walk through this enduring (Nintendo-hard) path to haven, then I would say to thee, welcome to maging.
