can’t find any vine boots recipe
They drop from Green Fishermen at Sienakal Graveyard.
i know where it drop but it’s gonna drop for me
Oh, that’s annoying. Good luck on the grind.
Yes as @Adeodatus explained.
I’ve practically forgotten about the forums; sorry. >.<

The magic damage reduction doesn’t matter that much if you’re already seeing 1s, so maybe investing just as much in mdef that you see 100-200s would be more beneficial.

the magic damage reduction you get from wearing 3 or 4 pieces of Cloth is still infinitely better as it let’s you invest less in M.Def raising items (more expensive than P.Def) and would be the easier way for you to push your M.Def investment to the point that magic attacks will be hitting you for 1 damage.
Even at high P/M defense levels, you don’t really want to see damage in the three (3) digits because it will still add up to four (4) digits quickly, especially if you’re surrounded.
Seeing 1s across the board isn’t even as expensive as most people make it out to be. It’ll be costly if you’d like your main and all your alts to be able to do it on all maps, otherwise, it’s do-able on just 1 gear set alone.
but nuaele isn’t cheap
it was 9-10m (1star) in market
i use full cloth set in most of my alt and stuck at 1.1k-1.2k mdef without nuaele
some of mine can’t use full cloth ex a char that need aoe atk from vubbe
swordman that use kovos+vubbe, int cleric that need a lot of accuracy from gloves
old high str char that really need cri rate from glove/ or set
i don’t sure is 2 pieces of cloth worth, but if i can use full cloth i always go with it
most problem is it really to get good cloth boots
vine boots is very rare, i’m checking market for a week and doesn’t get any (hunt a bit)
most of them give 0mdef (or if it give mdef, it doesn’t have 2 slot)
plate set is most common and easier to buy from market
If you are a newbie archer and struggling with magic def, the best beginner set up IMO is:
virtov cloth top // bottom with 4x yellow gems
Vine boots with 2x blue gem (go farm by yourself, it is an ez drop)
Cloth gloves with either 5dex or 17 spirit or virtov cloth gloves (check the name on a database, they are common as well)
You can also go 3/4 elkanosh + vine boots for even harder magic def stacking.
Also, NEVER forget to enchant top//bottom daily, is a 10% magic def at around 10k cost, I consider it a must as lvl 17 aspersion, honestly.
i have silver in stock but i just don’t want to sink too much money on alt
elkosh x3 (top pants glove) is what i’m using (missing vine boots for this set)
another one is elkosh x3 (top pants boots) with vubbe glove
all with gem lv5 (top pants yellow, blue boots)
this set isn’t problem for me, a single uphill run give me 1-2 lv5 gem
harder parts is nuaele, 12m each x5 cards for an alt is too much.
i want hasta tunic and pants but it’s too rare (on market)
You shouldn’t be so scaried by the idea of grinding vine boots recipe, it is not that rare.
Plus, don’t buy nuaele, especially for an ALT, especially for an archer where glassmole stacking is better anyway.
With 12m you can easily bring max peta and sissels (or phada//gladi if u are using them) to +8 or more and have enought leftover to buy 2x blue gems lvl 6 for vine boots.
Just farm vine boots recipe if u can’t snipe 1 from AH and upgrade your jewels to at least +6, enchant top // bottom daily for +10% magic def from a shop and you should be more then fine IMO.
If you REALLY want to buy some expensive items, buy windrunner.
Windrunner + virtov leather top // bottom + red veris gloves or vubble gloves (depending if u are stacking aoe or crit rate) is the best set up pre lolo gear IMO.
You have 3 sockets for blue gems on windy, +20ish magic def from virtov pants and u open yourself to the 2 best gloves you can have, plus going 4/4 leather set bonus to counter windrunner evasion malus.
It is expensive and I do NOT suggest this for an ALT, but if you come to buying expensive stuff Windrunner is better then Nuaele at least.
Currently running with 3 pieces of hasta cloth (full cloth attributes),1 - lvl 10 nueaele card, and windrunner w/ 3 level 6 blue gems, and still getting wrecked. I have a didel tower shield which helps a bit, but I feel like an idiot and just crafted an Aufgowle bow, so now I can’t use my darn shield… ugh!!
I’m trying to make myself feel better and convince myself since I’m a mergen I NEED to focus on the best bossing equipment and not focus on pve survivability… but then I see my isbality + manamana outdps my +1 315 weapon and start to cry.
Tree of tears.
Bruh, I wrote my response about one full month ago.
Also, the target of my response was @Sandu’s statement about wearing full plate and having 5.5K Magic Defense, only to later be revealed that he’s (of course) equipped with two (2) Practonium-based equipments.
Which incidentally, costs nearly double than, say five (5) Nuaele Lv1s at that current time of writing.
A lot has happened and changed since then of course.
Hence, it is up to you, the player to literally play your hand and see where it takes you.
Realistically speaking, I don’t expect 90% of the population to even reach the majority of what has been discussed on this thread.
OP asked, we answered.
I didn’t start feeling the difference until about 3 cards in (30%). You also have to start wearing M.Def enchanted headgear 1,2 and 3 (start with those that give at least +55, the max is +110).
But mah physical attack.
Duly noted, thanks for the feedback.
Yeah, I feel yah. xD
Thing is, if you wanna be able to do it all, you either have to be in a party that will cover for your character’s inherent weaknesses or get ready to spend, spend and spend!
Besides, +Physical Attack (up to 126) coupled with +Magic Defense (up to 110) items do exist but are rare AF.
