Get several level 25 monsters if you want bindings, raise your monsters to higher levels if you want high grade materials instead.

i will try this way

10 monsters @ level 25 for the bindings

10 monsters @ higher level for other materials

thanks for the advise (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

To get also HG Materials not instead. If the chance to get an binding is decreased by the chance to get HG Materials, someone should have told me and my monsters, because they dont care.

i guess they must be totally random right ？

What you get from your monsters is, yeah. The only thing you can affect is the quality of the materials. Your monster need to reach specific Power Level to bring you MG and HG Materials. But a PL 25 Monster has the same chance to bring you a Binding of Slaughter as a PL 1500.

Question about Shadow Veil:
I'm using 1H style and used to spam shadow veil skill at the beginning of Random Encounter. While i read others' posts , they say this skill is not useful for 1H for decreasing the chance to counter-attack and stun.So i tried several times to not to use this skill, but faced big trouble. I was hit by monsters' MP and SP attack much more often and have to cure frequently besides using Regen. I feel it's harder to play and easier to fail and die.
What cause this? Is it because my block & counter-attack chance not high enough? If so, how much block chance should i get to not to use shadow veil?

My Stats:
block 50.7 parry 26.5 evade 0 resist 7.3
counter-attack 47
1H prof 103

- Is the staff really as good as I think it is?

It's average, Katalox is not the best and the rolls are OKish but nothing more.

- Is Dark viable for PF GF and PF arenas? How it is compared to other elements?

PF GF I'd say it's not good (Dark PF GF is for rich level 500 with willows), PF Arena sure, but maybe not at your level.

- I read some of the advices on the wiki and it says that you have to choose between 4+1 or 3+2 (It's the number of Phase+Cotton, right?). How do I decide that? And which piece(s) should be cotton?

Depends on how do you want to play:
- without imperil
- with imperil

Try to get 1.0 prof factor for the first case, 0.8 for the second.

- How mages play to increase the clear speed? Scripts, hotkey, spell bar... I already use Reloader and saw that I can change the mouseover defaut action to a T1 spell, but how can I imperil/T2/T3 faster?

Either some modded reloader or Crackling Cast.

- I have ~400 hath and the HV hath perks Vigorous Vitality and Innate Arcana II. There's something I should get? Was deciding between Thinking Cap, Innate Arcana III or saving for Effluent Ether... What do you guys think?

Thinking Cap is completely useless.
And you may want the following perks:
- Innate Arcana III
- Effluent Ether
- Innate Arcana IV
- Death and Decay (if you're going with Dark)
- Dæmon Duality
- Evil Enchantress (if you're going to imperil)

(they should be more or less in order of importance)

What is the alternative method to wear and tear your equipment down to 0 aside from getting KO'ed?

Yes, shadow veil is nothing you want as a 1H player. But at your level it is ok to use it, if it keeps you alive. You block looks for your level more than just okay. Im suprise it is even possible wit such a low lvl to reach 50% block. I suggest keep SV still on for a while, upgrade your parry and your PMI and MMI. I guess your PMI and MMI is the bottleneck here.

Well, I wear a set of Exq Shield Plate and a Force shield.
And PMI 65.3 & MMI 54.1 now. I don't know whether it's low or not.

Don't forget to silence. it'd help me

Ah, shield plate. Completly forgot that stuff. Well i guess for your lvl PMI and MMI is average. I suggest, change slowly to power Armor for damage, lvl up further and maybe try to use right from the beginning a Health Draught as secondary regen for the RE and dont think too much about the SV at the moment. You are still at a quite low level, therefore it is okay for you still to use SV.

use it for a very, very big amount of time.

Why do you need your equipment to reach 0 condition? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I killed myself several times to get an average staff condition 0,with it I can train my staff proficiency more easily.

i never understood this method, tbh. why not simply picking a crappy one at this point?

ie: this one from bazaar: http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=1bc5220e37
235 ADB at my level, 565 C.

Probably too easy... i guess. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

i guess so.

I did this too but only with a very weak staff from bazaar. And, go naked with only staff to die, otherwise you will damage your armours

Fair Willow Staff

Just 3ADB,and like DJNoni said,only equip staff death is no harm (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

what is the best potency for 1H rapier???
Overpower is not as important as like for DW because Overwhelming Strike, right???

5 Fatality, 4 Butcher is the best you could possible get.

BTW question marks are no group-living animals.

right. as a guideline, aim for as much Butcher and Fatality as you can.
but in case your rapier isn't an endgame one, don't bother too much with reforging - just go for the IW10 strike and take whatever comes.
if you're tight on budget, you can consider something like 7/8 good potencies out of 9 a big success.
