Depends on what's your expectation of "successful ToH."

Ayu's ToH is beta tested usually using a lv 90 non-trans Knight with the following equips:

Weapons
+4 vvs non-ranking smithed elemental claymore
+4 Gaia Sword (it's just a 150 power, no slot 1 handed sword. Using Flamberge has same and even better result if it's elemental)

Shields
+5 Shield[Hodremlin]

Armor
+6 Chainmail[Peco Peco]
+4 Flower Wings

Shoes
+5 greaves[0]

Garment
+5 Manteau[0]

Headgear
+5 Helm[Grand Peco]

Accessory
2x Ring[Mantis]

Item: 20 Panacea, then load up on salmons up to 89%

That's *all* I use for the beta testing setup. 120 total str, 40-ish dex, and the rest vit (agi, int, luk at 1). The unrealistic part you can argue, is that I do have every knight skill as GM made chars aren't bound by skill points. Other than that, it's imho, legit knight.

It's not pure npc equip, but I think that it's not unreasonable equipment that's way over the top for lv 90 non-trans. Few cards can be bit pricey but the equipment and not-overly-high refine isn't too bad. ToH Monster Trial is considered "fair and acceptable" if I get 35 points with this setup. 35 therefore, is the "average" ToH monster score. Getting above 35 isn't standard but doing great and above average. 45 is excellent, and full 50 is exceptional talent.

So really, is it that bad? Depends on your mindset and expectations then. I expect 35 average in monster, 25-30 average in item, then 1 or 2 trivia, so you work your way to land right on the wings and feel accomplished. OCA is for the great players or the winning side of mass battle, and the double OCA is for the highly exceptional "true heroes."
