[Daemon]

Brachyura Earring & Sheltered Ring

Hey guys I wanted to introduce to you these 2 pieces of gear and why one of the two can be good to carry with you at all times.

Brachyura Earring

[Ear] All Races
MP+20
Enhances effect of Protect and Shell spells cast on wearer
Lv. 91 Jobs

Sheltered Ring

[Ring] All Races
Adds "Regen" effect
Enhances effect of "Protect" and "Shell" spells cast on wearer
Lv.96 All Jobs

Before a mage in your group casts Protect & Shell equipping one of these items will allow you to receive extra Defence.
You can unequip after the spell has been casted. But lets take a closer look as how this is good.

Protectra +2 DEF
Protectra II +4 DEF
Protectra III +6 DEF
Protectra IV +8 DEF
Protectra V +10 DEF

Shellra -.4% MDT
Shellra II -.8% MDT
Shellra III -1.2% MDT
Shellra IV -1.6% MDT
Shellra V -2% MDT

This means if Protect V is casted on you, you will receive an additional +10 DEF added on top of the original spells given defense.

Terms: DEF = Defense MDT= Magic Damage Taken.
These stats will stay until the spell wears off regardless if you take off the Ring or Earring however you must be wearing one of the two before the spell is casted on you. Wearing both of these items at the same time does not stack to give you double stats.

Tip: Little details such as these can add up to making you more powerful in survival. So please do not overlook this.
