Is this exp allocation ok?

I keep Strength and Dexterity 40 levels below my current level, Agility and Endurance 10 levels above, Intelligence 50 levels above and Wisdom ~20 levels above.
At the end of the day though it's more about how much damage you can dish out per turn.
If you can kill enemies fast enough, you don't really need to worry about having a good defense, since they won't have the time to do any serious damage (most of the time, anyway).
Having more Evade is always a good thing, though.

Hows it going guys, I just started playing the game a couple of days ago. Anyways, I was wonder if anyone could give me some tips on which trainings and stats I should focus on? I'm currently level 30, dual wielding, and I have trained Scavenger 4 times so far.

I tried using the search function but I can't seem to find information for what I'm asking.


Since you're melee, str, dex, agi and end are the most important. If you plan on changing to mage later, (a lot of people recommend this), agi and end are more important, since they can be carried over, while dex and str become useless. Int is absolutely useless now and can be pumped later if necessary

Oh and wisdom is very important too, you need the mana for cures. Right now, at my level i'm keeping all the melee stats at the same as my level while my wisdom is a little below. Hope this helps.

Training wise... the loot based ones should be good. The rest are currently not so worth it. You don't need ability points or exp bonuses and the last 4 are useful only for higher levels (i suppose you can unlock an aura slot or two if you really want to though). Assimilator, to me, is only effective when trying to level up proficiencies you do not normally use (pro level is very far below your current level), or unless you're rich enough to get at least 5 levels maybe.

Alright, thank you. I'll allocate things a bit in the next few days.

Ahh, I see. I don't really like the thought of being a mage but perhaps it's something I'll look into. Thanks.

Less INT, more STR.

If I don't care about getting the maximum amount of crystals (via max'ing the hath perk Crystarium), is there any other reason I should hold off on offering artifacts until a later level? (I've recently been selling all my artifacts to players and spending all the money on training.)

Same question for trophies. Should I just hoard them until I'm at a higher level (200?)? Right now, I've got decent equipment and am not looking for upgrades at the moment.

If you are satisfied with your gear I would recommend hoarding trophies till you get to a higher lvl. Its like your lvling all the items you would get from them at the same time if you would use them. Or you can look at it like your increasing the pool of people that would buy w/e they turn into by increasing its lvl.

Holding on to Trophies doesn't seem worth it unless you have Noodly Appendages or Saplings.

Artifacts you should probably offer to Snowflake, since they can give more than just Crystals (Ability Points, Hath, attribute bonuses, etc.)

I second lowering your INT. Since you are not caster, you get more benefits from putting points into all your other stats. But because INT does increase your mana for every 4 points, it's still good to invest some in it. I usually keep my INT around 30-35 points below my WIS. The reasoning is because at 30-35 points below, the cost of 4 points in INT would be equal to 1 point in WIS in terms of increasing your mana. If you want to be really accurate, just make sure you invest points in the cheaper of the following two choices:

1. Total exp cost for 4 points of INT
2. Exp cost for 1 point of WIS

Example: If it costs me a total of 60,000 exp to increase INT by 4 and it only costs 58,000 exp to increase WIS by 1. Put the exp towards WIS. Now the next WIS point will probably cost more than 60,000. So the next time I have the exp, I'd put it into 4 points of INT.

Even if you bazaar the gear if its higher lvl it sells for more ? Idk you don't really get a lot of trophies at that lvl anyways so its not a huge deal either way.

I just got cleared the gods in the course of a week, netting 350K, and I blew it all by camping in the crystal section of the Bazaar.

Now that I got all my Monsters up to at least power level 50, question is which ones should I focus on now?

Also, I feel that my Dragon could use a better name, any suggestions?
This good enough?


Go for better stats, non-ethereal. Use infusions of Divinity (it's weak to divine, as opposed to just "not affected").

Looks like i'll be going back to my old setting of keeping Int 10 points below the other stats.

I do need some spells though;

Using protection and cure most of the time, the rest are used with channeling effect or when a legendary pops up.

Planning to become a mage at level 100+. Is there a point in training the lower tier spells (other than for resists) or can i just skip straight to the highest tier spells of each type?

Int doesn't effect the strength of support or cure spells. Unless you're using spells that damage the enemy directly, the only gain intelligence gives you is MP.

I've been using first tier spells almost exclusively up to this point. They have fast action speeds, low costs, and I still only need 1-2 AoEs to clear a round of mobs. Higher tiers will eat through your mana and leave you magic missling much sooner.

Just want to check, guys... Is my calculations based on Wiki damage avoidance formulas are right?

Chance to avoid physical attack:

1-[(1-Evasion)*(1-Block)*(1-Parry)]

Evasion: 23.7% = 0.237
Block: 32.3% = 0.323
Parry: 11.2% = 0.112

1-[(1-0.237)*(1-0.323)*(1-0.112)]=1-(0.763*0.677*0.888)≈1-0.459=0.541 (54.1%)

Chance to avoid magical attack:

1-[(1-Evasion)*(1-Block)*(1-Resist)]

Evasion: 23.7% = 0.237
Block: 32.3% = 0.323
Resist: 40.4% = 0.404

1-[(1-0.237)*(1-0.323)*(1-0.404)]=1-(0,763*0,677*0,596)≈1-0.308=0.692 (69,2%)

You also need to factor in Shadow Veil (for physical attacks) and mob hit chance.

According to the above, I would have a 70.6% physical avoidance and 51.2% magical avoidance (19.3 Evasion, 0% Block, 12.5% Parry, 32.5% Resist).

?

1-(1-0.193)*(1-0.125) = 0.2938 = 29.38%
1-(1-0.193)*(1-0.325) = 0.4552 = 45.52%
