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.

Yeah increased drop rate, or being able to buy fuse stones for ~25-50k gold would help sooo much to alleviate the tedious grind we are forced into. It's not like it would destroy the balance, as I see it. 50-75k for 50EP would be a nice choice for people who don't want to spend hours grinding, and still get decent progression.
Here's the thing. I lost my iphone today including my fairly good progress in K&D.
- Guild master in lvl 44 guild
- lvl 137
- Waiting for bk+ to arrive
- etc
Is there any way to retrive my game progress to my new iphone without my old lost iphone?
If its not Gree really should adress the matter!
Thanks for replies.
Snakeskin Armors give you 24 Enhancement Points if the elements of the armor you're enhancing is Water or Earth, or just 20 EP if it doens't match.
And yea it's best to use Common Armors until Level 10 and Uncommons until Level 14, so you're not wasting Snakeskins since it takes awhile to get the mats and craft them.
Then around Level 45-50 Snakeskins won't cut it anymore and you'll have to use fuse basics for 50 EP armors.
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!
U get 1ep per level from level 2 onwards
As you can see it takes less time to make the Level 11 Uncommons, but it takes more gold and yields less EP, not to mention its takes a lot more work on your part since you have to be constantly crafting, waiting, and enhancing.Quote:

Veloster,
I was about to tell you that Epic seems to give better drop rates of the better materials than Normal, but I re-tested my hypothesis on Skeleton's Tomb and got Snakeskin 5 times in a row on Normal! Last time it was Stone Slabs 5 times in a row on Normal! I guess my n was too low! :p
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%.
It also makes sense to me that the rate would be lower for the higher map stages, like you posted, but it's still the higher out of all the levels on Epic.
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.
If below 50, could be possible but they must have lots of money to be legit.
Did I ever mention I've gotten 5 Aegis all nonplus, maxed 3 and fused 2 away?

My question is, what is the best way for grinding xp. I'm currently level 72 and getting close to a level a day by just continuously doing honour runs at the citadel. I've tried doing valor runs of KoD but it doesn't seem as beneficial. So what is the best grind?
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.
I ran normal Citadel (migthy actually may be better, more earth mobs that hit softer and if you're one shotting everything anyway that's important); exp runs in higher difficulties in Citadel et al don't make as much sense as they did back in the first five zones: higher difficulties have increased number of elements, which usually cause more damage than the extra exp is worth.
I didn't pencil it out personally but I found that to be the case everywhere and simply assumed it held true in Citadel as well.
I didn't explicitly test in Citadel; however, in general grinding for exp in either normal or mighty produces better results as there won't be element mismatches if you choose your armor well. 3 elements in a stage make that impossible other than a few Boss mono-element armors and those at most can be worn by two knights, dual is by 3.
Hmm, since I haven't done any exp/hp ratio testing with those specific armors, try Cabellero Desert(normal) and Sunken Carrack(normal) with Boreas and SG. Also try Guardian's Crossing with Infernal. You'd have to find out which is the best.
I fixed an error in my post earlier. I wrote Guardian's Crossing instead of Sparkling Steppes.
If you really want to increase your leveling speed, don't use your friends with full HP knights. Use one friend with a low HP knight and clear the hardest stage you can(make sure you kill the boss!). I could go into specifics, but most people don't care about the details of exp/hp ratios :p.
Sure, I know what you mean. I leveled to 100 so quickly that I burnt out :(. I hate snakeskin farming with a vengeance and I can't bring myself to do it diligently anymore :(.
Most important concept for leveling is your experience/hp ratio for an entire stage(excluding crits/misses). 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 :(
Well, there's also the fact that 1 Snakeskin takes at least 4 farm rounds, while Stonescale takes 1 1/3 farm rounds. And that all those shards collected from Snakeskin farming can be applied to Stonescale_lvl11 (5 common earth and 3 common water) . I think I did about 1:4 Stonescale:Snakeskin runs. 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.
Thank you both for your answers. It looks like to me the combination of both technique is the best way for me. With 3 Lv2 smiths, I can create 3x lv11 Stonescale in about 70 minutes. 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 session
Does anybody know what the little shields are for in your guild?
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.
What level runs would you guys suggest for me for leveling quickly?
I am currently Level 80 and my armors are in my sig, I also have Phyrus non-plus at 35 too
