AC symbol

[Olon]

I know I have tried it, but forgot it now, but does a symbol that provides 40 count as g7,3 or g4 when stacking up hardest rares? So if it counts as g4, AC symbol will make it possible to have more possible ac than other dual class symbols.
I'd appreciate if you answered only if you know for a fact, no speculations please.

g7.3

It's been a long time since I last played DR, but from what I remember you can't go past a certian amount of +AC from blue rares, regardless of how you get there. I played on a server where G10s were easy to get and you could get to dual 5 in a few hours, and I couldn't get my mage past 243 AC, or some number around there, no matter what combination of rares/symbols I used.

Saying that a rare has a g20 max doesn't really mean anything for rares that aren't linear, like force or vigor (10,20,30,40,50, etc). Saying that g20 AC is the limit is simply a rough estimate. You may reach the AC cap with G17 or G23 or whatever, depending on how you get there, because AC isn't linear. For example, 5g1s is 30, but a g5 is 26. Using 20 g1s (if that were possible) would not allow you to have more AC than using 4 g5s.

Same with other rares like smart. g1 is 3, but g5 is 25. Using 2 g5s would total 50%, but it's capped at 39%, so you can use 13g1s for a total of 39% (if it were possible to equip that many). You're capped at 39%, no matter how you get there. 39% is what I heard from DingleBerry a long time ago, however, but there really isn't anyway to test for sure that I can think of. With AC it is easy to test, since it stops going up on your character sheet once you hit the cap, but your smart rare % isn't given anywhere.

But, like I said, it has been several years since I last played so I could be mistaken. This is just what I remember.

Max smart should be 37%.

[Olon]

So the max ac from blue rares should be 110 right?

[Noeyesee]

that is correct.
