[X] My Assistant

I'm stuck at level 36, and out of money for repairs.
All my equipment is broken. I feel stuck.

Should I go unarmed or use the broken equipment?

Are your abilities up to date? Can you survive your Arena fights at Normal? The clear bonuses are stupid low but the improved credit drop should be worth your time.

just wondering, how many times were you defeated? afaik, until v0.81 low-level players weren't affected by the loss of condition and the only way it can happen is to lose many times with this new patch.
also, while it's true that at high levels going +10 or +20 levels with a level-bound weapon isn't worth worrying, at your level losing 20 chances of scaling is quite relelvant, so i suggest you to look into free shops/even bazaar every now and then for a replacement.

Eh... low level users ( < 100 level) don't need to repair, aren't they?

I got it, maybe he is defeated on battle... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

On the plus side, I got my first Mag drop and it's my currently favoured mainhand...

On the minus side, it's a no-prefix of the Illithid
Magnificent Club of the Illithid

and although its main damage is +48 and has better chance of longer stun as well as way better PAB, it lacks secondary damage from strike.
On the plus side, it still beats my previous equip in everything but being non-Ethereal and lacking a Strike:
Superior Ethereal Club of Slaughter

Complete and total Bazaar fodder? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Oh and experts, please?

good question. he surely miss at least light HP/MP or either doesn't have full leather. doing a check of ability tree wouldn't be a bad idea. some important goals are reported here, btw

Eh... low level users ( < 100 level) don't need credits to repair, aren't they?

since this patch losing a battle will make you lose durability. i guess it should be reported to tenboro to adjust this to low-levels as well

Oh and experts, please?

Magnificent Club of the Illithid -> Generally salvage to get high grade metal, but use it if you want to at your level.
Superior Ethereal Club of Slaughter -> Generally bazzar fodder, but use it if you want to at your level.

I also think that it should be patched that low level users don't lose any durability on defeat. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

First distribute your stats equally balanced. Wisdom is always required even for melee.
Like 55~60, 55~60, 55~60, 55~60, 30~40, 50~55. This is just an example, though.

O wow!! I can see a clear differents now, now I don't see 300hp gone. Thanks for the tip.

Oh and experts, please?

they are both decent for self-use. i'd suggest you to forge the ADB out of the ethereal one to make up for level scaling, but that 2-turns stun is a bit crappy...

yup. would you be so kind to report it, please? everytime i open a changelog thread i end up wondering why i still insist to play this game rather than watching porn (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Yes my abilities are up to date.

I can usually survive on normal, but I have died a lot while learning how to play. I can't usually go past 20 rounds in a Grindfest, is that normal?

I got a lot of heavy armor and cloth from Arena's, and I'm trying to focus on a Light Armor build (via wiki advice) so I've been salvaging. I've already repaired once but here I am again.


I really feel like I'm stuck.


EDIT: WOW!! Thank you for being kind and sending me things!! what a helpful community!

I was about to quit the game but now I'm so excited.

It's years since I last played, let alone was around your level, but what I remember from the <50 times was:

- lots of short visits to GF (mostly due to lack of supportive spells but also lack of gear), flee when things start looking bad
- avoid getting killed as much as you can, it will eat up your gear like nothing else
- sell all the crystals and monster food (every credit counted, it's not like one won't find a dozen times more when approaching the level where Monster Lab becomes worth a though--and someone on WTB is likely to want Cuisine and Edibles at least, at a far nicer price than the Bazaar will give)
- equip whatever has better stats (I had mixed type armour for a long time, since better gear at Bazaar was unaffordable, and if it was affordable, it was a downgrade)

Ah I see, Ok.

I think the problem is I wasn't fleeing enough. I'll try that more.

I'll start selling on WTB.

Another quick question if you don't mind me asking,
Is there a preferred type of Spike Shield ability?

I was using Fire, then moved to Shock. JW what you guys thought.

eh, why wasting time doing gridnfest in your level? if you're looking for experience doing a few minutes of one round random encounters in higher dificculty is more profitable than some 10 minutes of 20 round of grindfest. and do some other "constructive activity" while waiting for the next RE

if you're looking for drops, grindfest is an awfull place for looking for drops other than crystal.

about spike shield, you might wants to look what each status effect from each spike do and then decide it yourself (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

i did some training in luck of the draw to increase my rare drop chance but i dont see anything different in my drops druring battle. what exactly is a rare drop and is there a specific battle type for them to drop?

patch 0.82 changed how it works (now it affects normal vs rare tier, e.g. cloth vs phase)

And the patch release thread is full of players complaining that LotD is now basically useless.

I'm not sure how to exactly trigger random encounters.. Where should I go?

random encounter come every 30 minutes in the home page

See any related gallery page, a RE will appear every 30 minutes when you refresh. The first time you visit a gallery page that day will be the Dawn of the New Day event, REs will trigger after that.

If you are in battle at the moment, clicking on the "Encountered a monster!" will only take you to your current battle.
You can change difficulty in a separate HV tab prior to clicking the RE link. I do my RE at Hell or Nintendo in between of Normal Arena.

I was using Fire, then moved to Shock. JW what you guys thought.

usually the one that makes pair with the elemental strike of your weapon - which means: you have a tempestuous weapon? then use cold spike (which will reduce wind mitigation, should it connect) to exploit that specific weakness. but this effect isn't really high if you aren't maging - thus, not relying on explosions

someone may want to use fire to boost fire mitigation, since dragonkins are quite dangerous

another thought is that 1H may want to rely purely on damage reduction (thus, fire) while light/shade users may want to rely on less number of hits incoming by either reducing the number of turns of mobs (thus, cold) or increasing their miss chance (thus, wind)

Fancy indeed. So I guess all my old gear is worthless now?

it's not assured. btw, did you note you have a PM pending since this noon? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
