At the end of the day, the variety of buildings is only useful for a little bit of quest rewards. Optimally, you'll want all training grounds (except one monster's nest, because of that one square), your compliment of armorsmiths, and IMO, at your point, it's worth saving up for them and selling things to make room for them.Quote:

I know enhancing the Big Four+ armors is the way to go for lvl 50 but if I am already lvl 49 without them is it still useful to enhance them?[/quote]Quote:
Crius+ lvl 30 Jian's nemesis lvl 30 mantle of the beast lvl 11
monks vestements lvl 10 riverstone mantle lvl 14 sasquatch nemesis lvl 11
atlantean + lvl 12 embersteel lvl 1 flowstone lvl 9 (2) forgemasters lvl 1 and lvl 14
hydra hunter lvl 9 living flame lvl 1 sirens nemesis lvl 9 steam wizard lvl 16
stormrage lvl 9 vinewood carapace lvl 1 wind monarch lvl 6
So, here's the mistake I think most players are making - if you want to play optimally. If you want to collect a lot of neat looking stuff, do that. But if you want to get the most bang for your buck, a lot of armors you have on your list aren't worth owning. Forgemasters, vinewood, and wind monarch, I think, are inferior stat growths.
How I generally go about it is I look at the stat spreadsheet and look at the total number of stat points an armor will have. Bigger is better, to be simple. So Admiral's Battleworn Regalia+ has 2,055 total stat points, for example. It will beat the pants off of Battlesuit's Nemesis Garb, which has 972. However, you can't just pick up a top tier armor, it takes a mid tier armor to get them. Crius, LF, AA, and HH are the big 4 because they have really strong stat growth, are accessable, and useful. However, some Nemesis armors are fine in their own right. But it's kind of key to get them to a max/high level, to really get the benefit of their superior stats. If you're filling in a lot of armors, you'll have a lot of moderate stat gear, and you can only field 3 knights at a time - so the other 10 are doing you nothing but holding you down.
... and that was a little less focused/clear than I meant it to be. Sleep deprived. Sorry.
