For the Pit of Undying, you still benefit from a better gear. You need to come there with DP or human/mobs damages, your AP does not matter.

Go there with Kzarka, Nouver and typical AP accessories, you'll do nothing. Go there with Blackstar, kutum and DP or even yuria accessories, it will be really easy, only the strategies may be a difficulty against some opponents.

In the new area, the idea is the same : there are new formulas, but you still benefit from a better gear. For the first difficulty levels, attributes will be more important, but as they are capped, your gear will matter more for the highest levels.

So... Is that really capped?

On a side note, unless one of these bosses constantly spawn a swarm a mobs, it will be nice for classes which are more efficient on focused attacks. 

I personally do not bother enhancing accessories. A click with with crons - chance to go down. A click without crons - poof! Gone. If they don't do some changes about it, I won't even try my luck at all. Like use the crons to prevent an accessory getting destroyed, instead of a % chance to go down. I am not optimistic it will ever come...

And from what I heard so far there's close to no reason to aim for the best gear at this time. So many things capped.

Yes!

So... Tell me this cap at which it doesn't matter if you get more gear. ;) 

I have bs, kutum and epic DP and so what if these fights are already difficult, too long and frustrating, and the rewards are embarrassingly weak. If it wasn't for the fact that I have both infinity potions, I wouldn't even be able to complete main quest for pit.

Kzarka is even worse because attack speed is all that matters here. So it's stupid to create same time limited content for all classes when one has 4 skills per second and another has half a skill per second.

When the number of crones is equal to the acc value, the whole enchant does not make sense.

Interestingly, Korea got new manos accessories, indestructible, but the echant is so expensive and with an equally ridiculous chance of success that getting a pen is still unprofitable and impossible (5% chance for pen and 20 concentrated gems for one try, 200m per click).

And back to the island topic. Since the only sensible way to get new gloves is grind crystalized despair anyway, this new island don't exists for me.

Can you link to these new Manos accessories? I didn't see anything about them in the notes

This is an alternative to the current manos which no one wants to produce and enchant even after the ridiculous price increase to 150b for one pen manos.

For me, the fact that they don't disappear doesn't change anything, if I'm going to lose 200m per click, then each fail should increase the chance of success by 5%, only then would it make sense, especially since you will probably only have one set and you won't be able to sell them.

Thank you for the link. Personally, I'm glad they might be giving us an option to enhance a Manos accessory without it blowing up. I know what I like doing in this game, I'm not even thinking about selling any Manos for profit, so I'm fine with it if it's not sellable. Exploding gear in this game is my biggest gripe, downgrades are painful, but it's not burning it down to the ground completely.

Korea got nothing...

it's just the bdolytic site that displays this...
As long as it's not on the glab, it has no value

Thanks for the link, I'll keep an eye on this!
