Importance of accessories

[daviddionysus]

Hey everyone!

How significant are the roles of accessories in this game such that should they be prioritised over armours and weapons?

Take the case of Hope of Argus Recipe - supposed you happen to get it, should you sell and utilise the revenue earned on other aspects of your equipment or should you simply craft it?

In every MMO there`s a moment when you have to climb higher by gathering very small powerups.
Accessoires is something like that. They CAN make your damage way higher, but it`s top-3 priority after armors and weaps.

Basically what you should do is looking for optimal way to spend your money if you have any. Actually even on lategame you still have a mess of ways to raise your stats by additional 1-10%.

I would say that basic curve would be something like
Crescemento =>
e92-e96 armors with at least +6+3, Const weaps with basic chips (+40% ATK +3 AR), rumins if you have\need any (mostly Major spod\obsi rumins as it`s easy to get)=>
Elite Le Noir armors with at least +6+3, +7 const (via breaking it for a chance)\+6 Evil weaps with race chips for your main squad . Do not spread too much for different characters at this step, play something universal and easy. At that step you already have some minor ways of earning money -like spamming Cast. mine normal for shiny xtal boxes. As for Accessoires -that`s the step on which you begin to collect Magic accessoires. You can rush a whole sets if you have your armors& weaps complete. If the characters you use have a personal artifact- go for it, especially if that gives you some skill levels (Lisa arti,for exaple)
=>
GC +6+3 , Evil +7\Divine +7\SD +6 weaps with race chips ,
Stat earrings for your DPS chars (like HoA,WoA,SoA).
On that step you should start looking for permanent or widely used temporary powerups- Elemental missions on Nimrod, try to get good pets like Diablo\Rhino\Divino. Yeah, that can be a solid amount of vis , but once again -that`s a buffs that will help you forever.
If you gather a solid amount of vet\exp chips at this step and you have your armors\weaps ready - begin enhancing your accessoires. Start with belt and necklace, as this two giving you non-random solid battle stats (PEN and IMM).Enhance your earring last (even if that`s the stat one),as it will probably be replaced soon.
As for artifacts- that`s where you start to think about it. Craft Kielce series if any of your chars can use it with a major profit (like Rubiana uses the Clover Rocket). Otherwise use non-specific series like New Viron (Rose\Machine) or later ones. Do not put it above any other major means if that`s not something really needed for character.
=>
Lategame incoming. Prepare to spend insane amount of money for a little stat powerups. That`s a step at which you begin to gather your fist sets of accessoires- Strata or Armonia. Weaps and Armors are replaced by SD\Armo series (SDB for armors). Stat earrings evolve to their Enhanced forms (ESoA,EWoA,EHoA, EJormBelt). Everything else is related to what you can get and what you can`t,that`s becoming uniques for each player. Do not go for overpriced accessory recipes if you have an option to socket your equip, or if you don`t have a weapons for a centrain race- you get your 1st (Armors) and 2nd (Weaps) priorities ,then you get it perfected (Rumins, high racial chips),then you go for 3rd priority (Accessoires ) and perfect some of them (like +10 your Belt\Necklace),getting needed stats in its chips, and only at that moment you spend your vis for a greater accessoires recipes and craft. At that point you can go for an items that require a solid amount of money\time to craft and aquire. Like Patter accessoires



Basically the thing is that you have to keep your accessoires on the same step as your primary equipment. Do not rush them if you have a better ways to spend your money, but do not overlook it if you`re moving to a next step.

Despite the lengthy response, there are many solid information in it. Would it be wiser to focus the top 3 priorities - armour > weapon > accessory on 1 character first or would it be wiser to focus armours and weapons on your main lineup, leaving accessories to the last?

You focus on armors and weaps 1st for all 3 chars at ELNR step, later get your accessoires for all 3 of them. Only after gettting full kit of accessoires you focus on next weap\armor series for all 3 chars.

You need to get 1 thing: accessoires are 50% of your equipment and power.
Game has few sets of main accessories - Magic, Strata, Armonia, Valeron and Boss's.
Valeron crazy hard to get right now, so pass atm.
Strata and Armonia making sets with relevant armor and weapon. You not need to rush for them.
Your main goal right now - Magic set. This is a basic accessoires. You will use it for a long time. You will change weapons and armors, characters, but your main Magic Accessoires Sets will be with you.
After Magic, you should go Boss's series - EHoA, ESoA, EWoA and etc - depend on stat. Boss's Series can be replaced in future only with Strata and Valeron. Coz for Divine, Evil, Zodiac and Armonia, it has no sence.

So, for comfort play you need to get weapon, armor and accessories.

Hermes event will give u a acc set like sc.yeganeh event last year.
So u need to plan it wisely.

to add on top of what Xelaine said, I personally ran a small test and concluded Enhanced boss earring are marginally better than Armonia earring. So the only upgrade that you would make is to Strata (or Valeron, if you're one of the lucky people)

Starting out
First complete the main questlines in Reb, Coimbra & Auch
Guide here
http://madnessbook.blogspot.com/p/quests.html

Get rewards here but save these
http://www.granado-espada.eu/Mini/Gearup/

Recruit Bernelli & Emilia in Port of Coimbra as soon as possible

Continue quests until you get to Errac you can promote Bernelli & Emilia to master any time you get next tier XP cards from scenario quest reward under the gearup link.

EMILIA WILL ALWAYS STAY AS AN IMPORTANT CHAR.

Once you recruit Nar you should promote him to atleast expert he can be replaced when you recruit Grandies.


Gearup
Cremento -> Experimental as soon as possible (Emilia does not need experimental)
Armor = Cresmento +6 chiped into +5 3dr ELN save these until you get santo's later.
Boss Earing & Divine accesores are good here.



Emilia is the most useful support to have everyone needs her in their collection.
I did a spotlight for her as well here

Necklace & Earring are most important for PVE as you can enhance to get + Pen next would be boots & then glove/belt are the same (provided you are atleast using vet+ gloves not naked)

Get experimental weapon for Grandies + Bernelli and these will last until you get good stuff.

Try to get +5 3dr ELN's as soon as possible these can get you past Armonia missions.

to add on top of what Xelaine said, I personally ran a small test and concluded Enhanced boss earring are marginally better than Armonia earring. So the only upgrade that you would make is to Strata (or Valeron, if you're one of the lucky people)

Armonia Ear is garbage tier because it cost more than Enhanced Boss Earrings to get and its worse.

Strata atleast has a point for set bonus.

But aren't accessory sets supposed to be better overall over enhanced boss earrings/enhanced jorg belt?
