Hi, what's an optimal Enigma base for being having a great price on selling as well?
And what minimal def recommended on the base?

Archon Plate: Highest possible defense (up to 524 base, over 1,300 with superior) while still being lightweight.
Dusk Shroud: Intermediate option with low strength requirements (77) and good defense.
Mage Plate: Lowest strength requirement (55) while still providing decent defense, allowing for more pts in vit.

About def and easy selling, 15ed in whichever of the stated above and you are good to go.
Ed armours always get the same defense, highest base roll + the Ed.

This.

Engines in other bases are usually for aesthetic reasons, like wire fleece looks pretty dope on a Zon but has high str requirement.

if you want resell it later put it in a mage plate with 250 + defense, I'm no fan of superior base it cost too much to repair.

Wyrmhide is pretty underestimated since it has good def medium str req and lower rep cost than dusk
