Mawashimono cataloged Mawashimono's arsenal for all of Mawashimono's fans to admire. Is Mawashimono's arsenal the best in the game?

Swords

Acheron - ASI High
Acheron - VH vs. Gremlin
Barbarous Thorn Blade - VH vs. Fiend
Cold Iron Vanquisher - ASI High
Combuster - VH vs. Construct
Combuster - ASI Low, CTR Very High
Divine Avenger - ASI High
Divine Avenger - CTR High
Furious Flamberge - Medium vs. Beast
Gran Faust - ASI High
Gran Faust - VH vs. Slime
Gran Faust - VH vs. Gremlin
Leviathan - ASI Very High, CTR Low, Low vs. Fiend

Handguns

Argent Peacemaker - ASI Very High
Argent Peacemaker - VH vs. undead
Blitz Needle - VH vs. Fiend
Blitz Needle - VH vs. Beast
Polaris - VH vs. Construct
Sentenza - ASI medium
Sentenza - VH vs. Slime
Sentenza - VH vs. Gremlin

Bombs

Dark Briar Barrage - CTR Medium, Low vs. Construct
Dark Briar Barrage - VH vs. Gremlin

Helmets (all helmets have maximum UV)

Crown of the Fallen - Fire
Divine Veil - Shadow
Grey Feather Cowl - Elemental
Heavenly Iron - Cool Mohawk (My costume)
Nameless hat - Elemental
Skolver Cap - Normal
Skolver Cap - Poison
Snarbolax Cap - Normal
Valkyrie Helm - Normal
Vog Cub Cap - Normal

Armor (all armor have maximum UV)

Armor of the Fallen - Normal
Divine Mantle - Elemental, Low Poison
Grey Feather Mantle - Shock
Heavenly Iron Armor - Cool parrying Blade (costume)
Nameless Poncho - Normal High
Radiant Silvermail - Shadow
Skolver Coat - Shadow
Snarbolax Coat - Normal
Snarbolax Coat - Poison, Low Shadow
Valkyrie Mail - Normal
Vog Cub Coat - Normal

Shields

Barbarous Thorn - Max. Normal
Barbarous Thorn - Medium Shadow, High Freeze
Crest of Almire - Max. Normal, Low Shadow

I use the wolver sets the most often - Skolver for slimes and wolver levels, Snarbolax for fiends and undead, Vog Cub for gremlins and constructs, along with the specific weapons. I have loadouts designed for every kind of level using appropriate armor and weapons for the damage types and weakness of the monsters I'll encounter.

At least you got the most overused and overpowered items. Not sure if that's a good thing or not :/

So basically, ya looked up all the best gear on wiki, borrowed your mums credit card, bought a few mil crowns, and then went crazy? What is the point of this? To have every item in the game?

on the other hand

If we're being honest, the answer is: Yes, you have very good equipment --- probably in the top 1% of players in the game --- especially for its sheer quantity. Most of it is better than mine, for example.

Some of the choices are surprising. It's not clear why you would have three Sentenzas, instead of trying to get multiple UVs on a single Sentenza (or just not having a Sentenza).

In terms of quantity,

In terms of quantity, probably. In terms of the quality of the individual items then definately not, no dual maxes or dual very highs or even max/v.high + highs.

>.>

I note a distinct absence of bombs here... No Shivermist, AoA or Vortices?

Also, I don't get the point in having various of the same item with different UVs. Having swords in triplicate seems a bit redundant. I wouldn't have thought that gremlins were quite so hard to tackle that you would need a specialized UV to deal with them instead of the ASI you've got.

Haha, no.

Nope. Not even close imo compared to some of the other players.

I have multiple versions of the same weapon because i wanted them for specific monsters. For example, gremlins and slimes are both weak to shadow, so i got a gran faust with vh damage for each one of them. Sentenza is a very cool gun to me, and i wanted to do maximum damage with it with the specific UV's. It's not that I necessarily needed them, but it's fun to use the loadouts for each level, and I have to spend my money on something.

Oh, I bought $9.95 worth of ce in early May, and that's it. You can accumulate a lot of wealth over time by just playing, crafting, etc.

I used the third person for entertainment purposes (and, yes, slightly in parody), but I'm truly interested in what other "loaded" players have. Rangerwill?

