[[Image:Renaming Petition.png|thumb|An example of a gallery renaming petition that has successfully changed the name of a gallery.]]

Renaming allows users besides the gallery uploader to change the name of [[E-Hentai_User_Gallery_System|a user uploaded gallery]]. Typically this makes the gallery easier to identify or find via searches.

==Process==
*Renaming normally occurs once a petition reaches 100% power. A user's vote is equal to their [[mod power]]. Votes can exceed 100% power (and can continue indefinitely) but this is largely unnecessary.
*If multiple petitions exist past 100% power, the one with the highest percentage will take priority.
**For this reason votes are blocked if a petition option is already above 100%, unless there are other alternatives with higher percentages.
*Users may choose to withdraw or change their vote on a petition at any time. Withdrawing votes can cause a gallery to revert to its original name if no names on the petition are past 99% power.
*Petitions left incomplete for more than 7 days are automatically purged.
*Petition options with 0 votes are automatically removed to avoid clutter.

==Naming Style==
The basic style is as follows:<br>
'''(Convention Name) [Circle Names (Artist Names)] Title (Parody Names) [Language] [Translators] [Special Indications]'''

===Example===
:'''R =''' (C71) [Gambler Club (Kousaka Jun)] Mahora Gakuen TyuuToubo 3-A (Mahou Sensei Negima!) [English] [SaHa] [Decensored]
:'''J =''' (C71) [ギャンブラー倶楽部 (香坂純)] MAHORAGAKUEN TYÛTÔBO 3-A (魔法先生ネギま！) [英訳] [無修正]

==Anatomy of A Gallery Name==
'''Multiple entries in any portion must be separated with commas.'''

;Convention name
:The convention name where the work was sold. Preferred by their shorthand ([[#Formatting|see below]]).
;Circle name(s)
:The group name that the artist works under. Some artists work under multiple circles or can change which ones they work for at any time. Thus, users should not assume that knowing the artist name means they automatically know the circle name (and vice-versa).
;Artist name(s)
:Writer names are also expected here though they should not be [[tagged]].
;Title
:May include its translation after a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_bar vertical bar] if the work is translated (e.g. ''Nurse wo Kanojo ni Suru Houhou | How to Go Steady with a Nurse'').
;Parody name(s)
:Names of the series being parodied. Most common in Doujinshi galleries. Preferred the same as how they are tagged, with a few exceptions (e.g. ''Ranma 1/2'' is preferred even though it is tagged as ''[[ranma 12]]''). If the Japanese name is better known, use ''(Japanese Name [English Name])''. English names are best checked using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia].
;[[:Category:Language_Tag|Language]]
:Must be the language name's equivalent in English (e.g. ''Spanish'', ''German''). Thai and Vietnamese must include their in-language equivalents (''[Thai ภาษาไทย]'' and ''[Vietnamese Tiếng Việt]'').
;Translator(s)
:Can also be in {curly braces} or with no braces. They are preferred how the translator writes them (such as on their archive files). Not needed in the Japanese name.
;Special indication(s)
:Decensored, Colorized, Incomplete, Digital, Textless, etc.

==Usage==
*Only known and applicable information should be used. Any unconfirmed information should just be left out. New rename petitions can be put in to amend any missing information.
*Unlike tags, names allow for all symbols
**Symbols such as "☆" are mandatory for the Japanese name but are optional for the Romanized name.
*If the any of the creator/parody names exceed 3, it is preferred to state ''Various'' instead.
**[[Anthologies]] like Comic Megastore need no indication of any creators.
***Likewise, stand-alone anthologies should simply be "[Anthology] ''Title''".
***If the title didn't come with ''Manga'' or ''Comic'' for a magazine, use the "[Anthology]" prefix instead.
*Languages should only be indicated for translated/rewritten works or wherever such languages would not be expected.
**e.g. "Japanese" is not needed because it is the default language
*A space should exist between "Vol." / "Ch." and the number.
*Leading zeros are best left out whenever possible; e.g. ''Ch. 7'' not ''Ch. 07'', ''COMIC1☆3'' not ''COMIC1☆03''.
*If the romaji is obviously "spelling" out an English word, then use the correct English word instead of the romaji version of it; e.g. シスター (shisutaa) is fixed to "sister", ラブ (rabu) to "love".
**Shortened or "clipped" English stays as is.
*Any chapter collection should include the chapter numbers, except complete ones.
*Use Proper Case whenever capitalization isn't otherwise specified.
*Use hyphens for any sub-titles unless otherwise specified.
*Kanji representing numbers should be romanized as words, not as numbers; e.g. ''九'' is ''kyuu'' not ''9''.
*Translator group names take priority over individual member names<sup>[http://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?s=&showtopic=21476&view=findpost&p=1963133 (Ref)]</sup>
*It is recommended not to rename galleries simply to correct minor mistakes in their formatting (e.g. wrong brackets used). Spelling mistakes however, should be corrected if they are serious.

<div id="Do Not"></div>
==Do '''NOT'''==
*Use "同人誌", "同人CG集", "同人ソフトCG", "同人ゲームCG", "アダルトコミック", "エロ", "コスプレ", "成年コミック", "非エロ", or "総集編"; these are all redundant / irrelevant.
*Use "Complete", "End", or any other variants to indicate the end of a series or its completeness.
*Use "Original" or "オリジナル" as a parody. This is already assumed for any gallery without a parody indicator.
*Use "Raw" as a language. This is already assumed for any gallery without a language indicator.
*Use publisher or website names unless no other creator names can be associated with the work. Some exceptions apply.
*Put the date in any brackets if it's part of the name; e.g. "Comic Megastore 2011-10" not "Comic Megastore [2011-10]".
*Use the gallery name to describe the gallery's contents unless the gallery has no possible formal title, the name is pejorative, or is very misleading.
*Include a translated title in the Romanized portion if the gallery is not in that language.
*Indicate the quality of the work in any fashion; e.g. "Version 2", "Hi-Res", "High Quality", "300 DPI", etc.
*Use convention indicators for Digital releases.
*Use alternative alphabetic characters for Romanized letters; e.g. "Nudism Zone" not "ＮｕｄｉｓｍＺｏｎｅ".
*Use the Digital indicator for CG sets as it is redundant.

