What next best shards to get?

Describe to us or me your ornaments. What refine they are, and if you ever plan to upgrade them (assuming that you're poor like me and can't get anything).

I went immac sapphire shards currently for the current build I have. I did it cause my armor is +10 with pretty good standing HP (had 95 base vit, restatted earlier to 45 base vit right now), and since I have a lunar ring +5 and a cube neck g14 +5 i lack some magic defense and threw it there to increase my resistance.

If you have like a decent +10 cube g14 neck or something, i'd go HP Immac/Perfects in your armor. When you get to the point of like 80%~ magic resistance against "X level enemy", it's pretty (financially) difficult to increase it further (which would cost you more money and you'd prolly buy a vit stones in that case lol). If that point hits, go HP.

Idk what kind of answer to give,although you ask other bm's, I think it be good for you to tell us the ornaments you have and what specific 3rd cast gear lol. Stage 3 nirvana G16 or we talking about dat R9?

EDIT: Asterelle's Socket Calculator will help you.

you must hate ur bm o.O

Not really but you gave no information on your current gear/stats or your focus in game.

So shabby amethyst is about as good as any other advise you'll get based on that wealth of information.

Hm, okay. Yeah I found a couple slightly (or majorly) off idea of what I was saying. I stayed up all night, decided to check forums for anything involving dumb drama in archosaur happening.

- I really do hope you eventually get to Vit Stones or something. It'll take a while for sure.

Just a little more information, what refines do you want to start at for the R9S3 Armor. +0, +5, +7(GOOD GAMBLER BABY), or +10(Doubt you'll be at 10 just cause that can be costly).

What about your ornmanets, what are they? What refine and will they stay end game (for you) for like the next 8 months or so?

If not, I would highly recommend what Joshy says.

or something stupid of me that should have been posted.

But uh, if low HP on r9s3, get citrines [flawless/immac/perfect/exclusive]

If high HP on R9s3, get sapphire [immac/exclusive/perfect]

if high hp, high magic resist (80%+ to X [your level] enemies), get citrines [flaw/immac/perfect/excl]

If high HP, 80% magic resist to x target but want a bit more to 85%, get more sapphires hehehehe. (It's a pain getting past 85%)

And about the level 11 Gems involving sapphire and citrine, idk about citrine but sapphire can be a valid choice above if you're really lacking the magic resist. But they'll eventually become "bleh" as you get G16 Defiance Cube NEcklace +10 and maybe a Moon's Embrace NW cloud stir ring +10 and R9 recast ring +10. But... that's also a lot of money too. lol. if you ever get those, go hp.

Was gonna stay out of this since he asked for TheDan and Zanryu specifically but as it was a troll thread at the start and has only further become trolly I'll join in:


PvP? PvE?

Sapphire shards give more effective hp for magic damage than vit or JoSD.
Garnets shards give more effective hp for phys damage than vit or JoSD.

Besides Vit, DoT, JoSD, and vit stones you really only have three options, lol. Cit, Garnet, and Sapphire. That's why we want to know your gear (especially your ornies and rings) and what you plan to do with it.

rainbow sharding 4 different elemental shabbies ftw

Okay i was not asking the questions in regards to advice . Some of the post reply was the plain simple answer to the questinn, rest of yall misunderstood the thread as if i was seeking advice.

Not sure about now but from Zans build last what i saw I didnt see Jsods tho hes r3 and held him self well vs several better sharded players. The Dans seems to have a lil more into his gear.

With the way the game has changed i have seen several builds that make me wonder what the person was thinking. Recently meet a bm who reduce his dex to bare minimum for axes and an accuracy of 300-400. Seen a Bm and an archer sharded with all evasion stones. Everyone has they reason/style and alot just simply play follow the monkey and do what the next guys does. Ofc there are Bms with builds and gear that make others just plain out hate them. There will always be haters in the world. But deep down they envy.

But lets say there was no Jsods in the game no Vit stones in the game no Dots. What would u put in them sockets with how the game is today?

Zan is +6 armor why would he have JOSD's? He wins cause he's competent at game.

Dan has +10-12 full JOSD full endgame

The builds you listed have absolutely no logic behind them, they just suck.

If you dont know what flawless shard mix to placehold with at R999...

This topic is bad and you should feel bad.

Okay lets add details to my first question-

IF u had a (r9 3rd cast BM) what would be the next best shards u would use?

If not Jsod/Vit/Dots. pls state the Type of Shard and Level of the shard.

There was purpose for refering to Dan & Zan however let any others feel free to post on what they would do.

If you have r9 3rd cast you can afford good gems, Ijs...

R999 = roughly 2 bill

Full JOSD = 2.9 bil

full +12 = 4.5 bill +

Cube NW neck/tome/R999 ring/NW ring also come into play in terms of cost as well as aps set, utility weapons, and ornie swaps.

Total cost of endgame build = 15+ bill

You is derp son

If you can gather the money for r9s3 then you what? just stop making money? your coins read negative? If you have r9s3 you can afford to refine/shard it

With the recent r9 sales and cheap cans/raps any derp derp can go r9s3
Plz keep trolling this guy.

Back on topic:

I suggest this build to conserve herbs

ok

enough trolling; if you can't afford endgame shards atm then just buy some flawless citrines, the best placeholder gems in the game
