OFC all the way, sure IA makes the game easier by needing less input from you into the game, but having a strong attack every 50 turns really help clearing rounds, especially REs

i did it guys, i won both slaughter leggings in each auction; but at what cost?
im not sure i made the right decision by paying 3mill more for a savage with only 25%ADB compared to the 76% regular one. now i just need to see how much money im going to lose when i resell one of them.

I found from some threads below which asks the monster win rate and such. And someone mentioned that instead of rely on monster winnings, should instead go for a bunch of low PL monsters.
However, gifts from monster needs morale, and with no crystal hath perk, lazy grindfest and PA selling (WTS not bazaar) instead of shrined, I found out that is hard to maintain morale for my monster without Happy pills, and they kinda dun come cheap.
So should I keep my monster count low (as in 1?), or just spam chaos token to create and discard low PL monsters, which feed only if hunger down but not morale?

i'd still suggest you to keep going with happy pills. i don't remember when exactly they need one without gold star, but it shouldn't be too often. first morale drain reduction step is reached at PL200, but it would already cost you 40k to reach it.

i guess he wanted to be sure to have at least one.

i proxy'd the one in super's auction before i knew about the savage one in the other auction. everyone said the savage was better so i went for that one too. everyone should learn from my mistake and wait until all the auctions have been posted before bidding. i'm likely going to lose at least 500k-1mill on resale of the 76% ADB slaughter leggings

I was reading something in the forge menu: Rare equipment types will also require a special component to upgrade. This component is only needed to increase the highest stat - if you previously spent five of them to increase a stat to Level 5 then every other stat can be increased to Level 5 without spending any additional rare components.
The available upgrades are: Physical Damage 0/61 Physical Hit Chance 0/30 Physical Crit Chance 0/30 Physical Defense 0/30 Magical Defense 0/30 Crushing Mitigation 0/30 Slashing Mitigation 0/30 Piercing Mitigation 0/30 Strength Bonus 0/30 Dexterity Bonus 0/30 Endurance Bonus 0/30
The first 5 levels need 5 Repurposed Actuators, let's say I decide to upgrade Physical Damage 5 levels. Will all the other upgrades not need actuators? Will the only one that'll need them be Physical Damage?
If so, if I decide to upgrade, should I upgrade the cheapest one to avoid using actuators in the most expensive upgrades?
Edit: I just read it again and... Every new level I upgrade will cost an actuator. Am I right? Doesn't matter which upgrade, as long as it's a new level.

Don't worry man, I too bought a power armour before since the ADB rolls were so good and I would just wait until I can be 80 levels away from it. Then suddenly something literally better in almost every way popped up at the next auction >.> Edit: Although the scale in credits spent isn't really that close to yours (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) I doubt I could sell mine back though This post has been edited by IshimaruShun: Nov 26 2016, 16:09

doesn't latanium's proxy service allow you to forfait a proxy bid?

special components are required only to unlock a new level. once that's unlocked, all the other levels will feast upon that. therefore, if you unlock ie Crushing mit to lv30, then you can upgrade also ADB, PMI, MMI, ACC... whatever you want without sinking another single actuator. this applies for every other rare-tier gear as well, btw.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) told me only in extreme cases cause he would have to manually change it and hope it doesn't screw anything else up in the database. so i just accepted my fate. I'm just glad no one ran the price up on me in the last few minutes like most other times. This post has been edited by jackalo: Nov 26 2016, 16:17

So you're telling me... I just need a total of 25 actuators to upgrade my whole set of armours to 5?

Forge all stats to 25 = 25 actuators.This post has been edited by Superlatanium: Nov 26 2016, 16:40

You need 5 to upgrade everything to 5, same logic applies to every next level. For a moment there I thought I wasted 30 DMMs when upgrading my shield (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) it's okay, I guess. This post has been edited by Chraunzen: Nov 26 2016, 16:19

he spoke about his whole set of armors, sir. 5 armors, each of those at lv5, equale 25 actuators total. so the answer is yes.