*Use "(Original)" as a parody name to indicate a non-parody work. It is assumed that all gallery names without a parody included are using original characters.
*Use publisher or website names unless no other creator names can be associated with the work. Some exceptions apply.
*Put the date in any brackets if it's part of the name; e.g. "Comic Megastore 2011-10" not "Comic Megastore [2011-10]".
*Use the gallery name to describe the gallery's contents unless the gallery has no possible formal title and the name is not pejorative or very misleading.
*Include a translated title in the Romanized portion if the gallery is not in that language.
*Indicate the quality of the work in any fashion; e.g. "Version 2", "High Quality", "300 DPI", etc.

HentaiVerse Advice

2013-01-20T21:48:55Z

Fishinsea: /* Training */

''This page is for general HentaiVerse advice.''

==Very Important [[HentaiVerse_Hotkeys|Hotkey]]!==
'''If you want to get an [[equipment]]'s link, mouse over it and press 'c'.'''
*Don't leave your Caps Lock on and enable popups for your browser.

==Pre-Level 50==
Keep [[stats]] balanced, do not invest in a build unless you are certain. Determine which play style you think best suits you.

'''[[#Mage|Mages]]''': [[Weapon]] should be Ebony/Redwood staff of Focus. Armor choice should be "of the Elementalist".

'''[[#Melee|Melees]]''': Weapon should be "of Balance" if you have problem with accuracy. You can use "of Slaughter" on main-hand if you're using [[Fighting_Styles#Dual_Wielding|Dual-Wield]]/[[Fighting_Styles#One-Handed|One-Handed]].

==Picking Your Role==
(See [[Play Styles]] and [[Fighting Styles]])

It's generally not recommended to pursue both paths before lv. 250 as you don't have sufficient ability points to cover both the necessary offensive spells (for maging) and overcharge (for meleeing).

===Mage===
*Use cloth armor and staffs only.
*Can cast spells of every [[damage type]] except [[Void]].
*Can cast AoE spells which can hit every monster on the field.
*Can take advantage of [[Spells#Status_Effects|elemental explosions]].
*Are most vulnerable to attacks.
*Do not need to deal with [[interference]].

===Melee===
====Light Armor====
*Medium mitigation, burden and interference.
*Have variance which increase mitigation (kevlar armor) and evade/attack damage/remove burden (shade armor).

====Heavy Armor====
*Highest mitigation, but also more burden and interference.
*Have variance which increase block chance (shield armor) and attack damage (power armor).
*Play style: use spell Protection all time

====1H====
*Can use [[shields]] for extra block chance but have to deal with more burden and interference.
*Can further boost block chance via Shield armor.
*Overwhelming Strike to increase damage, accuracy and parry chance.

====DW====
*Highest damage vs. single targets. Good for high [[difficulty]] [[Ring of Blood]] and legendary [[Arenas]].
*Can take advantage of 2 [[Equipment Procs|procs]] (e.g. stun and penetrated armor) with offhand strikes.
*The final [[fighting skill]] can hit multiple targets.

====2H====
*Domino strike have chance to hit multiple targets.
**Thus, easiest to apply procs on multiple monsters.

====Niten====
*Usable only by equiping katana in mainhand and wakizashi in offhand.
*Have partial benefits from 2H and DW.
**Domino strike limited to 5 monsters.
**Offhand damage but no parry bonus.
*For very new players (below lv. 100) or advanced (above Lv. 300) players only.
**It won't give any weapon proficiency and can hit at most 5 targets.

==Best Use of [[Stamina]]==
'''[[Leveling]]''': [[Random Encounter]], [[Grindfest]], post-Lv220 [[Arena]]s

'''[[Credits]]''': [[Arena]], [[Grindfest]] (With crystal [[Hath Perks]] and ability to play tons of rounds)

'''[[Items]]/[[Equips]]''': [[Grindfest]], [[Item World]], [[Arena]], [[Ring of Blood]]

==Regardless of Build==
The following are universal regardless of whether you choose a melee or a mage build.

===[[Abilities]]===
*'''Top priority''' goes toward all HP tanks followed by [[Item]] Slots, then MP tanks.
*Invest in [[EXP]] tanks after a fair amount of Adept Learner [[training]].
*Invest in a few scroll slots and one infusion slot if you need them in regular strategy.
*Invest into SP tanks and [[overcharge]] boosts only if you're melee or level 200+.
*Elemental resistances should have the lowest priority.

| align="left"| Evens out the HP recovery. It can replenish more health (in total) than Cure when you have more curative proficiency.
|- align="center"
| Imperil || Deprecating || 70
| align="left"| Useful for both mages and melees to deal more damage. Won't stack with [[Equipment Procs|PA]] though.
|- align="center"
| Spark of Life || Supportive || 100
| align="left"| Essential as to prevent defeats in any [[difficulty]].
|- align="center"
| Silence || Deprecating || 110
| align="left"| Effectively shut down monsters' MP/SP attacks. Especially useful against [[Ring of Blood]] monsters.
|- align="center"
| Arcane Focus || Supportive || 130
| align="left"| High-cost spell to boost magical damage. Usually cast with [[Fighting Styles#Any|channeling]] due to its cost.
|- align="center"
| Regen2 || Curative || 150
| align="left"| More powerful version of Regen. Longer duration and recovers more. Avoid casting it at the start of rounds as it has a longer cast time.
|- align="center"
| Heartseeker || Supportive || 170
| align="left"| High-cost spell to boost physical damage. Usually cast with [[Fighting Styles#Any|channeling]] due to its cost.
|- align="center"

| align="left"| SP-saving compared to spark, and stays when it's activated. It won't prevent death though.
|- align="center"
!colspan = "4" | Optional Spells
|- align="center"
| Poison || Deprecating || 1
| align="left"| Lowers monsters' MP/SP regen rate, deals damage, and lowers their evade. Unfortunately the effect isn't powerful compared to specific spells like Weaken and Imperil.
|- align="center"

| align="left"| A good spell to slow down monsters, which means lower damage. Unfortunately it has the lowest duration.
|- align="center"
| Blind || Deprecating || 80
| align="left"| Lowers monsters' hit chance. Unfortunately not that useful compared to Silence, Weaken, and Imperil.

