QUOTE(Scremaz @ Mar 7 2017, 21:05)  not that i know. they should all have fixed values. oh. then he'll have to go for a WTB, i guess another Elec mage? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) hmm... for such an unusual way to go, i'd open sort of an announcement thread with your equip exposed and, saying, 3 days countdown in which you'll say you'll accept credits, hath, item valued at price check thread or slightly less... just to let people enough time to earn the needed amount of credits somehow. then, since you'll be sort of a minor auctioneer, the actual auction thread which starts at monday? tuesday? and ends one hour after latanium's. it would also be a breathe of fresh air in this section (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) another way (which will require the cooperation of the user who already sent you an offer) may be a public evaluation of said offer. there's the chance that considering forge, IWs and whatnot it may already be good enough, who knows? be sure to ask him if he's fine with discussing it publicly though. if he wants to remain anonymous, i can take those items in my MM and leave them pending until he'll call them back himself. i do ask them (dont know their gender) if the offers still stands. maybe after a reply or maybe they read this thread already i dont know, but i will then ask wether its possible to bring the offer to public. anyway, theyre a lv 500 user though. but, i dont fully understand what you propose. youre saying i should just announce it in price check thread or open a wts "auction" thread? i do understand the 3days thingy so it can gives enough time for people to take a look. maybe i should also use the auction timer thingy.

QUOTE(RoadShoe @ Mar 7 2017, 16:37)  Just a side question.. On Peerless weapons, are all stats static L with exception of ADB/MDB? I keep seeing ADB/MDB fluctuate on them, with all other stats static.
That happens on forged equips due to the scripts using slightly incorrect formula and estimating the base ADB/MDB wrong. Scremaz promised to fix this. QUOTE(NerfThis @ Mar 7 2017, 17:30)  This increases all stats by a bit, not just ADB/MDB.

well, reaching lv400 won't take you too much. the problem will be to raise the proper amount of fragments and such. i encourage you not to buy them from bazaar though. QUOTE(diegodiego13 @ Mar 7 2017, 15:13)  but, i dont fully understand what you propose. youre saying i should just announce it in price check thread or open a wts "auction" thread?
first an announcement (which will last a bunch of days) to build a bit of advertising, then the auction. the announcement should be opened on friday for obvious reasons (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) QUOTE(diegodiego13 @ Mar 7 2017, 15:13)  maybe i should also use the auction timer thingy.
of course. it's there for a reason afterall. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Only hath barons can afford a 100m+ staff and some of them already have a PSWD that they don't use instead of us poor Elec mages. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) those staffs don't count, if you ask me. for example, blackjac's a 1H melee and doesn't plan to shift too soon, afaik. and not sure chronokorea is an Elec mage to begin with. on the other hand, guess that many people may think that a LSWD is already enough, and don't want to go through the pain of a new IW just to show off a P. but well, still too early to say anything (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I'm finally building a good mage set so I can get through arenas. I ended up with wind because that's what's for sale, but it seems like the elements are subtly different in the amount of resistance monsters have, the spell shield effect, and the spell effect. I'll go on the highest difficulty I can quickly. I'm only in it for the tokens because I just want less emaciated monsters. Collateral loot and fun are acceptable. What is each element considered best for? Which are best used with imperil, and which aren't? Following on that, I'm lucky enough to own this wind staff: http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=382d7d981dQuestion: with that much built in counter-resist, how much elemental proficiency should I aim for? Is there a good wiki page describing elements, imperil, gear selection(e/g/ how many phase, how many proficiency), and relative play style? I know cast speed, crit probability and damage, EDB, MDB, varying real world results and such make this question impossible to answer in the specific. Just hoping for abstract generalities. Thanks in advance. This post has been edited by magwitch: Mar 7 2017, 18:41

don't remember the source, but ssss brought out datas that hint all elements are pretty much equal on efficiency, at least on GF. all elements should imperil afaik, but holy and dark can somehow go on even without it. they only need higher prof.

Is there a good wiki page describing elements, imperil, gear selection(e/g/ how many phase, how many proficiency), and relative play style? prof factor should be 0.7 or so, thus your prof being 170% your level. are you level 405? your elemental prof should be 690 or so. the amount of cottons has to be chosen judging by which slot(s) allow you to reach that value. eventually even with the perk. https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Proficiencies#Magic_Proficiencieshttps://ehwiki.org/wiki/HentaiVerse_Advice_...ced#Mage_Builds

For elemental mage who play PFUDOR arenas, and you use 4+1 set (4 Phase + 1 Cotton) will be better. QUOTE(Scremaz @ Mar 7 2017, 18:22)  all elements should imperil afaik, but holy and dark can somehow go on even without it. they only need higher prof.
Sure. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE(magwitch @ Mar 7 2017, 18:09)

Thanks in advance.
You are level 405, I think the following forging is enough if you only play PFUDOR Arenas. You can forge your staff (Magical Damage Lv.50 Magical Crit Chance Lv.20 Elemental Proficiency Lv.25 Deprecating Proficiency Lv.25 Wind Spell Damage Lv.25 Intelligence Bonus Lv.20 Wisdom Bonus Lv.20) and Phase cloth (Physical Defense Lv.10 Evade Chance Lv.10 Wind Spell Damage Lv.10 Agility Bonus Lv.10 Intelligence Bonus Lv.10 Wisdom Bonus Lv.10) and Cotton cloth (Elemental Proficiency Lv.20-30). If you want faster Arenas cleared time, Radiant prefix is a good choice. This post has been edited by vivikinomoto123: Mar 7 2017, 19:19

just wondering, how important is Resist for a mage? an unmissable stat or something that if comes it's good, otherwise not worth mentioning? i mean, if i uprade WIS i'm more interested in MP tank or in Resist?

Thank you for weighing in. Does it matter much which slot? Can you have too much counter-resist, or is 0.7 with phase just the apex of the curve? QUOTE(vivikinomoto123 @ Mar 7 2017, 19:16)  If you want faster Arenas cleared time, Radiant prefix is a good choice.
Why do so many go with charged?

yes and yes. consider that the more prof you have past that point, the more EDB you're throwing away. that's why before i said you should decide which slot based on which piece allows you to reach that threshold. obviously, 0.01~0.02 means nothing, but still... QUOTE(magwitch @ Mar 7 2017, 18:49)  Why do so many go with charged?
because it's another way to boost firepower. the difference is between hitting the same amount of times but stronger or more times but with the same force as usual.

Deep, deep in the PF-fest I need all the help I can get (except vase and gum - that's cheating). So I value my resist, too. But not as much as my Pmit and Evade. MP tank for me is now more than enough, but that's probably because of my eco4 on my staff*. My stash of mana elixir is growing. *Can't reforge that staff, because I don't have a spare staff to IW it with. Because I think Id rather have spellweaver and or archmage next to the 5 pen.
