Yep...that's right.

I am very happy with my new character, so I just wanted to come here and say it.

Here is the SS:

ouch, how much did all the alchemy cost?

Baugar · Post by **Baugar** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 7:01 pm

The alchemy was quite expensive, actually. My armor is borrowed, and its owner and I have thrown a lot of INT Stones (Not to mention Wind 2 & Protector Elixirs :banghead:

) at this set. INT 4 on all armor pieces and shield, INT 2 or 3 on 3/4 ACC and INT 3 on Sword. I am still looking for a 5th Degree INT 2+ Earring & Ring.

I am currently farming at Blood Death Flowers with a 6 lvl Gap and I can easily 1 hit them w/out imbue, using only a 38+3 Sword (82% Mag Atk).

Anyway...I know this is nothing like posting about being lvl 64 with SoS +9 wep, but it felt like an accomplisment to me.

Now if I could just get a Stone of Strikes to suceed on my sword I would be content...5 failures so far. Heh...yet another...(208*5=1040), so 1040 Wind 2 down the tubes in alchemy.

Oh well...maybe next time. Thanks.

I enjoy farming flowers...and the money is good for this level...so far, in the past week of farming, I am averaging 6 items and 2 weapons per run, as well as, all the alchemy stuff we all know drops.

Most of them just go to NPC, but I have also gotten SoS and +2,+3 items, as well.

It is still fun for me right now, so I am going to try to stick to it. I have about 30k-50k more SP I want to farm before I move on, and I manage a little over 1k SP per session, so not too long.

I had 135% mag balance at lvl 16 farming at bandit camp.
Every item I had was INT and STR 100%.
As you level it becomes harder to maintain such a high balance.

135%...? If I could only get 110% by lvl 70..lol.

Did you go to 20 then delvl back to 16? That is about the only way I can think of your bal being that high. According to the researching I have done since you posted I have not been able to figure out any other way to get balance that high, even with 3 STR (100% for 3rd Degree) on every item and Acc...it still should not make the balance that high, unless you delvled.

Just curious...not trying to say you aren't telling the truth...just asking.

Thanks.

Howcome your sig says you're a str hybrid but in that pic u r pure int?

JianMin · Post by **JianMin** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 12:54 am

I would guess that matronyx did delvl back down from a higher lvl possibly even above lv 20. I just made a new farming char and lvl'ed her to lvl 25 then back down to 16 b/c I couldn't find a SoM bow. As you can see from the pic at the bottom, my balances are pretty insane. I 1 hit archers, usually, with a pimped out +5 sos 16 bow. Lvl'ing past 20 and delvl'ing back down to 16 w/ a sos bow is the cheapest way to do it if you want a pure int build. Hybrid int and 1:1s are a little harder but can be achieved with +str and +int. I have somewhere between 25-30 for both str and int on my gear.

I found out also that your damage is calculated by level. I knew that was the case for mp and hp though, not for dmg. At lvl 25 I could do around 350+ dmg on archers but for sure I could 1 hit them consistently. Now the dmg can go as low as 289 but usually around 320'ish, enough to hit archers for their total hp of 324.

But back on topic, at any other level, it's still impressive to see your mag balance that high. I know some of my guildies who are topped out at 112% and are spending so much money on alchemy, it's insane at high lvls.
