AF+1 for COR

[Xavierus]

I just recieved both materials needed to make my first piece of AF+1 and was looking for opinions on the order in which to upgrade. I was thinking this order:

AF1 Body > AF1 Head > AF1 Feet >> AF1 Legs and Hands

Do you feel this would be an accurate order, or would you do the head piece first? I currently have the Pahluwan Body and no substitutes for the AF1 Head.

Also, is the AF1+1 body better tahn the Pahluwan Body??

Thanks

[Valkrish]

biggest change in damage for detonator/slug

feet -> head -> body

if possible, try to add in skadi, enkidu harness, or something of personal interest =)

There will be other comments/suggestions, but i think upgrading af1 in that order is pretty good. (bigger difference in mods for ws)

[Massimo]

I would personally go Feet > Head >> Body.

[Callisto]

Agreed with the two above, which is the path I would plan to take, if you weren't a total liar by implying that the Temenos drop actually exists.

[Silverbane]

How could you not go feet first? One of the best damm AF1 upgrade i see for any job.

[Callisto]

The body piece is still a nice Slug piece, it's just the as Silverbane says the relative increase to the feet is massive, and the head is only slightly less improved, aside from both of those being the single best WS pieces in their slots hands down.

[Bakthi]

Not to mention both the head and feet being the best Quick Draw pieces too (as far as I can see). I actually went for the head first, but fortunately managed to get the feet shortly thereafter.

I don't have plans to go for the body; I have Pahluwan and Denali, and I'm actually 3/3 on Skadi body, but that's going to have to wait for a while. If I were completely OCD, I guess I could go for the hand for stoneskin/cures while /WHM, but that's about it. I wouldn't go for the legs unless you're sure you'll never do Nyzul, and maybe not even then.

This, I'm glad I went with feet first since they are a fucking awesome improvement over NQ and body was going to be 2nd until I got my Denali jacket so now hat is next(which is smarter anyway TBH). I just wish I could see some COR drops lol

Elvaan RSE beat the +1 feet by a whole 1 AGI! :b

And [number of people who've said this so far]-ing Feet > Head > Body. Camped Temenos last week to complete my first upgrade and the shoes are so sexy. :3

[Starr]

If I already had Skadi Feet, I'd go head>feet, othersise feet>head. Body always being 3rd.

[Kerberoz]

If you already have Skadi, then feet aren't as huge of an improvement. I have head done, and will probably do feet next.... but body looks nice too. I currently only have pahluwan body for ranged...

[Callisto]

Last I checked 5 STR/5 AGI/4 RAcc is a pretty substantial improvement over 3 STR/0 AGI/5 RAcc for WS, and Skadi does nothing for QD. I'd still take feet first.

[Silverbane]

Only thing that Skadi set offers me is hand ,legs and maybe body to pose in while in town.I would say combination of AF1 upgrade,Relic upgrade and a few Denali is all you need.

[Callisto]

If you really want to tweak things out(barring Skadi body) the AF+1 body gives you a nice opportunity to trade CFG's for Skadi hands for some extra bang while retaining the same amount of RAcc as a different setup, and profiting a few extra RAtk.

[Darcatvar]

Because I am a solo/quick draw whore I did head first just need one piece for feet. Body is decent probably best to tp shoot in.

[jimbobsonofgod]

Call me crazy I did head first then feet now 1/2 way to body.

(although keep in mind I always had to keep Cor AF stored cause of inventory space issues.)

[Callisto]

Ugh don't get me started on having to request the crap to store the set once I upgrade a few pieces, hopefully prices for the mats have gone down

[jimbobsonofgod]

yeah i just took out of storage tossed legs and hands. Gonna HQ body then finish requesting.
I started doing AFweapon already since you need several lamia fang keys along the way .....

[Kilhart]

Feet > Head > Body in most cases. Hands and Legs are a waste.

this.

Personally, I'm going Hat > Feet > Body. If 1 AGI = 0.5 Magic Acc (not proven. ALso assuming M. Acc affects QD), then my Denali Boots would be better for Quick Draw than the AF+1 boots (albeit *barely*). I'm trying to work on a really good QD setup, so I'll get more benefit out of it.

But there's nothing wrong with boots first. Depends on how you play your COR, they're both phenomenal pieces.

Body piece vs Denali for SLug Shot I'd be interested in seeing some parses.

[Xrave]

I'm an Elvaan with RSE2 feet and Skadi feet so my order is hat > feet > body.

When I am on COR, 90% of the time it's for HNMs where i'm not meleeing or shooting so it's QD only and the RSE2 feet are better.

[Jem]

I personally went for the Hat first and intend doing Hat > Feet > Body (Pending on Skadi). The way I worked it out was:

The hat is +4 AGI on QD's except Light and Dark as well as +2 STR, +4 AGI and +1 R. Acc on shooting and WS. Also invent space +1 (used Cactuar Ribbon for Light and Dark Shot).

Feet are +2 STR, +5 AGI and -1 R. Acc on shooting and WS.


In my mind the Hat came out better but equipment differs from person to person. I used NQ Hat before I got the HQ and currently use Skadi Feet. I QD in Denali Feet. I also use COR for HNM's a lot more than I do casual play so I don't really get to WS and shoot that often but I will be QD'ing frequently.


I do buy into the whole QD being affected by M. Acc purely because with Warlock's Roll and/or Elemental Staves I get resisted far less. This is really evident against HNM's and also on Salvage bosses where I don't get an Incus Cell. Obviously the exact AGI to Magic Conversion isn't known so it's hard to call between AF +1 Feet and Denali.

[Vedder]

Feet then Head, don't think I'll be doing Body.

I have Pahluwan Khazagand and Denali Jacket already, so the AF+1 Body isn't going to give me much those don't... especially since I hope to get Skadi's Cuirie one day.

After doing the first two though, I'll probably snag the upgrade materials for a 3rd if no one else wants them in case I change my mind. >.>

Put the crack pipe down a moment and realise that 1 STR 5 AGI -1 Ranged Accuracy isn't as much of an increase as AF+1 hat would be over NQ or OHat if you already own Skadi feet.

I went Feet > Head > Body

Skadi body seems meh now for COR really and not worth the 9-10 million price tag.

I have body+1 for slugshot/shooting for TP and Enkidu's harness for melee TP so Skadi body is over all useless.

In fact, the only skadi piece that seems worth it now is legs for COR imo.

Skadi body is still the best piece (not to mention 1 saved inventory slot); however being worth the money is debatable.

Also Skadi hands are still the best QD piece.
