Well, that's a lot of crit. Okay I have a few questiions about your enchants,
Is there any real reason why you have Monster instead of Darkness? Ever since I looked at MA's rewards, I just saw Monster as a quick step to overlap Darkness (well, I think it's called Pitch-Black now). I can see that Monster by itself is pretty decent, but like does the extra luck and crit make it relly worth it over Darkness' max hit? Honestly I never really thought of keeping Monster on an armor. If Mari's Darkness prices are anywhere near Tarlach's, it's also extremely cheap stuff now (snatched a bunch for 50k and less and a +14 one for 50k as well). Also have you ever felt like hunting for the Innocent enchant? I still have yet to see one.
What roll did you get on your Nostalgic and Camo enchants on your Chaser gloves? I'm just curious about what the RNG gods had in store for you.
I don't know if you particularly care about what I use, but here's what I've been using:
Oblivion Dexterity Kaito mini (lvl 19 crisis and two kinda irrelevant reforges I forgot; prior to this, I couldn't find a hat on my account)
Scrupulous (15 dex) Darkness (+14 max) Lorica Segmenta
Restored [5 max 18 crit] White Horse Leymore suit (+5 max on White Horse aka sadness; bought this during a brief 2011 return)
Quartz Darkness (+14 max) Linen Cuirass (male) [this was the +14 Darkness I bought for 50k]
Expansive Wild Boar Valencia gloves (replaced the Amplified it already had with a +3 max roll Wild Boar)
Diamond Raven boots (I have two Raven boots with 8 max on both; Fearless [+4 crit rank A prefix] is on the other)
that same Lion Hunter [+8 max; minimum roll] Stamp R5 Highlander with lvl 6 fire (the one Edern failed instantly)
Colossus Engraved Control bar (+23 max artisan and +15 max on Colussus); got it for 50k.
I pretty much use a darkness armor and Restored interchangeably and use Restored when I can't get the full crit chance with Darkness armor. Compared to back then, (Prefix here) Darkness armor was nowhere nearly as good as Extaordinary or Restored + White Horse or Glass Fragment (now called Shard) and later Ambush since you could only equip 1 accessory with your light armor.
For accessories, I initially used one with Corundum Lilly and another with Light Lilly. By the way, Jennifer failed the first repair on the Light Lilly accessory. I eventually got an Avenger accessory (which now has Precise as the prefix) when I briefly came back during my freshmen year of college though, but unfortuantely only one. I only know one other person who has two Avenger accessories that have Oblivion on them. When I announced that I was quitting, a bunch of vultures wanted my Avenger accessory, but I wanted to keep my sarcophagus intact so I kept it. They weren't happy birds.
When I came back for one day on a random day in 2014 (shout out to pofoman who coincidentally is a mod here), I learned about the existece of guns. I was floored by these fancy clouds and some other crazy pets that people showed me. Someone, I believe it was pofoman gave me a Precise Lilly accessory, so now I use that along with my Avenger accesory for the max hit. Someone I know from the past has a rank 1 reforged Precise Lilly accessory from a gachapon, so I will eventually buy that one after I get all of my higher priority spending out of the way. Hopefully he keeps it for me, but I don't think there are other archers who'd buy one. Good for me I guess. For clarity, I came back "fully" about 1 week before I made my first mega post here.
So pretty much everything but the crisis Kaito hat is what I stopped playing the game with. If I look solely at my enchants, it appears that I'm nearly completely modern, but of course I'm going to replace everything I can with enchanted Bohemian so I can start reforging. So far, all I've used my money on was buying Nostalgic enchants, hoarding Demonic bars and lances with my pocket change, the 2nd Pierrot enchant scroll I encountered (200k; did I get ripped off? Looks worth it to me), the Dexterity enchant [800k; back in my day they were 5m], that Highlander bow, and of course reforges. My irl MA blazer + old world maxed magic friend bought me the crisis hat though mainly for "us," but technically we're having a mutual high profile borrow trade thing going on with my Rosemary gloves and this hat. The main issue there is that she's not using the gloves though so it feels a bit uneven in my favor even though the rosemary gloves are a lot more expensive right now.
For now, I'll just hunt for Carved on my own since it seems a lot cheaper labor and money wise to do that. I'm thinking of just rushing enchant to rank 5 this week once I come home and then use seals for the rest of the ranks slowly so I can slap on Pierrot whenever I have time and Secret for the melee irl friend. I Honestly don't think 40-ish very low effort seals a day is bad at all and it sure beats the rate I took at training tailoring in the old world.
What's the alternative to Nostalgic that isn't Oblivion? I see a lot of options at 6 Max, so 7 sounds fine.
I guess that's one way to look at it, but from another perspective, I could have used Corundum on it for like.... way cheaper and then slapped the other Nostalgicon one of my Bohemian gloves. That's kinda why I'm a bit salty about that roll. Idk, I guess I should be glad about using the hat. It's scary thinking that Corundum only is one max hit weaker than my Nostalgic roll though. I'm really thinking that I shouldn't take that marionette max hit for granted though.
