Travelers of Eluna

For $240K I don't want to risk finding out. I'm mainly curious as to how I'll (or anyone) can tell if the higher price equip/weapons are worth purchasing? Are the specs poor? The req. (like radiance) unreasonable? No real effect in-game from others?

Thanks...and thanks for the advice given so far in the game guys

Hey Brock! I believe that the helm is actually 280k. Which doesn't help.

Personally, I don't think it's worth it. The helm costs a lot, requires you to put points into radiance, and better headgear will become available soon, especially since Nils quit his job. Plus, those radiance points could be going into something useful, like endurance.

I was lucky enough to have it gifted to me from a fellow ToE head (thanks Penny!). I really wanted to try it out. I would have bought it if it wasn't gifted, and I would buy it again. I had been wearing the velvet party hat previously. When I received it by mail the spec read something about being a level 1 Glorious Helm -- implying there will be higher levels. It doesn't say anything about a level in the inventory description.

After using it for awhile now, I really enjoy it and find it beneficial -- but not game changing.

Now here's my specs ATM if that helps you decide how it will work for you:
Level 17 male Toran Priest
C:1
E:3
F:6
I:4
K:20
R:8
S:3
V:4
W:2

Gear:
Twilight Slasher
Woodsman Armor
Glorious Helmet
Gloves of Divinity

This gives me a grand total of 15 Armor which in practice means only about 7 points don't hit me. Seems like I saw Nils say something about armor dividing by 2 -- which makes no sense to me, but it is what it is.

This config gives me 120 magic points. Now as a priest with smite (20 points a pop) and heal (50 a pop) I used to heal on the round before expecting I'd kill a creep. That was virtually every creep because I didn't know when I'd hit an Angel of Fire to hand me my ass.

Now with the Twilight Slasher I find it gives me 1-5 leeched HP per round (including first and last). This isn't very noteworthy up against guys that hit 30+, but with the helm (and other armor) saving me 7HP and the leech adding a few I find that I'm surviving muchof what would have been death blow attacks. This config has allowed me to not heal unless my HP is in the low teens (every 3-4 creeps) with reasonable confidence of surviving an angel.

It's for a different thread, but the Slasher does seem to leech more when I am low as opposed to high. It doesn't help keep me healthy as I typically get 1point at high health. Once I fall below the 1/4-1/3 mark however I get 4-5 regularly. Annoying, but probably a balance thing.

The Subject? That can be typed in. ^ ^
