Fusion Vs Ensorcell

[ladylyoko]

Honestly, when it comes to weapons and armor etc, etc I'm pretty clueless!

Can someone put it into layman's terms why I would prefer one over the other? I've currently got 6x or 7x fusion doubles with two orbs that are benefiting her attack, but I'm looking at 8x hcp t5 doubles.

Please someone educate me! I looked at GS Wiki and I get the general idea of what ensorcell is. I just need someone to tell me why one vs the other with a more educated opinion than my own.

Thank you ahead of time for your advice!

Well the good news is that fusion and ensorcell are compatible so you can have both!

They aren't mutually exclusive. You can have fusion and have ensorcell. In your example, you would be trading 2 fusion slots for already done HCP and already completed T5 ensorcell. You could get your fusion armor to have HCP and T5 ensorcell. You will probably never get that 8x armor to have fusion slots.

It does not need to be fusion or ensorcell, you can generally ensorcell fusion gear.

You would instead choose the 8x hcp t5 doubles mostly because of the heavy crit padding, the higher enchant, and the -10 CvA (equivalent to +10 TD) when cast upon.

Or you can have your fusion one ensorcelled and enchanted and padded and one day try to add a different armor mechanical script, like ethereal armor, forest armor, Voln armor, or Ithzir armor. Or even a fluff script if you don't too much.

Is it necessary (or easier to ensorcel) fusion gear by removing the enhancement orbs first? Or can they just stay in the fusion items and it doesn't affect the T1-T5 ensorcel difficulty?

Necessary depends on the ensorceller but it will make it more difficult if the orbs are in it. With a powerful enough sorc it may not make any difference in their chances though.

Ok! So on that note. How do I go about getting my current leathers ensorcelled? Is there someone in particular I can go ahead and just reach out to? Also: what about increasing the enchant? How do I know if it's something a wizard can't do or needs to be done by a merchant?

Again, thank y'all kindly! That's already been a huge help.

;chat on merchant Looking to buy a T1 ensorcell for 7x fusion armor.

Ensorcell is a service that sorcerers who know 735 can provide. THe more spell knowledge a sorcerer has the more difficult items they will be able to ensorcell. Look to pay 2m for T1, 3m T2, 4m T3, 5m T4, and 6m T6.

You can enchant fusion up to 7x by normal player means (technically CAN go higher with expensive/very rare potions but 7x is the standard player cap). The enchant process will again be made more difficult with orbs than without. Duskruin starts on Friday and you can get auto-enchant certificates (+5) or the rare 8-10x potions (NOT CHEAP!). I would suggest getting as much player possible work done before pushing the certificates on it though.

Nope, there is no pre-temper potion for over 7x fusion. A player can only take fusion armor to 7x max.
