Weapon Defense vs. Damage Taken

Bamboo hat - 35 def - equal to clean Great Helm, beats brown bandana easily.

Just... 35 def bamboo hat? Just... what the? Seriously? You must have landed some 30% Defense scrolls on that sucker or something, I've only ever seen them with like 15-17 defense.

I do agree though, defense scrolls don't add enough defense for their cost, as well as in comparison to stats. They should increase the amount def scrolls add just to balance it out.

Also, no level 3x, no matter how funded, can win at CPQ alone, so the damage dealt isn't that big a deal; so long as you're not losing CP by dying, right?

Edit:

I guess monster level is important too... :/

For sure. There's a lot of variables, which is why I haven't sat down and worked at cracking it (more than ocne) yet.