How about this. Instead of winning "The best arsenal in the game", you win "Most money spent on the game that you will probably stop playing within the year". Sound good to everyone?

Edit: I saw that 9.95 thing after I posted, and I sincerely doubt it.

Honestly, any weapon without

Honestly, any weapon without a CTR or ASI UV is not that special. Anyone with a BTS and Skolver outfit basically overwrite damage UVs, and it looks like a lot of your weapons have damage UVs. You have Blitz Needles with damage bonuses versus Fiend and Beast; both of which easily dodge Blitz shots. A CTR Blitz is a lot more useful as it can be used to DPS Vanaduke.

So, bottom line, a lot of your items you have multiples of are useless, because damage UVs are not up to par with CTR or ASI ones.

Not saying this isn't impressive or anything, because it's a lot more than I have. If you've only spent $10 on this game, may I ask how many hours you have put in? I've put in around 450 since April and my inventory is nowhere near the size of this.

I mirror Trihelix on this

I mirror Trihelix on this one, concerning play time to get your equipment.

I've spent about $70 on this game and have comparable play time to Trihelix. I don't even have a fraction of what you have. (About 4 5* swords, 3 5* guns, 2 5* bombs, 2 5* helms, 3 5* armors, 1 5* shield, 8 5* trinkets)

I've probably amassed close to 10-15 million crowns in wealth throughout the game. You must either have some method to get lots of crowns via the market, be lying about only spending $10, be playing nearly constantly, or perhaps some friend quit the game and gave you a portion (or all) of what you have.

Juances

duh

best as in quantity, not in quality.
BTB with bonus? useless when you use snarby/skolver against fiends/beasts.
Same for flamberge and 2 fausts. I'll let combuster pass since constructs deal elemental and no armor gives bonus with that.

At least i can beat you on that :p

I think I've spent exactly

I think I've spent exactly $81 (2 $9.95 Rose deals, 7 Explorer Packs, 2 sets of 7500 Energy), and have probably accumulated a similar amount of crowns as Velcro. I have 2 5* Helms and Armors, 5 5* Swords, 3 5* Guns, 1 5* Shield, and 2 4* Trinkets. That is a total of 13 5* items, compared to your 49.

Total item crafting cost (figuring in the craft from 2-5*): 1,250CE
Total item recipe cost: 40,000CR (roughly 700CE)
Number of 5* items: 49
Total crafting cost: 700 * 49 + 1,250 * 49 = 34,000CE (Recipes) + 61,250CE (Crafting) = 94,250CE

That is a staggeringly high amount of CE amassed by a (almost) F2P. Those figures don't even include the ridiculous costs of VH UVs, which could very easily add several hundred-thousand per item. If you figured that in, you could very easily double the amount of CE spent.

I don't want to sound like I'm accusing you of lying, Mawashimono, but it seems extremely unlikely that you would've amassed this sort of arsenal on just $10 without thousands upon thousands of hours of play time.

Since you can only have 4

Since you can only have 4 weapons you dont really need much more than that. 2 swords, 1 handgun and 1 bomb is quite optimal

hi, again.
This is not a bragging thread. My purpose wasn't to show off how much I have for the $9.95 I spent. (A true fact, btw. I'll just have to take your skepticism as a compliment.)
Yes, I have spent probably thousands of hours of playing. And I play the market pretty well, also making the most of the 200 ce I get everyday (1 paid account, 1 free account). I know there are some people out there with loaded arsenas, although they may favor bombs or costumes or whatever.
I'm just interested in seeing if someone has a much better arsenal than this.

@Trihelix - I used to favor ASI and CTR weapons since I could not re-equip at each level. Now that we have loadout pads, I just find it more fun to use weapons that have UVs for and specifically play to the weakness of that level's monsters. It would be very interesting to compare the amount of damage or speed with which you can kill a monsters, comparing for example, ASI VH vs. CTR VH vs. VH dmg bonus UV.

Some.

Rubyeclipse, Levis, (I think he quit recently though) Subversion, and Mbcscp.
Can't think of any other ones atm, don't expect to get an answer from any of these fellows either, as they aren't braggarts.
And about the 10$ only, you're either seriously lying, or you got several super lucky UV's, or you've spent over 5000 hours on this game.