|- align="center"
| Confuse || Deprecating || 60
| align="left"| Worse than Sleep.
|- align="center"
| Absorb || Supportive || 90
| align="left"| Most of the time it won't activate. Fairly useful for level 220+ [[arenas]] and [[gods]], as there are more monsters which can use magical attacks.
|- align="center"
| Spike spells || Supportive || 110+
| align="left"| Can proc [[Spells#Status_Effects|elemental status effects]] but otherwise deals very low damage. Only useful for grinding Supportive [[proficiency]]; only 1 is needed.
|- align="center"
| Nerf || Supportive || 150
| align="left"| Cost more than Weaken and does not stop crits.
|- align="center"
| Cure III || Curatice || 200
| align="left"| There's no chance you need that much HP.
|- align="center"
| Lifestream || Deprecating || 250
| align="left"| HP recovered is simply insufficient.
|}

===[[Auras]]===
*To utilize the Auras you're about to get through level 1-60 it's advisable to not release any auras that breaks from your primary build (Melee/Mage). By level 60 you'll end up with a maximum Rank Aura equal to 2 when Focus Aura I is unlocked; you can then spend 6 Aura points on your primary build's auras.

==Mage Builds==
*EDB-suffix or Destruction staff. High MDB or EDB for the elements you use.
**Preferably ebony if using elemental spells, katalox if using holy/dark spells
**oak if you primarily use holy spells
**redwood as a cheap alternative for new players
**MDB > EDB = Prof. Proc chance and duration preferably be 30-40%, 2-3 effective turns. The use of EDB/prof depends on the amount of EDB bonus you have.

*Phase gear of the element you use.
**proficiency gossamers (demon-fiend, heaven-sent, elementalists) can be used when you have insufficient fund, but that is not recommended as you get more offensive proficiency from your character.
**EDB > PAB = evade in general situation;
***AGI is the preferred additional PAB.

===Mage Stats===
(Does not include stats from [[equipment]])

{|class="wikitable"
!Stat
!Equal to
!Priority
|-
|STR || Level * ~0.85 || Low
|-
|DEX || Level * ~0.85 || Low
|-
|AGI || Level + a bit || Mid-high
|-
|END || Level || Mid
|-
|INT || Level + a bit || High
|-
|WIS || Level + a bit || High
|}

===Mage Spells===
*Get at least 2 kinds of elemental AoEs before level 100
*Start getting Holy/Dark spells past level 150
**Soul harvest is not a priority till you're level 250+ (unless you need to fight RL with soul harvest)
**Soul fire/burst at level 250 to replace elemental spells (for non-elemental spell users against bosses)

===Mage [[Auras]]===
*Major: Violet, Indigo, Blue
*Minor: Green, Yellow
*Unimportant: Red , Orange

==Melee Builds==
*2-Handed mace/estoc "of Slaughter". High ADB and proc chance/duration.
**Ethereal mace/estoc at high level.
*For DW, club/axe on mainhand and rapier on offhand. Preferably with "of slaughter" suffix (high weapon damage) for mainhand weapon and "of nimble/balance" suffix (high parry chance/accuracy) for offhand weapon.
*Kevlar "of protection" or Shade "Of fleet/shadowdancer" gear for light melee.
*Plate, shield and power armor for heavy melee. Preferably with "of protection", "of barrier", "of balance" or "of slaughter" suffix.

===Accuracy===
*Should have around 100%+ accuracy before level 200.
**To ensure the attacks won't miss.
*Should aim for 150%+ accuracy after level 200.
**Against custom high PL monsters with high evade chance.

===Melee Stats===
(Does not include stats from [[equipment]])

{|class="wikitable"
!Stat
!Equal to
!Priority
|-
|STR || Level + a bit || High
|-
|DEX || Level || Mid
|-
|AGI || Level + a bit || Mid-high
|-
|END || Level + a bit || High
|-
|INT || Level * ~0.7 || Low
|-
|WIS || Level * ~0.9 || Mid
|}

===Melee [[Auras]]===
*Major: Red, Orange
*Minor: Green, Yellow
*Unimportant: Blue, Violet, Indigo

==Post-200 adjustments==
At level 200, you'll start facing monsters of any Power Level, mostly above PL 400. As a result, most of the fights will be significantly more difficult than pre-200. There's a few adjustments you can do:
*Lower your [[difficulty]] setting until you get accustomed to the new monsters.
*Get better [[equipment]] (especially a better [[weapon]]).
*Utilize your deprecating spells and [[scrolls]] such as Weaken, Silence, and X-Nerf.
*Understand [[Monster_Lab_Bestiary|which monsters]] are more difficult to deal with and their strengths/weaknesses.
*For melee players, use [[Skills#Universal_Skills|Focus]] as it replenishes mana and helps to land deprecating spells on monsters at the same time.
*It may be wise to invest in an [[Innate Arcana]] slot if you haven't already.

