Enhancements: When is it a good idea to use Advanced Enhances? For simplicity, assume that regular Enhancements cost pretty much nothing.
1st slot: 1 Adv. = 1.25 protects
2nd slot: 1.111 Adv + 1.111 Protect = 1.43 Protects (1 Adv = 0.286 protects)
3rd slot: 1.25 Adv + 1.25 Protect = 1.66 Protects (1 Adv = 0.333 protects)
4th slot: 1.43 Adv + 1.43 Protect = 2 Protects (1 Adv = 0.399 protects)
5th slot: 1.66 Adv + 1.66 Protect = 2.5 Protects (1 Adv = 0.5 protects)
6th slot: 2 Adv + 2 Protect = 3.33 Protects (1 Adv = 0.666 protects)
7th slot: 2.5 Adv + 2.5 Protect = 5 Protects (1 Adv = 1 protect)
8th slot: 3.33 Adv + 3.33 Protect = 10 Protects (1 Adv = 2 protects)
So take the NX conversion ratio, say 1k = 25mil, multiply by the cost of a protection scroll (8k? I don't know), and by that ratio (say 0.5 for the 5th enhancement) and you get 100mil as the equal cost of an Adv. Enhancement. If you can get Adv. Enhancements cheaper, use them, otherwise you just want to use more Protection scrolls.
Really, until the 8th star (400m per Adv.) I'd say it's not worth bothering with Adv. Enhancements.
Yeah I personally didn't even want to confront that, just scrolling with the 20's is enough for me. However, have you considered the reg enhancements to be better? 20% diff, but they are nearly 95% cheaper.
