Feeling a bit noob.

So I've got me lovely mino staff and irogen etc. But when I wear them both don't see any benefit of putting wings on too except appearance. Am i missing something?

 

• Correct, using magic devices with staffs don't give an extra bonus. Only time I've noticed a bonus is on swords, where they reduce cast time on charge by around 40%, but you lose around 10% attack.

 

So M. Device only benefit when being equipped with swords is only faster cast time? Does it mean no matter what high-leveled M. Device you wear it wont give extra stats?

 

Yeah, I'm sure it's to balance out the game. There would be no reason to use any other secondary, everyone would use m.devices.

 

Does this also applied to shield and knife?

 

No, it does not apply to shield and daggers. Shield and daggers stats are added to character stats once equipped.

 

Let me try to explain it more thoroughly...
Magic devices can be used as either primary or secondary. The stats are as good or almost as good as any other primary weapon. Thus, if you're able to obtain the stats when used as secondary, it'll be equivalent to having two primary weapon equipped. This would definitely make the mage class unbalanced.

 

Ok

 

So if I put on a dagger with my staff, with an xtal. I'll get that bonus?

 

Shields and daggers don't have Xtal slots.

 

Does refining shield/dagger as secondary or adding xtal to slotted M. Device as secondary raise stats?

 

Shields can be refined, and refinement gets added to stats.
Daggers cannot be refined.
M.device Xtal does not add to stats.

 

I tried refining my shield but my p.def and m.def didnt increase. Do i have to get shield skills first?

 

Nah, it's weird but u can't see the refinement value of most gear on the stat page, except for weapons.

 

Yeah, i tested it by refining armor but the stat didn't show up at window. The same probably applies to shield well, good to know tho

 

it seems odd having secondary that doesn't do much

 

Agreed
