the repair costs can be annoyingly high everytime. While +% def adds greatly to the flat def of enigma. If u need more STR than that anyways, then better take the archon plate.Īnd be aware of superior bases. Archon has a req of 103 on its own and with +STR per charlvl from Enigma u would easily achieve 170+ STR in the early lvl 90s. Enigma grants a huge amount of additional STR, and many ppl just dont want to exceed the value demanded by their gear (which often is 156 for a monarch), so they can put the spare points into VIT. The advantage of the Mage Plate is just its low strangth req. But since Enigma grants a flat amount of defense instaed of percentages, the diffenernce in defense stays just the same as with the base types.(/which is only around 260 or so compared to an archon). The disadvantage of Mage Plates is its lower defense value as an exceptional armor in comparison to elite armor bases. Best choices would be Mage Plate, Dusk Shroud and Archon Plate. The idea is to get enigma for lower str + high durability.

Defense is pretty rubbish unless you have a ridiculous amount. AP has around 300 more defense than the MP. dont think mage plate superior is worth much as it’s exceptional - if ppl really wanted def they would go elite base repair cost will probably be 500k for almost no added benefit. Since torches came out, most characters are able to equip a Mage Plate Enigma (55 strength required) with base strength when you factor in the annihilus plus torch to your base stats. Most ppl prefer light armor types because they bare no penalty to run/walk speed. Tarquin-11536 December 5, 2021, 8:13am 3.
