So I recently acquired a valencia gauntlet and have no enchants on it. I can't decide what I want for the gauntlets, so i'm gonna need some help.

Enchants I've already thought of
Fox - Possibility
Maltreat - Possibility
Corundum - Not happening
Diamond - Not happening
Metal Needle - Not happening
Giant - Possibility
Peaceful - Possibility

So yeah, I don't want any exploration related enchants. I'm aiming for damage increasing enchants if that helps, and i'm a hybrid between all attack types.

Feel free to help me out.

Thanks.

How about Burst Knight as a suffix? :)

Good idea, now how much do they cost?

Based on what I usually see, the weapons with the enchant are around the 300k-400k mark. If buying them doesn't sound like a sensible option, you can try hunting them from Volcano Horned Wild Boars and Volcano Wolves in Zardine.

You can use Maltreat, Quartz, or Topaz.
They all add +5 max.

The problem is that Quartz and Topaz require exploration levels while Maltreat takes off some HP.

As for suffix, giant is okay but it only adds +5 str.
If you want even more str, you can try putting tragic on all your equipment (adds +10 str when potion poisoned).

You can also hunt the burst knight swords as stated above if you don't want to get potion drunk every time you dungeon (I'm assuming you can't afford one as you said diamond/corundum isn't an option).
However keep in mind that the enchant for burst knight adds 1-10 strength, meaning you might cycle through 4 enchants just to get +5 or +7.

Maltreat if you don't want to explore. Burst knight or giant for suffix. Tragic hero set works too.

Sacrificial is GREAT if you dont have High rank Smash.
I love sacrificial and i am a melee build.

Might want to use Wild Boar also if you're a complete hybrid, since it only requires RC Alchemy Mastery for 1~3 Dmg, and its a suffix ;D

I use Fox and Wild Boar on my gauntlets. They're easy to enchant (rB and C?) and give decent damage. Fox seems easy to come by and Wild Boar can be found with some 5-50 wild boars lol. I've found a wild boar enchant randomly from just a few kills. Maybe if you're lucky you'd get +7 max +2 min from a fox wild boar val gauntlet.

for my val i did maltreat courageous. i prefer courageous over giant because it doesn't minus int~ me being a magic melee hybrid. i recommend burst knight only if you're making an explosion set. it's better to burst knight a dustin vambrace though, because it already has 2 expl resist. i had both vambrace and val before the crash.
maltreat courageous val gaunts => val gaunts are needed for stomp resist.
maltreat burst knight dustin vambrace => for a sexy explosion set.

I recommend burst knight but you have to roll something above 7. Meaning that you might spend more than one attempt just to roll a good number.

Fox + Giant if you cannot afford / earn better enchants. Metal Needle/Corundum/Diamond + Burst Knight/Peaceful if you can.

As a Giant, Metal Needle + Peaceful is a no-brainer for me (tho I still need an r9 bridge enchant for my peaceful ES).

Oh, and I have only rolled lower than 8 STR once on a BK enchant, but I usually only got 1-2 explosion resist. If anyone is gathering rates on those, I've gotten 1/8, 1/9, 2/3, 2/8, and 4/8 in 5 enchants. I hated giving up 9 STR on my boots, but I needed 2 points of explosion resist to get the set bonus with my 4/8 BK Dustin Helm, freeing up my gloves for Peaceful. They have Healer for now - I traded my old 6 dur MN/BK gloves for 10 dur 2/2 MN/healer ones.

I may eventually build a set with Burgundy Bear instead of Metal Needle, but that ES is rare as hell unfortunately.
