I have an Elemental Hood and Elemental Cloak both with high elemental UVs on them.

Question 1. Given the fact that they have high elemental UVs, would it be better to make into Divine or Grey Feather set?
Or a mix of the two sets?

Question 2. I'd like in estimate on what the Elemental Hood and Cloak with a high elemental UV would be worth.

Thanks in advance,

There is a big jump between 2* and 3*, I've noticed. You pay 150 for a 0*, 3000 for a 1*, 7500 for a 2*, and then suddenly 35000 for a 3*. (At least at the bazaar which has horrible prices) Not as big a price difference between say 4* and 5*, but up until 3* everything is affordable. This is nice because you have a much larger weapon selection to choose from, so you can buy some cheap gear before you pick some lines to upgrade.

Here's my current 2* items:

Guns:
Blaster
Autogun
Firotech Alchemer

Swords:
Cutter
Brandish
Snarble Barb
Flourish

Armor:
Vita Suit Plus

So I was thinking, just for the lulz, of farming up an Ancient Plate set and going full bomber with either the recon shield or guardian shield with a few CTR trinkets. Given that bombs are unaffected by ASI buff/debuffs, it only leaves the medium movement speed debuff to deal with.

The question is, how much would that movement speed limit me? I know that the movement speed buff on the mercurial set is apparently almost imperceptible, but I haven't heard much about the ancient plate's debuffs since most people focus on the ASI debuff.

In Firestorm Citadel on the way to Vanaduke, the 2 main types of damage are fire (elemental) from the environment and Shadow/Normal from the Zombies. It seems like zombies are the bigger threat, so Snarbolax with it's shadow protection would be better than Vog with its elemental protection. Also, there is the bonus sword damage of Snarbolax, which I consider to be more valuable than the attack speed boost of Vog. Any thoughts?

When I start to master the FSC, I want to begin to make some shadow lair sets. What I'm thinking of so far is:

Shadow Gloaming Wild Woods

Helm: Deadshot Chapeau (some shadow defense, and a damage bonus against undead)
Armor: Deadly Virulisk (piercing and poison defense)
Shield: Dread Skelly Shield or Crest of Almire if I'm lazy (I'm assuming I'll probably only need to be really worried about howitzer bullets, so the shadow defense should be nice)

I'm not too worried about weapons; I think a Polaris, BTB, DA, and Shivermist Buster should be fine.

Shadow Royal Jelly Palace

so according to the wiki "4" points of curse resistance is enough for only 1 weapon to be cursed, I have a 5* helm with low curse res and just bought a 3* armor with high curse res, which should amount to 4, but I still get 2 weapon cursed :(

If I add a 1* curse trinket, it goes down to 1 weapon, same if I equip my 4* silvermail with low curse UV.

Please someone can assure me/confirm that if I upgrade the armor to 4/5* I'd get only 1 weapon cursed

So I decided to be a swordsman/gunner. I'll be weilding a BTB + Polaris.
Any armor sets + shield recommendations to complement my weapons?

I noticed that my nightblade does both shadow and neutral damage. How does this work?

This is forum is directed to the lack of shadow weapons in the game. Out of all 5* weapons, there are 5 Elemental Swords, 5 Elemental Guns 6 Elemental Bombs, 4 Piercing Swords, 5 piercing guns (Antigua series is ultimately piercing), and 3 tier 3 bombs. In the shadow realm, there are 2 shadow swords, 2 shadow guns, and 1 shadow bomb. With the addition of the shadow lair especially, there is a legitimate use for more shadow weapons (ice queen). This post is only to bring attention to the lack of shadow weapons compared to other damage types.

So i'm in-between tier 2 and tier 3 right now, and have been playing some tier 1 lockdown using some old eqiupment. I currently have a fencing jacket, frostbreak helm, static bomb ( the one from the starter pack) and a searing edge. I was wondering what opinions were on the benefits of the jacket with the bonus vs. a 1 star armor with no bonus, and also just generally on what tier 1 stuff is best for lockdown. Thanks for any advice.