==[[Equipment]]==
Principles for worthy equipments, in order of importance:
# Suitability to the playing style. (Refer to [[Equipment_Ranges|Equipment Ranges]] for max/min base values)
#* High weapon damage (''of slaughter'') for main-hand one-handed weapons (club, axe) and two-handed weapons
#* High parry chance for off-hand weapons (rapier, dagger, wakizashi)
#* High chance/duration/damage for [[Equipment_Procs|procs]] (bleeding, stun, penetrated armor, [[Fighting_Styles#Staff|ether theft]])
#* High MDB/EDB for staffs (ebony, katalox)
#* High EDB for phases
#* High evade/ADB for shade, high crit rate for ''of shadowdancer'' suffix
#* High mitigation (''of protection'') for kevlar, plate, shield, and power armor
#* High block rate for [[Shield_(Equipment)|shields]] and shield armor
#* High ADB for power armor of slaughter
# [[Ethereal]] weapons
#* Rare and worth more than normal equips because of [[void]] damage
# Rarity
#* Rare equips: scythe, wakizashi, katana, ebony staff, katalox staff, phase, shade, power
#* Common equips: axe, club, rapier, mace, estoc, oak, willow, gossamer, kevlar, shield
#* Very common equips: dagger, shortsword, longsword, redwood, cotton, leather, plate
# [[Equipment#Prefixes|Prefix]]
#* Better prefix produces better equips

==[[Items]]==
*'''Utilize your potions. They're meant to be used, not for collection.'''
*Save all [[Items#Tokens|Tokens of Blood]] after clearing each round of [[Ring of Blood]] once. After that use them exclusively to fight FSM.
*For [[Items#Restoratives|potions]], save weaker ones for [[Combat#Recovering|recovering out of combat]] and use stronger ones (preferably Godly) for [[Character_Menu#Battle_Items|recovering in combat]].
*If [[trophies]] are your target, clear through higher-level [[arenas]] on Normal [[difficulty]]. Trophy [[drop rates]] do not change based on [[difficulty]] setting.

==[[Monster Lab]]==
*Make 1-2 monsters and get them to a fair [[PL]] (100+) before making any others.
*Do not increase the INT of any non-Elemental monsters unless it is to inflate their PL.
**Likewise with the DEX of Elemental monsters.
*Don't spend too many [[credits]] on [[crystals]] at lower level.
*For [[Monster_Lab#Chaos_Upgrades|Chaos Upgrades]]: Affection > Fortitude > Brutality > Defense > Warding > Interception > (Everything Else)
*Check monsters every few hours for [[gifts]]. If they get very few wins check less often.
*Remember to name your monsters' [[Monster_Lab#Skill_Editor|special attacks]] or they won't be used in [[combat]].

==[[Hath Perks]]==
===[[Auras#Spectral_Auras|Aura Perks]]===
Rainbow -> Black -> White

===[[Crystal]] Perks===
Plausible if you play tons of rounds.

===[[Innate Arcana]]===
Common selection:
*1st: Haste
*2nd: Shadow Veil/Protection

Shadow Veil/Protection can be substituted with SoL or SS when you're playing on high difficulty. However, remember that putting SoL and SS on IA has risks since they can dissipate if you fall below 10% mana. SoL will not be recast if you are below 25% and it is triggered.

==[[Bestiary#Gods|God]] Strategies==
*Universal: Weaken, Slow, Imperil, Silence. If you don't have silence, keep Spark (or Spirit Shield with over 50% health) and Haste up at all times. Shadow veil is also good, but is not a must.
*Check if you have sufficient deprecating proficiency to keep all the debuffs on.
*Mages:
**Armor: Use those which boosts your damage in specific element. Heaven-sent/heimdall for FSM, demon-fiend/fenrir for IPU. Fox (soul spells) or elementalist (magic missile) for RL.
**Weapon: Preferably a destruction staff with high magical damage bonus. EDB/prof staff is acceptable. High ether theft duration/chance is always a plus.
**Strategy: Use the strongest AOE spell. Banish for FSM, pestilence or Ragnarok for IPU, soul harvest/magic missile for RL. You can also use infusions to raise the spell's power.
*Melee:
**Armor: Preferably mitigation armor with high mitigation bonus. Usual armor is also okay, but you'll receive more damage.
**Weapon(s): Void weapon is recommended (either ethereal weapon or use voidseeker shard). For Dual Wield a club for Main Hand and a rapier as Off-hand. For two-handed, either a mace or estoc. Use the weapon with highest weapon damage.
**Strategy: Just beware of the health left. Always keep silence on.

==Grinding [[Proficiencies]]==
Proficiency grinding is needed for deprecating, supportive and curative proficiency only if they are below 50-75% of your level. Most of the time offensive (weapon, spell) proficiency don't need to be grinded as they should be close to your level. When grinding magic proficiencies it is recommended to use a weapon with as much mana conservation as possible.
*'''Weapons''' - Go into a high [[difficulty]] [[Quality|crude]] equipment's [[Item World]] and go for as long as you can.
*'''Armors, Elemental''' - Same as above but on Easy [[difficulty]].
**Remember that you still gain armor proficiency when you evade so there's no harm in using Shadow Veil, etc.
**Do not use Haste when training Armor; you want monsters to attack you as often as possible.
*'''Curative''' - Spam Cure I.
*'''Supportive''' - Spam a Spike spell.
*'''Deprecating''' - Spam Weaken / Imperil.
**Remember that you still gain deprecating proficiency when you fail to curse weave.
*'''Divine, Forbidden, Spiritual''' - Spam Purge and Pestilence (alternating each turn).

==[[Trophies]]==
*Since the equipment stats are [[Level_Scaling|scaled to your level]], you can turn these in for equipment or sell them any time you want. There is no real point in holding them.

==[[Training]]==
*Train Adept Learner to ~100-150.
*Train [[Ability]] Boost to ~50.
*Fully train Pack Rat as your item consumption dictates.
*Train 2-3 ranks of Assimilator if you are power-leveling.
*Keep Scavenger higher than Archaeologist, LotD, and Quartermaster until level ~150-200. Then keep them balanced (cost-wise).
*Misc Posting does nothing and Power Tank does almost nothing for you in HV.
*Set Collector isn't useful until much later on.

