Hello to anyone reading this.

Now as you can see I'm wondering what lvl 3 tome would be good for a Arcane lvl 50 Veno, since I have enough tome fragments and mystical pages to make either one.

Both look good but I need to make one and stick with it until if I don't get lazy to make a lvl 5 tome.b:chuckle


A Poet's Musings that give 15+ magic or Adventures and Mishaps that give Magic+9, Vitality +8

JSome advice from the expert Veno guys even lowbie that have tomes I'm open to everyone opinion and facts.b:thanks

    The latter.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Depends on build.

    Pure Int build should go with the first. The first is also best for pve venos.

    Vit and Hybrid build should go with the second. It's also more pvp than the first, adding more vit.

    So really, it depends on your build and play style. I'd use the first, but that's just me. Of course, this is just an opinion. Pure Int could go with the second and vise versa.

    if you want more vit, go with vit. if you don't care for vit don't.
    it's up to you ;)
    I personally would go for the magic. since I have more then enough vit already.
    you should look at your playingstyle. and then look what tome will suit you best.

    Retribution Flame is what most for vit plus mag.

    +vit+mag on a pve/pvp veno ^^
    I'm pure, and the tome gives me a lot (O_O, just 6 on 30) vit points xD
    I think that a tome with only mag bonus is useless if u're pure.
    Btw, if u're hybrid or aa vit/la a tome with only magic is better.

    [just my philosophy.]

    At first I had thought of that too though in the end if you come to think of it, it's not as much of a bonus when considering the award bh gives u...

    I am a pure mag veno and went for the vit one since I seem to die too fast from random aggros I might accidentally get until I can run/fly away hahaha

    take the +9 / 7 one, vit is more useful that magic, especially one a caster.

    advice to fledgling archers:
    Going sage is like drunken sex, at first she may look good, but when you wake up the next morning; you'll look at her and go WHAT HAVE I DONE.

    Don't you get bored killing so slow and relying on HP to keep you alive?

    At level 50, if you've got 200 magic, a difference of 6 mag translates into:

    (1 + 206/100) / (1 + 200/100) = 1.02 = 2% more magic attack and some additional mdef.

    +8 vit translates into 96 hp.

    You probably have a ton of mdef so the little extra doesn't really matter. So the question boils down to, would you rather have 2% more magic attack (+15 mag), or 96 more hp (+9 mag +8 vit)?

    I'm guessing you probably only have about 1600 hp, so the 96 more hp will be about 6% more. So you can further boil it down to 2% more magic attack, or 6% more hp?

    The math seems sound, but it ignores that HP can come from refines, equips, imbues, etc. Faster killing = more coin = better equip options, and 80HP isn't hard to swing or probably even necessary for that level.

    Honestly, I'd go the +15 Mag. It's what I have equipped on my Veno ATM, and I love it. You don't really need the + MP regen tome, HOWEVER, you might consider a + HP regen tome, as most Venos don't really have any HP regen to speak of.

    If you're willing to consider a restat, then the Adventures and Mishaps is clearly better. It gives 17 points compared to only 15 from A Poet's Musings. If you really prefer to increase only magic, use Adventures and Mishaps plus restat 8 points from vitality into magic. You'll wind up with the same vitality and 2 more magic than if you used A Poet's Musings.
