Hey guys what should I do I have a few choices to make. I am lvl 65 and have the blazebourne vanguard that is currently at lvl 41. I am unsure to lvl up my infernal lord to get the plus the max out the plus or lvl up blazebourne more.

- It was quite hard to finish lvl36 (using 8EE) is it possible to get at least to lvl42? (I can use 11gems to skip lvl43). I can use the 4/3 method for the last levels.

Unless you sleep very short, I suspect you might be short on epic energy to reach level 42.
I'm currently waiting for epic energy to regen for level 37 and my estimate is that I would need to do level 37-41 as 5/0 to have enough time/energy to reach 42. Even with my nice guild bonusses and lots of friends with good armors, I only give that a 50% chance. (would have easily gotten there if I wouln't have been away from my tablet for almost 2 days...)

If you haven't already, first unlock all your castle expansions and fill them with Training Fields. That Blaze will drain your resources (gold, armors/materials/fusion stones) like crazy. If you look at the spreadsheet, later levels enhancing 4 armors onto it costs 120K gold...
If you already have a decent earth armor, Blaze might be the better option to work on, even though leveling Infernal non-plus far enough and maxing Infernal+ will be cheaper than maxing Blaze...

Thanks for the answer Marco

I also think that I will be very short. But it makes me wonder on another thing....

Maybe I should go as far as possible (from 37 to 40 until the end is possible I think) and then skip to 42 (virtually) with 22 gems (I have 20, hope for new free offers). Then, I will have to spend 30 gems after the event but I think it's worth doing it because I have finished my SS+ so between an AoIR+ or a levi+ (+30 gems) the legendary is better^^Even if i'll get my 30 gems in a few weeks (I will have time to save money for enhancing^^)

Honestly, using level 51 knights in Misty Marsh is asking for a lot of heartache. I say build up your level while saving up for the expansion. Crius+ is great at Writhing Cascades and AA+ is good for Caballero Desert. In between leveling up, make sure to hunt for snakeskins for upgrading your next armor

If you are sticking with Big 4, you will need to level up a third to make Misty MArsh easier to defeat. I vote LF+ due to spirit > earth. Plus in Zephyr, LF is more useful than HH. Once you get to Citadel, HH is great, but we are getting too far ahead of ourselves.

Also get some strong friends to help you out in Marsh and beyond.

Once you get to level 70, feel free to apply to my guild

Hmm ok. I have to admit though I've never really focused on leveling per se, I've just done quests and worked on getting the big 4 while pushing through the maps. For leveling, would it be best to do Writhing/Caballero on Normal so I can maximize my clears? Or should I try the harder difficulties?

Edit: I should also note that I'm actually level 61 I just hadn't updated my signature. Not sure if that changes anything XD

Any suggestions on which order i should max the bigger 4?

[Moritsume]

Just noticed he said bigger 4 not big 4 lol >_>

Hi guys I am lvl 32 and right now have 1 of the Big 4 + versions (AA+). I just got it to lvl25 (for the new look), and plan on crafting more of the +versions of the rest of the Big 4. My question is how do you go about enhancing all 4 at a time? Do you focus on maxing 1 and then go to the next, or maybe get to 25 with all, then to 50 with all, etc?

Level 61 is much better than 51 to go through the Marsh for sure I still think you need a 3rd good armor (lvl 30+) since you will be using 3 knights. Even if it is HH (weak for marsh).

Leveling up will make that much easier to complete a stage. IIRC, I completed Marsh around lvl 70 with 3 out of big4 maxed.
I usually level on the highest stage where I can one hit KO the minions, yet have enough HP (between the 3 knights) to kill the boss in 1 run. Better yet if I can get 2 or more runs before all 6 knights are exhausted. If you have high level friends, you can pair 1 almost dead knight with 1 or 2 friends to get yet another run. Repeat until you are out of friends and HP.

Marco_ probably has the most efficient way to level up, though

Getting materials for Swamp+, Infernal+ and Dark Prince+ will be a bigger bottleneck than leveling them, so in whatever order you manage to craft them. Roc(+): only if you can't get another armor with same element, but better stats (boss armor, Sky Guardian etc.) .

Max first whichever helps the most at the location you're working on. If you slowly level all of them at the same time, then it will take a long time before any of the big 4 actually have better stats than the armors you're using now.

Thanks Marco. Since AA+ is at 25 I might as well try to enhance the last 25 levels to max it. To make crafting/enhancing more efficient should I make a total of 4 Armorsmiths so I can craft/enhance 4 armors at once?

That will really hamper your gold income. I'm not sure what expansions you've purchased yet. I had 3 armorsmiths for quite a while but when I reached the 500k expansion, I had to cut back. I dropped to 1 armorsmith to get built up to buy that expansion. That really hurt so with the 500k expansion, I added back 1 armorsmith to be at 2. This seems to be a good balance at this point. I can still work on snakeskins for leveling armor but the natural bottleneck there means that I don't spend gold too fast and I can still save for the 1 million expansion. I currently use 2 armorsmiths, one dragon's nest when the quest came up to do it and the rest all training fields. The nests and tf's are all at level 2 except one tf at level 3. No gems to do more.

3 armorsmiths also works fine most of the time and a 4th armorsmith costs 20 gems. Those gems can be better used to help make a Training Field level 3 or (lower priority) an armorsmith level 3.
When you start working on level 70 or level 99 armors and join a guild and donate gold, gold often gets more of a bottleneck than crafting capacity, so better to add another Training Field than a 4th smith.

[Hotfuzz84]

Thanks again guys. I just opened up the 80k expansion and have 5 Lvl 2 Training fields. Good to know the 4th armorsmith costs 20 gems as I would rather upgrade my fields. I think I will stick with 2 Armorsmiths for now to try and keep the gold income up.

Ah, what a difference level 3s make then... At that point I had 3 smiths being busy most of the time while gold was still piling up from my TF3s and I think I unlocked the last 3 expansions within a 2 week period. I then thought: "hey, gold is piling up, so I should add a 4th smith." A few days later guilds were added on Android and I scrapped the 4th smith at a 20 gem loss to replace it with a TF2, since for guilds gold trumps everything.
