Finally back after a long time gone. What's the meta like these days? Is there a superior weapon and armor setup? Is magic still crazy strong but nigh unusable except for the richest players?

QUOTE(killergeist7 @ Mar 29 2015, 20:35)  If I were you I'd look for smax+ EDB (phase) with 3 PAB. I'm doubtful about prof cotton being that worthwhile before you start fighting very high PL monsters - it depends on how frequent resists are. One or two prof cotton is all right, but you still probably want at least 3 phase (so no more than 2 cotton). At least your shoes have 3 PAB and have close to smax edb, but its PAB stats are pretty bad. High EDB, decent 3 PAB, and decent evade are what makes for a good Phase piece. If you can, look for a Fiery staff as well - more EDB means more damage. QUOTE(TheRapture @ Mar 29 2015, 20:44)  Finally back after a long time gone. What's the meta like these days?

You don't need to be that rich - a couple days' income is probably enough to buy gear to breeze through Nintendo (or Hell) as mage, but you do need good gear to handle IWBTH or PF. (whereas any 1h player above level 300 could handle any arena on PF with bazaar trash-level gear).

Well, now that's a bit of a stretch... You don't need particularly good gear to go 1H, but not to the point that you can equip just about anything you happen to find lying around. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Yeah, but scavenging bazaar for some decent stuff requirs some luck thou (Yes all my gear is bazaar scavenged, buying is ultimatively too expensive and I prefer not to use Free Shared Shop). Also I was under the assumption Magic Damage is better than Elemental suffix on a staff...? Sidenote: You aren't me <_< This post has been edited by killergeist7: Mar 29 2015, 23:20

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) That's what I did. I started 1h around level 290 and just used what I found from the bazaar until I felt like sticking with it, and gradually got more decent gear to fill out slots from 310-340 or so. Actually, I'm still using one of those bazaar pieces, but I'm too lazy to change. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) It wasn't necessarily time-efficient before I had gear worth buying, but I was still happy enough because I could play on PF everywhere. This is unlike mage, where you absolutely need pretty high damage so you can kill high difficulty monsters, before their MP/SP fills and they kill you. If you want to be able to do something else while playing (eg watch anime) then you're right, decent gear is necessary to play mindlessly.

Also I was under the assumption Magic Damage is better than Elemental suffix on a staff...? Buy from other players. Smax phase is not very valuable, so you should be able to get it very cheaply (even at your level), especially since you're using fire. You can try the bazaar, but it takes time/luck to find anything worth using. Yeah, magic damage is quite important, but it's ok to give up a couple points in magic damage if you gain a ton of EDB in exchange - and you only have to give up magic damage if the staff has a worse MDB roll, which shouldn't be too hard to surpass. (assuming not replacing the Destruction suffix - only replacing the currently nonexistent prefix) It shouldn't cost you more than a single clear bonus to get a decent upgrade.

Sidenote: You aren't me (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I think they mean elemental prefix and destruction suffix. Though elemental prefix and suffix can be alright as well.

Yeah I understand. I guess I will get more serious and start using shops and start trading and what not. QUOTE(EsotericSatire @ Mar 29 2015, 22:59)  I think they mean elemental prefix and destruction suffix. Though elemental prefix and suffix can be alright as well.
Ah yes, thanks. One question thought, why do people accept hath@x where x is overpriced compared to the hath exchange? This post has been edited by killergeist7: Mar 30 2015, 00:19

The majority of HV players are lazy bastards. As shown by your own observation, you only need a single look to confirm it. LOL. (seriously, do them a favor by reminding. good relationship with other player can go a long way in this game).

<<Accidental double post.>> BTW, Any additional response to my question? QUOTE(clarkiest @ Mar 27 2015, 03:37)  Is there any guide about how many low, mid, and high grade material needed for upgrading equipment of magnificent or legendary quality? I wish to know, say, for the 10th forge of a stat, how many high-grade and what kind of catalyst needed for my 355 pxp equipment.

Hello,
I was wondering about AP in invested weapon types, I've been playing too many RPG's so I quite naturally assumed that 1-handed and 2-handed investment worked a bit differently than it appears to do here. I figured that when I am using dual-wielding, which is 2x 1 handed weapons - then I need to spend ability points in 1 handed and dual-wielding? It occurs to me now that this may be somewhat of a misunderstanding..

If you want to use Dual-wielding, then the only weapon abilities you need to take are those belonging to Dual-wielding. The only fighting style that combines two fighting styles is Ninten Ichiryu. Because it doesn't have its own proficiency stat, it uses both Dual-wielding and Two-handed proficiencies instead. Ninten Ichiryu has its own ability category, however.

Thank you, I was too used to playing other games where 1 handed is a skill, not a style. *facepalm* This means I have spent 2 mastery slot which could come to better use if spent in supportive, ah well - it will even itself out soon enough i suppose.

Yes. Actually, Tenboro recently added a feature to the donation page that will enable you to send a user your bitcoin address from the system. That will let people know for sure that it is your official e-hentai wallet.
