Both modes give only 25% of the credits you would earn in arena. Grindfest has crystals, but if you don't have crystal perks, you're probably better off with peerless IW, which has a slightly higher exp multiplier and stronger monsters from the start.

well , IW have shorter rounds compare to GF (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) plus cryst drop nerf since this 0.83 patch release make me lose motivation to grinding in GF (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) with my current ping , clearing page 2 arenas is good enough now (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

So i desperately need credit. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Thanks all for the input. I guess i'l go try farming in IW.[Edit] The monsters in the IW start hurting alot faster than those from GrindFest. [Wiki] Base Difficulty IW starts @ 100% +2%/round, GrindFest starts @ 50% +0.4%/round Plus i seem to be getting more stuff from GrindFest, guess i would be killing stuff in GrindFest then.

Cry3 still looks not so bad. At least its ~250 hellfests for payback. But cry4-5 isnt so nice, because 3750 hath is already ~550 and cry5 is ~1150. Its better to do pffest this way for higher amount, but anyway not so easy. And crystals isnt main profit anymore. Now its artifacts and amnesia with gear on pf.
And if you wanna do iw, than maybe iw-service with cheap prices?

You get no more equipment drops. That's that.

QUOTE(nobody_xxx @ Nov 17 2015, 18:12)  stupid question here (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) Postage Paid perk , if I unlock it than I will not pay 1000 credits per MM CoD anymore , right (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) yeah , I still not unlock this perk (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) I suggest getting it, it's pretty cheap and it makes trading much easier. Really nice when you send stuff with COD. I was thinking for a good while before getting it too, because the payback time would be 60-70 10k+ COD messages, but after getting it it's totally worth it because of the convenience.

But maybe 10 hath for something useful is worthwhile. After that, maybe 50 hath for an IA could help. Then perhaps 500 hath for EE sounds attractive, and 2000 hath for +10% damage doesn't sound unreasonable. And by then you've been suckered into Tenboro's trap.

you're speaking about different things. for a shopkeeper Postage Paid is almost mandatory, and even for someone who plays and sells a lot at WTB: hath is worth something like, 6300C? and Postage Paid costs 10 hath, so 63000C. maximum COD fee you have to pay is 1000C, so it would require 63 CODs to repay itself (not even counting MM fee). now, who didn't sell at least 63 things at WTB past a certain level? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) on the contrary, you cannot say that Repair Bear 4 and Asshatter aren't basically useless (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

You are right in that (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) I'm already thinking that IA4 might be useful for other playing styles than 1H so I could IA Shadow Veil. To be honest though, Postage Paid will pay itself back in the long run if you use COD when trading. Of course you can just send the items, pay the 10c and wait for the other end to send the credits, but COD is easier. I guess most hath perks will pay themselves back at some point, but as discussed before, the payback time can be too long and the convenience too little to justify getting the perk.

and safer in case you don't know the person you're dealing with. or simply quicke in the other cases. consider those people that have a WTB permanently open: they surely do the math or calculated prices such as they can have a glimpse of the amount simply by looking at it, but should they start from the beginning with the idea of recieving the items and then pay for them it will be a real hell (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
