QUOTE(TygerTyger @ Apr 26 2015, 20:49)  Yeah, me too I usually binge a game then stop playing for a while the binge again.

How surprising. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) We all know you have the equipments. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) Proficiency doesn't matter.

At your level I wouldn't worry about forging. You aren't likely to have any gear worth upgrading yet and the credits you get from selling will be more useful right now. This post has been edited by Dammon: Apr 26 2015, 18:57

Monsters can accumulate 3 gifts (+ doubled gifts), that's it. So no, you won't be able to get hundreds of gifts when you come back if you leave for months.

QUOTE(nobody_xxx @ Apr 24 2015, 21:50)  some math expert said that HTTP spend around 300~400m to max kodou yuki in the past (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ( when crystal pack still around 100k ) Kinda forget since it been long time (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) CMIIW (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) Not true. He maxed it on a fluke. After a certain patch, Tenboro adjusted the formulas for crystal cost but lowered them far too much. You would have to find the right patch thread and dig through it, but it was still something like 1M crystals to max each stat. And he got them from grinding, not paying. It only stayed this way for a number of hours, but HTTP had the amount stockpiled to max his monster. Shortly after, the formula was adjusted to what it is now (it was even higher originally.) I still believe it was done intentionally to piss off Frith/TheTornPrince (the owner of Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen 501st, who has been struggling to max characters named Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen since the Monster Lab was created. The short story is he was a bit unstable and people enjoyed screwing with him, including Tenboro. 501st is actually his second attempt, and I still own the original (he had a break down and had tenboro give away all of his monsters.)

Swift isnt very bad. With full heavy set i still have 7.4% attack speed, 5.5% evade. With shards its 10.2% attack speed with 16.3% evade. So, i dont know rly about how strong this effect in action speed, but with direct full effect its something like 11 attacks in 10 range.

Attack Speed is for Defense and Mana Saving. It makes the gameplay more smooth and easy. I prefer it because it drastically reduces the number of Cure I have to use. For a DW (With Light Armor), the best weapon potency combo is: Swift Strike lv.10 + Fatality Lv.8 (or vice versa) QUOTE(hitokiri84 @ Apr 26 2015, 23:57)  Not true.

Err...Swift Strike is not good for Heavy Armor. Since it lets you attack faster and kill monsters before they can hit you, 1H actually looses the chance to "Counter" if used with Swift Strike.

Faster clear time versus more safety. It's mostly different for each individual case: higher leveled and well geared players can consider dropping swift strike and upping the burding, but otherwise SS and low burden aren't horrible especially on higher difficulties.

cool your engines. overpower is obviously not good for 1H because overwhelming strikes already does that, and much better swift isn't good for 1H as well, but mostly because all attack speed bonuses (IW included) are multiplicative & they're eaten away by BUR - that is, unless you have less than 40 BUR (which cannot be earned even with all 0% BUR mithril armors), thus it's room wasted for other potencies. at that point i'd prefer overpower because overwhelming strikes isn't always on. this will spare only butcher and fatality (for 1H), and still i think fatality should be preferred because it can't be forged as for light users, well - i guess swift really is useful. do someone own a lv10 swift strike DW build to check the gain in attack speed? judging from my build and light spped lv1 ability it seems less or more additive gain, but waiting confirmations This post has been edited by Scremaz: Apr 27 2015, 00:22

So, though shards would get a bit costly over time, maybe someone playing deep GF would like it.

at that point you'll have other problems: a certain degree of BUR is required to lower your evade (which may reduce the number of counter-stuns), and feathering your armors will remove BUT afaik, making you not-so-different than 1H+shade, only with more firepower

I actually enjoyed swift strike on rapier for when I go IW against 9-10 mobs, killing without much cure is more preferable than easier OC charge. I even need shadow veil sometimes. Just hit numpad and not anything else!
At worst, OC stays the same. If I need OC to be filled, just turn off the spirit stance after only 3-4 mobs left on the round.

I suppose it might be if you want to grind experience after you've completed all of your arenas for the day. I wouldn't recommend doing IW just for the sake of unlocking potencies on your equipment, however.

QUOTE(Raye_Terse @ Apr 27 2015, 01:28)  Is IW worth doing at my level? The problem is the time and shards required. If you're aiming for specific potencies, which you probably should, such as "at least Jug 2", you might expect to spend 70k on shards, more if you're unlucky. The value of the time + stamina + repair costs is pretty high as well, 200k+. So, to IW, the equipment piece should be at least somewhat worthwhile, hopefully 500k+, for IW to be worth doing on it. Also, you need to be able to play comfortably on IWBTH, otherwise it will take ages, and you'd be better off getting someone else to IW it for you. This usually restricts IW to be an efficient choice only for level ~250+ players.
