Crystal plate for KoBe?

Hi,

This is my first message so sorry if the answers to my questions are obvious (and sorry for my poor english).

My level 11 KoBe just got 3 artefacts armours in a Bailey (2 leather and 1 crystal plate), and I am wondering which one to choose. Isn't it a good idea to use the crystal one, and stop level up stealth and dodging skills? I am just level 11, so I can maybe just level up Armour and Fighting. What do you think?

Re: Crystal plate for KoBe?

You could definitely train armour for the future (and only take str on level ups), but right now I would settle for the +7 leather (or +6 if you need the rF+).
take it easy

Re: Crystal plate for KoBe?

Ok, so u advice is to stay with +7 leather armour untill I have a decent armour skill and some str? I think I will try that. I will switch when i got +- 14 in armour...

Re: Crystal plate for KoBe?

The +6 leather armour is probably better. No -Dex to reduce evasion, and you get rF+ too.

For future reference, use [code] instead of [quote] for posting a dump. It makes the text monospaced and easier to read.

Re: Crystal plate for KoBe?

Heavy armour doesn't affect attack speed, only accuracy. (And guess what, short blades are really accurate and it doesn't matter in the first place.)

unless you want to stab or something
take it easy
