 The easy metric to calculate how close you are to max killing Filchers is the fastest Attack Speed possible: 10 AS. When you have enough empowers, allstat, compendium and companions to get 10 AS, you're most likely powerful enough to kill 20 Filchers or more. The easy metric to calculate how close you are to max killing Filchers is the fastest Attack Speed possible: 10 AS.

 10 Attack Speed is the highest Attack Speed (denoted AS) a player can achieve without injections (lightning injection lets you get down to 9 AS). As you get lower AS, you will hit enemies way more often progressively more. If an enemy has 20 AS while you have 10 AS and you can 2-shot that enemy, you won't take any damage in that round. Similarly, if you can hit an enemy twice before they hit you once, you can proc incapacitate Drake ability much more likely and get more free damage in. It's generally very useful and a must at late game. 10 Attack Speed is the highest Attack Speed (denoted AS) a player can achieve without injections (lightning injection lets you get down to 9 AS).

 If we're using T9 gear, we don't have to E9 every single T7 gear we have and just cheaply craft T9 gear instead. Since there's more than 10 speed difference between E9 T7 and base T9, it's better to just craft a T9 instead of using E9 T7. If we're using T9 gear, we don't have to E9 every single T7 gear we have and just cheaply craft T9 gear instead.

 10x E9 T9 piece total: (215+280) * 2.14 = __1059 speed. Not enough__, we need some allstat. 1418/1059 = 1.338, therefore we need 34% allstat. That's 2 pieces of E25 and 2% more allstat. Therefore, __we need to purchase 2x max empowered T9 gear to get to 10 AS__. 10x E9 T9 piece total: (215+280) * 2.14 = __1059 speed.

 +===== What now? =====
  
 Now that we have 10 AS, we should easily be able to max kill Filchers. The next [[advanced_guide|Advanced Guide]] will feature what to do after reaching that point, including getting all T9 augments. The true question that will be asked in the next chapter is: "Do I stay at Filchers forever?" Now that we have 10 AS, we should easily be able to max kill Filchers.