===[[Auras]]===
*To utilize the Auras you're about to get through level 1-60 it's advisable to not release any auras that breaks from your primary build (Melee/Mage). By level 60 you'll end up with a maximum Rank Aura equal to 2 when Focus Aura I is unlocked; you can then spend 6 Aura points on your primary build's auras.

==Mage Builds==
*EDB-suffix or Destruction staff. High MDB or EDB for the elements you use.
**Preferably ebony if using elemental spells, katalox if using holy/dark spells
**oak if you primarily use holy spells
**redwood as a cheap alternative for new players
**MDB > EDB = Prof. Proc chance and duration preferably be 30-40%, 2-3 effective turns. The use of EDB/prof depends on the amount of EDB bonus you have.

*Phase gear of the element you use.
**proficiency gossamers (demon-fiend, heaven-sent, elementalists) can be used when you have insufficient fund, but that is not recommended as you get more offensive proficiency from your character.
**EDB > PAB = evade in general situation;
***AGI is the preferred additional PAB.

===Mage Spells===
*Get at least 2 kinds of elemental AoEs before level 100
*Start getting Holy/Dark spells past level 150
**Soul harvest is not a priority till you're level 250+ (unless you need to fight RL with soul harvest)
**Soul fire/burst at level 250 to replace elemental spells (for non-elemental spell users against bosses)

===Mage [[Auras]]===
*Major: Violet, Indigo, Blue
*Minor: Green, Yellow
*Unimportant: Red , Orange

==Melee Builds==
*2-Handed mace/estoc "of Slaughter". High ADB and proc chance/duration.
**Ethereal mace/estoc at high level.
*For DW, club/axe on mainhand and rapier on offhand. Preferably with "of slaughter" suffix (high weapon damage) for mainhand weapon and "of nimble/balance" suffix (high parry chance/accuracy) for offhand weapon.
*Kevlar "of protection" or Shade "Of fleet/shadowdancer" gear for light melee.
*Plate, shield and power armor for heavy melee. Preferably with "of protection", "of barrier", "of balance" or "of slaughter" suffix.

===Accuracy===
*Should have around 100%+ accuracy before level 200.
**To ensure the attacks won't miss.
*Should aim for 150%+ accuracy after level 200.
**Against custom high PL monsters with high evade chance.

===Melee [[Auras]]===

*Minor: Green, Yellow
*Unimportant: Blue, Violet, Indigo

==Post-200 adjustments==
At level 200, you'll start facing monsters of any Power Level, mostly above PL 400. As a result, most of the fights will be significantly more difficult than pre-200. There's a few adjustments you can do:
*Lower your [[difficulty]] setting until you get accustomed to the new monsters.
*Get better [[equipment]] (especially a better [[weapon]]).
*Utilize your deprecating spells and [[scrolls]] such as Weaken, Silence, and X-Nerf.
*Understand [[Monster_Lab_Bestiary|which monsters]] are more difficult to deal with and their strengths/weaknesses.
*For melee players, use [[Skills#Universal_Skills|Focus]] as it replenishes mana and helps to land deprecating spells on monsters at the same time.
*It may be wise to invest in an [[Innate Arcana]] slot if you haven't already.

==[[Equipment]]==
Principles for worthy equipments, in order of importance:
# Suitability to the playing style. (Refer to [[Equipment_Ranges|Equipment Ranges]] for max/min base values)
#* High weapon damage (''of slaughter'') for main-hand one-handed weapons (club, axe) and two-handed weapons
#* High parry chance for off-hand weapons (rapier, dagger, wakizashi)
#* High chance/duration/damage for [[Equipment_Procs|procs]] (bleeding, stun, penetrated armor, [[Fighting_Styles#Staff|ether theft]])
#* High MDB/EDB for staffs (ebony, katalox)
#* High EDB for phases
#* High evade/ADB for shade, high crit rate for ''of shadowdancer'' suffix
#* High mitigation (''of protection'') for kevlar, plate, shield, and power armor
#* High block rate for [[Shield_(Equipment)|shields]] and shield armor
#* High ADB for power armor of slaughter
# [[Ethereal]] weapons
#* Rare and worth more than normal equips because of [[void]] damage
# Rarity
#* Rare equips: scythe, wakizashi, katana, ebony staff, katalox staff, phase, shade, power
#* Common equips: axe, club, rapier, mace, estoc, oak, willow, gossamer, kevlar, shield
#* Very common equips: dagger, shortsword, longsword, redwood, cotton, leather, plate
# [[Equipment#Prefixes|Prefix]]
#* Better prefix produces better equips

==[[Items]]==
*'''Utilize your potions. They're meant to be used, not for collection.'''
*Save all [[Items#Tokens|Tokens of Blood]] after clearing each round of [[Ring of Blood]] once. After that use them exclusively to fight FSM.
*For [[Items#Restoratives|potions]], save weaker ones for [[Combat#Recovering|recovering out of combat]] and use stronger ones (preferably Godly) for [[Character_Menu#Battle_Items|recovering in combat]].
*If [[trophies]] are your target, clear through higher-level [[arenas]] on Normal [[difficulty]]. Trophy [[drop rates]] do not change based on [[difficulty]] setting.

==[[Monster Lab]]==
*Make 1-2 monsters and get them to a fair [[PL]] (100+) before making any others.
*Do not increase the INT of any non-Elemental monsters unless it is to inflate their PL.
**Likewise with the DEX of Elemental monsters.
*Don't spend too many [[credits]] on [[crystals]] at lower level.
*For [[Monster_Lab#Chaos_Upgrades|Chaos Upgrades]]: Affection > Fortitude > Brutality > Defense > Warding > Interception > (Everything Else)
*Check monsters every few hours for [[gifts]]. If they get very few wins check less often.
*Remember to name your monsters' [[Monster_Lab#Skill_Editor|special attacks]] or they won't be used in [[combat]].

