Some people sell eth HOZ and eth monarchs
What can you do with such items?
eth monarchs are useful to make spirit in it as it it the only spirit variant to be possible to equip on a a3 merc without str gear and using fcr/skills items for him.
Eth monarch = spirit -10 str req. when it breaks, you make a new one, because it is very cheap.
Eth zak = insert your zod here.
But if you insert zod into hoz and then take it out it remains indestructible or not?
I heard that a long while ago in the original game but never tried it.
definitely not, with zod slotted it has the zod modifier, when you remove it the mod goes with it
that was a bug which was fixed long ago.
upgraded eth hoz with 200% def is certainly interesting from a defensive point.
Exile has certainly higher def but lacking the skills.
more a niche than anything, really.
