  It's 68 max right? That means if you have over 680 max, it amounts to less than 10% damage output increase. Even less so for alchemy, magic, puppets, and soon gunner.

  
  
  
  >10%
  >>Not a lot
  
  It's not necessary by any means, but it's still a *lot* of damage. Considering the difference between something like Spike and Sniping...

  Which type of combat do you hit the hardest with :x?

  
  
  Probably fighter.
  
  

  and how much times do you commerce in a day, and from where to where carrying what?

  
  
  That's classified information. If I told you, i'd have to kill you.

  Especially about commerce, maybe i'm doing something wrong. Know any good tips?

  
  
  

  
  
  • [S]Avoid unnecessary ambushes [/S]
    
  • If I'm not mistaken bandits will only aggro up to double, unsure if this includes the boss. I saw a video a few weeks ago of someone studying their aggro patterns and he (?) simply used windmill on top of his commerce mount and threw a couple of ranged attacks at the two aggro'd bandits.
    
  • What I do (as a human ranger) is kill off one of the two bandits that aggros, if possible, and if also possible knock back the other aggro'd bandit behind the cart so that I can start aiming crash shot and chip away at the raiding bandits health.
    
  • To avoid people stealing, have some sort of ranged attack (bolt, arrow, rock) and get the escaping bandits' attention and have them run back to try and attack you.
    
  • Lawls with puppetry? I haven't gotten to try this yet but I wouldn't be surprised if this makes it quite easy with all that AoE.

  This^ Anyways, I'm just happy about the Alchemy stuff! Sorry if the Heavy Armor thing makes your life harder. :x

  Elephant, Bangor > Tail with... what's it called... Topaz or Highlander (depending on which bandits you want to face)
  Elephant, Tail > wherever the fire crystals are selling well (preferably Tir, Dunby, or Cobh for the sake of speed)
  Elephant, Tail > Bangor with... Palala Crystal
  Wagon, Tir's baby potions > Dunby or Cobh when they're 6^-7^
  
  Some of my favorite routes. Split screen between commerce and anime to avoid boredom.
  
  On topic: Assuming any of these armor masteries and penalties do get released in NA, I won't have a problem using light armor instead of heavy armor if there are any decent looking ones.

  Accessories just plain aren't worth it if you ask me, they're extraordinarily expensive for minimal return. No one really needs them to fight anyways. At some point you will have the money to repair them and probably nothing better to spend it on, but you probably wouldn't even notice the difference by the time you get there. Even oblivion fierce amounts to practically nothing in the end.

  
  
  One thing I've learned about accessories: if you don't need them on, don't wear them. I always take off my enchanted accessories when I do not need them. As a result I only repair them once a week or even less often. All things considered, i think I spend more gold repairing weapons and clothing on a weekly basis than repairing the 2 accessories combined in the same time period..

  So, you wear accessories then, meaning you don't wear heavy armor, meaning this update doesn't effect you! Case closed, lock thread!... Wait, that wasn't the topic? What was the topic again?

  I wear accessories occasionally, given that they came pre-enchanted from the spring wind gift box for 5k each.
  
  I don't repair them.

  I don't know about you but a 10% damage output increase is nothing to scoff off especially when you factor in critical hits, R upgrades, and elemental reforges.

  None of those would change the % even in the slightest, unless you're trying to say that it makes them less important. It's not like everyone's sporting two Oblivion Fierce accessories anyways, or even Oblivion Avenger.

  Everyone is sporting 2 accessories + clothing last I checked for max damage. Heck these days I use 2 oblivion accessories + Special Ambush clothing. Having 2 accessories is important. With this update I can switch back to my light armour and do the 2 accessories for even more def :D
  
  Still won't do heavy armour cause I don't want to lose fighter damage and definitely don't want to lose ranged (when I rank it) and puppetry damage either.
