maybe... if 1h-caster build getting it's fanbase, it might sell for some....

I'm struggling to figure out which items I should try to forge to help me pfudor more on mage.

I'm guessing isn't the best legendary there is but it seems to be the best item I've got.

Also would this item be any value:

Thank you for your answer. I'm trying to gain staff proficiency and for some reason it was taking me forever to gain anything even though my Assimilator training sitting at 6/10 and staff proficiency is below 250.

As expected. Every 5-10 levels I raise my staff prof to my level again and it takes an hour or two at 3.8 t/s for 5-10 prof points.

The upside is that while I'm doing this I don't have to look at the screen or concentrate at all, so I can just watch anime/etc. It's a lot easier than even ordinary 1h play, and a whole lot easier than ordinary mage play, so I don't really mind.

Penetrator 4 or 5 will help you far more than anything else, if you want to play on PF.

Roger that. But it is worth forging fully? I'm intending to chuck all my earnings towards building this item to start.

err , nope

better wait till you find some matching prefix and suffix staff (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Definitely not. With tristar and your other benefits, you should be able to level up pretty quickly, and once you get to ~350 or so, finding a 0.82+ staff with matching type/prefix/suffix within the range of 350-450 should be doable. With Bindings of Destruction @ 70k and HGW @ 10k, forging past 10 or 15 likely isn't worth it except on very high quality gear. Ethereal prefix is worthless, and Willow >>> Redwood if you use Imperil.

If you have a lot of funds now and want to improve your play, I'd go for perks:
(*) VV
(*) EE
(*) DD
(*) Depreciating perk
(*) Elemental perk?
Those are all permanent, and are probably significantly better investments than anything that could be done with lower-level, lower-quality gear that you're likely to replace in under 60 levels.

hey experts, "offtopic" question^^

what would a rent server cost which is just fine to use H@H on ? I guess that would be a lot more cheaper than running my own PC all the time and letting the electricity invoice explode (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

or just donate as much as needed for Tristar (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Oooh, favorite topic (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

If you're looking at VPS, it ends up somewhere between 10-15USD a month usually (roughly adapted from EUR).
Look for 100MBit/s with unmetered/unlimited traffic (important, read the fine print). The server needs to be able to run java, and you're looking for 200G or more space. More ram is better, as H@H will try to store as much as it can there to cut down on disk i/o to speed up deliveries. Try to aim for 2G or more here.
If you're familiar with linux, that's a plus, since you can just start with a minimal OS and not have to spend 500M ram on gui tasks like some win servers (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

In my experience, avoid so called "seed boxes" even if they're monumentally cheap in comparison, they tend to vastly underperform.
Also you need to monitor your box regularly, as some hosters oversell their physical boxes so that you don't even get 20Mbit or the server runs out of open sockets to service requests (been there, done that). One of my past providers decided to downgrade one of my boxes from 100Mbit to 20K, even if they didn't have anything like this stated in the contract (ftr, contacted support, quit the contract immediately and got my last payment back), so try to avoid overly long contract terms (i only go for monthly rates with no cancellation term (missing the proper english word here ^^)).

If you want to avoid some of the above problems, you can go for a dedicated server, which runs somewhere between 30USD and ... pretty much as much as you want to pay... if you have enough money, you could rent a 50TB box with a 10GBit/s uplink (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Depending on where you live/rent the server, check local legislation for their opinion on loli/shota, as these type of images may or may not get stored on the server and you don't have any control over this.


Last thing, if you decide to get a dedicated box, don't be surprised that your hath/day starts at about 3 or so, it will get up, but this will take a while. Usually you're looking at 2-4 months to get to 20hath/day on a fresh box.

Definitely not.

Thank you, I appreciate this input. I'm guessing the matching prefix is a shocking one ><

How do I find out what the maximum stats for a given item level is? It's hard to judge whether a drop is at the top end or nowhere near. The scaling factor says it's (1+level/scale)*base stats. What are the base stat range?

The wiki. You can use Equipment Comparison script to eyeball it, though you'll need to get used to the slightly skewed values due to 0.82.

Where, besides the item shop, which I assume is a bad credit sink, do you get repair materials like scrap wood and scrap leather? Or rather what's the most efficient way to acquire them? I've gotten wrecked a few more times than intended and now am suffering from lessened defense and weapon damage.

Somewhat related: I was told earlier in the thread that rapiers are better than shortswords but I have a sneaking suspicion that an exquisite shortsword beats out a superior rapier given my increased death rates on hell.

WTS forum. Or WTB forum if you're willing to wait a while and put up a good price / get lucky.

No way. I'd prefer an Exquisite rapier over a Peerless shortsword any time, especially on FSM and high difficulty SG arenas. Nothing compares to Penetrated Armor.

Axe/club might be better in certain situations on low difficulty, when monsters all die in 2-3 hits or less (PA doesn't have enough chance to proc and be useful), but otherwise, rapier is better.

ping <1ms to the router for me too. 2ms when it's really constipated. it's for this reason that i don't understand myself why wi-fi vs. cable should really make that bif od a difference. afterall my line is a 7Mbit/s and wireless should be at least 54Mbit/s, so quite a long way to go to saturate the bandwidth, isn't it?

Wifi usually adds 10-30% latency due to a wide range of factors that affect signal quality and strength.

This seems to be the case with acquiring a decent rapier as well. I have no time or interest in engaging in a forum to buy and sell materials so I'm probably shit out of luck, right?

I really only do random encounters these days due to a complete lack of knowledge as to how to properly fight in this game or make money at all and I've seemed to die more frequently; I don't know if that's just from random chance and getting crit for over half of my health (when I use spark of life or spirit shield, I don't ever get hit and when I don't, I die).

Expanding from that, how do you manage mana in this game? I am always low on it, even when consuming potions and healing items, which after the new patch I seem to have very few of at any given point in time. Are people buying them off of the item store (if so, this rolls back into my "how do you earn money" question).

I'm probably being really thick here. But I can't find this in the wiki.

Thank you so much. I've read almost all the wiki pages and somehow I've never seen this one >_>

Back to the books.

You can run h@h on cheaper vps servers at <4$ per month too.
I'm running h@h on my spare server with 20G cache limit allocated. 27MB/s up, 1G mem, ±7k quality.
It has reached 3.3h/day and hasn't gone up for a week (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) Not sure what stops it.

As mentioned by simrock, you want high storage limit, unmetered bandwidth ( though, if you do the math and observe the h@h network utilization, ±2TB seems enough-ish for low end vpses ), and high inbound connection speed.
High memory limit and dedicated cpu helps, but without the previously mentioned properties, they are nothing.

Also, when searching for a vps you will see the type of the virtualization of the server.
Three of the most common ones are OpenVZ, KVM, and Xen.
tl;dr OpenVZ can be oversold. (resulting in lower cpu and network speed) Xen and KVM can't be oversold.

WTS has prices not so far away from bazaar. WTB - well, you have to check if other buyers do exist.
the cheapest way is to salvage staffs/shields (for wood) and 1H/2H/heavy armors (for metal)

Wifi usually adds 10-30% latency due to a wide range of factors that affect signal quality and strength.

wi-fi speed is 150 Mbit (just checked) and strength of signal is almost maximum - between my laptop and the router there are either 6~7 meters of air or one wall - when my connection has a 7 Mbit speed. i still can't understand where's the problem, let's put that latency will be raised to 50% and the wifi speed halved, it still is 10x ADSL speed. am i wrong?
