Legendary Tempestuous Ebony Staff of Destruction (200 Rounds)

Level 2 -> Economizer 2

Item World is very stressful. For the first 150 or so rounds you don't really think too much about it, but once you notice the round counter nearing the end, you start getting really nervous about which potency you'll get. :\

The most stressful is when you're about to get level 10 on a void weapon, lol, all that work just for the possibility of getting fucked over by the elemental strike. I'm always nervous those last 20 rounds. Speaking of which...

Just one more level until I have dual-wielding void weapons with elemental strike and s.s. lv.5 on each (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Even if I don't get a "good" elemental strike I'm still gonna stick with it for now. I have too many other ethereal weapons to worry about leveling (namely my new rapier and my estoc, for which I won't settle for anything but holy/dark/soul). Anyway, it'll just be nice to have elemental strike on my main-hand weapon again. Sucks that I won't be getting my fourth turn until at least lv.370 though (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .

Level 3 - > Unlocked innate potential: Archmage Level 1

Well, at least it's not a PAB, so I won't reset right away. This will turn out fine as long as a third potency doesn't appear. (Although I'm sure one will.)

True. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It would surprise me if Tenboro didn't introduce something just as annoying for staffs in the future, though.

Died 5 rounds short of completing my Hallowed Estoc on IWBTH.
I curse my lack of the last Pack Rat. Apparently I'll need 5-6 Mana Elixirs (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Honestly the worst part was that my best drop was probably a 1 artifact.

Given the odds of getting a good elemental strike, is it worth it to start with an Ethereal weapon instead of a non-Ethereal weapon with the elemental strike you want? Considering how unlikely it is to get your preferred combination of potencies (p.s. congrats on your SS lvl 5 & Butcher lvl 4 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ), is it more cost effective to buy amnesia shards to reset a maxed level item than constantly using featherweight shards for your weapon or living with the interference and burden? Since I spend most of my time grinding in IW, I'd like to know what more experienced player like you think. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

She said, "Hit it again." so I did... Legendary Arctic Axe Of Slaughter
The only surprise is whether it's Butcher or SS, 'twas Butcher. ^^

Lower level players will do better with Ethereal weapons, because Burden is still a big factor. It matters less as you advance. Interference is always an issue for Mana consumption. Truthfully, there are sexier Elemental strikes, but extra damage is extra damage. You'll do slightly better on those monsters and bosses that are weak to the type, but I'm not sure if it's worth all the time and trouble to just keep IWing until you get 'Holy'.

I'm not one to answer on Amnesia shards and feathers, the cost is insignificant for me personally. I use feathers like I own the patent.

Well, yes, it's certainly easier to start with an elemental weapon (and probably cheaper, depending on how many times you reset vs. how many shards you use on your weapon in the long term). A lot of it depends on personal preference really, I don't use shards, I'd rather sell them for income (I don't get a daily income of hath, the only extra income I get besides the game is my commission uploads and I have to save that to download my porn >.<). Also, no burden is a necessity for my dual wielding. Burden really hurts your evade which is integral to my shade set-up, so all my OH weapons have to be ethereal. But for something like my estoc, it's more a project than anything, I'll spend as much time and money as it takes to make it come out the way I want it to (^^).

Oh, and you shouldn't congratulate me on my SS lv.5 & Butcher lv.4, lol (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . That was already predetermined because the weapon had all four PABs (which is one of the main reasons I bought it). The only mystery on that weapon is which one gets maxed out and what the elemental strike is.

hallowed might be better off than eth + holy strike, since you don't get the +holy edb (for emergency cures, assuming you ever need it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif))

If your intention is to only look at it from a Maxed POV, it's probably lots lots easier to just start w/ the elemental. other than that if it's you want to deal with the burden/ interference or not. But honestly this is the privilege of the lvl 300s+ with large bankrolls who can IWBTH legendaries easy come easy go.

Legendary Tempestuous Ebony Staff of Destruction (200 Rounds)

Cautiously optimistic.

Did another IW run on this: Legendary Hallowed Rapier Of The Nimble

SS 3 = Lovely! ^^

6 8 You gain 66359 EXP!

6 1 You crit Ouzai Berserker Mode for 22114 void damage.

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Hehe, dark strike, holy woulda been better, but this is still awesome (finally got an element that's good against schoolgirls). Fuck! Now if I just had my fourth turn it'd be perfect. Well, I'll hang onto this fucker and by the time I get to the late 300s I'll have a 25%/4 turn club. Gotta level my magnificent rapier next, hoping for holy or soul on that one (I want a different element on my off-hand to cover more monster's weaknesses). I'll be using my exquisite one with soul strike for the time being (which I've decided to keep, I'm too attached to it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ).

Magnificent Astral Rapier of Balance

Butcher lv. 3 & END lv. 1

I enjoy Item World since the patch.

18 4 Soul Strike hits Yuki Nagato for 3413 soul damage.
18 3 Your offhand hits Yuki Nagato for 8887 void damage.
18 2 Dark Strike hits Yuki Nagato for 9156 dark damage.
18 1 You hit Yuki Nagato for 15108 void damage.

Check it out, the dark strike on my club often does more damage against schoolgirls than the off-hand strike (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

I would be happy with 3 Butcher, 3 SS, and 3 END, and so I am. 3-3-3!
Now for a good Elemental strike. ^^
