Stockpiling armor spheres?

[Fritzgerald]

I'm upgrading my armor so often, is it wasteful to use armor spheres on early armor? What have you guys been doing with them?

yeah you should be saving those for your end game armor sets. eq gets outclassed so quickly spending them is pointless atm.

I used mine on High Rank Legiana armor and it should carry me all the way to end game gear.

As long as you keep doing Bounties, You'll never not have enough Armor Spheres.
as long as you're not replacing your armor every new monster, you'll not run out.

Meh, the game showers you with spheres though. I wouldn't sweat using a few of them

[Dr Nighty]

Just use them, you'll always have plenty

i'm actually constantly upgrading my armor to the max available :D in no rush to get to the end game sets etc... just enjoying the hunting.

Don't bother upgrading low rank armor.

Although people are saying to keep your armor spheres. Its overall better to upgrade a Low Rank armor that has high DEF so that you can bring it to HIgh Rank and farm a HR armor to replace it. Use those low level armor spheres to upgrade the LR armor and save the Armor Sphere+ for HR armor.

basically if possible dont waste them on low rank armor.

the best time to use em is when you've got a set you like, but you notice you take a hit from a fairly weak move and it hurts like hell. that extra defense those balls provide will mitigate that and allow you to continue to use that set for longer.

never use it on low rank armor

NEVER!

Don't level up your low rank armor. Only time to level up/forge new armor is when you are getting one shot by monsters.
Just try to get the armor skill Divine Blessing to level3. At level 3 when ever you get hit, you have a chance for the damage to be reduced by 50%.
