  For Empowered Enhancement stones, I would say the best places are Boat 7 and boat 8. For some reason, Boat 8 seems to have a high drop rate for them. . .and boat 7 monsters drop an item called Mana Reformer, which can be used to make Empowered Stones. Also, you're on West now correct? I have a Karok around level 38. You can add me if you want so we can party sometime, his IGN is xBrolyx. Also, what class are you? I'm going to go on a limb and say an Evie :D?

  
  
  This game-lingo; I'm guessing "Boat 7 and Boat 8" are the 7th and 8th boat you have access to, or Episode 7 and 8 boats :what:
  
  I'll be sure to add you right now, and you got it :awesome:

  Added :awesome:
  
  I tried to solve a problem I had on my own, and it worked!
  Basically, I couldn't change the settings past "Lowest", so I had to redownload + reinstall the thing all over again.
  
  Oh my goodness; after playing this whole time on Lowest, everything looks so :blood:
  
  

  - - -

  
  
  And now: When doing fights, about how much durability is lost on all equipment?
  
  If there are specifics like there are in Mabi, I would like to know it - if not, then how much do you lose on average on regular/longer runs?

  Quick answer as I'm in a bit of a rush.
  You lose about 1-3 points of durability per "room" (load screen). Longer runs have 3-5 rooms.

  Maybe Herro would know how to set me up with the EU servers, since I can have the correct IP to play, but I myself don't know how to access them.

  Interesting, from I assumed and heard that it depends on how much you fight/how often you are hit :what:
  
  Thank you for the answer!
  And it seems that the Perilous Ruins don't decrease my durability at all.

  Or I could try to come over to NA... but I was too laggy with mabi to even load patch information for patch I had already done :fail3:

  I don't think boats that didn't use to use tokens (all of Perilous Ruins sans Trampled Plains, I neglected to mention this earlier as I didn't have time to explain this one exception) don't use dura.
  
  There has been some talk about armor breaking affecting dura loss, but I found that dura loss is always taken upon entering the room, not clearing it.

  A few days preoccupied, and Merry Christmas! :onionru:

  Maybe someone could get EU to work for me instead, since the IP isn't a problem (thus the lag isn't as strong) :what:

  I see; thank you, and I'll check every time I enter a room of the difference in Durability, to see how much I lose.
  
  More now:
  
  Can you ever choose to repair a certain number of points instead of all of the Durability that is gone?
  
  Is there an exact number or comparison of Normal, Hard, and Hero mode dungeons?
  Seeing from the Board, it only says that Normal has more HP but less damage, while Hard has the enemies with less HP but more damage (and another Evil Core from the Boss + not being able to see their HP Bar/s) - but is there an exact equation/difference?
  
  Last: What bonuses and disadvantages does Hero mode have?
  Me being less than Level 50, so I'm not able to check inside of the game.

  1. Nope, you can only ever repair the dura to maximum. I think you can click on an armor piece to only repair that item, but I always just repair all. The fee really only goes to ~10k-20k (after doing some raids) with a +5 Lv. 56/61 set. It's not unless you're like me (+10 with enchants) that your repair fee enters the 7k per room region. By the time you get to the point where your repair fees are somewhat high, you'll have a lot of money anyways.
  
  2. I'm unaware of the difference. To my knowledge, Hero mode has very little relation to any other difficulty though.
  
  3. Well. Hero mode is usually annoying as heck. The advantages are... (of the top of my head)
  
  - 1 Extra Core
  - Additional Gold and EXP rewards
  - 5 Extra AP per run
  - Chance to drop enchants (later Hero boats contain some of the most disreable enchants in the game)
  
  Bad parts
  
  - Titled mobs exist. Each having a different (annoying) feature. They also have more HP and can't be grabbed.
  - Enemy HP/Defence/Attack are all increased
  - The boss is put into fast fowards (about 1.5x to 2x speed I think?)
  - Any enchant worth anything is either very rare, or requires you to have absurd (13k+ attack minimum) stats to even stand a chance
