Hey everyone, got a quick question on crafting.

I've crafted 4-star stuff now but I want to go back and change my weapon. I use Ascended Calibur but want a Cold Iron Carver.

Now, here's the thing. If I craft a Tempered Calibur from a Calibur at level 1 and I craft a Tempered Calibur from a Calibur at level 10, will the end result be equal? I know the dark blue in the stats bar is growth, but does that carry over starting at the new weapon's base stats?

If Volcanic Plate Helm and Mail have elemental resist, why doesn't Volcanic Plate Shield have any? They are the same set aren't they and the aren't the same set supposed to have the same properties?
Also, there are parts of Vanaduke fight that do deal Elemental Damage like lava tiles, Vanaduke's lava balls (not sure about this one but I think it does deal Elemental) and the bullets at his mask stage。

I have a heavy plate shield (No UV) as well as a grey owlite (UV Elemental MAX)

Will the plate stand up better in FSC (plan to go Volcanic) or would I be better off sticking with the Owlite?

As for everywere else.
Am I correct in assumeing the Plate will absorbe all attacks (damage types) more normal not withstanding, better than the Owlite will over all?

If it's not better over all should I just stick with the Owlite and drop the plate shield?

I'd rather not burn 800CE if It's not going to be of much use.

Any input is much apreciated.

I recently acquired a ash tail coat with a maximum elemental UV, I plan on making this into a vog coat, but before I do Im worried that it will be wasted since Vog's elemental defense is so high, Will my max ele uv giv it more then a High Uv or would both max out its elemental defense either way?

How's Antigua and it line?

and what if i use BlackHawk against Jelly?
Jelly is Strongly Resists Piercing and weak to Shadow.

so i don't know if it is good.

Greetings fellow knights!
I have an Ash Tail set along wit Twisted targe, and Ascended Calibur. I wish to uprade to Barbarous Thorn Shield, Skolver set and Leviathan blade. And here's my question: when i look at Leviathan blade now, with High attack bonus from my equipment, the attack power bar seems to be 100% full. So will the damage of the blade be increased, when my overall attack bonus increases to Extreme, or is it hard-capped now by the attack power bar, thus making further power attack upgrades pointless?

Could anyone give me a list of piercing shields? and also give me a recommendation please? :D

From the Wiki, it looks like the BAB just starts with max damage, while the Nitronome has to level up to get there.
But the Nitronome looks like it has a bigger blast radius.

Can someone tell me the pros and cons of each?

I know that this kind of thread has already been discussed many a time. The thing is I never found a thread that could answer all my questions about the differences between the Leviathan blade and the Cold Iron vanquisher. Could anyone who has experience or knowledge about eitheir blades please answer my questions?

I used to be able to solo all the way to FSC....but with the changes at the gate with Dark city and devilites I cant anymore.

What is the best equip and strategy to be able to solo and reach the gate to FSC ?

Thank you.
