err , your ping should bring you at least 3t/s since it's in same range ping with mantra64 ~ he have around 3,2t/s (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

[attachembed=76312]

That's why this statement totally pissed me off, even though it wasn't for me.

well , same ping with me since we are live in same area ~ SE asia (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)
sometime my ping is faster but not that much (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

but I can clear PFU T&T alot faster than you , izpe (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I can only have around 2.6 t/s at max (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Usually takes 35m on pfudor Trio since my adb is only 5000ish.
With my 1h mage set it's around 20 - 25m so I would say it's a pretty nice upgrade, so a great mage set with staff should be able to do it <20m I think. Having to spam draught and potion is kind of disheartening though Q xQ
And I didn't have much time to play recently Q.Q

Even if i pay full attention into clearing it, always takes me 25~30min+ (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
That's why i'm switching over to mage, better for me in the long run.

You should get 2.3~2.5 t/s for that ping, and at worst 2.0 t/s. Something is very wrong to get only 1.5 t/s

err , just how much upgrade for playing HV from i3 to i5 ?

Im not sure, but i think i can finish it in ~6 minutes without much problem.

Zero?

It's just the computer.

I just did a test myself. On my main computer I can get ~3.8 t/s by holding down numpad key. On my crappy computer (same connection, no bandwidth problems, nothing else taking up computer resources) I got 170 turns in 3 minutes by holding down numpad key. Less than 1 t/s. (This is a computer than can handle some low-end 3d games)

The problem is just that HV is not designed for quick browser rendering time. Look at the html, it's huge and messy. Reloader will help some, but probably not enough.

so , I cannot make my speed faster with hardware upgrade (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I think its zero too. If anything, overclock your cpu to 4ghz+ may help, because it will have better score on all online js benchmark.

err , I think overclock my laptop isn't a good thing to do , void (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

i've moved full mozilla to ramdisk and have extra t/s,try it guys.

Dont think laptop can oc at all (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
To give you some example I have a i7-920 at 3.4ghz and i7 3770k at 4.4ghz, I dont think they have any real difference in clear time.

Hi guys, I'm new to the game and had a few questions.

First, I was wondering when you want to soulfuse an item. Are there any items in particular that should be soulfused? Is there a major disadvantage to soulfusing low level items instead?

Next, what is the best way to get lower-level items? The bazaar seems to offer a pretty limited supply of options and arena is spotty at best. Should I increase difficulty past nightmare (maybe to hell) to increase consistency in drops?

Is it worth it to sell items to the bazaar or are you better off salvaging items? Right now I'm salvaging items I can use to repair my current equipment and selling others to the bazaar.

Last, how should I grind levels. I was running niten ichi ryu at the start so right now I'm doing item world on a crude item to get 2H proficiency up a bit. Is this any better/worse than just doing grindfest? Do you have any tips on how to last more rounds in grindfest?

Thanks!

I would post screenshot of stats due to first post URL rule :/. I will try to edit it in.

edit: hopefully this works...

I have already stressed you good people about how my laptop broke, so let's leave it be.
Love, peace, happiness and male kids... or female... or both... Yeah, both will do... Ahem.

So... i guess mage build at this point... Will only need to gather 1000 millions to make the build... ... ...
Ok... that's... not happening.
I guess only Res will do till April that i'll manage to have the laptop fixed.

Sig... Let's go to a concert and forget our worries.

Wait until at least level 200 to soulfuse - before then, whatever you have certainly won't be worth enough to use difficult-to-obtain rare fragments on.

For drops, the easiest method is probably to buy crappy unassigned Averages from the bazaar and switch them out every 20 levels or so (or whenever you find something better). No matter the equip quality, it'll turn to trash very quickly, so there's no sense in looking for decent quality gear or forging.

Selling everything will give you higher net income overall, but if you need to repair (which you shouldn't, at your level), then go ahead and salvage Average and lower gear. Sell everything else to bazaar.

2h is probably significantly easier than Niten before high level, otherwise your proficiency won't rise as you level up. Proficiency contributes a whole lot to important stats like ADB, so if you have to switch sets every few levels and do nothing but try to get proficiency up every so often, that's boring and isn't worth it if you could accomplish the same thing with plain 2h style.

Grindfest is for leveling up only, not for profit (at least until level 350+), so keep that in mind. You probably won't be able to get far at your current level - no more than a few rounds at most, at which point the monster count will probably overwhelm you. But that's fine, if you want XP, just play until you have to flee, and repeat. (Though, crude IW might be better for that - monsters do much less damage)

Soulfusing is something you do in order to get an equipment piece follow your level.
At the point where you are playing it's hard to get an equipment piece that will be worth to keep for a lifetime. Anyway that is something that only you and your Random encounters can tell, since as long as you can do many random encounters you will be able to gather fragments easily. Still it's best to keep them and just chance your equipment pieces right now, since you are bound to find better ones going forth to the game. Till level 200 i was under the impression that soulfusing was totally free and wasted many fragments. Now i'm desperately gathering them like the most important treasure. After all they let you equip staff that is up to 100 levels above you and help your ITEM WORLD runs a lot.

What do you mean lower level items? Potions and consumables? There are some stores at the wts part of the forum that give staff for free to new players.

About salvaging or selling, it's up to you. Everyone has their own way to do this. Some check the cost of the equipment piece and if it's not high enough they salvage it for example.
In my opinion you might as well sell anything that you don't need that is superior or exquisite quality and salvage any crude/fair/average. This matter actually has many points of view, considering your needs, but since i doubt you will be needing that much materials for repairs at your level, you might as well just simply salvage some equipment of the type your are using to have enough in order not to have to purchase them and then just sell the rest.

Niten is not something for lower levels, since it has a catch. It doesn't allow you to gain proficiency, hence strengthen the style. You CAN use it of course, but it's too much trouble.
Generally it's faster for lower levels (till around lv.150) to play as full light armor (leather or better leather shade) and a 2h weapon. A mace will be much better than ANY other for low levels. Some disagree on this, but i'll insist on this point, so don't let others fool you into picking an estoc (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
For the status... I'm not the right person to reply, but all in all... Even all statuses on par will work.
Generally give priority on STR, Endurance and Dexterity. Agility is less important. Wisdom is needed for your mana (magic points) and do raise a bit also the intelligence since that increases your spirit and spirit stance does help a lot clears.
