I have a darkness round pauldron chain mail (15max roll, 29dura)
and an avenger rose plate armor (type P) (20dura)
I was wondering which armor I should enchant and use it as my main armor.
Also, Round pauldron's repair cost is 6,170g at edern
and rose plate's repair cost is 10,509g at edern and 7,379 at the elf guy in tail.
I'm priorietizing on several things
1. Dura. I will be upgrading to a dura based path so idk if i should care about this 9 dura difference.
2. Repair costs. This would be pretty important since I will be using this armor in every battle i go to, but I think I can afford repairs well. It's just that sometimes I'm a jew.
3. Look. I like the rose plate armor look much more than round pauldron. And don't say just robe it, sometimes I like it without robes.
4. Damage performance. Darkness would do better than avenger normally, but I might go pot poison for that 20str in avenger. If I use avenger, when I'm fighting casually I would be 3 max lower, but when I'm fighting for realz, secret mission, golden apple, etc, I would pot poison for that 8 max and I would net 6max higher than darkness.

I'd put it on the Avenger, b/c you get that bonus in deadly too iirc. Darkness kills your defense a little too, so that's a turn off for me :(

Durability wise, 20+ durability is a lot of durability for an armor. For Repair Costs, you don't repair armor that often if you take it off when you don't go to battle.
Damage performance? Can you tell the difference between the +3 max damage? I would say avenger might has more uses due to the +10% critical if you WM yourself to deadly. The lack of -3 defense might make the heavy armor more effective, but chances are you won't notice that either.

hehe so I guess I should go with rose plate.
I wanted to do that, but I was discouraged by the repair cost considering how I repaired my round pauldron at nerys cuz I'm such a jew >_<.
On the side note, should I bless my armor to avoid too much of a dura loss?

Err...I always bless every single equip I use. Dura goes down a ton faster when it's unblessed. o_o I would think that the cost of holy water you need to use to bless your armor would be less than repairing every point you lose from it not being blessed unless you die extremely often.

You should bless everything to cut the dura lost by at least a half...
At the very least, prevent it from dropping in a dungeon followed by a disconnect! :lol:

I always keep my armors blessed. Things like Robes/cloth hats do not get blessed.
So yea, keep it blessed :p
