Soul sapper and vampire are usually not worth it as they copy what just eating food does and food is in complete abundance, even something like a java ring would get you more than enough coffee to just sell to buy salads which would heal far more than soul sapper and vampire. It's smarter to use a more effective ring that has a benefit exclusive to it
Mind if I ‘Devil’s Advocate’ you a bit (Meaning of that is here), Gorilla? It’s a ring combo to have spare. I believe I brought up ‘Qi’s Hungry Challenge’ in my own post? Vampire might not be necessary, if you’re really good at dealing with Serpents, given the hearts that Purple Slimes sometimes throw, but you can always still get caught out. If you have a close brush with too many serpents, and land on a mummy floor, or a floor with tons of Slimes, then you’re guaranteed some health back, with the Vamp ring, rather than crossing your fingers on a Heart slime.
I'm a complete convert now. I swapped my Forged Iridium+Luck for a Burglar+Luck (keeping the Iridium+Slime Charmer) and if you thought Skull Cavern was fun before, well Fun just got a big DLC!
They have a single situational use in a single optional challenge. I mean sure
, you could also use staircases for that quest and turn it into a regular skull cavern run or you could just skip picking it entirely as it has a rather meager reward anyway.
To be honest it just fits the way I play. I probably wouldn't use it too much, but I like the idea of having that combination. :)
Fair enough, if it suits you that's totally valid, have fun!
I decided to go this route. What's the harm? I can forge and unforge anything I want!
Crit builds are ego boosts like nothing else
You ain't lying!
I just built one that crits for nearly 8000 damage at max and wow that feels like slicing a hot knife through butter, it's no joke how amazing that feels when you get crit after crit
How on earth did you forge anything with that much critical?
There are weird interactions with the new innate enchants. instead of increasing crit power, etc. additively, they increase it multiplicatively, affecting the already increased crit damage after the initial crit power affects it.
I had wondered if anyone else had used the vampire ring. I am not familiar with many of the rings mentioned. I'm pretty early in my secondly only real save and just combined my iridium band and vampire ring. I figured I'd keep my eyes out for two more rings to combine so the volcano isn't such a challenge. I don't care about the Skull Cavern since I'll be avoiding it until I'm trying to get 100% completion and am forced to go in there.
Can you reveal your secrets in more depth? So I have the at home mini forge will that work? Now what weapon and what gems and which enchantments?
Well I don't completely know the interactions but I know stats like speed and crit power have an affect where they apply after the regular crit power/speed has been calculated (henceforth them being multiplicative), this leads to say the 75 crit power innate enchant doing far far more than it should.
