Well using brute force on humans isn't that effective, hmm what about forging materials specifically the magical ore, I've used the magic stone on enemies on lower levels and it really helped quite a lot due to how when I threw the material at them it actually inflicted elemental weakness damage. Though the issue would be if you could carry the magical ores to begin with due to how your also carrying other equipment with you, unless you plan on using lift rings to help with the excess wieght, but you'd have to be willing to let the rings experience erosion the longer you use them and as of now I think there's no easy way to get the same ring twice without either A:Buying the rings from skewer or B: Relying on the soul Statue for a chance to get the ring you need.
I don't really understand why you need to prep against human enemies specifically. I try to carry as few weapons as I can get away with so I have more room for loot and I don't get the feeling that human enemies are particularly dangerous.
Anyhow, the thing I really wanted to know about was whether a magic weapon (of no particular element) enhanced with magic crystals could match up to a physical weapon enhanced with tintstone if both had the same amount of enhancements.
To explain my point of view, tinstone has 13 tenacity, but every other ore/crystal has a sum of 10 or less points in tenacity and magic. Magic crystals seem to give the most magic, but it's only 6 magic and it comes with 2 tenacity. Looking at the numbers, it seems like you're getting a much better deal with 13 points than 8. It doesn't make sense to me why that is the case, considering that the discarded steel (6/0) and magic silver (2/4) are equivalent sums. The only possibilities I can think of is either magic does much more damage than its value implies, tintstone is freakishly unbalanced for some reasons, or the additional effect "Random Damage Up" is making up the difference in stats. I've been unlucky with magic crystals, so I haven't been able to make a side-by-side comparison.
Also what I meant was having an accessory with the monster girl elemental abilities in the inventory just in case you get a weapon that has the same element attribute like the skill
I think compensating with skills on accessories makes sense, but why monster girl skills specifically? They can be pretty cool, but most of them aren't that good. I try not to equip accessories too often because it's a pain in the ass to enchant spares when one breaks. Monster girl drops and weapon shards are a bit harder to come by too.
