QUOTE(RibbonsCan @ Oct 17 2014, 09:15)  I've got two meh-tier rapiers picked up for dirt-cheap, and I'm planning to IWmax one of them (yes, I'm aware I probably shouldn't, shame on me). Which one should I choose? http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=d6f0a2a0e5http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=4e5a3fcd79It all depends on your needs. The dark one for SG; The cold one + flame spike shield for normal play. I'd choose the dark one if I were you, coz you probably won't use either of the rapiers when you reach higher level, and a Lv.10 Exq demonic slaughter rapier can sell at a higher price than an arctic counterpart.

QUOTE(tetron @ Oct 16 2014, 19:51)  Thanks. I'll try it out. Hmm. So you're saying that Iron 32+ is faster than Iron 28? Also, does Iron 32+ have the option to install userscripts directly?
Well.. I am using v37. Comparing to v28 it was 1.33 t/s difference.. Ofcourse you can install userscripts direcly, it is chrome afterall. It is actually advised to do so. As i mentioned tempermonkey/greasemonkey slow you down. Question:1. As 1H.. Why people treat Agility = Wisdom?I do not understand that. For me agility seems pretty useless stat. It only gives 0.5 physical mitigation and evade which is from start reduced by heavy gear. On the other hand wisdom gives 0.5 magical mitigation and mana, mana regeneration. I also do not undestand this: Every point above the player's level increases attack speed by (10%/level) The attack speed increases from AGI is capped at 10%. Does it mean that if i have 304 lvl.. at 305 agility i get full bonus 10% or how does it work.. Does it even count agility from items? Anyway it still suck for heavy I treat stats this way: endurance = strenght = dexterity > wisdom > agility > intelligence 339 = 339 = 338 > 327 > 315 > 280 Is it good? 2. How do you do A Dance with Dragons?- I just did it on hell. And it was really worrysome. That is.. potions. Till around round 80 i did not use any potion, i run out of spirit pretty fast but since killing still wasn't that slow i continued without spirit and with focus. Then i started using potions. At 150 i was out of spirit potions. (i had 5) Perhaps it is better to do it with dual? But then spirit consumption will still be huge. Maybe i should not use spirit shield..

Yes, WIS > AGI for 1H Heavy in general. But I just equally distribute all stats 1:1:1:1:1:1 since I'm too lazy and could switch into mage setting whenever I want without changing stats. Especially for high level melee, a careful stat distribution is almost meaningless, though.

(AGI - level) / level * 0.1 is attack speed bonus from AGI without burden, capped 10%. For example if you have 500 AGI at 350 level with 0 burden you will get (500 - 350) / 350 * 0.1 = 4.3% attack speed bonus. QUOTE I treat stats this way: endurance = strenght = dexterity > wisdom > agility > intelligence 339 = 339 = 338 > 327 > 315 > 280
Is it good?
Not bad. Again, I think 1:1:1:1:1:1 is also not bad actually for high level users in this game. INT for melee and STR for mage can be an exception, though. QUOTE 2.

1. Level up to 350+ at least to easily beat it as a melee. As 1H, my friend cleared DwD PFUDOR for the first time at around 340-mid level without using Focus. 2. If you're 1H get best shield and forge its block 20~25 times. 3. Get best 5 power slaughter armors you can get. 4. Use holy/dark rapier (or/with) holy/dark infusion. 5. Get OFC and use it after SG shows up. 6. Use Spirit Theft which helps you balancing MP and SP. This post has been edited by Cats Lover: Oct 17 2014, 08:53

Just test iron v37 for a while, the speed is more or less the same as v27. I use portable version btw. I will try how well can it be in long run. If the speed are same, I think I will switch to the v37. P.S. so far the slowest script is the anti-virus/anti-spy-ware script. If I turn them off, other scripts do not make much different (excluding HVstat full version). Edit: iron v37, 80 round arena @ PF  iron v27 QUOTE(Colman @ Sep 29 2014, 21:24)  Thank you. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) 60  65  70  75  80  90  ~1.5 turn per second. Both using the same script. Conclusion, the speed is similar in short run. Let's see how will it be when the cache filled up. This post has been edited by Colman: Oct 17 2014, 09:15

QUOTE(holy_demon @ Oct 16 2014, 22:41)  no, people won't buy, cos they have no need for them (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) Until they do. It always happens, because tenboro has an incessant need to "balance" everything. No one used to use 1H, add Force shields and now it's the latest fad. LG was completely dead for several years, and now it's not. If you go far enough back, there was even a time when everyone used heavy and no one used mage. So basically, you shouldn't be surprised if leather gets a major buff in the near future.

That's long-term investment. We're talking about short-term profit And really, unless you're making like 300% profit on that purchase. It's not worth the waiting, the high risk, and the opportunity cost of wasting credits on stuffs you don't need. Also, 1H and mage are still good, yet HGM,HGC,HGW price are all falling. I doubt even buffing light would give HGL any significant price boost QUOTE(djackallstar @ Oct 17 2014, 17:47)  Player A gets an HGL and sells it at 1500.

(unless player B does not exist (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)) marginal profit of B is 50/1550=3.2% way too small to make sense, not to mention HGL has very low liquidity due to low demand.

You know 35k for a DMM is very cheap, everyone interested knows that, too, so why don't you check the thread at the right time? "From time to time" huh?

That's your words, not mine. I didn't make any assumption.
