Tools to help with enhancing for best potential versus time/$ spent!

Also I would like to do a "quote' that Fury put up a while back:

This is my completely Enhanced to max Valkyrie using 8 - 16 method. Actually 17 maxes to make this, using 8 cards! Final stats. This is the maximum enhance. Took forever and cost A LOT!

I just recently finished EVOing my Valkyrie. I used 6 Hilds and maxed all of them before each evolve including the base hilds (which I wish I did not as it was not quite worth the extra stats from them).

The final stats are:
14166/9524

Fury's stats for his epic EVO method is:
14244/9590

A raw EVo'd Val gets you:
12515/8282

I hope this is a good example to show what can be expected from nothing, to middle-ground, to all out.

I believe the general consensus is that there is very little difference. The main difference comes from the rarity....Normal, HN, and Rare. (Angel is a given). So if you evolve a Normal to ++, you're better off just sacrificing 3 normals (unless you just have an endless supply and tons of time on your hands).

Enhancing with evolved cards or not is the question?.....I think a study needs to be done to see what the cost and effectiveness is using evolved feeders vs non-evolved feeders. Anyone know?

I'm doing 6-4 on Val and it is going to take more rupees than I have, so I kind of wish I found this info earlier because then I would have only maxed the 2 ++ S Hilds.

Fact: The variation closest to final is what gives the biggest boost when maxed.
So maxing 2 regular Hilds would be a lot less effective than the 2 ++ SHilds.

For 6-6 you take the following steps (using Kratos as an example):

1) Combine a Kratos and a Kratos into a Kratos+.
2) Combine a Kratos+ [MAXED] and a Kratos [MAXED] into Kratos++.
3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have two Kratos++.
4) Combine the Kratos++ [MAXED] and Kratos++ [MAXED].

ok so how do we do the 6 - 6

1 <--max(1)
1 <--max(2)
1 <--max(3)
1 <--max(4)
1 <--max(5)
1 <--max(6)

1m+1m = 2 <--max(7)

2m+1m = 3 <--max(

3m+1m = final

waaa im confused guys help

6 - 6 Seems to be the sweet spot with a 98% yield, but 6 - 4 is also good, really depends on the card and how much you love it

4-2 is good. 6-4 or 2 Seems to be great too as long as you have the cards and time. That's the kicker.

And agreed on the chart

I prefer at least 6-7 for High Rares and below, it's not hard to get another two High Rares and it puts you within half a percent of maximum value.

EDIT: That's an awesome enhancement chart, btw.

4-2 enhance is the best for all below SR imo

I'm not sure if we all know about this tool, but just in case I'm linking it since I just found it myself:

sites.google.com/site/gamingank/home/rage-of-bahamut/card-build-stats

It has an applet as well that lets you check each individual card (except Hild and non evolvables it seems). It's pretty stinkin' sweet. (Minus the stinkyness :p)


Also this one is good for a quick reference:

Do any of you know of similar tools/Tutorial pages?

Keep up the growth everybody!
