Personally, I am a big DW fan. Of your two choices, if you are on the pc version, I would vote for two-handed swords and look for LL%.

I have a few questions regarding the Collect settings on the Gameplay menu. 1. What items are included in "Collect" and what items in "Collect Misc. Items"? 2. What is the difference between Normal and Everything? 3. Is there any known pattern to when or why those settings are ignored? TIA

With the consoles, I would have thought the difficulty in capturing images would be more of a problem than their resolution (which I thought was on par with the pc version).

Sorry for the bad advice Popcicle, I thought you were running PS3.

On PS3 the is no quest for the White Griffin so I am not sure why it was not there. For me, its de-buff makes the White Griffin more trouble than it is worth, so I normally just skip that mini-boss.

You will have to start a new Free World game every time. You can activate the nearby monolith to shorten the walk.

PC volume turned down or muted?

Well, I made level 16 yesterday, so I now have weapons and armor with slots. After filling the slots, things are not so bad. The Hypnosis mod for RP works wonders on most mobs. I did have to run for my life in the human territory from a werewolf champion and one of the demons in the class quest. In both cases Instill Belief worked wonders, until it wore off and I had to finish off my former slave. I ended up casting RP's and running in circles through the the pillars.

In my experience, at lower levels young dragons and bats reflect AW. At higher levels, it tends to hit those creatures, but I see the occasional reflect on other things. (I am sorry if this does not answer your question.)

Man, is this build way harder than a DW. I like it, but I am not sure I can keep her alive. I am throwing out Radiant Pillars and shooting like mad with a bow.

Whoops, sorry about that.

But wasn't the German version of 99 Luftballoons the one that hit the charts in the US?

I was a little reluctant to include things that I could not personally swear to. I will go back and try to include highlights from this thread.

I have edited the wiki page. It was actually scary how easy it was.

"others are better"? Do you mean other weapons? I am a fan of the Officer's Saber. The 4 gold slots can be a problem though. That puts a lot of bonuses in one item, and you will lose 3 of those if you have to break the sword.

Is it that simple? No background checks, no fingerprinting, no vaccinations...

The Orc Cave having the smallest SD is not a surprise, since the enemy type and frequency are always the same. With the other areas, the enemy types vary (some being more XP efficient, while others less) and so does the frequency you encounter then. Thanks for running the numbers. I am going to get back to plain old leveling, without keeping score.

That's prolly cause the author of said page is definitely not a console player. Is there any way to get the page changed?

I understand that to mean that LL does nothing (healing or damage) unless your character is injured. What does everyone else think? Not the case at all. LL does damage with every successful hit. However only heals with a successful hit if your characters health falls below 100%. additionally my experience on XBOX and PC would suggest the 1/1000 calculation error is accurate. And it is not a display error, its an actually calculation error. Same for the chance to find valuables calculation given for map revealed. That doesn't calculate correctly on Console either. My experience agrees with yours, it just sounds to me like the wiki says something different, and the wiki does not even mention the console bug.

I am afraid cannot help (the whole cross-platform thing), other than to give this advice: Stop holding out and find anything better than a L20 Officer's Saber.

I was just now reading the LL page over on the wiki and saw this: I understand that to mean that LL does nothing (healing or damage) unless your character is injured. What does everyone else think?

AFAIK, the only issue with energy shields on the console version is the missing energy indicator. (Based on my Seraphim experience)

ZardoZsays, I thought about that. With my uber Divine Protection I would have no problem hanging out with the orcs until the spider bodies disappeared, but I am not sure other people would be as keen on the idea. Mystix123, I will try tapping the PS button and see if that makes a difference.

Nice! I always find that when I finally get to the 7 or 8 pieces of a set, one or two of them are out-dated and I still have to continue looking for updates. Evil, evil game, it is. I am sure that some of my pieces are out of date, but I will not start worrying about that until I have a full set.

Here are a couple of more data rows: Jungle: 4088736 4282400 Orc Cave: 4345056 4132576 Swamp: 4120192 3931040 I have started rotating the order of the areas, so that the same area is not always first/last. I am once again using PS exclusively. I have come back to the idea that the AW/SH combo is a waste of time. I was able to clear the Orc Cave one time in 14 sec, but I do not think it is possible for me to routinely clear it in under 15 sec. All too often, the spiders get in the way, my character decides not to do anything, or an orc or two wander off into opposite corners and must be chased down. I am working on streamlining my leveling by doing a few things: Eliminate unnecessary movement Do not stray too far for single enemies (excluding champions) Pick of mob drops during combat (it does not affect my attacks) Anticipate the last enemy's death and be moving before the body hits the ground. As soon as I start moving, then I hit the trigger to pick up the last of the loot. On a personal note, I found one of the last two set pieces that I am looking for. I now have 8 pieces of the Celestial set that I have been looking for since silver.
