hi all!
i just brought the starter kit wich gave me 7500 CE.
i'm not shure how is the best way to use it to improve my equip.
is best to sell energy to get crown, and then buy equip made by other, or is better to aim to build stuff buing recipe an materials?
atm i've got 2* equip and i like to get directly 4* equip.
sry if it's unclear but i'm not english^^
if you create you own equip, you can get UVs (improvements), if you are lucky.
dont just buy it, it destroys your fun.
don't use the CE to go down in dungeons/powering on robots/opening boss doors....
Use CE ONLY ON CRAFTING, leveling 1 piece from tier 2 to tier 5 costs around 1,450 CE in energy alone...
Use mist energy for going down elevators, and i know this usually cant be helped, but try not to die, and if you die, ask someone to give you 1/3 their HP to res, and save your energy.
Try to figure out what set, and main weapons you want to level early, and stick to them, also research your choices.
I made the mistake of leveling multiple armor sets, and weapons, and now am at 1/2 of the starter pack CE :(
thanks! for the armor, i've already chosen what to make ^^ i'm going to be full bombs so i'm aiming for a mad bomber set.
i've also choos wich boms make.
for the UV... is also better to craft tons of 1* bomb to get the right UV, or in this case, buyng a UV 1* woud be cheaper? how hoften UV happens?
For dungeons and such, use Mist Energy AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Actually, for everything, use Mist Energy AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. (Unless it maybe is a level where you can get an amount of crowns that you can buy energy with so that you have a net gain in energy overall.)
Pure bomb is difficult because there are many situations where its easier to have a sword with you (breaking blocks is one of them, killing a single lone enemy is another) I would recommend carrying a calibur with you for bombing.
jelly king palace levels 15 and 16 are very profitable, and easy to bomb in. Currently the trip to JKP will put you up against dangerous alpha wolvers though, so be prepared.
A 4* fire bomb should be your first investment. It will let you rip through JKP easily and efficiently, and is also good for arenas.
Once you can solo JKP you can easily make back the CE you spend going there and then some with just the cash drops, sell the materials and its very profitable
Use the AH to buy two pieces of low fire UV spiral bomber. The reason for this is because if you upgrade this to one piece of mad bomber (armor) and one pierce of volcanic demo (helmet) the twin low UVs will be 'enough' fire resist to counter the one piece of mad bomber (ignore what the resist bar says, it lies). More is wasted. This will give you VH CTR and med damage boost, allowing you to capitalize on high or very high UV damage bonuses on your bombs with out waste.
Damage bonuses on haze bombs only effect the elemental 'blast', not the status effect damage, So getting a high damge bonus to construct or undead (or maybe slime) is a reasonable proposition, but worrying about damage against elemental resistant things is pointless. The good news is a high damage bonus UV haze bomb is only like, ~10k crowns, which is very affordable.
Once you have your 4* fire bomb and 3* other gear you can easily farm JKP. From there you can work on upgrading everything to 4*. Then start colecting other bomb types, and upgrade stuff to 5*, and you are all good and nice and shiny.
Try to remain CE neutral if possible, spend some of the money you make from each run buying the CE back, though you have a nice buffer to work with its a good practice to get into, and CE prices are only going to go up so CE bought today is money saved tomorrow.
Since you bought CE on that account, you can also run another 'free' account now, as its mist energy store will be unlinked from your own. This gives you a crafting alt on the other account that will generate 100 mist energy every 22 hours. Thats 10 haze bomb attempts. CTR on bombs is no good for 'bombers', but non bombers find high/vh ctr haze bombs very desirable since it lets them have a shivermist as a backup weapon, so you craft to sell those (VH are worth quite a bit, auction them in the bazaar forum). Any high or VH UV damage bombs you get you can use for your own collection or sell (150CE for highs, ~500CE for VH, those are the prices i use. I only bother selling construct undead and slime UVs though, the rest i just vendor)
thank so much^^ i already got the 4* fiery vaporizer and i'm looking to the armor now.
the last advice i need is: is the owlite line of shields good with this equip?
thank so much! im a little less noob now !
The Owlite line is always good since it gives Elemental defense and Fire resist which you'll want for tier 3.
I hate to say it because I dont really like the way owlite looks, but owlite is pretty much the best shield line in the game. Other lines can only compete if they get a good UV, and even then an owlite with an equivalently good UV is usually better.
The reason its good is because its the best shield for defending against gunpuppies, and while thats not all a shield is good for, its all that you need a 'good' shield for, as any old shield will work for the other shield related stuff, and no shield will turn you into a tank against anything, other than owlite will let you tank gun puppies, so the other shields with other defensive types wont help you enough against those things to be worth bothering with.
Bombers use shields least of any other type of character, so you could get away with a shield for looks, but even then gunpuppies are the one thing that bombers are worst against, so having a shield that specifically is awesome against them is a good idea.
The heater shield is an alternative, its a little bit better in its base defensive capabilities than owlite but it trades the two best status defenses for a less important one.
I really want a shield costume slot =(
I would say: Don't be in a rush to use your CE, you will regret it. Using crowns to buy cheap 2* equipment from the Auction House might be ok, though, so that you can quickly try out different weapons/styles. Once you have a good idea what you like, you can try to make your own High-Quality items with your Crystal Energy.
Any 2* item listed at 2,000 crowns or less is a good deal, but that doesn't mean you should buy every 2* item because you will go broke this way.
thaks for the feed back
atm i've goa a firey vaporizer 4*, fused demo suit &helm 3* with UV minor fire res, owlite shield 2*
i did mi solo run at jk, starting from floor 8. the first stratum was a pice of cake. the actual jelly stratum was challenging but not impossible. i reached the jk floor dyng only once. at te king the disaster :P
i summoned mi mech knight, precast the firey and started.
i got cornered and killed. without a sword to break the briks it's impossible i think :P also i didn't managed to trigger the holografic block with bombs. i usualy use them with no problem, exept in jk room. is it a bug? or i'm missing something?
i'm starting to get the mecanics of use energy to go dungeoning and then rebuy energy back with the income of the run! endles gameplay! weeeee XD
i've got a list of useful materials for my equip. now shoul'd i sell unwonted ones or i should keep them for the future?
thk again to all!
It's cheaper. More fun and definitely more worth it than buying one.
