No. You would need really good friends. Even then it may be pretty hard. Having at least one 70+ armor like swamp+, infernal+ and dark prince+ would make it much easier.Quote:

If its not Gree really should adress the matter!
Thanks for replies.
How many EP each armor level gives you ? Is it an efficient use of gold to increase the level of armours before using them to level up the base armour ?Quote:

Now that I have beaten the Dark Prince I am working on finishing out quests. What is the drop rate of the boss mats? IE Wriggling Roots vs. Hydra Scales. I am farming for the roots but I keep getting the Hydra Scales. I am farming this on normal. Does it make a difference if I go on a higher level?
Do you still remember your friend code from the old account? That is the one piece of information you REALLY need to make a transfer. Besides that, you have everything else: friend code on new phone and MAC address of new phone. But you need your old account's friend code for them to be able to retrieve it. Good luck!Quote:

Still, even on Epic, the higher levels don't drop at 100%. For example, I think I got Wriggling Roots about 65-75% of the time on Epic and the rest of the time it was Hydra Scales. On Epic for Roc Feathers it was closer to 50-60% versus Shiny Shards. Again on Epic, Infernal Iron Chunks seemed to drop a bit more frequently (70-ish%). Unfortunately, I haven't kept track of it precisely, but those are my best estimates. The other caveat is that given my experience with the Misty Marsh, I've really stuck with making my runs on Epic, both for the (assumed) better drop rates and better experience points.
In a randomly generated sequence, streaks are likely :P Anyway, Epic does have the higher % drop rate, I've seen someone do hundreds of tries and he said that the drop rate of Snakeskins on Epic is around 90-95%.Quote:

What's the likely hood that a person with two aegis of the dragons (maxed or close to it) and a maxed epic armor is legit?
EDIT: They are also below level 50.
I played someone the other day who had 3 Combustion Armors.
That's Nahuy1997 or something. He posts hereQuote:

You can't unfortunately. Maybe they will change that in the future.Quote:

What armors do you have? Assuming the Big 4(and that you don't desperately need to grind for a specific material), the best places to train would be in the Haunted Citadel(normal or Epic) with HH+ and then a combination of Writhing Cascades(normal) with Crius+, Caballero Desert(normal) with AA+/Crius+, or Sparkling Steppes(normal) with LF+(the worst of all options). If you do the Haunted Citadel on Epic, only fight round 1.Quote:

Nah I went alternate to the Big 4 route, I am able to easily clear the first round of Citadel so should I just grind that? instead of doing all the rounds of valor? (which I do between 5-6 times a day)Quote:

Alright thanks, but a part of me wants to keep doing what I'm doing currently as I sort of enjoy just grinding for a short period of time. But it probably wouldn't hurt to give your suggestions a shot.Quote:

A good benchmark that I found was that Writhing Cascades(normal) with Crius+ gave me around 25 exp/hp, the best ratio until you reach Haunted Citadel which is ever-so-slightly higher. If you find the average exp/hp ratio for different areas, you can use your knights in such a way that you maximize the experience you can gain in 2-3 hours(because hp is the limiting factor). Simply put, the best way to increase that ratio is to make sure that enemies are not hitting you super-effectively(provided you can one-shot the regular mobs). So always avoid areas where you're being hit effectively.
Because of this, you don't want to use friends with your full HP knights since your friends can only be used once each(so use is the limiting factor, not hp). Due to this, you will use your friends in an area that likely hits your knights very hard and gives bad exp/hp ratios. So to minimize this effect, you use friends with a 20-hp knight in a zone where you can kill the boss(as this is the single largest source of experience).
Damn, that got a bit wordy, but I don't know how to shorten it. Sorry :(
Woah thats pretty intense! But cheers for that, I will definitely try and find the best ratios I can get. ThanksQuote:

It greatly helped me level Swamp+ and Infernal+ without using any fusion stones and with few 50 EP+ tournament winnings used. For DP+ I'll probably need some fusion stones, since the farm locations/elements are worse.Quote:

This is about how long my playing sessions usually last anyway. At the end of play session, I start 3x snakeskin armours and leave the game. I can use the combinations of Stonescale+snakeskin to enhance at the beginning of my next sessionQuote:

Hey all,
Been playing K&D for a couple of weeks, it's an addicting little game :)
I had a question regarding getting + versions of armor that is created via fusion. For instance, I've noticed that in the armor spreadsheet linked in the sticky thread above there is a Riverstone Mantle+ . It is my understanding that the Riverstone Mantel can only be created through fusing, so could someone tell me how the plus version is obtained? Thanks much.
Only thru dark prince chestsQuote:
