Since writing about the weapon elemental enhancements i’ve had a couple of players ask me why they took more damage when enhancing their armor.

The armor is different than the weapons when enhanced, when you enhance a weapon with say Fire your attack will increase against Water or Ice monsters. When you add Fire to your armor this is what you become more resistant to, here is an example.

Let’s say your going to run Big Red for a few days, you want your attacks to be at a maximum while minimizing the damage you take, so you enhance your sword or spear with Water element for attack. When you add an element to your armor it shouldn’t be Water it should be fire, this makes you more resistant to fire attacks.

If you made the mistake of adding Water to your armor this could be the reason Big Red was giving you more damage. I’m not 100% sure on this as it could be a number of things, could be you’ve reached a higher Guild Rank and moved onto enemies with higher attack rates, i’m just writing what I think could be the reason as the question was asked after me writing the post about elemental enhancements.

Feel free to come back and let me know if this made a difference.