==[[Hath Perks]]==
===[[Auras#Spectral_Auras|Aura Perks]]===
Rainbow -> Black -> White

===[[Crystal]] Perks===
Plausible if you play tons of rounds.

===[[Innate Arcana]]===
Common selection:
*1st: Haste
*2nd: Shadow Veil/Protection

Shadow Veil/Protection can be substituted with SoL or SS when you're playing on high difficulty. However, remember that putting SoL and SS on IA has risks since they can dissipate if you fall below 10% mana. SoL will not be recast if you are below 25% and it is triggered.

==[[Bestiary#Gods|God]] Strategies==
*Universal: Weaken, Slow, Imperil, Silence. If you don't have silence, keep Spark (or Spirit Shield with over 50% health) and Haste up at all times. Shadow veil is also good, but is not a must.
*Check if you have sufficient deprecating proficiency to keep all the debuffs on.
*Mages:
**Armor: Use those which boosts your damage in specific element. Heaven-sent/heimdall for FSM, demon-fiend/fenrir for IPU. Fox (soul spells) or elementalist (magic missile) for RL.
**Weapon: Preferably a destruction staff with high magical damage bonus. EDB/prof staff is acceptable. High ether theft duration/chance is always a plus.
**Strategy: Use the strongest AOE spell. Banish for FSM, pestilence or Ragnarok for IPU, soul harvest/magic missile for RL. You can also use infusions to raise the spell's power.
*Melee:
**Armor: Preferably mitigation armor with high mitigation bonus. Usual armor is also okay, but you'll receive more damage.
**Weapon(s): Void weapon is recommended (either ethereal weapon or use voidseeker shard). For Dual Wield a club for Main Hand and a rapier as Off-hand. For two-handed, either a mace or estoc. Use the weapon with highest weapon damage.
**Strategy: Just beware of the health left. Always keep silence on.

==Grinding [[Proficiencies]]==
Proficiency grinding is needed for deprecating, supportive and curative proficiency only if they are below 50-75% of your level. Most of the time offensive (weapon, spell) proficiency don't need to be grinded as they should be close to your level. When grinding magic proficiencies it is recommended to use a weapon with as much mana conservation as possible.
*'''Weapons''' - Go into a high [[difficulty]] [[Quality|crude]] equipment's [[Item World]] and go for as long as you can.
*'''Armors, Elemental''' - Same as above but on Easy [[difficulty]].
**Remember that you still gain armor proficiency when you evade so there's no harm in using Shadow Veil, etc.
**Do not use Haste when training Armor; you want monsters to attack you as often as possible.
*'''Curative''' - Spam Cure I.
*'''Supportive''' - Spam a Spike spell.
*'''Deprecating''' - Spam Weaken / Imperil.
**Remember that you still gain deprecating proficiency when you fail to curse weave.
*'''Divine, Forbidden, Spiritual''' - Spam Purge and Pestilence (alternating each turn).

==[[Trophies]]==
*Since the equipment stats are [[Level_Scaling|scaled to your level]], you can turn these in for equipment or sell them any time you want. There is no real point in holding them.

==[[Training]]==
*Train Adept Learner to ~100-150.
*Train [[Ability]] Boost to ~50.
*Fully train Refined [[Aura]] by level 200 if you need the extra [[EXP]] bonus.
**Otherwise, the bonus from the third/fourth refined aura may be insufficient to cover the cost.
*Fully train Pack Rat as your item consumption dictates.
*Train 2-3 ranks of Assimilator if you are power-leveling.
*Keep Scavenger higher than Archaeologist, LotD, and Quartermaster until level ~150-200. Then keep them balanced (cost-wise).
*Misc Posting does nothing and Power Tank does almost nothing for you in HV.
*Set Collector isn't useful until much later on.

HentaiVerse Advice

Fishinsea: /* Abilities */ aura slot

''This page is for general HentaiVerse advice.''

==Very Important [[HentaiVerse_Hotkeys|Hotkey]]!==
'''If you want to get an [[equipment]]'s link, mouse over it and press 'c'.'''
*Don't leave your Caps Lock on and enable popups for your browser.

==Pre-Level 50==
Keep [[stats]] balanced, do not invest in a build unless you are certain. Determine which play style you think best suits you.

'''[[#Mage|Mages]]''': [[Weapon]] should be Ebony/Redwood staff of Focus. Armor choice should be "of the Elementalist".

'''[[#Melee|Melees]]''': Weapon should be "of Balance" if you have problem with accuracy. You can use "of Slaughter" on main-hand if you're using [[Fighting_Styles#Dual_Wielding|Dual-Wield]]/[[Fighting_Styles#One-Handed|One-Handed]].

==Picking Your Role==
(See [[Play Styles]] and [[Fighting Styles]])

It's generally not recommended to pursue both paths before lv. 250 as you don't have sufficient ability points to cover both the necessary offensive spells (for maging) and overcharge (for meleeing).

===Mage===
*Use cloth armor and staffs only.
*Can cast spells of every [[damage type]] except [[Void]].
*Can cast AoE spells which can hit every monster on the field.
*Can take advantage of [[Spells#Status_Effects|elemental explosions]].
*Are most vulnerable to attacks.
*Do not need to deal with [[interference]].

===Melee===
====Light Armor====
*Medium mitigation, burden and interference.
*Have variance which increase mitigation (kevlar armor) and evade/attack damage/remove burden (shade armor).

====Heavy Armor====
*Highest mitigation, but also more burden and interference.
*Have variance which increase block chance (shield armor) and attack damage (power armor).
*Play style: use spell Protection all time

====1H====
*Can use [[shields]] for extra block chance but have to deal with more burden and interference.
*Can further boost block chance via Shield armor.
*Overwhelming Strike to increase damage, accuracy and parry chance.

