enhancement question

[chef_koo]

i was contemplating enhancing my items when i had a thought. if i just waited until i got my very last weapon when i'm lvl 80 or whatever, wouldn't it be alot more economical? you would have no risk of losing you weapon at lower levels and buying it again. you would save money from stones if you didn't choose stone production for a skill. even if you successfully enhance your weapon early on to a high level, you won't have that weapon forever anyways. but at the last lvl, you'll have that weapon forever, or at least until fiesta is no longer profitable and they axe the whole game

or since you are lvl 8X you could just buy a +9

Waiting for the last level, at least in our version, would be a while. There's a level 105 cap looming over the horizon, and other versions of Fiesta have a higher cap than that. Are you intending to wait until the current cap or the final cap, whenever that may be?

Also, galdrath, if you check out the Fiesta Fan Art section, there are several lists of players who do signatures.

hmmm. lvl 105 now eh? when you put it that way. how much more dmg does it do per level? maybe i'll wait til lvl 30.

[Bonthra]

I'd suggest not doing it until 50. The other levels you go through too quickly to need +9s, really.

[chef_koo]

how much more dmg does a +9 deal?

[ahtai]

+9 is almost double the damage. Or equivalent the next level weapon. So if you have a 30 +9 it is like the damage of your 40 +0 weapon.

I had a lvl 20 bow on my archer that was +5 and the lvl 30 clean bow beat out the lvl 20 by only a couple points. I really doubt that four more enchantment levels would have given me only a couple points of damage.

also if you choose to enhance, make sure what you are enhancing has good stats, you you wont be able to unload it when you get a new wep

+7-9 add heaps of damage.

also it's usually best to start getting +'d gears around the 40's. and most +9 weps add about 125% damage to a weapon. buying +9's is usually cheaper then making. more so on the later tier weapons

well the damage varies by weapon too, like I think fighter 1h swords have the largest growth in damage, where as axe's are usually like just right around double damage

[cadnecek]

i thought the +x just added x amount of damage to teh weapon... so are you telling me that they do more than just add +x damage to a weapon

The +x is how many times they've been enhanced, 9 being the highest.

[cadnecek]

ok so how does one determine what the extra protection/damage will be with irritive enhancements?
