Thank you for the complement :D.

For your first question: My strategy is as follows for leveling armors

1) Accumulate mats for fodder armors: Three 1* armors are cheap enough to be viable as fusion fodder with sufficient income. These three are Snakeskin (3k), Atlantian (6K), and Crius (9k). Snakeskin is easy to farm, and running dark prince plus tends to accumulate shiny shards. Atlantian is often inconvenient so I avoid it. With this the elements of Earth, Water, and Air are covered.

2) While your legendary is crafting, accumulate these fodder armors. Once you have all but 4-8 armor slots full, you can either A) Continue crafting, but fuse these new armors into another armor you desire to level [like a side project] or B) Stop crafting.

3) The reason you keep these 4-8 slots open is to accumulate the basic armors once the legendary has finished. If you have 4 forges (3 is messier but still works) then the instant you legendary is done craft 4 matching basic armors. Once these finish, que up for more (crafting armor takes up an armor slot, hence why 8 available is optimal for time managment) and fuse what you just made into your legendary. This method can allow you to get to lvl 12 or 15 in like 30 minutes or so. Continue it for 2 hours and reaching 20 to 22 is possible. The downside is this can become slightly more costly around lvl 15-20 and you have to micro-manage the game, not good if you have to be away. My rough estimation of the cost is around 150k.

4) This is why I use basics rather then uncommons. Basic =  6 EP with 5 min craft time. Uncommon = 10 EP with 30 min craft time. Its ok to use the ones you get from the epic boss, but crafting them borders on a waste of time, as both basic and 1* are more efficient in different ways. Uncommon is kinda stuck in the useless middle here unless you have to be gone for exactly half an hour.

5) Once level 20 is reached, switch to the fodder armors. Depending on your capacity, you should reach lvl 28-30 right away. If time is of the essence when reaching the level to unlock plus (like with horseman for halloween event), quickly use some fusion stones to level it the rest of the way to 35. If not, keep crafting 1* and enhancing your armor. If your goal is the plus version, stop at 35, if not, keep doing this until you reach level 45 or so.

6) Here the strategy changes a bit. If the armor has Earth/Wind/Water, continue this strategy until like lvl 55 or even 60 if time is not an issue. This is because the elements of the fodder and legendary match, resulting in getting the full 96 UP for a full enhancement cycle. If the armor does not have these elements, you only get 80 EP. In this case, fusing non-story 1* (volcanic for example) becomes slightly better (but costly).

7) Upon reaching level 60, Both strategies should now only be using fused armors. Continue to 70 as gold allows. If you have matching fusion boost, use 4 part way into the 63 level (about halfway through to 64) This will shoot you right to level 70.
