A question for everyone between level 340 and 380 who uses 1h power: How often do you Cure or Fullcure on PF? I want to narrow down the level range where 1h can play PF while almost never Curing. (If this is known then it'll help those in that range for choosing which type of Power is worthwhile, or help them consider how long a non-Slaughter suffix will remain useful)
(equipment is a big factor too unfortunately, and quality worn varies widely)

There's too many variables with that like whether they are using slaughter/protection or a mix, whether they have them forged and the quality. And it's also very dependent on the actual shield they are using.

I currently have lots of free time and was thinking of earning some easy side money playing HV by getting the daily arena bonuses.
At the current patch and at my level, is it possible for me to go into the arenas naked at normal? Up to which point will I last?
Its not that I don't have good gears, i don't want to deal with all the equipment condition bullshit which was the reason I quit HV.

And it's also very dependent on the actual shield they are using. Though there are a couple of important variables, they're understandable. Unless I'm mistaken, everyone under ~320 Cures sometimes, and everyone over ~390 Cures almost never. There does exist a point past which the majority of players will be rarely Curing. The other good thing is that equipment quality has a relatively strong correlation with level.

If you know how to set things up, the worst cost is having to click a button every few days and spend a relative pittance of scrap/energy cells. It's true that repairing is a credit sink, but it's not much of one. Only a few of the top grinders could justify having even Repair Bear 1, after all, I think. No, playing naked won't work.

If you salvage a lot, you'll probably be able to trade your cloth/wood scrap for metal scrap and still have leftovers. You will have to buy energy cells @ 180 though. Still, the overall negative effect of repairing is very, very minor. For instance, I, without Repair Bear, have acquired a total of ~1800k credits worth of items, plus ~900k worth of credits in the past 4 or 5 days. (Numbers taken from Income Summary) The equivalent credit cost for repairs during that time was only 84k. It's a bit, but nothing more than a tiny annoyance, if you do the math. Even if you have less training, profit will still vastly outweigh repair costs by at least 20 to 1.

It's really too specific to each setup to narrow it down any further. I remember I was never curing even around level 370 (around that level I recorded the video of one of my DwD run, so I'm pretty sure), but that was with 2 prot + 1 warding, all forged to 5+. I don't think a suggestion needs to be that specific, it's enough to know that around level 320-380 1H + power should start moving toward full slaughter. At the end of the day the build should feel good to the one using it, external suggestions imho cannot replace that.

I actually remember reading that. I guess I forgot and just kept piling it on. Time to use it to break some of my records.
With regards to item stats. Does anyone know of a way of extracting the http stats of items using only the address?
I've tried winhttpget but I can't get past the "You need to be logged in" notification.
I'm finding item data comparison very hard, I've got an excel file but even then it's not very intuitive. It's easy for you guys because you know roughly what top ranges of an item could get. I'm stuck with noob syndrome.