====DW====
*Highest damage vs. single targets. Good for high [[difficulty]] [[Ring of Blood]] and legendary [[Arenas]].
*Can take advantage of 2 [[Equipment Procs|procs]] (e.g. stun and penetrated armor) with offhand strikes.
*The final [[fighting skill]] can hit multiple targets.

====2H====
*Domino strike have chance to hit multiple targets.
**Thus, easiest to apply procs on multiple monsters.

====Niten====
*Usable only by equiping katana in mainhand and wakizashi in offhand.
*Have partial benefits from 2H and DW.
**Domino strike limited to 5 monsters.
**Offhand damage but no parry bonus.
*For very new players (below lv. 100) or advanced (above Lv. 300) players only.
**It won't give any weapon proficiency and can hit at most 5 targets.

==Best Use of [[Stamina]]==
'''[[Leveling]]''': [[Random Encounter]], [[Grindfest]], post-Lv220 [[Arena]]s

'''[[Credits]]''': [[Arena]], [[Grindfest]] (With crystal [[Hath Perks]] and ability to play tons of rounds)

'''[[Items]]/[[Equips]]''': [[Grindfest]], [[Item World]], [[Arena]], [[Ring of Blood]]

==Regardless of Build==
The following are universal regardless of whether you choose a melee or a mage build.

===[[Abilities]]===
*'''Top priority''' goes toward all HP tanks followed by [[Item]] Slots, then MP tanks.
*Invest in [[EXP]] tanks after a fair amount of Adept Learner [[training]].
*Invest in a few scroll slots and one infusion slot if you need them in regular strategy.
*Invest into SP tanks and [[overcharge]] boosts only if you're melee or level 200+.
*Elemental resistances should have the lowest priority.

*Universal: Weaken, Slow, Imperil, Silence. If you don't have silence, keep Spark (or Spirit Shield with over 50% health) and Haste up at all times. Shadow veil is also good, but is not a must.
*Check if you have sufficient deprecating proficiency to keep all the debuffs on.
*Mages:
**Armor: Use those which boosts your damage in specific element. Heaven-sent/heimdall for FSM, demon-fiend/fenrir for IPU. Fox (soul spells) or elementalist (magic missile) for RL.
**Weapon: Preferably a destruction staff with high magical damage bonus. EDB/prof staff is acceptable. High ether theft duration/chance is always a plus.
**Strategy: Use the strongest AOE spell. Banish for FSM, pestilence or Ragnarok for IPU, soul harvest/magic missile for RL. You can also use infusions to raise the spell's power.
*Melee:
**Armor: Preferably mitigation armor with high mitigation bonus. Usual armor is also okay, but you'll receive more damage.
**Weapon(s): Void weapon is recommended (either ethereal weapon or use voidseeker shard). For Dual Wield a club for Main Hand and a rapier as Off-hand. For two-handed, either a mace or estoc. Use the weapon with highest weapon damage.
**Strategy: Just beware of the health left. Always keep silence on.

==Grinding [[Proficiencies]]==
Proficiency grinding is needed for deprecating, supportive and curative proficiency only if they are below 50-75% of your level. Most of the time offensive (weapon, spell) proficiency don't need to be grinded as they should be close to your level. When grinding magic proficiencies it is recommended to use a weapon with as much mana conservation as possible.
*'''Weapons''' - Go into a high [[difficulty]] [[Quality|crude]] equipment's [[Item World]] and go for as long as you can.
*'''Armors, Elemental''' - Same as above but on Easy [[difficulty]].
**Remember that you still gain armor proficiency when you evade so there's no harm in using Shadow Veil, etc.
**Do not use Haste when training Armor; you want monsters to attack you as often as possible.
*'''Curative''' - Spam Cure I.
*'''Supportive''' - Spam a Spike spell.
*'''Deprecating''' - Spam Weaken / Imperil.
**Remember that you still gain deprecating proficiency when you fail to curse weave.
*'''Divine, Forbidden, Spiritual''' - Spam Purge and Pestilence (alternating each turn).

==[[Trophies]]==
*Since the equipment stats are [[Level_Scaling|scaled to your level]], you can turn these in for equipment or sell them any time you want. There is no real point in holding them.

==[[Training]]==
*Train Adept Learner to ~100-150.
*Train [[Ability]] Boost to ~50.
*Fully train Refined [[Aura]] by level 200 if you need the extra [[EXP]] bonus.
**Otherwise, the bonus from the third/fourth refined aura may be insufficient to cover the cost.
*Fully train Pack Rat as your item consumption dictates.
*Train 2-3 ranks of Assimilator if you are power-leveling.
*Keep Scavenger higher than Archaeologist, LotD, and Quartermaster until level ~150-200. Then keep them balanced (cost-wise).
*Misc Posting does nothing and Power Tank does almost nothing for you in HV.
*Set Collector isn't useful until much later on.

Fishinsea: /* Tier 1 */ removing aura slots

Abilities provide various boosts, new [[spells]], slots for items / auras, and elemental resistances. At every 10 levels (and at level 1) a new tier of abilities is unlocked.

==Ability Points==

Abilities require ability points (AP) to be activated or increased in strength.

===Sources===
* One AP is granted per [[Leveling_Up|level]].
* AP may be purchased via Ability Boost [[Training]] (up to 100).
* Players have a chance to receive 1 AP when offering [[Items#Artifacts|artifacts]] at the [[Shrine]].

===Investing===
Players simply click on an ability when 1 AP is available to invest in it. All abilities use 1, 3, or 5 AP maximum. For spells, only the first AP is needed to unlock the spell. Any additional AP invested will grant more duration or strength to it.

====Breakdown====
It currently takes 627 AP to max out all of the available abilities.

