If only you could give me the extra feathers you get but trading isn't implemented yet, or even going to be implemented.
Thanks for the tips, now trying to get the plus LF so I can focus on caballero and finally focus on saving up gold and maxing the big 4 all out before sunken carrack. Or I couldnwork my way up whole maxing out my big 4 before misty marsh. Everyone seems hyped to get SS then SS+.
I like all the info I just have a question.
Is the Roc God always stingy in dropping his feathers or am I just unlucky? 10+ kills and 2 feathers.
Should I grind out the +Roc the stats arn't that great? (No sky gaurdian for me still need gems for TF)
I am now able to get the epic boss armors not the + just the normals but are they worth the cost?
Thanks,
Nec
If such a beast exists, it's possible only when you still have roots required to complete the quest: I can pretty much anecdotally confirm that with the gathering portion of the quest completed roots sort of suck (armor not crafted).Quote:

In fact, for two days straight I received virtually nothing but roots with the quest active; however, I *might* have needed roots at that time to complete the quest through part of it, I honestly wasn't tracking it that carefully as strangely enough I actually was looking for the undercard hydra scales without having to go back to the Desert.
Now though, with the quest still active (but no more roots required, crafting another SS is just a waste of time and resources for me, to be done when I get a 3rd or 4th AS and don't have a 70 to level sooner rather than later), yesterday's and today's haul I can see what everyone's been complaining about: 3 x hydra scales every single drop.
Either this game goes in streaks or they quietly nerfed drop rates in normal (as my Snakeskin farming rate in normal mode has been abysmal since yesterday too, not sure); I think the former is more likely than the latter. Sadly though for a blanket confirmation that quests being active help, I rather doubt it. Certainly wasn't the case with Phoenix feather farming as Crash has been complaining about for me :).
Think of grinding mats as a way of leveling up and you will have found your "purpose". God knows how many people try to take the expensive shortcut and still ask questions like "where's the best place to level up in?" They've in fact found it but were too blind to notice.
which is better: HH+ or LF+?
now i have crius+ and atlantean+ and i want to lvl up only one more of the big four
Which is better: rock, paper or scissors?..Quote:

You should level up both of them. You'll use them, even after you get level 70 armors. And they're easy to max. But if you had to pick one, go with HH+.Quote:

All LF+ can really do anything against are the earth/spirit combos since all of the spirit/air combinations have much higher stats than LF+.Quote:

Probably pretty good odds. And it's possible for your luck to be far, far worse ;).Quote:

No theyre purely just for looksQuote:

Pretty reasonable on any difficulty. I still think higher difficulty isn't worth it if you're farming materials to craft unless you want to max exp as well. For the players that can't handle HC without a friend, it's better to max exp and play on higher difficulty while farming with them. Even on higher difficulties, bosses still troll a lot.Quote:

Well, LF+ saved my ass on Notus. It was functioning as my main armor, as sad as that may be. But hey, Notus is a fantastic armor :).Quote:

Which leads me to opinions on leveling Boilerplate Armor v. Hydra Hunter Plus?
At 50:
Boilerplate: 740/940
Hydra Hunter Plus: 777/795
I know the boiler plate can go beyond 50, but if the EP to get beyond it before I start getting the 3 star pluses make it prohibitive, I may as well stick to Hydra Hunter Plus.
Its tempting to level boiler plate because it stays ahead in stats all the way up to lvl 50, but i don't know if the cost of leveling it up will be much more, EP wise.
It takes almost double the Ep to get the 3 star to level 50.Quote:

Did you mean enhance? Personally I kept doubles of all my big 4 just to avoid the "this is the only armor this knight can wear" message.Quote:

But I'm not sure if I should cause I sometimes use the regular lvl 15 armor for the stages as backup even though they don't last long in a few hits.
It's probably best used to enhance one of the later levels of the AA+, since IIRC a level 15 AA is worth 24 + (15-1) = 38 enhancement points.Quote:

Laugh, true; however, that is not me. I'm perpetually broke in this game: enhancement is a beast that must be fed.Quote:

For some reason, my knights didn't heal during the time that I wasn't logged on! Was offline for just over a day and my units were at the same health (1hp) as they were when I logged out! Was really annoying as had to wait 2 hours to finish the round I was on!!
Any reason why?
If you "x-ed" out of the game(not "exited") in the middle of a battle, you won't heal.Quote:

Once your economy is decked out, and you've finished leveling and content progression as far as you want, then there's plenty of spare resources to start pushing the higher quality armors.
Finally it depends what your goals are, if you're just looking to get to 100 quickly and then look around (like I did), the path is Big 4 to 50 then ride SS+ to level 100 on exp runs in HC norm (mighty might actually be better depending on targets) in my estimation.
Fact is the Big 4 will serve you very well even past 100 for a lot of things; they may not be the ultimate end-game armor, but their cost and stats justify their being initial tier of armor to shoot for.
Hmm, in the middle of a battle, the only "X" there is should be the "flee" one.Quote:

You put it way better than I did. Words weren't forming correctly in my brain when I wrote that :p.Quote:

If you say, hit the "home button" on your phone in the middle of a battle(not in-between rounds), you won't heal.Quote:

You're then out of the fight and in the "overworld", but it still shows a marking at the location and stage where you bailed and you can then continue at the round where you left off. (also very handy when you're short on special attack energy to hit the boss: fleeing preserves special attack energy, but heals all monsters in that round again, so you can (ab)use that to get the extra 1 or 2 hits to fill the bar)Quote:

Made thing simple to understand like example you enter guardian crossing Normal mode there are 5 stagesQuote:

Not the home button, the X button. It's in the top right hand corner of your screen.Quote:

I notice the countdown timer that all the friends i used are the same so it means they all reset at the same time.
Do you know if they start counting 24 hrs when you used your 1st friend or the game has a specific timer to count the 'day' ?
thanks
