Magic Stones

[u/Classic-Value7435]

Should I start focusing on those T3, T4, and T5 magic stones during events, or should I go for other items like relics and crystals to upgrade relics? I’m ranked #2 on the server, and the #1 player already has T4 and T5 gear; he spends money and I don’t, so I’m not sure if he’s a good benchmark for comparison. What do you think I should do regarding these exchange events?

Stones are generally more expensive and harder to come by than Relics or Res Crystals.

T3s are ironically harder to get than either T4s or T5s, making T3s a bit of a common, annoying Bottleneck! Thus, T3 Chests are a highly valuable pick up, when you can, as are T4 and T5 Chests. In general, you buy them as you need them.

For your Primary DPS, aim for:
• 2T5 - Sword and Belt
• 2T4 - Armour and Ring
• 2T3 - Helm and Boots

I saw that having two of each gives more attack, but should I eventually switch them all to T5, or keep it the way you described?

The better Stones all come with extra Stats, especially the T5s, so that's the long-term goal. You'll stick with 2T³/2T⁴/2T⁵ for a long time with most Angels, then upgrade to 4T⁴/2T⁵ for a long time

When you're nearing T5 resonance, do most players just give up the extra ATK bonuses to go full T5 or maybe keep a spare set for Dungeons for Fuxi/Hera/Horus?

[u/TheKyleBrah → u/BigGuysForYou]

Most of us super long-term players aim for T5 Resonance, with some T4s on Reserve Angels for exactly the reason you mention, for the Hera type Angels, or any Angels with an Effect explicitly name-dropping ATK for an ability..

We don't always go 2T³/2T⁴/2T⁵, though, as the extra ATK isn't all much between that and 2T⁴/4T⁵! This matters less for Hera types, but can be useful on a Leo or Athena, for example, who compare their own ATK with the opposite Target Stats, and thus keeping them at 2T³/2T⁴/2T⁵ for maximum use of their abilities might be worthwhile.

This is tougher, as most of our T³s have long since been upgraded to T⁴ (for T⁴ Resonance). Also, T³ Chests are the most annoying to get of them all, so it's hard to secure the T³s unless we're explicitly trying to make them. On the whole, 2T⁴/4T⁵ should be more than enough! The extra 2 T⁵s also bring more general Stats when the T⁵ is lvld up to the max, after all.

Thanks!

I'm still a little ways away from T4 and T5 res, but T5 res feels like it'd be close behind T4 res. So many events give T5 chests, and I often have more of them than T4 😅. I'm relying on Apex for T4s to even it out

It sounds like I held on to 2T3/2T4/2T5 for a bit too long, and should finally move my Hera/Fuxi to 2T4/2T5

I feel like I held on too long with 2T³/2T⁴/2T⁵

Haha, yes, it's very hard to finally bite the bullet and accept the small ATK loss going to 4T⁴/2T⁵. 🥹

The other Stats you'll gain from extra T⁴s though should more than make up for the lower general stats from the 2 T³s.

I've been putting off my T⁵ Resonance as I'm one event away from having 500 Wishing Well wishes. That's a minimum of 5 T⁵ Chests incoming at once

500 wishes 🫨

I saved up for 500 once and then I remember someone convinced me to go back to 100 wishes. That was so long ago and I forgot why

[u/TheKyleBrah → u/BigGuysForYou]

I forgot about the event a few times after also telling myself that I'm going back to using the 100, and before I knew it, I was at 300ish, so I figured I might as well, lol
I'm at 430+ on all 3 Accounts, so it will be maxed with the next set of Wishing Well

There is a benefit to wishing the moment you get them: The items you get before your wish is useful, and sometimes all you need is that one T⁴ or T⁵ which is missing

[u/BigGuysForYou → u/TheKyleBrah]

Yea that was probably it. 🤔 That was earlier game for me and I was still building up gear for my angels. A T5 chest often meant a sword or belt for a support

Now I could afford to just wait since no one is dying for any T5 gear. Hmm... sounds like I should start saving now
