'Kay. I'm going for my first 5* equip/weapon.

I'm currently doing a lot of T2 runs instead of T3 even though I have 4* stuff. (wussing out 'cause I don't think I'm good enough for Vana, yet)
Here's what I'm going to get:

- CIV (Cold Iron Vanquisher)
- Grey Owlite Shield
- Divine Veil
- Grey Feather Mantle

I have all of the 4* equips/weapon of this set.

Which should I craft first? (Remember, T2 has -1/-2 if level 1-4/5-10 5* equip reduction)

Thanks for reply and help in advance!

P.S. I do Roarmulus runs a lot; more than Jelly King runs.

What Dark Ritual?

Hate to say it, but you might want to change some stuff

Get a Leviathan instead.
GFM is ok... But some normal UVs on the divine veil (and hopefully mantle) would be better. Remember, stun is bad! (Althiygh fire shock and all is worse. Oh, look what the divine mantle has! xD)
You may want to get a Vog/Skolver coat first. (Get some fire UVs on the Skolver if you get that)

In order, for what you have, you should get...

Divine Veil
CIV/Levi
Grey Feather Mantle
Grey Owlite Shield

Woo, thanks

Thanks! : D

I was going to get that order, too. Just wanted to make sure someone thought same way.

I'll sacrifice better damage for good looks (CIV), you know. <:
(I think they re-vamped Levi; it has a Soul Chain!)

I'll try to live without having half of Normal Damage.

Craft them in the order you

Craft them in the order you have listed, and keep your civ if you like its looks, if you have the 4* equip of it, you cant get levi anyway.

Youll get some damage from the sword upgrade that why its first. The shield is more important than armor so it goes second. Your final helm is different to the one you currently have so it goes third to have the defense you want already. And finally the armor since its 4* is basically the same. Since you use a sword, if you have the money I'd suggest vog coat, but if you like the looks of the mantle go ahead, just don't get hit by stun, and if you do, run away as if poisoned.

The order doesnt matter if youll still run t2 though :P

Thanks

I changed the order up a bit (and yeah, I have 4* stuff of all, so I can't make a Levi):

Divine Veil
CIV
Grey Owlite Shield
Grey Feather Mantle

I say, not in regards to waht

I say, not in regards to waht u have, because we all have our own preferences, but go for sheild first if going to 5 star.

Reason is the jump from a 4 star to 5 star for sheild is much better than damage u can give.

I went vog set, owlite series, DA, and polaris. (only after i ended up with silversix)

Truth is, skolver and vog are best sets for vana runs.

Suggestion

Swords don't usually have better stats when going from 4-5*, especially in Tier 2. Some weapons like the Levi has more knockback, but its damage isn't higher until the last strata. So I would actually upgrade your CIV last.

I suggest prioritizing equipment that receives a bonus when going from 4-5*, then the shield, then any other armors, then weapons. A caveat to that is that bombs should be prioritized before shields, if one is a bomber.

So this is the order I recommend:
Divine Veil (Fiend bonus at 5*)
Grey Owlite Shield (5* shields are much better than 4* shields)
Grey Feather Mantle (Armor with no additional bonuses)
CIV (Little difference from 4*)
