[Tips & Tricks] How To, Questions & More

So, got two questions today.

1. I fused The Ember Lizard armor with Cloud king, and sadly got Barbarian Raiding gear(man that thing is crap, looks like it's one of the worst 4 star armors out there). Now, I have two other 4 star armors left: Ice Lich, and the Beringar armor(both NQ versions). would it be smart to fuse the Barbarian gear into either of them, or just level them separately and use them on their own?

2. When leveling armors, once it gets to a certain point, it obviously gets highly expensive. Would it make more sense to level the armors you're feeding into the main armor first, thus getting the bonus points, and saving money in the long run? As in, take 5 Snakeskin armors, feed 4 into the fifth one, then do that 3 more times, then take the resulting 4 level 8-10 snakeskin armors and feed them into the main armor? I imagine it's probably slightly less effective then just straight feeding, but if it's not a HUGE hit, it seems like it might be more cost-effective in the long run.

Hi there,

1. There are actually few things good that could come out of Barbarian into Ice Lich or Barbarian into Beringar. Barbarian into Ice Lich would give you mono fire, mono air, mono spirit, fire spirit, or air spirit. no possible good results there, you'd just get some old boss armor, maybe some rocfeather robes. Combining Barbarian and Beringar has can get you all the previous results, with the addition of Earth/Fire, Earth/Air or mono Earth. Nothing useful there either except a possibility of tempered battlegear (earth/fire). I'd suggest fusing Beringar into something with water when you get it, to get a possibility of moontide or clayplate. As for the Barbarian, I have no idea what you could do with it, except fusing with something to get back a mono fire or mono air, then trying for combustion again.

2. Most of the time, no. Higher level armors just give 1ehp more per level, so for the snakeskins, you're swapping 24ehp for 2 levels (more if you fuse snakeskin into basics). The only time I do something like this is near the end, when I need just a few more EHP to finish totally levelling the armor, but don't want to spend another 20+k. I'd use basics to fuse into my 50 EHP armor.

Hope that answers your questions!

Hi,

I got bkal and starmetal rainment, both kinda useless. If I were to use them to enhance any armor, will thry yield 90ep or 72 ep.

The only time it's economically feasible is when you have reached around level 75 in an epic. (by my very quick diner napkin math; which is poor). There is a strategy some people use that gets an uncommon up to level 11 so it's worth 20 points in on-element fusions, but it takes 1 uncommon, 8 basics, and two 4-set enhances. (500+2400+600+1200=4700). It is used because it takes half the time of snakeskins and gives the same if the element doesn't match snakeskins.

Best idea is Gabzor's. The standard leveling progression of an epic boss armor, for example, is basics to 12 or 20 depending on time and preference, snakeskins to 45/50 depending on same, fusion armors to 70. Feel free to substitute fusion boost armors for fusion armors if you have them.

For the idea of completeness the fusion armors are fire/air, fire/earth, spirit/wind, spirit/water. Fusing those basic armors together has a 100% chance at an armor that gives 41 base EP and 50 EP when elements match.

Anybody know this?

Everything for either side.

Honestly, no idea. I don't think it's ever been brought up before.

I thought starmetal counted as 'all elements'; but it's been brought to my attention that it matches no elements when being enhanced; so I would tend to think that it matches no elements when being used for enhancement.

That would be logical anyway; so that probably means the opposite is true :P

Does anyone know when the following armors were released?

Guardian's battlegear, tempered battlegear, combustion armor, clayplate mantle, boilerplate armor.

Combustion Armor was added on the 4th of July. No idea about the others though.
I'm just curious, why is this interesting you?

What about basic armors ◑︿◐

What is the best use for Nemesis armor after the week has paste. Enhancement fodder, or is it useful in fusions and such?

I believe nemesis is the equivalent of one silver star armors. Enhancement fodder I would say.

Enhancement if you need points. If memory serves me they give 41 base, 50 on element. They used to count as an uncommon (silver star) before they changed it to straight NEMESIS. Whether that means it fuses as a silver star, or it fuses as something different now, hasn't really been tested yet. If you want to fuse it, feel free. If you need EP, go for it. It's really up to you, since it isn't particularly useful for either.
