Worth Upping This Item? O=;;

[Cyber Dragon]

So yeah, I just recently found this wonderful little gem. ^^

Question: Would it be worthwhile to Up this? I remember hearing somewhere about Eth Unique armors losing their Eth bonuses when upped (or was that an older patch?), has that been fixed now? O=

Just need to know, I've got the runes/gem ready to go. ;D

I thought there was a bug to make it even better. I zeal dueled this guy and i couldn't do much to him. I asked to see his equipment and he had a 1900 def zodded eth shaft. NICE!

That "bug" only exists with regular plain ethereal armors

by socketing them in the cube the ethereal bonus is applied again making the defense of the new socketed ethereal (non-magical) item even higher

as for the eth shaftstop yes upgrade it !

I would definately have upped that one. Upping armors isn't very expensive anyway, so...

have not been around the last few patches, what do you mean exacly by "upping" the armor? guessing its a cube recipie that adds something to the armor. But what exacly does it do, and what is needed, what kind of rules apply to it.

one last thing, what is that torch thingy in you invintory? is that the thing that adds +skill to a job class? i thought that was a GC :x hmmm man i need to get back to the game and learn this **** lmao, o i also seen a like..miniature flag mounted on something, was a single space item, any idea what that is?

As for the "miniature flag" thing, that's the Standard of Heroes (SoH), which doesn't have any known function at the moment. Just a heads up: don't believe any rumors about them.
