QUOTE(simrock87 @ Feb 16 2016, 02:29)  Yeah, treated triple resist as having three cases instead of only one >.<  Wouldn't that make 81% CR? Sometimes i despair with additive and multiplicative here (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) Yeah only damage and crit dmg is added. All other stats are multiplicative, that is I only remember that 2 for now, maybe there are more.

Sorry to interrupt your conversation here about some diabolic formulas, but I have an easy question for experts. Imaging two different scenarios: FIRST - player completed in one day all first page arena's stages (from First Blood to Endgame) on NIGHTMARE difficulty SECOND - player completed in one day all first page arena's stages (from First Blood to Endgame) on PFUDOR difficulty
Now, comes a question - do player have any benefits in second scenario equips-drop-wise. In other way - do player will collect more good quality equips in second scenario, compare to first? Drop rate of mag, leg and peer equal in both scenario?
Yesterday I did a run on nightmare. Got 3 mag and bunch of trashy. Today did a similar run, but on PFUDOR and got 2 mag., so thats why I am asked you =)

Yes higher diff will have better drops. But peerless is always 1/1million, starting at hell.

QUOTE Yes higher diff will have better drops. But peerless is always 1/1million, starting at hell. Thanks ^^ I forgot to mention and want to make it clear... I know about "Nintendo and above have 0% chance for Fair/Crude; Nightmare and below have 0% chance for Legendary/Peerless; some weirdness about tiers as complete bonus,e.t.c." I want to point that I asked especially about Nintendo versus PFUDOR on first page arenas, no more-no less. Sorry ^^

if i had enough time/will to play, i'd do pretty much everything at PF until T&T included. SGs only for trophies and token drop, thus at Hard or so.

QUOTE(Scremaz @ Feb 15 2016, 09:42)  DW Slash/Slash isn't the best combo possible. it may work for a while but it will leave you quite on difficulty later. you will definitely switch to a Rapier sooner or later, but for now you'd better use somthing like a Shortsword or a Waki on offhand to boost Parry. either way, Leather armors are suggested over Plate because they have better overall defense - especially against magical attacks - and because it will lower your MP usage.
DEX is quite low. raise it at the same level of STR. AGI too, if you switch to Leather.
APs invested are useless if you don't slot the relative abilities. use Mastery Points ot unlock slots. Tanks and Potion abilities are almost mandatory, and so are Armor and Weapon style. Supportive spells as well, especially Cure, Regen, Protection, Haste as soon as they become available. Shadow Veil too, unless you use 1H style
[edit]: oh, and don't waste anymore credits into training for now.
I swear I learn more about this game all the time. I didn't really understand the abilities page and made adjustments after reading your post. And realized I needed to add the abilities I was upgrading to the bar above. I bought an average rapier and start working on with item world, and a full set of average leather. Pumping up dex and agi at the same time. Would you recommend the protection leather?

Would you recommend the protection leather?  way better now. and yes, at your level the biggest amount of attacks recieved are physical type, so boosting PMI is definitely a good thing. furthermore, with Leather you will earn a certain amount of Evade and Resist. meanwhile, you started another training and your weapon has bad condition. be careful about not being defeated or you will lose 10% condition on all your gears everytime this happens. under 50% stats will start to decrease

Yeah I had started another % drop before you had responded to my original post. Is it not worth training at this time? Also, PMI? An additional question, Upgrading weapons is nice that it saves the time gaining potency. But it's rare that I get low-grade materials. I found on the wiki salvaging specific qualities of plate/weapons have a chance to drop these mats. However even this seems like a low drop rate. Thank you for your assistance

personally i don't think so. i mean, surely they are quite cheap at your level but you may need credits for more urgent things. QUOTE(ktahku @ Feb 15 2016, 20:37)  Also, PMI?
Physical MItigation, the stat boosted by Protection suffix (and Endurance attribute) QUOTE(ktahku @ Feb 15 2016, 20:37)  An additional question, Upgrading weapons is nice that it saves the time gaining potency.
what you need the most now are the stat that scale very good with levels - thus Physical Damage. no need to upgrade the others, especially because you will replace those gears quite soon QUOTE(ktahku @ Feb 15 2016, 20:37)  But it's rare that I get low-grade materials.

every item you salvage gives you a certain amount of Scraps. Superior quality gives you Low Grade materials + Scraps. Exquisite quality gives you Mid Grade materials + Scraps. Magnificent/Legendary quality gives High Grade materials + Scraps. therefore, to have LG you have to salvage Superiors.

I just had to teach a level 360-370 player how to cast buffs. It seems he did not know they existed before.
Sigh.

QUOTE(LOL50015 @ Feb 16 2016, 04:34)  I was wondering......what is the rationale for shelling out 25m for a gold star anyway? Because if someone is earning the equivalent of 1m every day or two, as super rich players can do (effort varies), why not. Also, because QUOTE Hath Perks: Ads-Be-Gone, Tag Flagging, More Thumbs, More Pages The ability to create Private galleries Image limit allocation linked to account rather than IP address Hath Perks: Multi-Page Viewer, All Thumbs, Too Many Pages +50% HP/MP/SP regeneration Double the monster slots in Monster Lab Half the monster morale and hunger drain rates Increased forum avatar height 2,000 forum PM storage Access to the Gold Star Club subforum All Confectionaries Option to change display name Additional picture usable in forum profile Perhaps it's not so much that the bonuses are great - except for the double monster lab slots, which is amazing - but that 30m just isn't all that much to them, and by the time players can start considering something like that, investing even millions of credits into improving their gear will have only very marginal results. So, getting that many permanent bonuses for that amount is a nice deal for them. That's for those upgrading to a gold star from nothing. I don't understand those who'd upgrade past a gold star (except if they just want to donate because they want to donate) - they already have everything important, XP is irrelevant, and the income is negligible.

QUOTE(formigao @ Feb 16 2016, 06:41)  Prefix doesn't match, but at that level finding matching staffs is very very difficult. If you get lucky, someone impatient may eventually buy it for some credits just because they can't find anything else, but that may not happen.
