Gold res is +4 for all also i am pretty sure you can get max of like 50 attack

But do elemental gold stats still drop after the patch? I have only come across purple +3.

58 dmg reduction I get.

I've actually tracked the attack stat ever since the nerf, here is the raw data of every + attack I've gotten since:

Note this include both red gourd and gold tools, obviously the highest ones all red gourd.

30, 24, 18, 30, 23, 27, 29, 27, 19, 22, 27, 21, 25, 25, 23,

22, 33, 18, 18, 20, 22, 25, 24, 30, 29, 25, 32, 23, 23, 27,

30, 19, 23, 28, 24, 27, 26, 25, 27, 22, 24, 21, 17, 20, 25,

30, 25, 30, 19, 19, 30, 21, 21, 29, 30, 39, 27, 26, 17, 25,

23, 26, 28, 27, 22, 21, 18, 28, 41, 26, 23, 23, 18, 24, 22,

27, 29, 18, 30, 28, 19, 27, 28, 25, 30, 18, 28, 26, 29, 29,

24, 19, 30, 28, 21, 25, 19, 17, 26, 26, 30, 19, 24, 19, 30,

26, 18, 19, 24, 29, 45, 17, 22, 20, 26, 22, 25, 17, 28, 26,

22, 26, 16, 26, 26, 28, 30, 21, 23, 35, 20, 24, 24, 30, 18,

20, 18, 22, 21, 18, 30, 17, 29, 28, 17, 24, 19, 16, 30, 19,

And here is the sorted stat:

16, 16, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 18, 18, 18, 18,

26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27,

27, 27, 27, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28,

29, 29, 29, 29, 29, 29, 29, 29, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30,

30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 32, 33, 35, 39, 41,

45

And here is the aggregate

16:	2
17:	9
18:	12
19:	13
20:	7
21:	10
22:	11
23:	10
24:	12
25:	11
26:	15
27:	11
28:	12
29:	8
30:	17
32:	1
33:	1
35:	1
39:	1
41:	1
45:	1

So 30s are pretty common, but higher than that would be rare, with the highest I got being a 45.

Wow, i didn't realize there was such a large nerf to the stats of the tools. I knew you got less orange stats post patch, but those numbers are almost half of what you used to get off the red gourd pre-patch. My highest attack stat is 84, with the rest in the 60s and 70s.

Before the stat nerfs, there were 3 tiers of gold stats. I'll just use attack as the example.

Highest tier rolls up to 80, available only on red gourds.

Middle tier rolls up to 70, available on any tool found in BF TI. Medium and hard BF has a much higher chance to roll stats from this tier.

Low tier rolls up to 50, available on any gold tool. All gold tools obtained from any TI must roll stats from at least this tier.

----

After the nerf, only the lowest tier of gold stats has a CHANCE to show up on red gourds. (with the +4 res ones being missing altogether). All other gold tools can no longer roll gold stats.

Update: Found a Life +49 and an Attack +46 today So apparently Attack does go up to +50.

Hi guys, the more pertinent question is whether we should get every resistance reforged into our ninja tools.

I saw a video of a guy afew weeks back and that is what he did.

I can see why he did it because this is the only way to get resist whereas power can be got from magatamas and runes.

So what are your views on this?

+4 are definitely worth using, I'd say fire, water, lightning, wind in that order of importance. Earth isn't really worth using because there is no commonly used ninja that does lots of earth damage.

+2 on the other hand... it's kinda meh.

When was the video published? ^^

If we could still get gold elemental resistance, then I say go for them. Best case scenario it could nullify your elemental penalty and help you survive a bit longer against elemental attack. Anything lower than gold (+3 purple and +2 blue) is not worth it. You'd have better chance going for actual resistance stats.

Cough... Roshi... cough...

For one, he is fire&earth hybrid, so fire, being #1 in the list, would already help.

For another, he actually doesn't hit all that hard, at least not if you don't boost him with attacks. It's usually the ignition and, in case of water immortal, poison that kills you. Those aren't reduced by resistance.

Its sad though, I only have 3 old ninja tools with the +4 resistance.

I'm not crazy enough to reforge away my level 17 old ninja tool just for that +4 resistance.. the exp lost is probably not worth it.

I thought that Oasis was going to put up tool essence for sale.. what happened to that idea?

Well, eventually all your tool will be 20, then you can raise another one as an exp bank so whatever new tool you get can instantly max level, then you wont have to worry about losing exp.

That said, that's going to be a REALLY long process, maybe a year or so... but it will happen eventually.

At the same time, the amount of exp required beyond lv 18 is HUGE. The amount of exp fo 18 to 20 is enough for 1 to 18. Given that, if you forgo the last 2 lvs, you can make a transfer much earlier.
