so a level 2 book, will give you 5% damage - 6% damage - 7 - 7.5b
"Honestly a +5 top book is worth every penny, 100 element attack and defense plus the +4 artifacts are 12-14b each"
a rulers belt will also give you 8% damage - 9% damage received 25b
you can put tersi lv5 on your blessed exalted armor that is 7.2k pdef [if you put 6x Lv5 Tersis]( expect prices to drop, new ones are added soon) 4bx6 = 24b
On the new update there will be another jewel, so you can get a Blessed Valakas ffrom there.
get a R110 sigil and put 3x180 element from the areas you visit the most. 5b?
try to get a +5 greater kaliel bracelet ( at least) +3% pdef/mdef/pakt plus augument (auguments are important) 7.5-8b
get a 7signs, both pdef/mdef but extra 50 element attack ( stacks with Exalted Longing) 18b
a lv5 - 7 protection talisman and a +5 or better Sayha talisman, (blessed exalted sayha;s does not affect auguments) 15-25b
Honestly keep the blessed exalted bracelet, you get 5% pdef/mdef/patk/matk, just get a cancer like +7 for p skill crit RATE since you already have good augument on weapon
otherwise you need at least a lv3 or lv4 Bracelet and cost would be 200ish including +7 agathions
Maybe a G opal and a tanzanite , g opal for the element defense as well, and even a lv5 tanzanite can help you with your XPing 100bil + 40ish for the tanza
If you can get all the above, dread will be more enjoyable than dagger!
