Alright I went shopping and picked up some cool equipment. I will list them all below and ask that someone help me with a few questions that I have about them. Hopefully Bort or someone in the know can answer these questions quickly and accurately.

1) Level 31 CB
Superior Yellow Shirt (+2 tackling, Intercept chance +3%)
Superior Eye Black (+2 agility, Catch the ball chance +5%)

Now if I play with both of these equipped does this mean I have a +8% on picking a ball off? Also, if I spend 10 bonus tokens to boost this will it boost both attributes?
Example: If I boost the S Eye Black will agility go up and catch the ball chance go up, or just on or the other. Also does the equpiment allow you to boost (double) what its initial quality is or will I be only allowed to boost the agility +1 and the % on catching by 1% as well?

2) Level 14 K
Superior Yellow shirt (+1 confidence, +1 Big Boot SA)
Superior Black Shoes (+2 Stamina, +1 Automatic SA)
Will boosting increase my SA's as well as the skills?

I guess I need to know what boosting these pieces of equipment does. It seems to me if you are having to use 10 tokens to boost the equipment should duplicate the intial skills and add it onto itself like the normal equipment does.
Example: Normal Shoes start with a +1 skill, when boosting you get an additional +1 skill to add to its original value. If this were the case then the Superior Black shoes listed above when boosted would give you an additional +2 stamina and +1 Automatic SA, giving you a piece of equipment after your 1st boost that has +4 stamina and +2 Automatic SA.
It seems to me that if you have to spend 50 training pts to boost your equipment (train on intense=5 training pts= 1 bonus token) which you could only do once a season (2pts per day, means 25 days until you have 50 training pts and there are only 40 days in a season) you would almost have to incorporate the doubling method to make it worth while. Otherwise you would simple spend the 4 or 5 bonus tokens to increase and skill by +1.

Someone please clarify this for me, thanks a ton for your time.

I'm pretty sure it just give +1 to the stat, not the SA, which is a real drag.

I believe the equipment needs to explained more. What happens if I upgrade an item that gives me a percent more to do something? (i.e. Intercept chance +3%) or an item that has a SA? Does the SA goes up (doubtful).

I would really like to know what happens before I take the risk and use ten bonus tokens for something.

Also, if there is a place that explains this well, please direct me to it, I haven't seen any around, but admittedly I haven't looked that hard for a thread about what I talked about.

Right now it's just a +1 attribute for 10 bonus tokens(as stated in the FAQ) though we are debating additional ideas in the suggestions forum, so things might change a bit as the season goes on. Right now I'm leaning towards increasing the bonuses on SA's and % chances as well when you upgrade, but we're not 100% decided on that one.

That would be interesting. I guess this isn't really the place to debate it, but I think adding to SAs might be too much. Adding 1% chance (or maybe a little more) to things sounds cool though.

That would make Adv equipment more attractive.

Ah, thanks Bort.

My level 1 guard just got an the options for two different items with a +1 Pass Block SA (Superior Blue Gloves and Superior Grey Cleats), and another item with hold block chance +2% (Superior Blue Visor).

Which should I get? The first two cost $10,000 while the third one only costs 2,000, so I would have to wait a long time for the first two, while I can wait about 4 more days for the third one.

That would be awesome bort. It would really make the adv. equipment look a lot more appealling.

Can advanced equipment be upgraded mutliple times as long as you have 10 bonus tokens per upgrade? Is there an upper limit to this?

Inquiring minds need to know!

From what I understand you get to upgrade this once every 8 levels, just like normal equipment. So if you are a level 32 player then once you buy it, you have an option to level it up 4 times, then once you hit 40 you can do it a 5th.

And this is retrospective? As soon as a lvl 32 player gets the advanced equipment, he could upgrade it 4 times as long as he has the necessary amount of bonus points required?

That is how I took it. Now it would take you 25 days to upgrade it once (2pts per day, 5pts per bonus token) but theoretically if you had 40 bonus tokens you could do it 4 times immediately.

Please do not upgrade the SAs on equipment. Then there will be a boatload of broken players out there that are near invincible. Leave the upgrading as is, just lower the Bonus Tokens needed for upgrading.

That would be excellent!

I'm also hoping you might consider lowering the bonus tokens needed to upgrade to 8 or so. Right now 10 will only allow one increase a season which really doesn't let any moderately high level player ever catch that item up to his other items. 8 would allow 2 upgrades a season, which seems decently fast enough to 'catch them up'
