Level 165 / 168 / 170 / 170+ equipment upgrade guide

Introduction

Level 165 / 168 / 170 / 170+ sets were first introduced in the The Defense of YIzhou version.

These sets can be upgraded at Equipment Enhancement Great Master in Yizhou [-105 / -60] on Taiwan island.

   
   Name: Equipment Enhancement Great Master
   Location: Yizhou
   Coordinates: [-105 / -60]











They consist of 3 set types. Offensive set named Export, defensive set named Defensive and support set named Healing. More details about them can be found in sections below. It is possible to convert one set to another at the same NPC.

Export set

Export set is a hitter set. Made specifically to deal huge amount of damage. The downside of this set is that it doesn't have anything special on the defensive side.

Export set is the best set for PVE due to the high damage output, as it makes running instances much faster. Even without its defensive capabilities, it can be used to tank almost all instances.

Export set requires 6 pieces for the ultimate bonus (weapon, armor, necklace, two badges and a single ring). This set has a helmet, but its not required for the ultimate bonus. Helmets skill is not really good compared to the one from Davis' Helmet, so its recommended to keep Davis' helmet for as long as possible. Even though the ring has less damage bonus than Farrell's Ring, and only one is required for the ultimate bonus,  its a good idea to upgrade both rings, since it opens more room Forging.

Defense set

Defense set is a tank set. Made specifically to absorb incoming damage. It has the ability to reduce the incoming critical damage. The downside of this set is that it doesn't have anything special on the offensive side.

Defensive set is good for both PVP and PVE, although doing some instances in it might take a longer time than with export set and depends on the setup, some instances like high level Golden Tower may not be completable.

Defense set requires 6 pieces for the ultimate bonus (weapon, helmet, armor, two badges and a single ring).

Healing set

Healing set has been made specifically for Armed Businessmans. It provides various healing bonuses to the user.

Healing set is not a viable set to use in active solo PVE and PVP. It is supposed to be an assistance set, meaning the player should use it in a team to heal his teammates, not for fighting. This set is most often used by AB alts.

Healing set requires 6 pieces for the ultimate bonus (helmet, necklace, two badges and two rings). This set doesn't have an armor so the best course of action is to craft an armor from the spare 160 Farell set as it provides highest SP bonus. This set also doesn't have a weapon. In order to maximize healing, the best course of action would be to use the Bloodknight weapon from the colonies as its the only weapon in game that gives SP bonus.
