Hello
I currently am planning on getting the
SET 1
- Valkyrie Helm
- Vog Cub Coat
- Volcanic Plate Shield.

Then after doing some exploring of gear on the wiki I found some gear that might work better then the set I'm currently aiming for.
SET 2
- Dragon Scale Helm
- Radiant Silvermail
- Volcanic Plate Shield

Do you think I should transition to Set 2 and forget about Set 1 right now?
Do you think I should wait till I get 4* gear with the current set I'm aiming for and gain access to tier 3 then transition to Set 2?
Or should I just forget about Set 2 all together?

A few times I've played with some friends geared at 5*, and they run around kicking ass with Shivermist Busters and Ash of Agni's. Prior to having seen them in action I had made myself a Toxic Vapourizer Mark II, figuring the indiscriminate poison explosion would be very handy against healers, and a good starting attack against the Jelly King. However, they advise me against using it, and I'm curious now.

Also I never see anyone use the Spine Cone series much. How useful is it? And does the 5* hologram thing do anything?

I use full skolver + barb shield to get max damage and it works great, but I take a [crap] ton of dmg from each hit in FSC and something like 9 seconds of fire. I have been playing like this for ages so I am used to it and I very rarely die, but it would be nice to make life a little easier.

The main reason I die in FSC is from lagging into fire pits and the lava things.

Fire resist sounds like a good option, however I believe elemental defense reduces damage taken from fire and would be a better overall UV to have.

So I finally got all my 4* gear and I am ready to start upgrading to 5*'s.

I'm a non-paying player so I figure it will take me about a week to upgrade each piece of gear. So whats the best order to start upgrading? Shield-> Cap-> Armor -> Swords?

My gear right now is:

Owlite
Ash Tail Cap
Ash Tail Coat
Ascended Calibur
Faust
Avenger
Alchemer (2* Ice series - I never use this anymore).

I'm going Vog for what its worth. Haven't really considered FSC runs yet so JK and runs with lots of arenas in T2 are still my main goal since I need crowns for buying the energy for crafting.

I feel the magic hood line is underrated. It has normal/elemental and status resists to shock and fire, two of the most annoying things in the game. Is it unpopular because it has no weapon bonuses?

Lets say i have a max ele helm, would any other equip with ele UV stack and give further ele defense?
Does the same go with status resists?

EDIT: Moved to The Bazar

I recently made both an umbra driver and a polaris

and both of them did / do the same dmg at level 1 as they do at level 10

Is it worth spending days crafting 2* stuff til you get a great or useful UV on it then venture into the clockworks or Just go with 1 without any and ignore UV unless u by chance get 1 while making it til a 5*~?

I realize that it's dependent on what gear you have but in your opinion how would you rank the triket modules??

what would you say is the best SWORD one?
and what would you say is the best gun one?

which would you pick if you had to pick only 1 sword and 1 gun?

heere they are for reference:

Bomb Charge Time Reduction: Low ★★★★☆
Bomb Charge Time Reduction: Medium ★★★★★
Bomb Damage Bonus: Low ★★★★☆
Bomb Damage Bonus: Medium ★★★★★

Handgun Charge Time Reduction: Low ★★★★☆
Handgun Charge Time Reduction: Medium ★★★★★
Handgun Attack Speed Increase: Low ★★★★☆
