Wall of text incoming (I'm putting my post from Aeria on here as well.). Maybe useful for first timer maybe not~

i) Not that ppl dont wanna sell it, mostly they shout in trade channel or stall at Navea (stall area) due to the taxes in AH too taxing (if you're poorfag seller) & low drop rate. Lvl 60 recipe is pretty expensive so it's best to self hunt via grind on Otherworld Mode dungeon like Helonia, Miners Steppe, etc... Not sure about regular Hell Mode though. Current Dungeon Entry UI have list of boss you will encounter together with their skills & drops on each mode. You can check it out through there.

As for World boss, lots of useless junk. Most people hunt 'em mainly for costumes and they die like... less than 5secs LOL (Pray RNGesus for this one)

ii) There are 2 types as far as I remember. One is Worn Out Card, another is Enchanted Card
Enchanted Card = an End Card that you can slot into the respective costumes without needing additional stuff (refer card description) This type of card have 2 types.
- Dungeon/Chests Dropped Card have 1 stats,
- Fusioned Enchanted Card (Fused from Worn Out Card) have 2 stats.

Worn Out Card = A fuse Card to get a Fusioned Enchanted Card with additional stats, Where you need an "Advanced (respective card. right click Worn Out Card for ref.) Enchantment" and 5 Ancient Eido Fragment. But prior to this step, you need:

1 Fusion scroll & 5 (respective body part cash item card) Enchantment to get the
"Advanced (respective card. right click Worn Out Card for ref.) Enchantment"

So in terms of best card : Fusioned Card > Dungeon/Chests Dropped Card. So if you're extremely rich or RNGesus shines upon you or both, Worn Out Card will be your best option. There has been an interesting talks circulating in-game that there is a chances to get the Enchanted Card (that have 2 stats) from Dungeon/Chests, but I have yet to see any proof of this.

iii) They do, especially SkyTower. 4F onwards if you have less than 4~5 party groups. Don't bother.

Infernal Abyss = Race against the clock & reach as deep as possible. More chance to get Zaahir's Key/Key Frag. Recommend to equip Flame elemental armor if you enter this dungeon.

SkyTower = Reach as high as possible with 40 ppl in the group. Floor progress of the group is saved for 2 days & will be reset every next week (it supposed to work this way). So there's no need to actually rush for the current released content of amount of Floor.

Hopefully. There's a slot, lack of Range DPS at the moment. Due to my current state, I mostly online after 10pm for 4 days every week and tonight is one of the night. Cc:Coldf3ar for invitation.

PortSkandia contain most info that you need (here)

Not forgot to mention a "Range" one at that

For Stats from PvE perspective:-

Offense Stats:-
Speed = 1st option (since faster cd = more dmg to dish out between cd gap) Don't really need to spend all points to it, maintain its % at around 40~45% (maybe lower) from points, masteries & EQ as you will able to get the cap with all SPD related buff from other respective classes and from food/drinks.
DMG = 2nd option (refer the quote below that I've taken from someone's guide that I saw 3 weeks ago.)
Critical = 3rd option (self explanatory).
In other words, If players have "-Crit Dmg Taken", so does the Mob/Boss. If you do cap your SPD, PROBABILITY of putting some point on crit might even worse than full crit. Might as well put it on DMG.


Defensive Stats -
Full HP (survivability & reduce possible OHKO)
Cap Def (survivability & reduce possible OHKO. Scaling % however lower than HP & effectiveness reduced significantly when facing very high leveled monster/boss)
Mix Def & HP (refer above & decide)
Cap EVA (not recommend for PvE - let it add through EQ in flow)

While at it, get some "+Hp %" that comes together "-Dmg Taken %" secret stones or costumes in preparation for far future content if you're not rich enough to keep changing items

That crit dmg bonus is like a delicious side dish already. Note the Stats & SPD cap within the sentence mentioned. Investing stats points on Crit varies depends on class or players preference/choice. A certain class I know of were able to maximize the benefit of Crit.

Crit dmg boost shines most when facing the equivalent level of mob/boss of yours + full crit together with envoy, foods etc.
You won't be able to maximize Crit DMG benefit if you can't crit often, Hence the Crit Rate on stats.

But the reality of the current end content where the mob/boss level is over 10 times higher which makes them less effective, so you get the idea. Not that it matters anyway, we all still invest on Crit for the damage we inflicting.

All stuff that I mentioned are just for reference so that you can know what you gonna expect at current or future end content. The build decision still lies on your end.

P.S: I still invest points stats on Crit after I cap my SPD.

Yup, as long as the base above 50%, Crit is the best to invest. Not sure about minimum crit dmg thing. What i do notice is most dps don't really invest much on Crit stats. Once get enough base rate, they shove everything on dmg stats for even more juice.
As for Spd, only best for skill that have very long cd. DPS no need to invest this if skill cd doesn't hinder your skill rotation. As for Bard, no need to invest all on it as you can already cap it through buffs. My gunner have some problem spamming the rotation of 3 long range maneuverable skills atm due to cd, have to get some SPD at least maybe 10~15%? to get the rotation speed I want then reset it at higher level.

You can jump cast, but that will waste a little bit of your input time. If the AoE skill dmg point is much higher than single target skill like fireball and the skill cd is close to where you can spam it in rotation I won't bother using those single target skill Then again Masteries play some role as well. Oh yea, try add in IcyCurse to your rotation for its DoT if you afraid of skill rooting, cast after you avoid boss skill

As for eido accs. They do. well, in a way due to the Buff you get when you summoned your eidolon until you dismiss 'em.

okay.jpg

Because eva doesn't really work on PvE bosses with high accuracy which makes eva kinda ineffective. If you're into PvP then eva maybe a good option but then again Warbow class will RiP your eva if you ever face them

Just as per LostWanderer said, so... try get above 50% def or cap it if you can first... get some +hp + -dmg secret stone while at it.

My PC kaput as well... hiatus until getting it sorted out.

#posting from ancient lappy

just trial & error & stick to wadever suit you best. Just note that on PvE, eva works nice if the content is not very high above your lvl.
