Optimization Academy of Lore: Armors, Shields


What this guide will do and what it will not do:
This guide is meant to give guidance of what is available for a character - advice on the equipment of each category and strategies complementing builds. While the suggestions given within the guide will be adequate in generic situations, it may not answer specific questions that will present itself as you play.

To ask for specific advice visit AQ Questions and Answers or other guides within this forum.

Players are expected to make decisions on their own to build characters to their liking in terms of aesthetics and playstyle through guidance in general strategies, we acknowledge that a less optimized character is viable to a certain extent.

Ward_Point explains how to use the advice within this guide

Weapon Specials, Skill, Spell, Guest, Pet, Potions use Neutral Lean as baseline, unaffected by Leans directly, unless in the form of penalties in exchange for equivalent functions on Spell/Guest/Pet or Equipment Full Set Bonuses such as Elemental Compensation applied to sources other than Armor/Shield and Offensive Lean Sets that changes modifies 100% proc to a no proc.
Defensive optimizes output to intake efficiency with Neutral Lean baseline equipment, while Offensive optimizes battle speed at worse efficiency and are more susceptible to be affected by enemies' damage caps.
Armors compressing built in Skills/Spells either follow weapon element or are locked to an element with compensation determined from the lowest product between (select one of the armor's eight resistances - shield)/Expected resistance at player level and 130/locked element position relative to the selected resistance's element according to the Elemental Wheel Correct 130, Ally 115, Neutral 100, Poor 85 or Opposite 70.
Old Standard Elemental Compensation's baseline of 1.3/.7 assumed Neutral Lean, to calculate the change in Lean mod from Neutral to Defensive, Mid Defensive subtract subtrahends .2, .1 or to Mid Offensive, Offensive add addends .125, .25.
Modern Standards shifted the baseline to Offensive Lean, resulting in a comparative minimum removal equivalent to .25 for a Skill/Spell of a baseline 200%, the calculation for Lean mod from Offensive subtracts .5*Lean for Mid Offensive, Neutral, (Mid) Defensive, the subtrahends are respectively .0625, .125, .175, .225.

Before May 8, 2008, percentages between Base and Random can be exchanged, 100% Stat per hit, only Temporary equipment with level tier scaling were exceptions namely Shiny Boy at Lv 60+ Stat% falls behind BR%, Lv 75+ RS% falls behind B%, Lv 90+ BR% becomes equal and S% remains behind.
Starting on July 17, 2008, BRS% have identical values among each other, this is discontinued after April 15, 2010.
Starting April 21, 2010, Armors have Standard Leans differing in proportions of points distributed among output, blocking and resistance, a comparison of the difference in standards May 27, 2010's Noble Cyber-Rex Rider against January 1, 2010's Frostval Spirit Armor, BR% increased by 37.89%, S% by 77.89%, this Interim standard is discontinued after August 05, 2010, March 7, 2013.
Starting on August 26, 2010, BR% increased by 36.25% and S% by 141.36% in a comparison Lesser Graceful Dracopyre against Fearsome Raiment.
Starting on November 15, 2012, after a comparison among Nemesis, Alnaphar's Overlord/Twilight/Communicant of their Standard Defensive/Neutral/Offensive Armor Lean points in Damage/Defence/Resistance showed deviation from the proportions set by Lean modifiers, Ballyhoo's Test Armours tested a new development, Armor Leans function through Status condition to apply a Lean modifier, the proportion of points distributed among blocking and resistance are based on Neutral Lean, which ensures actual performance of Leans are aligned with the Balance Standards they were designed from, on March 15, 2013, it became the official new Standard in an update to Leprechaun Power Au-rmour/Armors.
Starting on May 5, 2015, Armor compressed Skill/Spell of Weapon element or Seeking among the Standard Eight Elements use a new Standard without *.8 Power *1.2 Cost.

Shields compressing built in Skills/Spells are either non-elemental or locked to an element with compensation determined by subtracting .25 from the lowest product between (select one of the armor's eight resistances - shield)/Expected resistance at player level and 130/locked element position relative to the selected resistance's element according to the Elemental Wheel Correct 130, Ally 115, Neutral 100, Poor 85 or Opposite 70.
Compression Shields address an Adventurer's lack of a permanent Single element no drop shield and Guardian's choice of Neutral element for No drops.
