User blog comment:Delwack/Mynet Tweaks - Increasing Vit (and shoe) usage/@comment-27026570-20160416185542/@comment-2098192-20160416205145

I do run advanced EH and am familiar with the sword drain that happens during the advanced EH period (esp if you are going for heavy jackpot). However advanced EH running relies on two things:  1) keys (which drop in BAs, and hence suffer from the above bit drain) and 2) all of the random stuff you kill prior to EH, which have a tendency to drop a ridiculous amount of light swords.

Once your out of keys the vit/shoes required to get more far outways the sword expendature that you run into in adv. EH.