*No typographically similar numerical substitutions on names of existing monsters (that is, o=0 and i=1=l, space=hyphen)
**No Consecutive spaces or hyphens
**spaces and hyphens cannot be next to each other
**Cannot start or end with hyphens
**Maximum 5 spaces or hyphens per name

===Costs===
*Each monster slot costs 1 + N Chaos Tokens to unlock, where N is the number of slots already opened.
**Players with [[Auras#Metallic_Auras|Gold auras or above]] can unlock two slots with the cost of one.
*Monsters can be renamed at the cost of 3 Chaos Tokens. Fixing capitalization is free.
*Monsters can be deleted at the cost of 5 Chaos Tokens.
**Once a monster reaches PL 100 these actions can no longer be taken.

==Monster Stats & Power Level==
[[Image:Monster Stats.PNG|thumb|Monster Stats page.]]
Once a monster is created, it can be strengthened using [[items#Crystals | Crystals]]. The monster's PL will rise with each stat upgrade. As crystals are used to increase a monster's attributes, the cost of subsequent increases in that stat goes up.

===Upgrading===
[[Image:fire.png]] = Not enough crystals to upgrade, or the stat is maxed out

[[Image:fire_a.png]] = Enough crystals to upgrade, simply click on it to spend the crystals

Mousing over either of these will show the name and number of crystals needed for the next upgrade.

===Monster PL vs. Player Level===
*A monster must have a PL of at least 25 to become active in battle.
*Monsters give an additional [[EXP]] bonus of 1% per PL, meaning that a PL 100 monster will give double the normal EXP.
*Monsters give additional [[Loot_Drop_Rolls|loot drop chance]] starting from PL 500, and is increased by 1% per 25 PL.
*It is possible for players to fight monsters that they have created.
*The system is biased towards picking monsters that are closer to the player's PL cap. The maximum PL of monsters that a player can face is:
{| class="wikitable"
!Player's Level
!Max Monster PL
|-
|1-99 || Player's current level
|-
|100+ || ((Player's current level ^ 1.27) - 247)
|}

===Important Power Levels===
*25 - Unlocks naming (becomes active in battle once named)
*100 - Renaming and Deleting are no longer possible
*200 - Unlocks second Skill Attack
*250 - High-grade materials can now be gifts
*400 - Unlocks Spirit Attack
*749 - Low-grade materials can no longer be gifts
*1000 - All Chaos Upgrades are available
*1249 - Mid-grade materials can no longer be gifts (100% are High-grade)
*1687-1946 - PL maxes out (different for each class of monsters)

==Skill Editor==
[[Image:Skill Editor.PNG|thumb|The Skill Editor page.]]
Monsters get skills when they are created, at PL 200, and at PL 400.
*Skill names need to be set before monsters can use them.
*The initial skill has the same damage type as the monster's main attack, and costs 50% MP.
**Monsters with a physical attack damage type gets a Physical type skill (which is boosted by DEX), while those with an elemental attack type get an Magical type skill (which is boosted by INT).
*Additional skills at PL 200 and PL 400 have following characteristics:
**The skill at PL 200 costs 50% MP and is more powerful than the initial skill.
**The skill at PL 400 costs 100% SP and is more powerful than both MP skills.
**Some monster classes can choose between physical and magical skills. The [[damage type]] can also be changed.

==Chaos Upgrades==
[[Image:Chaos Upgrades.PNG|thumb|The Chaos Upgrades page.]]
Monsters can be further upgraded using [[Tokens|chaos tokens]]. This will not change the monster's PL.
*Available upgrades depend on PL of monster (every 5 PL unlocks another rank of at least 1 upgrade), and is shown in light blue blocks. Unavailable upgrades are shown in while blocks.
*The number of tokens required for an upgrade equals the number of next upgrade. (i.e. the Nth upgrade requires N tokens). Upgraded stats are shown in yellow.
*It currently takes 2310 chaos tokens to fully upgrade one monster.
*Note that a custom monster CANNOT evade/parry/resist until at least 1 level of the corresponding upgrade is made.<sup>[http://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=29703&st=17400&p=2067214&#entry2067214]</sup>

==Gifts==
[[Image:Monster Gift.PNG|thumb|Monster Gift notification.]]
Player-created monsters have a chance of bringing [[items]] to their owner after at least one hour. Currently only Materials can be gotten this way.
===Chances===
The chance to receive a gift is calculated when a player checks on them via the Monster Lab screen:
<pre<includeonly></includeonly> style="overflow: auto;{{{style|}}}">'''Gift Chance''' = # of hours since last check * Battles won since last gift * 2</pre>

Monsters ''can'' bring gifts without getting any kills, but the odds are quite low.<sup>[http://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?s=&showtopic=90979&view=findpost&p=2182857]</sup>

Materials are gifted at a ratio of 2:1:1:1 (Metal:Cloth:Leather:Wood).

Monsters with higher Power Levels have a better chance to bring Bindings.

[[Skills#Universal_Skills|Fleeing]] from battle counts as a win for the monsters involved.

"'''Battles won'''" does NOT count:
*Deaths to a player's own monsters (to prevent abuse)
**There is a cooldown on how often a player can count as a repeat win (also to prevent abuse)
*[[Abilities#Tier_11|Spark of Life]] being triggered

===Power Level's Effect On Gifts===
Power Level helps with the quality of the gift. Whenever a player receive a graded material, its quality is determined as such:
<pre<includeonly></includeonly> style="overflow: auto;{{{style|}}}">'''Gift Quality Roll''' = random(1..1000) + Power_Level</pre>
A roll of 750+ is needed for medium-grade and 1250+ for high-grade. Thus to receive a high-grade item a monster's minimum PL must be 250, and the chance maxes out at PL 1249. At PL 749 low-grades will no longer be received. PL has no effect on the chance to receive rares. As the monster's PL gets higher bindings become more likely.
