Armor upgrades

[flolucarj]

Desert Armor stats: ARMOR, HP, Heat res, Fire Res - when upgrading, all these stats get +1.
Gold Tribe Archer Armor stats: ARMOR, HP, Heat Res, Ranged dmg - when upgrading, all stats EXCEPT Heat Res get +1. WHY not Heat Res as well ?

It increases for me as well. I've been switching from Desert to Golden (for the Crit %) and with the Medias Earings I'm way over the 41% Heat resistance required for Searing Expanse, and that's with only having 4/4 instead of 10/4 for each Armor piece.

I have taken a screenshot to show it (username - profile - screenshots: i kept only one for this purpose).
The armor (chest) piece is already upgraded once, it has 7 heat res (same res as before the upgrade). Trying to upgrade it to +2 it shows the heat res will stay the same, again (expected upgrades are green).
Edited: I have upgraded to +4 and res is still 7. Took another screenshot for reference.

I,ve upgraded every piece of that armor set and the heat resist always upgraded by 1

I've posted several screen shots check them for yourself. In the mean time try disassembling your equipment and remaking it.

I see what your problem is, that's not the desert armor set, that's the armor set you get by getting all the gold armor blue prints from the golden wing base. The desert armor is the armor thor gives you the blue prints for, when you get his manual back from Amira

you guys realize you have a chance of looting/crafting crude/good/excellent quality items which is a separate quality than the color of the item. it determines the base stats by about 30%+ you get an addition upgrade so 3/3 for crude, 4/4 for good which is what we normally find, and 5/5 for excellent. it seems that the crude 3/3 loses a stat and the 5/5 excellent gains a stat.

it took me a while to craft a full set of excellent heavy desert armor and ive got luckily looting some excellent quality items from bosses. makes a huge difference but that last 5/5 upgrade is 10% so those magic anvils start really coming in handy. I think the heat and fire resist is high enough on the 5/5 heavy desert armor (fully upgraded with flame ring, earing) to not need topaz at all, i think i can even switch to ant helm with no problem

wow steam really butcher screenshots, i used to be able to get these to preview on forms, hope the links at least work. shows my heavy desert armor and a crude, good, excellent piece to compare to
