[X] My Assistant

TL;dr: I need to clear SG arenas in 30 mins. My upgrades are aimed at achieving that.

PFUDOR?
After 70-80M spent, prof forging, customized reloader script, perks and 4t/s line if I get lucky and manage to get good times on all the three SG arenas I can finish them in 30-31 minutes (my best times are 14m23s, 9m36s and 6m47s). (actually I could get better times if I manage to find a good phase robe)
Good luck doing the same (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Getting Sparked is perfectly fine. I often get Sparked every minute as mage sometimes, it's nothing to worry about unless you get Spirit Potion and Spirit Elixir and Last Elixir all on CD.

At IWBTHfest as mage.
It's worrying If he gets sparked during PFUDOR arenas with 1H.
You shouldn't even need to cure with 1H.

SG arenas are trash on high difficulty, and only OK-ish on low difficulty. Feel free to skip them completely.

SG arenas are an acquired taste (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

It's not uncommon in games for there to be very rare high value items in some situations. It's not too easy to rationally consider high-value, low-probability situations, especially when said value and probability isn't well known. "I only need a single X drop to justify expenses/time Y!" But in these sorts of situations, a perspective I figured out a while ago and have found very useful is to assume rare drops are fixed after a certain amount of grinding in the future, which is of course dependent on how much you play (but if you keep playing, you'll certainly get the drops eventually).

For instance, I don't think "I have a tiny chance of getting something good this battle series." Instead, I like to think "If I play another battle series now, I'll be a bit closer to an inevitable good drop in the future." More of a steady progression than a lottery. In the long run, the outlook is just as accurate, but much easier to think about.

surely optimistic sir. what i can say is that - at least for me - REs have a decent quality roll.

let's say something like +60k worth of trophies daily or so, plus 3 tokens granted and a variable amount of dropped ones, plus a handful of artifacts. not mandatory, but they may shave a bit of your balance if you do them at low difficulties. in the long run, if you use a melee set even if you had to burn an ED to do them you may still be on positive

I agree with you, the drops seem surprisingly consistent over time. At this point I can almost predict what amount of arenas I need to clear to get a Legendary drop. On some days when I feel like the "grind timer" is close I can do one extra SG arena or some PFUDORfest and the drop is almost guaranteed. If it doesn't happen, it will likely drop very soon anyway. Same with things like Artifacts, a certain amount of grinding will eventually get you some and even ED rate is somewhat consistent in the long run.

There is no reliable quick profit in this game as far as I'm concerned. It's just a never ending grind with more or less predictable income.

yeah... we all love a good grind! Just to be able to grind faster. So we can grind more in the same amount of grind-time. And then we grind some more. ...I'm outta here, gotta grind!

yeah... we all love a good grind!

I was just for a moment considering bidding on that LARD that's in auction today. But in no time the bids went over 20M. Well, a good LARD these days is hard to find, so I guess I'll be gentle with this LARDof mine. Fregal Sharkey told us this already many years ago.

Hath are down to 5.1~5.3k (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Yeah, I noticed. Probably a good moment to go for the next damage hath perk. That would be 6000 hath, for me... I have 128. hmmm, maybe I should wait until hath is down to 1000 c...

I was selling my hath to the exchange to pay off my debt faster, but I guess I'm not doing it anymore for a while (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)
I need hath too for perks so selling when they go down is bad (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Yeah, nice time to buy hath but I'm broke. Maybe time to auction sth for my crystal perk.

I can't identify any item with that acronym (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

You are broken because you are active. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
You will be rich when you retire. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

^this really hit me (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

So if I retire, who will give me 100000 hath and 1b credits? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Wow wtf happened to hath prices? I wonder if I should sell all my hath now, just to avoid even bigger disaster :<

^^ that's how it happened imo

Wow wtf happened to hath prices?

Just people that asked themself: "I wonder if I should sell all my hath now, just to avoid even bigger disaster" and answered this question with yes.

Hath price sure is going down, it's pretty much hitting the 5000c mark at the moment. It's a pretty significant drop from 6k to 5k in couple weeks. For example Gold Star (~30M credits) in hath would have cost 5000 hath before and now it's 6000 hath. I guess the price will keep going down slowly in the future. Only things that could bring it back up are new (useful) hath perks or people stopping to sell hath for cheaper prices (which is unlikely to happen).

I think that kind of mentality is the cause of hath price going down (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

The situation reminds me of Jenga201 selling some hath few months ago, except now the drop is more gradual. I'm also thinking of selling some hath, but I guess I might as well use it myself or let it be so I don't contribute to the price drop. Anyway, while the hath price goes down I will feel less bad about eventually shutting down my client, the lost income becomes smaller all the time.
