QUOTE(EsotericSatire @ Jun 12 2015, 19:34)  Anyone else having issues with IW?
40 runs and I have only gotten a Jug potency once! 1 in 80 doesn't seem to be the right probability.
Its common. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It is too easy to burn 100+ shards to get a single lv5 potency. And still fail to get lv3+ at the end.

Get someone else to do it so they take on the burden of risk instead of you (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It's better for both, really, since IWer probably knows the best way of doing it, and risk averages out for him if a lot of IW is done - and the other guy doesn't have to dread having to spend hundreds of shards but still getting nowhere.

QUOTE(nec1986 @ Jun 12 2015, 18:07)  I think this one. It was big difference before, but now it can be even higher. Im playing only pf non sg arenas and already got ~7 Lgrades.
Ok, I switched from Hell to IWBTH, and have already picked up a (crappy) Leg and a Mag. So I guess that Hell has zero or very very low probability of dropping Mag/Leg. Does Grindfest @ IWBTH/PFUDOR drop good equipment? Or is it still REs with best drops, followed by Arenas, and GF + IW are crap?

As we've all experienced, arena clear bonuses are almost always crap. SG arenas probably aren't worth the time required for slightly increased chance of a worthwhile clear bonus. RE is definitely the best place for good drops by far, followed by ordinary grinding on high difficulty (I'm not sure if there's any notable drop quality difference between arena/GF/IW on the same difficulty), and then there's quick clearing of lower difficult with near 0 chance of anything worthwhile ever dropping. RE for best drops. Arenas for credits. High difficulty (any) for a non-remote chance of decent drops. Low difficulty for artifacts and GF crystals. At least that's what I've been assuming.

This is the best option in this patch so far...

Legendary looks lower, and slightly for magnificent too. Ive finished 2 pffests and got as i remember 4 M gears. Its almost same as 4 arena days if count mobs amount. But it looks a bit better than old fest. So i d say we got small increase in fest (in 1.5x time?) and huge in arena (in 2-3x times?). This post has been edited by nec1986: Jun 12 2015, 15:43

REs, are the best according to significant anecdotal data. According to data released by 10bro, Grindfest is the same as pre-patch in terms of Legendaries (better in terms of mags). Arena is about 220% higher leg rate, however there are less monsters so it is roughly the same as grindfest, but you get credits instead of crystals. Arena clear bonuses are broken atm, meaning that SG arenas which were previously done for the bonus shouldn't be done (or done on normal for trophies) IW is the same as gf, except you get potency instead of crystals.

Does anyone know the exact date our old potions will go poof? I've already sold most of them but I still have a few left.

If the past is any representation, they will randomly disappear when 10bro can be bothered. It is best to sell enough such that it isn't a big deal to lose the rest. This post has been edited by m118w11: Jun 12 2015, 18:19

QUOTE(nec1986 @ Jun 12 2015, 21:49)  Why only 1lvl? Its faster to clear iwbth for double. Depends how fast you can clear and how much income/time you can get from other battle types. High prof mage can clear lower difficulty super quickly, and I'd prefer to do that if it means likely not having to waste 8k credits on an extra amnesia.

So its taken way more than 100 shards to get jug once? The RNG is op

If it makes you feel better (or worse), I just got 5/5 Juggernaut/Capacitor on a piece without using a single shard. and I had a Legendary Ethereal Rapier of Slaughter drop while doing it. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) I'd call that a pretty nice day. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

There was recently a question in the WTB/WTS guidelines: QUOTE(-anon- @ Apr 27 2015, 04:17)  Are you allowed to trade real life money for items such as gear, hath or credits?
Well, I am planning to auction for BTC valued in USD to get a gold star. Since this a hard cash auction prices are going to start very low, but still the qustion remains: is this legit? I mean it is like a donation collection for HV, since all BTC will be transferred to a wallet here at HV and be donated.

There's no problem, I guess... Currently you can: Auction for credits/hath then use the credits/hath to buy donations... in your case, you're just skipping one step. If it's worth do that way is another question though... since you'll be limiting your auction for a particular audience, those who want to spend real money here...

How does one know when an item is good enough to spend a lot of time and resources to fully forge/IW/Soulfuse it? I guess I'm mostly referring to weapons.
