Question About The Nut Items

[legion]

I have a resistant nut (L) and I want to use it on my currently level 60 ophilia but she already has 999 elemental defense. I saved my game and used it on her and the game still let me but I thought it wouldn't but does it actually raise her elemental defense even if it shows on screen that it can't go any higher? or should I use it on one of my other characters?

999 is the max you can have.
However, if you take off all the armor before you use the nut, you'll see that, of course, it raises it.
The way it actually works is that your character has a separate set of 'extra' stats given by nuts. So when you use that nut, it'll add 36/37 (not sure which) points in a separate area of the save file.
So you could use the nut on her and give her worse armor, or give it to someone else and keep her with the 999 as it is.

Alright I see. Sounds like it's just better to use it on someone else then. Thank you for your help
