Now the craze has settled im looking into getting some SC af102 armour.

Questions im hoping you guys can help me on is .....


1) overcharging, say for 28 imbue points (99% af102) whats pushing it? ive noticed the SC calculator either says Boom!!! or a percentage, is the percentage saying there is a chance to boom or just its overcharged and it'll work no questions?
2) what procs are good where and why?
3) am i right in thinking 3 plat ish for a af102 99% suit? (scale)

1) 33/28 is the max and seems fairly safe, only heard of a couple of booms. I've had 10 or so pieces at 32 or 33 had done without failing any.
2) Ablatives all over (live longer = good). Dot on your weapon, maybe a DD or charge on your shield.
3) 3-6 plat depending on seller, try and rind someone willing to sell surplus from MP orders cheap.
4) Whoever you can find, they're not that common and SCing takes a long time. Alchemy is quicker but it's so expensive there are very few.

Malakim can do the alchemy for you, do a /who alliance (of power) and ask someone. He's not online very often anymore though... He's the only LG alchemist I know

I would'nt recommend you to use dot on any part of your armor, as it makes that guy who gets procced immune to mez/root etc, use dd's all over your weapons and ablatives on your armor, if u ask me.

33/28 = a 5 point OC isent max, but its the safest to do if you are gonna OC anything, in the fact you can overcharge with 10 points IF the item is qual 100, and all 4 gems are 100% aswell, but the problem is the 0.0001 % chance of success.

The highest OC i have head of is a 7 pts OC on a Polearm, but i wont risk it, as it costed them a insane amount of cash. The Guild that made the weapon is aiming for a 10pts OC but that will prolly take ages until they get it


--Edit--
Btw. lvl 51 100% qual items got 32 Imbue points.

Ok I'll respond to the question about procs as I've been mentioned for the work bit

Ablatives go a long way to increasing your chances of survival, arms, chest and legs get hit the most so those parts are a must.

I would almost say that hands and feet are pointless as I've seen my gloves proc maybe 5 times ever and feet only once!

However it could be the one time you need it

So if your happy with ablatives on just three parts and have a tight budget you can't go wrong, go the whole 6 to be safe and have the cash.

I have heard of some tanks who went all DD procs and say that the extra dmg can be awesome, sometimes hitting for 150x4 in one fight alone, obviously that's against someone with low resists, probably spirit

DD reactive on shield, well I still have mixed opinions about this as it seems to hardly proc , not surprising in rvr where defense other than evade is a bit of a joke, the new stat caps are really going to blow chunks for defensive specs as higher weaponskill makes it less likely that your target can defend

However shield still seems to do well vs arrows, I can block 4-6 shots in a row facing an archer and it would be nice to whack em with a DD while you close in, I'm going to put one on my tanks and see what happens

DOT on weapon and you can't go wrong, my only grumble is in pve vs high lvl mobs it gets resisted a hell of a lot unlike my lvl 49 reqd prince blade which doesn't get resisted much at all, in rvr I think it's dead handy, I've scored more than a few kills after my own demise as a result of a DOT proc and I personally find that sooooo evil

On a slow weapon (since I believe you are spear spec) then DOT is almost certainly best, since you'll be hitting less the DOT will pan out the better proc, possibly for very fast weapons a DD comes as close.

Hope some of this helps

I stuck an AF buff proc on my shield for a laugh. Its not very long duartion and doesnt proc often, but I open with a slam and it does proc I feel I have gained more than a DD.

Chest has something like a 40% chance of being hit, so if your short on cash, then just make sure your chest has an ablative.

thanks everyone for the advice


And elerand for the great info on procs

hmm, you got confirmation on that 7pt oc? afaik the most you can overcharge an item by is 5pts, and thats fixed. so, a 100% af102 piece of armour can hold 37 imbue points. thats all according to herald, so if someone's managed to prove that wrong, i'd love to know!

7pnt OC is impossible afaik,, but im willing to try given the necessay MP gems
