[Syotos]

i'm trying to get higher defense to progress further up , but my D seems to just halted. i have mix of the 2 pieces that give % defense but just cant seem to find any way to get it higher to do boss's like defecus , the hourglass , or any of the starting of world 3

AFK chop tropilogs for potential defense statues.
Alchemy: 9th bubble (VII)(Yes, I know that is a seven) of orange Power Cauldron FMJ
Cards: Oak Logs, Forest Soul, Sheepie

Since you've stepped into world 3, work on Building the Isaccian Shrine which raises max HP and defense.
Also, Goblet of Hemogoblin star talent is pretty amazing for survivability. I'm not at all a high end player, but I've got a Squire with 15k max damage and only 200 defense farming Sheepies (334 defense for no damage) at 100% survivability with no food because of level 30 Hemoglobin, and 3900 max HP.
If you can get 1 character set up enough to farm Sheepies and 1 to farm Dementia ore, that's enough to start pumping out full sets of Dementia Armour, but I'd recommend Efaunt crafted for the Chest and Legs. It's a good time to set everyone to gathering and just spend a week or so making gear.

That sounds like a secret quest, and I don't think it is actually reasonable to reach that much defense.

I used a bow to keep my distance and always kept the rope down into the mimic hole available for hiding from the boss. Defense so the mimics can't hurt you, which I assume you already have enough for, and a lot of time for a long fight is all you need.

I killed the Hourglass boss by getting required defense for it, but I used a lot of seasonal stones and cards too. combining platinum and amorak gear, making rings and tools (and a new weapon) specifically to use +3 defense summer stones on, and there was a Valenslimes card with +12% defense from equipment. If you don't have a bunch of that seasonal stuff it's gonna be hard hitting the 594 defense needed. Also, there's 2 star signs you can equip for a combined 11% defense also. Pool all your golden meat pies onto your Jman, etc.

sadly my miner is struggling to mine plat at a snails pace of 294 an hour pace and im not sure why when he's almost level 40 mining with all effenciency i can get except the pants so far (working on em) . but i might try that method out for making a pure def set, i stacked the summer event stones so i should be able to

Weird my miner at the same level with the same upgraded efficiency mines dementia easily.

If still looking for DEF there is also the Dungeon FLURBO shop giving %Def (max +50%) and Starsigns (first page) has 11% Def (5+6 need to reach the equip 2 node).
