wut is the armor on my avatar called?

I've been learning about crafting and about how an item has a chance to get a Unique Variant when it is being crafted/upgraded. From what I understand, that means that item could get multiple UVs at the end of its alchemy line. However, how does something at the beginning of a line get 3 UVs? I know there's a merchant that will do this for you, but the price for one of those tickets is 200k+ crowns. Is there another way or am I missing/misunderstanding something?

If you know, please tell me how to remove Auto Aim. Because I doesn't like it!

A fev days earlier I went to Bazaar to craft some stuff. I havent got enough money so i sold four 2*(blast bomb, flourish) item at the sword merchant and it was like the game doesnt respond after i pressed the confirm button, so I started to click around the screen and when I clicked at my weapons(to place them back to invetory, the buttons were still gray) they disappeared. I checked my internet and I was able to sell a material and get money for that.
I dont know what it was please write your opinion.

Ok so I just got a hunting blade, and with that i use my faust, Heavy pulsar, or swift flourish. My damage is now very very low. I stopped using hunting blade and it's still low, I used to be about 2-5k damage. So my questions are:

1. How does damage work?

2. Which combination of those four swords and gun should I use to be best?

3. Something else here.

Hi guys. I've been looking around but I haven't seen anyone shield bumping in-game or on any youtube vids I've been running through.
It makes me wonder if anyone actually does this.

So do you shield bump regularly? If so, could you point me to a nice vid or something of it in action?

Thanks.
