The Ultimate Armor Collection Challenge

[cafedecoy]

So I've been working on this stupid idea just for fun, and I'm wondering if any of you will find this entertaining too. It's been a while since I hit that lv 100, so having challenges like these helps me from getting bored with the game.

I've been building up my collection of armors slowly. The idea is to have the ultimate set of armors that, in theory, can counter any set of existing armors out there.... and the best of all.. you don't really need to spend gems!

Objective: to collect the ultimate 15 sets of armors, all legendary + or above (basically, weekly boss+ version), all maxed out, representing all possible element mono and duo combinations.

Specifically they are:
Monos (5): Earth, fire, water, air, spirit
Duos (10): Earth fire, earth water, earth air, earth spirit, fire water, fire air, fire spirit, water air, water spirit, air spirit.

My current progress is: 8/15 completed; working on leveling up the next two.

If anyone of you have already done this, or if anyone of you are working on something similar to this, tell me your story :)

I'm currently working on a similar thing, except with two of every dual element armor instead of one of each mono and dual.

I'm currently at 5/20, with:
Armor of the Bear
Swampstone Platemail
Assassin's Shroud
Aegis of the Fallen
Armor of Phyrus

I also have Sky Guardian and Swamp Shaman, but I'm not counting those.

I'm sort of lazily working on:
Horseman's Battlegear
Witch's Robes
Armor of the Wolf
Ravenlord's Mantle

[Smiley80]

been working on this for a while now already. im working on 11/15 legendary+, headless horseman lvl 47. the other 10 are listed below

[Smiley80]

the great part of having 15/15 is you are garanteed to have 3 strong armors for the epic boss, that is what motivated me to start this a while ago

[cafedecoy]

Great! So I'm not alone in this madness :) It does look like certain element combinations are more rare than others, so I really don't know when I'll be done!

[Dianish]

Been doing this since the beginning. Not even close to being done yet.. Also trying to get 3 of each for a strong party :)

Its hell, its madness, but most of all its something to do.

[Smiley80]

3 of each is pointless, two maybe if you don't want any mono-armors, but if you have 15/15 you already have 3 strong against EVERYTHING.

True, but i wish to have no elemental weakness.

Edit: And have double elemental advantage. Not just one.

[Smiley80]

current boss Earth/spirit (to elements one after the other) you could use: fire/spirit, fire/water, water/spirit, mono-fire, mono-spirit (5 posibilities)
if it was Air/spirit (two elements not one after the other) you could use; fire/air, fire/spirit, mono-fire (3 possibilities)
If it was mono-spirit you could use: fire/spirit, fire/air, fire/water, mono-fire (4 possibilites)

15/15 is all you will ever need (small disclamer to mono-gear since they are slightly weeker)

[Smiley80]

Get BK+ only one with no elemental weekness, they all have a weekness even if you have 3

[cafedecoy]

LOL, so I could see the argument for having 3x adjacent duo element combo armors (2 element bonus), but for the others 1 of each would be enough.

For split duo element armors, you either have 1 element bonus or 2 element bonus compensated by 1 weakness.. so in theory the bonus and the weakness cancel each other out, making the two scenarios somewhat equivalent.

In other words, I think I just made up an excuse why I should not ignore this week's boss. LOL

[Dianish]

Ofc there will be elemental weakness sooner or later. My goal is to decrease that chance as much as possible.

Already had Bkal+. Used it for enchanment fodder. It helped lving my beastmaster. Its being obsolete these days.

[Eunuchorn]

I don't understand what you're talking about?

Having 1 bonus is better than 2 bonus and a weakness.

[cafedecoy]

Well... it's basically... a lot of snake skins.

[Smiley80]

I don't understand what you're talking about?

giving purpose to grinding stuff to get stuff. And discussing amoungs us the purpose/relavence of having all 15 possible armor variations and the opertunities it can bring.

can someone explain to me how to make epic armor?

[Sakino]

This was my target from when i rationalized how this game was working. Actually i'm really far from the target. If we are talking of legendary and above... I only have

Monos= blaze to level up, skipped the beasts armos ecept ice litch+, who got erroneously fused away from my cousin.
Adiacents= assassin shroud+, aegis of the fallen+, working to get spartan wargear and levelling up horseman+(gree, make air water boss now!)
Non-adiacents=clayplate mantle, combustion, moontide. I have no ideas on what to level up as earth fire or air spirit. The boss armors were looking to much unbalanced.

I will answer you only if you have almost 20 legendaries to waste away.

[froncik]

I have not yet

[EljayK]

Ideally I would have 2 of each adjacent and 1 of each split.

However, I don't like duplicates, just on principle. Maybe one day I'll change my mind. But for now my ideal list is coming up nicely. This is my current for your challenge:

Earth/Air: Witch's Robes+
Earth/Water: Swamp Shaman+
Earth/Fire: Armor of the Wolf+
Earth/Spirit: Assassin's Shroud+
Air/Water: Armor of Boreas
Air/Fire: None (ultimate sadfass)
Air/Spirit: Beastmaster's
Water/Fire: Horseman's+
Water/Spirit: Armor of Eurus
Fire/Spirit: Living Flame+ (lol).
Earth: Tectonic
Air: Featherblade+
Water: Leviathan+
Fire: Scorchstone+
Spirit: Soulshard+

So basically of the 15 I have 11/15 Leg+ or better. Need spirit/water, fire/air, fire/spirit, air/water and I'll be done the 15 rotation.

[cafedecoy]

LOL @ your living flame :)
I'm half regretting fusing away my Aegis of the Fallen. But I got that during my 2.5 weeks of playing, and it was the second boss armor I got, and hence a non + version :)

Monos:
earth: tectonic+, troll+ (should get rid of the troll, pun not intended)
fire: scorchstone+
spirit: soulshard+
air: featherblade +
water: none

Duos split:
earth fire: wolf+ (27/70)
earth water: swampstone+
fire air: none
spirit water: none
spirit air:ravenlord+

Duos adjacent:
earth spirit: bear+
earth air: witch+
water air:none
fire water: horseman+ (64/70)
fire spirit: none

The easiest way is to buy keys and open limited edition chests. These chests are not always available.

You can also fuse some of the earliest released epic armors, but it's a gamble. There's no set recipe, but your probability is increased if you use high value armors as your fusing ingredients. Read through these threads for more info:

Sorry to revive this thread but i finally achieved this goal

[EljayK]

Totally ok with threads getting revived. Just wish they'd stop dropping to second page.

[doober]

I'm doing it a bit differently. I want at least 2 of every element COMBO. I don't care much for mono elements.

Fire/Spirit Behemoth+
Spirit/Earth Bear+ Druid Wyvern+
Earth/Air Witch+ Glacius+ Ageis+
Air/Water Abominable+
Water/Fire Horseman+ Krampus+

Fire/Earth Wolf+
