thx for all these inputs, still can learn a thing or 2 after all these years.

btw, a final question about this topic, let's say, i wanna upgrade magefist, max def after 2 upping is 98

if the 1st upgrade is not 71, let's say 68, does it mean no way i can get 98 def for the 2nd upgrade?

second upgrade is independent on first, result of the first one does not matter
