Even if we died in the arena, we get to keep whatever stuff dropped right? Dunno if I got the precursor artifact or not D: I can't remember if I had only one or two

QUOTE(Hakrei @ Sep 11 2016, 03:33)  I'm kind of overwhelmed over the new types of monster available in the monster lab creation that have been released since I've last visited and was wondering if there are any recommendations amongst them or is it more of preference thing? I knew Humanoid and Dragonkin used to be favored in the past.
i guess it depends on the PL you want to reach. for example, if you plan to keep them at PL50 there shouldn't be that big of a difference QUOTE(IshimaruShun @ Sep 11 2016, 09:40)  Even if we died in the arena, we get to keep whatever stuff dropped right?

yes, you keep whatever you earned until that moment. but every death will make you lose 10% condition on all your gears so you will have to repair them more frequently

I have some question. First is about bazar. Is the equipment sold there always around lv 300-400? Some unassigned equipment usually just average. I want to try this soulfuse thing but I slowly level up and I can't soulfuse equipment above lv of my level. Even with IWBTH difficulty, usually I could hold up to 20 floors in grindfest. I already check some thread at WTS forum but mostly they also sell unassigned & lv 300-400. Second, I need advice with DW build especially with stat spread. From what I understand DW build relying AGI and DEX. Is there are any optimal number? Something like if my STR is 100, my other stat should +25, +25, +10 etc. This is my current stat.

Bazaar doesn't generate items on its own but instead offers the equipments other players sold to it, so you'll mostly find high level stuff there. Also, most of it will be junk (even Magnificents and Legendaries), as players prefer to sell good stuff via WTS forum or auctions (or keep it for self-use in the first place). As for DW fighting style, your stat distribution looks fine to me. You shoud keep STR, DEX, AGI and END roughly equal, preferably somewhat above your level. For WIS it'll be sufficient to keep it about equal to your level, and INT can be completely ignored (no need to de-level it, but don't spend more points on it for now). Also, instead of doing GF, you'll be better off clearing arenas instead (more EXP & additional equipment drops from clear bonus). Your weapon choice at this point should ideally be Rapier (Mainhand, with Slaughter/Balance/Nimble suffix) and Wakizashi (Offhand, Nimble suffix).

Ah, I always thought its randomly generated just like traditional games. Thanks for DW advice. I'm also clearing arena. But mostly I set it to Hell difficulty for anything longer than 40 floors. It's scary in IWBTH when I forgot to cast Spark of Life. Unfortunately my weapon isn't rapier/wakizashi. I got one ethereal from shrine offer. I'm using this until I could get any rapier around my level.

I would recommend to consider investing in the innate arcana hath perk. It's might be kind of pricey at your level (50 hath for the first one), but having a constant skill like spark and/or spirit shield active without recasting it can really make a difference.

Edit: I know they're rare (I think, pretty sure), but is this one in particular good? Or just rare trash Well, technically it's more of an armor than a weapon^^ but yes, it is pretty good. It is a - Peerless - Shade Armor - with a good prefix (Agile) Suffix isn't ideal (Shadowdancer and Fleet are both better), but inlcuding 1 Negation piece into a Light Armor build is viable if nor reasonable.

How much would this sell for? I'm not really interested in it (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Since it's peerless I would try to ask a high price as start (not less than 1M maybe), you can always reduce it later.

Go with either Superlatanium or Lian, they both do auctions on a weekly basis.

Spark at his level. QUOTE(Chraunzen @ Sep 11 2016, 23:41)  Is this a good armor**? [ i.imgur.com] http://i.imgur.com/zlVZmrg.png I just got it.

Peerless to 2016 newbies and a Mag Cotton/month (if ever!) to a 2007 veteran? damn you snowflake. is it your way to tell me that i'm an old fart and should quit? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) not big market use for that, especially because of suffix. but still, prefix is decent and level is really low. you may find some buyer for that, i guess.

i was just looking at super's results right now. 500k doesn't seem so unreasonable, especially if Vriska is around and still misses it for his collection. but given its level, i hope it'll go to a mid-level who will actually use it.

Vriska seems to have 10 sets each of any equipment category - I think it will do at least double of what you are projecting, that low level really makes it very attractive to the larger market.

The prefixed Mag rapier is solid for a low-level player, even if it's obsolete and has lower ADB. I'd use it and soulfuse it ASAP, it could last you until level 250-something. Having a quality weapon whose stats scale with your level is one of the most important things you can get. (Though I suggest IWing it to 10 before soulfusing, it'll add a huge chunk of extra damage)
The force shield is all right, but the most important stat (block) doesn't scale much with level, so soulfusing it won't exactly help much.
Shade is meh. 0 piercing mitigation may well make things very difficult for you, at least before level 250 or so. Not worth soulfusing.
