Using better armor

[Sgt bilko]

When you craft new, better armor like snakeskin do you use it by clicking on the equip button on the pop up screen ( I think that is what it is called ) or do you equip it using the enhance screen? After 2 hours of waiting to create it I want to get the best boost from it!

Hey Sarg, good to see you on K&D! Enhancing is separate from equipping. Enhancement happens when you press the Enhance button on the following screen:

The amount of enhancement is not random; we've figured it out (see the Enhancing armors thread).

So it doesn't matter when you equip it; the enhancement has already been done.
