Atm R8 and G16 daggs are missing , also refines are missing atm.

My next steps are R8->Refines->Daggs->Shards
Tome is an option, but atm not my 1st. prior.

Please let my know , which Shards you think are the best option for PVE and farming.

Type and lvl of the Shards would be nice

For example this ist what im looking for :

x*garnet shard (lvl 8 Immaculate)
x*citrine shards ( lvl 8 Immaculate)

also an explanation why you think so , would be awesome !

Ty all !! b:bye

First off all: Citrines.

Flawless are the real cheap option. Immaculates give 10more HPs for 1m. This is a ratio is comparable to a +5 refinement or so on your G15 gear parts. So going immacs is a worthy investment.

Better yet is to go for incomparables. You can get these by doing weekly SOT/ABA quests.

Ty for the answer

What are the best shards in general for an aps sin ?
(General question , so no money and pve aspects)

Other question :

I got my r8 and my +5 refines now.

So what shall be my next step?

Shards, G16 daggs or rb ?

The best shardings, not considering money are Jades of steady defence and Deity stones, depending if you want attack or defence.

I dont know what you decided to do with the shards. Personally, i would shard a decent part of my gear with flawless citrines temporarily. Maybe keep 2 parts unsharded and start working on the imaculates from SOT/ABA for those parts. When they are done you can proceed to replace the flawless ones.

Other than that:

1) complete your -int gear if it is not yet complete
2) add G16 dagger, make it +10
3) add -interval tome
4) refine armors +10 if not going for full R9 in next step.
5) Add R9 parts, just ring and dagger for PvE, full R9 for PvP, refine it to +10, weapon +12
6) recast R9 ring, make +10, replace cheap -int tome with emperor
7) Replace shards with end game shards (vit stone/JOSD/Deity)

Rebirthing i would do as soon as you feel up to it. It will go way much faster than the first time you went from 1 to 100. You get to use your lvl 100 gear as soon as you have the required stats (dex). So you can solo FC at a lower level. Rebirthing not only helps you with extra stat points, it also gives you acces to FSP. Doing this dayly instance for about 2 months will give you a set of A cards and 1 free S card. This set of cards is a huge empowerment.
