Armor Leveling Research. Please Contribute.

[RadLonghammer]

Fellow Knights;

I did something last night that I wouldn't recommend anyone do. I leveled a Silver Star, Uncommon Mono Armor (Wing Warrior) all the way to the max using only one (and two in the later stages) Basic Air Armors at a time.

I did this for a reason, though. I wanted a better understanding of exactly how armor levels. We all know that armor levels more slowly as it approaches its maximum level, and those of us who use the spreadsheet know that Uncommon Monos (and Nemesis) achieve their max stats when given a total of 194 Enhancement Points (EP). To the best of my knowledge, however, no one has taken the time to break down the specifics of exactly what it takes to each level.

Let me share what I found. I'll first state the Level Jump (1-2, 2-3, 3-4, etc.). Next I'll state the EP required. Then, I'll state the total cumulative EP used up to that level. Finally, I'll state the ammount of gold (per slot) needed to enhance upward from that level.


1-2 4 EP 4 tot EP (150 gold)
2-3 4 EP 8 tot EP (200 gold)
3-4 4 EP 12 tot EP (250 gold)

Obviously, I can't guarantee 100% accuracy of the above, as the data collection is imperfect. With that tiny little level bar, anytime I noted (in my research) that an enhancement took me to level 18.15, anything to the right of the decimal is my best guess.

Still, I think this is pretty darned close to dead on.

I think it's worth noting that beyond Lvl 20, the speed at which the increases happen begins to accelerate. We can logically predict that the same would be the case in higher (L50, L70) armors.

I'm certainly not going to spend the piles of gold it would take to create a similar chart for the L50s and L70s, but I AM going to take note of all my further enhancing activities (how many levels I gained for how many EP) and see if I can't apply the info to what we've learned above, and perhaps suss out accurate leveling charts for the 50s and 70s.

I hope that anyone else doing the same will post their results in this thread. Perhaps we can work together to compile enough data to get an accurate read on things.

Nice thread, I will try to use 4 2stars armors to make the next nemesis directly to the max! That must be cool, I will post a picture then

[Justice711]

Haha.. Too rich for my blood...

[Raistmar]

Wow for one person to do so much work, it's amazing.

[600RR]

Awesome job on the research, I was actually wandering how these works today at work, so glad you spent the money and not me I must say!

Thanks a bunch man!

[Slevinn]

Another proof that we have a great growing communitiy here. Great job RadLonghammer.

[Catastr0phy]

Radlong made some huge contributions already by figuring out and writing down data. We need to sticky some things of him i guess xD

[Keymoe]

Nice. I would contribute but I can't count for **** as my bar always starts somewhat a quarter of the way to full and the it takes 2 enhancements of full snakeskin to upgrade the armour I'm working on enhancing right now. (Lv.68 Sky Guardian)

[Eloade]

Two question :

First, i'm lvl 63 & farm snakskin for upgrade but i try too loot stars fusion or key, my question, what level you farm, normal ? mighty ? valor ? etc...

The second ^^ where can i edit à signature for my post lol ?

Keymoe,

You actually HAVE contributed. That's useful information.

If your status bar started at 25% when you were at level 67, and two full (4x) Snakeskin enhancements brought you to Level 68.25 (quarter of the bar full again), you've gained approximately one full level for 8 snakeskins. Since we know that Sky Guardian(Spirit/Air) and Snakeskin (Earth/Water) don't share any enhancement points, we know that each Snake was worth 20 enhancement points, and that 8 x 20 = 160.

So, you've shared with us that leveling your Sky Guardian (a L70) armor, from L 67-68 required approximately 160 EP.

That's useful info, and the more people that are willing to note an share that information, the faster we can gain a full understanding of how various categories of armors level, and what it takes to get them there!

Thanks!

I don't have a lot of good friends so if you guys could help a lot if you sent me a friend request I need help trying to get past the sunken carrack, and also what level does a 4 star armor have to be to get full evolution thanks I'm a noob

Harvey took some pretty thorough notes while leveling a four star legendary armor to the max. Here's what he found. Be sure to thank Harvey Guo, as it's his research, not mine:
