Yellow 25 Plate armor?

Echelon · 10-16-2009, 06:27 PM

well ive noticed its not that far off level 35 - 40 ish armor def, and it has an extra manastone slot, wouldnt it just be better for me to buy level 25 yellow plate armor and L30 enchantment stones are so cheap and easier to ahold of and make some +10's? im sure that would easily last me till 45+ maybe higher what u guys think?

I picked up a pair of

Descendant's Gauntlets
Available for Level 25 or higher
Physical Def 141 Magic Resist 40
Evasion 57
Maximum HP +67 Physical Def +22
Parry +26
Manastone Socketing

I hadn't enchanted any Fabled items before and seen it was 25 I decided to try the lvl 30 enchantment stones, I bought 12 stones and the 3 enchantment stuck giving me a +4 to Physical Defense. I then got greedy and tried to increase it, burnt through about 6 stones and when it finally went back up to +1 I left it. You really need lvl 45-50 stones if you want to successful enchant all the way to +10, on my server the +40 stones are 100,000 each and the +50 are in the millions.

+10 on armor, short of being high value end game gear, is a complete waste.

+10 to a chest only offers you 6 more points of damage reduction. That is it, 6. If a mob was hitting you for 150, it now hits you for 144. When you consider what you have to spend to get that +10, it is an utter waste at level 25. This doesn't even take into account that level 50 enchants are not guaranteed to succeed on level 25 gold gear, you would need level 65s to even be comfortable.

Shields however...

Every enchant level is 2% more damage reduction. Percentage values actually scale where as fixed values do not. If you have the funds to get anything to +10, go with the shield before anything else, the ROI is MUCH better.
