Yeah, I recently got the Antigua, after killing the Jelly King for the nth time.

And so I am faced with two things. Firstly, my new gun is awesome. Secondly, which way should I upgrade it?

I am looking for an unbiased view of the advantages and disadvantages of both paths. I got enough of 'You should totally get the peacemaker, the sentenza is crap!' and various other things.

So I came to here, so that I might get a really good view of both.

Remember, I want the overview to be totally unbiased. Totally. No 'X is the best and Y sucks'.

Did I mention I want an unbiased view?

hey i'm pretty keen when it comes to tanking with just swords... but is there a good shield or weapon that provides a little bit more defence? xD i have a horned owlite shield with medium curse and low poison boost. and max dusker , with tempered calibur and nightblade... any sugjestions for tier 4 loadout?

I'm a swordsman, planning on getting full Skolver and Vog sets for piercing and elemental defense, but what about shadow? Armor of the Fallen looks good with its ASI boost, but its penalty vs fiend kills it (fiends deal Shadow, so that is when you would use it). Valkyrie set is weak to fire. Divine set looks good with its elemental as well, but do you lose anything giving up Normal defense in T3 where nothing(?) deals Normal damage?

I got told that the plague needle is not worth getting, against a blitz needle.
The BN got one more bar of damage, but doesn't the poison effect multiply your (and your party) damage?

I'm currently running with:
Nameless Hat
Divine Mantle

CTR high) Hail Driver
CTR med) Biohazard
Fiend med) Callahan

Elite Trueshot module X2

So every gun got med-ultra CTR, VH DMG, med ASI.

The BN/PN will replace the callahan. Which one is better, between the two?

need some help here. i want to make an ironmight plate shield (for general use). i have 2 plate shields, one has UV fire med, the other has UV fire low + UV shadow low. I want to choose one shield to upgrade into an ironmight plate shield. which one is better for me?

I was wondering, is skolver the best as far as piercing defense is concerned. Or would something like royal jelly armor give better defense?

i recently crafted an electron charge, which proved pretty much useless. was it a bad idea to craft it?
later, I sold it for 3.5k cr.. again, was it worth it? I mean, should I have kept it and upgraded it?

I recently crafted an autogun with an ASI High. I'm really torn between selling it or upgrading it through to a Blitz for Vanaduke. Would it be better to sell it and keep crafting for a CTR bonus? I'm just unsure of how much the ASI can help when it comes to charge attacking, which brings up another question... Do you use the charge on a Blitz needle pretty much all the time? Any advice would be well appreciated :3

Crafted a Wolver Cap with Freeze low and Stun low, wondering how much it would sell for.

5* items cost twice energy as 4* items cost and more than twice the recipe cost, plus 5* recipes can only be found at depth 23 while 4* recipes can be found at D23 and D13
so how much r 5* items better than 4* items? And is it best to get a good veraity of 4* items instead of getting a 5* set?
