Armor Upgrades and Wicked Adamantine

[Cheerows]

So, how are the stats for each armor at +13? Base armor looks weak. Also, is there another way to earn wicked adamantine now or do we really have to grind The Crucible for them?

Okay so in which playthrough if any does Vulgrim start selling Chunks of Oblivion Ore I'm tired of trying to find more and I'm already on NG+4. Only have 1 so far.

First Chunks of Oblivion Ore start dropping in NG+5 in Bonelands only.

[~New.BabYLoN~]

Chunks of Oblivion don't drop until NG+7.

I think it's random on the Console version. Found the first chunk in NG+2 playing PS4. Just wanted to know if anyone has encountered Vulgrim sell it anytime during NG+ gameplay.

False. That spreadsheet is wrong. I already had a +10 armor in NG+5.

The black Angels in Bonelands drop Ore one tier higher than the rest of the game.

I can confirm Caius is right, I got Oblivion Chunks starting NG+5 as well although the drop rate for it is rather Rare.

You get 8 pieces of higher tier ore from the Bonelands per playthrough. I already got 8 Pieces of Oblivion Ore on NG+3. Same on NG+4 and then, on NG+5 Pieces started dropping from enemies other than the Bonelands Angels who started dropping Chunks.

So I expect to get another 8 Chunks from Bonelands on NG+6 before other enemies start dropping them on NG+7.

So you can have +11 Armor before even reaching NG+7.

Exactly, dunno if this is intentional or not but it’s still welcome anyways. Not complaining.

what are the difference between NG+1 and NG+9? For example.

Basically only enemy scaling.

Enemies are stronger for one,

other than that, new consumables dropped by enemies, armor upgrading, new loots replacing enchantments and respites' locations.
