That's why I trained AP Boost for 275 times. The cost is about 130k now that is too expensive. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

I had about 88 Ability Boost. And it's totally insufficient for an elemental mage setup, let alone everything else.

Get a Mag+ Force Shield
Get a Mag+ Rapier (preferably Hallowed IW10 or Ethereal)
Get a set of Mag+ Power Armor of Slaughter
Get 1h & heavy armor profs above 300.

Be sure to use Infusion for Holy/Dark (whichever one(s) your weapon doesn't have). You'll probably need 6 of each.

Use 2 feathers on shield & a couple (or all) pieces of armor.

I'll just stick to Cats Lover's plan, changing to 1H Heavy just for aDwD is not only overkill, but costs me credits better spent to forge my staffs well enough for the job, thanks.

Anyway, how did you calculate stat bonuses from cloth armor abilities? (nevermind, direct calculation)
Also, what's the most effective way to grind staff proficiency?

No more DW? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I freed up AP from my mage&cloth armor abilities pretty much every bloody time I changed into 1H or DW, so naturally, there would be occasions where I get pwned on PFUDOR RE's due to wrong ability setup, usually due to limited spell range (not to mention my usual pwnage from too many powerful mons ganging up on me). On top of these AP boosts, I have 2 extra equip sets as well.

Equipment a staff + full leather of protection and clear arena as 1H (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Make that 2H (you can't bring a shield with a staff). preferably with Dovahkiin title.

My goal was by just changing the equipment set, not resetting the abilities.
But too expensive to achieve.

Well, I'm using T&T's last round where Yggdrasil cures the others infinitely.
All you do is just cast Regen at proper time and just cursor at enemy with Mousemelee.
DW, Deprecating and Offensive spell can be also done by SpellSpam.
(Yggdrasil must not be at position 'C' and you should unslot your 1-tier offensive spell's ability which increases the range, though.)
You should unslot Spike Shield as well if you want to do this (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeah! so I reached level 300!

And I will be only the 2nd person besides Cruelsion to publicly announce here that I'll attempt DwD on BT at level 300!

will post again later after i try out with this longsword borrowed form scremaz.

as it turns out that longsword was a bit too weak, plus i had this katana lying around so i figured it would do just as well. did the same 48 round IW from before with the same armors.

long story short, i wouldn't recommend using this strategy with longsword/katana unless it's a damn good one (at least mmax damage + max bleed + forged + IW10) and you play on a difficulty where you can kill enemies in less than 12 turns after casting FRD. you get less damage when recasting FRD thanks to no PA, and bleed procs every other turn thanks to higher attack speed.
for reference, i could only use this strategy on nintendo IW with the above katana

welp, back to DW i go (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

How much damage does FRD does anyway? Is the damage like backstab when blinded?

rly? if u say so ^^

how many turns needed to go through festival and how much turns per second in this case?

I did clear DwD on IWBTH with 1H Heavy right after 300 lvl without using any potion, and it took 4 hours for me.

Nah its equal to one single hit of frenzied blow (keep in mind frenzied blow does multiple hits)

OFC deals damage equal to backstab with blinded (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

it depends but its nowhere near that much.

during my runs with estoc it did ~20k with 3x PA, but katana it only did ~5k.

Well, it's not a very big deal, just that people don't announce it.
DwD is 150 rounds and my connection could probably do 2-3 turns per sec if that's what you're asking.

Fine, challenge accepted (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
I'll try to do it tomorrow on PFUDOR using DW light but with potions to speed things up.

Oh, that's not very painful.
And I sent you my waki for IW servic (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Level 420, it was a long time ago.. and in another version of HV
and I've already got the Dovahkiin on level 300, 14.03.18
so question was about the festival (grindfest)
and not about time but about turns
however thanks for reply ^^

Just got this Ex Pants of Stutr from RE.
Much better than my Pants of Heimdall (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

can i ask how high the pxp of an equip needed to yield high grade materials?

I am a long time lurker, recent donor (=w=) and would like to ask for some advice.

With my limited comprehension after reading the EH-Wiki on the HentaiVerse, I have leveled up to level 56 within the time span of about 2 weeks (which is quite slow compared to the others on the board). After reading through the topics and comments on this board, I think I must have done something wrong.

These are my stats.





Here are my training levels.



Also my abilities.



Leveled
HP Tank 3
Better Health Pots 3
Dual Wielding Damage 1
Light Armor Accuracy 1
Light Armor Critical 2
Light Armor HP/MP 1
Better Cure 2
Better Protection 1

I play at the difficulty level HELL using the Dual Wielding style and Light Armor.



or in URL Format

Superior Shortsword of Swiftness
Average Shortsword of Balance
Average Leather Helmet of Protection
Average Leather Breastplate of Protection
Average Leather Gauntlets of Dampening
Superior Leather Leggings of Protection
Average Shade Boots of the Fleet

I uses dual wielding because I think it sounds cool (without any logical reasons) and tend to focus my stats on STR and AGI.

My routine is to either go to the Arena or Grindfest then fight while alternating between Cure, Protection and Iris Strike. I rely on Heroic Health Pots for most of the time and would use Spirit Stance after I uses all my HP Pots. After all options are exhausted, I would Flee.

I also recently donated (the first time since registering) and gained an large amount of credits (1M which is large from my perspective of usually having only about 20k tops for many years). I hope to spend some on some equipments to help speed up my leveling.

Could you give me some guidance on how to continue playing?
Should I buy the Exquisite/Magnificent Equips with Ethereal/Shade prefixes?

I would like to do the Arena/Item World/Grindfest most of the time and possibly increase my difficulty modifier ><.

Thank you for your guidance.

Ps. Should I change the embedded image to attachment since the image is somewhat large in width?

High-grade materials like Hi-grade wood and such are obtained only as monster gifts. For materials with all-hi-grade materials, equips with the initial PXP of 350 or more requires hi-grade materials from the get-go.

That aside, is it possible to calculate the initial PXP for a levelled item?

You need to train Adept Learner to at least 200, preferably max. Also, if you wanna stay with DW for good, start looking for Shade Armaments, preferably with Shadowdancer suffix. And an ethereal weapon, axe+rapier is the most popular style.

also totally unrelated but mages totally kicks ass starting at Level 310 and above.
