Since people are doing EPIC attempts to ignore me on mabination small question thread, I decided to post here all my questions:(Not really, but I still have questions that yet been answered :c)

Quote from Daniel1235;1275734:
Can any of the upcoming steaves OR enchants for steaves (enchanting Hermit's) Can make you hit all staff skills's break points?

Quote from Daniel1235;1274486:
Is there a way to aquire Chorus Enchant Scroll or it's still remined unclear of how/where to aquire it?

Quote from Daniel1235;1272474:
Two Quick Questions about enchanting...

(I could guess your answer on the next question but...)
Should I apply Union Enchant on Dustin set for +32 max, +16 min but -20% crit and adding Assault Enchant so I end up with +4% crit and also add Dexterity(as suffix) to helm?

And...
Should I apply Dark Cross Enchant on Spika Silver Knight set for +150HP and +30STR?

Quote from Daniel1235;1270325:
Is there ANY way to apply most protection to lang chaser without losing durability (or pay tens of millions of gold for enough platinum hammers to get the armor's durability at least to 20) or it must be Magic Upgrade 4 (lang and bhaf exclusive upgrade)?

Please answer them.

Please answer them.

1. You cannot breach the S/R break point for Lightning Rod and it would be incredibly difficult to break even with Hail Storm.

2. No.

3a. Union is an old, obsolete enchant. You can potentially pull 53 damage from your armor slot alone. Realistically, you can slap Encore Ambush (or equivalent) with relative ease. Even things like Butterfly, Camo, etc are preferable.

3b. The only gear statistic that matters is max damage. Dark Cross also adds a bunch of health, which makes contagion even harder to survive.

4. Defense and protection are mostly meaningless stats. You'll shunt nearly every non-critical attack easily with high enough strength. What few attacks bleed through are damaging enough that defense and protection won't do a whole lot for you in the first place. If you really wanted to tank hit, you should have picked up Royal Knight Armor instead, with its 20% melee auto-defense.

I would opt for durability upgrades, followed by protection, followed by defense. The artisan is a good alternate to the other upgrades and it won't cost you any durability. As far as the 3-3 upgrade is concerned, you've either got to kill a bunch of durability or play it safe with a lesser upgrade.

1 - Idunno', my MA's too far away from breakpoints to consider that even a thing worth thinking about. And the thign about breakpoints is that you don't want to hit them. You want to pass them.

2 - Maybe nobody said anything 'cause nobody knows. Remember that KR has a MUCH, MUCH larger player base than us. They have 25 channels instead of 7, and their Dunby CH5 is even more full than Ruairi's CH1 for shopping. They get rare drops much more often than we do.

3 - Depends on your stats and what you want to do. -Crit won't matter for lots of Magic or Ninja for example, but non-lance melee can take a hit unless your crit is really high already. Dexterity is good 'cause of the damage bonus.

4 - Upgrades are listed in the database and are generally filled out within days of the equipment getting into the hands of players. If you don't see it, it's not there.

Woah! Just noticed both of you answered within the hour but couldn't look beforehand.

@Kaeporo: Do not forget I intend (at some point in the future) to get languhiris chaser armor, which is 5 upgrades so, I need 4th upgrade before going on to the 5th which is Weiss artisan. As for 1-3b, Understood. Thanks~ :thumb:

@Rydian: Kaeporo answered before you but I see you bring in about the same point. Thanks regardless~ :thumb:

1. People already answered that for you.

2. It's one of those enchants when Lord missions came out in KR test server, it existed, but may as well never made it to live server, well, because it probably was deemed too good. There are several other enchants like this, like Vale Tudo, Break, etc. In the much larger KR player base, Chorus has never been found, and only exists in the data base.

3. Only remote reason for putting on Union is somehow putting on a rank 6- enchants, but even so, there really aren't that many useful ones. The stat Union provides is extremely lack luster, as well as enchant being pain in the ass to use unless you plan to blow up multiple equipment on the way, and if you're even thinking about putting Assault as suffix, you're doing it wrong. There's only two viable options for Gauntlets for suffix and those are Backbreaking and Peaceful/Swarming.

As for Dark Cross, that's a big nope. Not really worth hunting or enchanting for, as HP is only beneficial to Alchemy, and there are better and easier enchants for that. Just go to Desert Dragon raids, go get Solo enchant by smacking the dragon once, and put it on a bracelet or something. I'm completely serious about this answer.

4. The armor isn't meant as a highly defensive item. What I'd do is just get the exclusive upgrades so that you'll benefit the most from the armor, and do the artisan upgrade, the artisan itself is good enough (or even better) to match the conventional defense/prot upgrade without losing durability. If you wanted defensive stats and don't care about dex, you should go get a RKA. Also, as long as the durability is over 12, you'll be fine. Durability doesn't become a lot of an issue when you get enough damage and not get hit a lot anyway.

Also, please try to refrain from posting passive aggressively. People are not "trying" to ignore you, contrary to what you seem to be thinking, it's most likely because your questions get buried or people don't have a good answer to them, the Chorus question being the prime example. If your question isn't answered, you're welcome to bring it up again, but you don't have to bring it up passive aggressively.
