1) They're cheaper - Over a timespan of 40 minutes, you will have spent 25k on warrior elixirs and 8k on ciders. The warrior elixirs are more then 3x the cost and for less benefit.
Money makes the world go round! I make more than enough money to afford wasting it on Warrior Elixirs.
Fiel Wrote:2) They provide more ATK - Sometimes the extra 8 ATK can make the difference between 3HKO and 2HKO which can greatly boost exp/hr.
I'm not quite there yet for Skeles.
Fiel Wrote:3) Much easier access - It's a lot easier to get access to Showa Town to buy ciders than to get access to NLC to buy warrior elixirs. This is especially true if you normally train in Aqua or Ludibrium and don't have an NLC mule.
True, but by the time I need to repot Warrior Elixirs anyways, I'll have ran out of Honster, Ginseng Roots, and w/e other pots I've gotten from bosses a long time ago.
Fiel Wrote:Cons:
1) Impractical for accuracy starved classes - Yes, ciders reduce accuracy by 5. This is only a problem for warriors, brawlers, and perma-beginners, though. If the 5 accuracy won't make a difference between 100% hit rate it might be a good idea to use ciders.
Not a problem for me.
Fiel Wrote:2) Takes up more "use" inventory - Only one cider is allowed per slot. For classes that need more use inventory than others (NLs are the primary target, gunslingers slightly less so), ciders might be a bad choice.
THIS is the main reason why I don't use ciders.
