My avatar just acquired a very fine silver breastplate with four charm pits and other bonuses. I don’t have any gold charms right now, but looking to the future when I will probably get some, I’m wondering if I should use them on this breastplate. I’m thinking, “This is a silver breastplate. What if I run into a gold breastplate? Should I save gold charms for the gold breastplate? Should I go ahead and use the silver charms that I now have?”

Is or is not the game trying to give me a hint? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Query: How do posters put those thumbnail portraits to the left of their messages? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Check the FAQ for you to get an avatar...
Here are some...
http://lariancom.siteprotect.net/ub...&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

IMO save thr charms, till you get really good armour - something you feel will last you to the very end of the game. Once you put the charms into their place, they can't be removed, so if you find better aurmor - you throw the charms away!

Hope that helps!

Solipso, is it just a silver breastplate or one that has an additional description? There is one special armour that needs a special upgrade.

Thank you all, especially Kiya. With the helpful key word, "avatar", I was able to get myself a portrait (the same one I use on 3DO's message boards). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Indeed, Kiya, the name ("Silver Breastplate") and textual description of the breastplate you posted does match mine, but with these exceptions regarding charms and enhancements: Charm Quality 4, +6 Agility, +8 Constitution, +20 Resistance To Fire, +20 Resistance To Poison, +5 Resistance To Spirit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I'm still unsure if I should use any of my silver, bronze, and aluminum charms on it, but not so worried that I'm looking for spoiler advice. (Please refrain.) I was just wondering if game designers might have thought it appropriate to spend silver charms on silver armor and to save gold charms for gold armor. (I don't think so.) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

As with all items, stats are random, the description was the important thing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> - yours is much better than mine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> . So to answer your first question - is this a hint - the hint is in this description.

I am a bit confused too:
The only special thing about this silver breastplate (on kiya's screenshot) is the 5 charm slots?
Because I wear that plate right now so I wonder if the text only ment that I should use charms?

No, the armour description says it needs something special to upgrade - and this "correct enchantment" is more than using normal charms (of course you can use charms, but that's nothing special). The thread writer didn't want spoilers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> - I'm trying my best to hint.

Lews, the gamer had 2 questions: one dealing with his avatar pic - one with the silver armour.
I'm not good at hinting, no clue if you spoiled/hinted <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
