<big><span style="color:#871b1b">Gaebolg and Yorscalp Gear</span></big><br> | |||
[[21_Age_of_Heroes#Equipment|Gaebolg and Yorscalp Gear]] are both powerful gears that will provide an increase in damage from Phase 4 (especially Yorscalp). However, due to the high cost of resources, high reputation costs, and the difficult mvps/instances needed to create and enchant these gears, I do not currently recommend them as an intermediate step between Phases 4 and 5. Instead, I recommend that you go directly to Phase 5. | |||
==== Phase Five ==== | ==== Phase Five ==== | ||
Phase Five revolves around the gear you get from Constellation Tower, Alice Twisted Madness, Biosphere Depths and Depths 2. | |||
The Enchants on the Stellar Spell Seal provide a large boost in VCT reduction that you may need after losing the Convertible Magical Wing and Wolf Robe, so I would prioritize this if you are having trouble with VCT. | The Enchants on the Stellar Spell Seal provide a large boost in VCT reduction that you may need after losing the Convertible Magical Wing and Wolf Robe, so I would prioritize this if you are having trouble with VCT. | ||

The Items from Alice Twisted Madness can provide S.Matk and Magic Damage with Element or provide a lot of VCT Reduction. You should get enchants according to the amount of VCT reduction you need for your build. | The Items from Alice Twisted Madness can provide S.Matk and Magic Damage with Element or provide a lot of VCT Reduction.

==== Phase Six ==== | |||
AKA the final phase. Phase Six involves the toughest gear to get from Hall of Life and Chapter 1. | |||
Need further testing on Frontier vs TDRC, but Frontier should be better in theory. | |||
