QUOTE(jacquelope @ Aug 24 2015, 09:17)  Check my Giveaway thread, I've got some cloth you can request. QUOTE(villaloy @ Aug 24 2015, 11:10)  Check your mail.
Hey, thanks. I really appreciate that. QUOTE(Scremaz @ Aug 24 2015, 10:54)  salvage crappy cloth armor drop for scrap cloths, or crappy staffs/shields for wood. if you salvage something < superior quality, you'll earn only scraps. superiors, scraps + LG material. exq, scraps + MG material. mag/leg, scraps + HG material.
rare tiers (phase or force shields) even energy cells
I know, but it's a pain to try and drop specific equipment while using stuff that's about to break any second. Not to mention I need like 40 and I usually only get 2 from a cloth/staff, and that's if I'm lucky enough to drop those. This post has been edited by werty101: Aug 24 2015, 18:14

I've got some spare scrap cloth - check your MM. Also don't forget to check my giveaways thread. In the future if you want really good prices on that, check out Superlatanium's store, he's got relatively steep discounts on low quality cloth. Also check out ST-Ru's store for good discounts on scrap cloth. This post has been edited by jacquelope: Aug 24 2015, 18:21

QUOTE(rfEH @ Aug 24 2015, 11:44)  What spike shield to get for mages? Is spike shield really that important? No, the effect is quite minimal regardless. If someone chose one at random they probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. For mages, I'd recommend getting the spike shield element that reduces resistance to your primary element, if possible. QUOTE(werty101 @ Aug 24 2015, 13:44)  I'm not gonna start a new thread just for this, but does anyone have some spare scrap cloth and wood? All of my equipment is broken and I have nothing to fix it with. Buy it from the item shop. Or, buy it from other players. Or, salvage stuff instead of selling to bazaar. QUOTE(jacquelope @ Aug 24 2015, 16:09)  If you use a Flower Vase and Bubblegum and combine that with Heartseker and Spirit Stance, does all of that stack? I'm about to become eligible to do FSM and I want to make sure he gets really, really, really dead - and not me instead. Yeah, it stacks, but it's not needed - it's worth a lot and lasts only a tiny bit of time. Just use Silence if you're that worried.

3k to cover 100 rounds. i guess it's a small price to pay to be sure FSM is dead (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Silence fizzled. The bastard. I wound up clearing RoB FSM with bubblegum only. Might have done it without bubblegum but I spent (whatever bubblegum is worth) to score 150,000 credits soooo $$$PROFITTTT$$$ (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Oh and I cleared Arena Trio and Tree on normal. No pots. I've gotten back to those golden days again!!!

For your subsequent clear, since you probably don't want to spend bubble gums again, you might simply survive a few turns until silence comes off cooldown again.
Besides, Spark is available (and now spirit shield too) and mana/spirit draughts are cheap.
Now that you are over L200 and have learnt to leave all the draughts running constantly, what's your 1h / heavy proficiency, and are you still running out of mana?

1H=111 Heavy=142 As of now? I'm not running out of mana on Normal mode anymore (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) I found around level 198 (a day ago or so?) that I could subsist on Regen and Protection alone up to Hard difficulty, as long as mana gems come in now and then. Heartseeker only needs to come in on the final level because of lots of one-shotting. I have to use pots/draughts in Hell mode though; Nightmare is dicey. Soon as I hit 200, I had one point invested in Stronger Spirit. Haven't had to use it yet. I expect all of these conditions to fluctuate, though. And yeah, bubblegum was worth it for 150,000C but now I'm saving them up for PFUDOR DWD.

What would be a fair starting offer for a Mag/Leg Rapier of the Illithid/Banshee? I get why they're deprecated, but I'd like to see if they even marginally cut my potion usage on low difficulty schoolgirl arenas.

QUOTE(tetron @ Aug 24 2015, 15:55)  Then how many MP pots do you usually need to use in just the Arena (Including the SG ones)? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) With 59.5% mana cost modifier, I need around ~120 MP pots to clear the full Arena in PFUDOR (Including the SG ones). Today, I used 80 pots + opportunistic tapping. 68 pots dropped, so nett deficit of 12. QUOTE(jacquelope @ Aug 25 2015, 09:30)  1H=111 Heavy=142 As of now?

And yeah, bubblegum was worth it for 150,000C but now I'm saving them up for PFUDOR DWD. You're expected to use draughts all the time. Once you can play and survive comfortably at reasonably high difficulty, I think draughts should be dropping faster than you can consume them. With HA proficiency almost maxed, and 1H going over 100 (so that you can have 2 counters/turn), you should have become tougher. Once 1H goes over 200 for 3 counters, you'll be even tougher still.

I get why they're deprecated, but I'd like to see if they even marginally cut my potion usage on low difficulty schoolgirl arenas. Not much at all. They were terrible before 0.82, and now they're even worse because of unlimited restoration. Just looking at a random one at my level... "Siphon Spirit: 25.5% chance - 1.7 points". That's less than 1/6th of what a draught restores in a single turn. And not only that, but it'll only happen a small fraction of the time; the effect is completely irrelevant, especially since there are many suffixes out there that are at least somewhat useful. Same thing for MP drain. Drain amount might be double SP drain, but double almost nothing at all is still almost nothing at all (and MP pool is bigger anyway). I said a long time ago in the suggestion thread that the drain amounts need to have some decent level scaling, or the suffixes will mean that any equip that has them will automatically be trash. Unfortunately, nothing's changed. Only real reason to value them is in the hope that something will make them useful again in a future patch, but that's it. Other than that, a seller should be happy to get anything more than salvage value for it.

I don't think anyone's paying 60k for them currently? Did you see any recent offer?

Thanks so much Superlatanium for your advice. Sorry for late reply, I was asleep. But yeah I don't really feel much difference between them in melee but I just thought maybe maging is more fragile and it may help but since it doesn't. Also thanks for reminding me about spike shield affecting mobs elemental resistance this should be useful when I change to maging. QUOTE(karyl123 @ Aug 25 2015, 06:44)  gold star now, yay.
