Hi... Couple of questions if you don't mind (:

Firstly, with Venomancer weapons, which is more beneficial to imbue, Aquamarine (Wood attack) or Sapphire (Magic attack)?

I ask because, venomancer's to my knowledge are largely wood based, however most of there skills, eg Venomous Scarab, lists "Deal wood damadge equal to base magic attack + blahdiddlyblah..."

Second question is on purification.. Does it remove just gems or dark blue stats too?*

*If it does remove dark blue stats, are these changed to unidentified stats or just gone completely?


Ty for your help! b:laugh

    The Aquamarine only works with physical attacks and so only your fox form skills would benefit. The amount of added damage is alot less than what you get from sapphire / garnet because sapphire / garnet benefit from mastery / STR / MAG while aquamarine befits from nothing.

    Purification only removes gems, nothing else is changed.

    Haven't seen a veno yet with wood shards in their weapon, hence, better use sapphires,

    purification only removes gems nothing else, refine, stats remain the same.

    Sapphires. They add weapon damage which is multiplied by Spark Eruptions.

    *Edit: also, what Ast said.

    Purification is used for the removal of shards only.

    Veno is kind of an interesting case since they are the only class that has skills which rely on both physical attack and magic attack. Still most venos use fox form for very little besides debuffs so sapphire is the way to go.
