the monster's level is
yours +1
or
5*(tier-1)
whichever is higher

and the monster uses the item thrown in
so if you throw in a heavy, they'll use a heavy, and maybe their charm
a monster only has 1 charm, so if you throw in a heal, they won't attack you with an offensive charm

I don't understand 5* (Tier 1)

example please?

tier 14
5*(tier-1) = 5*(14-1) = 5*13 = 65

Ah I wasn't looking at it as a mathematics equation so much as those parenthesis in a grammatical sense..no wonder it didn't click.

So in other words if I were to throw in a level 55 item and was at level 55 myself the monster that spawned would be a level 65 monster and i'd be at a disadvantage.

I see thanks..and in the other case if I through in say..a tier 2 item I'd still get a monster of my level but using that weak item. explains why I've had so much success so far. I have been waiting to do my upper tiered items till I reach 64.

I've noticed since I've reach 60+ I get critted for up to around half my life sometimes by regular monsters which scares me about well monsters I'll need to stay around 70% or higher life at practically all times if it is one that tends to crit.

I think..I might just continue on to MQ and remake this with the first 10 or 20 in vita like you suggested (except you suggested double this) till I get more experience / better heal.

I think with 10-20 in vita i'd still be comfortable enough to well successful.

Just as an update

So far I'm still welling @ 100%

I've probably done at least over 10-15 total wells.

and at least half were level 35-45 items.

without much trouble at all actually..swords are my biggest problem because my heal isn't very good..but i'll fix that asap. then I think I'll be able to stay 100%

I guess a 120-130 EE dmg charm isn't really necessary as long as you have a heal of that ee Preferably focused. definitely not wild.

knowing that may help others make their wellers for cheaper.

Gah lost my last 3 in a row one due to carelessness

two due to my bad heal charm (it was damaging me as much on normal hits as I could heal..therefore leading to problems when it critted me)

out of the last 23...a good heal charm is far more important than a good damage charm i've learned that the hard way..a 100 ee 55 is good enough if you have a good heal that can heal you for like 500 consistently (or at least 450)

what lvl should i be to do 30 level sword well?
pm me answer

Id say around 65 %

my heals average between 450 and 600 and thats with my 90ee focused heal(but i also have decent gear that boosts it alot)
