Create an item with maximum defense   This is the procedure to follow to create an item with the maximum defense. Create your item and depending on the item chosen you have two possibilities: 1 - The item is socketable, armor, helm, shield,  weapon. 2 - The item is not socketable (amulet, rings, belts, boots or gloves) Depending on the type you've chosen you'll get more or less defense. The first's will rely on gems to be upgraded. the other's won't. Now you have your item, if you don't handle the creating of it go and buy it on the game, then go back to Hero Editor and take off all the addings as follow: Right click on the item, then activate "Specific Editing Fonctions" then "Delete all magic Attributes" as on the screenshot underneath.   Once this is done, click on to  "Defense (If Available)"   then on "Change defense" put 2037 on the item. Then follow the same procedure on "Durability (If Available)" and on  "Make Indestructible". Now let's get on to Magic adds which will increase your defense up to 2037 .... Same procedure then click on to "Magic Attribute Editing". See below the window which opens:   If your item is "socketable" go to "Basic 1" then click on to "Item socketed flag" then on the right hand window on "Socketed Bolean" activate "1 True". This will make your item become socketable. In "Other" activate "Number of Socket" and on the right hand side window put the number x indicated above  in "max = x for Present Item" in the case below. Your item is now socketed up to the normal maximum. Now let's oversocket it. Go to  "Magic", activate "Magic attribut 1" in the right hand window then in  "All Magic" activate "Extra" and scroll down to  "Increased Socket", click on it and put  "15". A this stage save your item by clicking on to "Save modified Item" then on "Save" your char. If you open your char in the game, you'll notice that your item has now  (x+15) Sockets. As for example your item with normaly 6 sockets , will now have (6+15)sockets. Activate now "Magic 2" and you're going to to set the Magic 2,3,4, etc. with the one's of the following board: Magic 2 Defense Defense  2037 Magic 3 Defense  Enhanced defense % 511 Magic 4 By Level Defense (On Lvl)   63 Magic 5 By Level Enhanced Defense (On Lvl)  63 Magic 6 Defense Def vs Missiles  511 Magic 6 Defense Def vs Melee  255 Magic 7 Defense  Reduce Monster Defense per Hit -128 Magic 8 Reduce Damage reduced By 63 Magic 9 Reduce Damage reduced By % 255 Magic10 Reduce Magic Dmg Reduced By 63 you have now a defense up to the maximum, the number indicated for this item will also depend on your char's level. For a char with maximum stats (1023 et 8191) level 99, the item will be up to 31130. Download of this item, which is for the moment an amor with 19 empty sockets. You can améliorate your defense by adding in "By Time" (By Time) and "Defense %" (By Time).  Magic 12   By Time Defense (By Time)  0, During Daytime 767/767 Magic 13  By Time  Defense % (By Time)  0, During Daytime 767/767  For the 99 level char, the item will go up to 276.546.   Of course we can put it up a lot more by adding jewels in LOD. Those will be active but non visible for the non LOD players. Now let's create the jewels necessary to boost up this item. To create a jewel, click on "Extra" at the bottom of the main window, then on "Item/character create" in the opening window. Then on the  le (+) of "All Items" top left. Then on  "Misc" ,  "Other" and  "Jewel" . Then last on "save Item to pickedUp" . Close that window, and click on an empty case of your inventory. Save your char. Put the defense stats on this jewel. Then copy/past it several times in your inventory. Download  This jewel. Save your char and socket your item one by one to see the final changes. But watch out ther is a limit and your item will but, so 999.999 is probably the limit but as I'm not yet sure it is still to be proved. Now if you manage to go over, please let us know. A small gift... Download an armor socketed with 2 "defense" jewels + 2  "absorb and resist all" jewels.
