Tips for Osmium Battlesuit FA (and catalysts)

[Controversy]

I have started a new character, a Force Archer, and I am now level 59 (A. master/Regular). I expect to be using osmium in not too long, and I have read alotta threads here, advicing to use Magic Amp, HP and Crit dmg inc./Crit rate inc.

But I am not very experienced with upgrading items at Alchemist, and I don't wanna search tradechannels forever either. So I was wondering if anyone could set up what catalysts to use, and for what garments?

Thanks in advance :)

Helm : Crit DMG ( catalyst : daikatana,greatsword ), Crit RATE ( random upgrade ) or Magic AMP ( random upgrade or bought - around 100m )

Gloves : does not really matter but you can get attack ( catalyst : katana,blade ) to sell faster once you get better ones or Magic AMP.

Suit : 2x HP ( catalyst : helm ) or 2-slot with Magic AMP ( pretty common in trade channel, around 20m in Mars )

Boots : 2x HP ( catalyst : helm ) or Magic AMP ( again, random or bought ).

Crystals/Orbs : Crit DMG ( catalyst : greatsword, daikatana ) or -very rare- Crit RATE or Magic AMP.

Btw, random upgrade means using 2 force cores. It has 25% chance for a lvl 2 upgrade ( then it randomly selects one of the lvl 2 upgrades ).

I didn't risk going for lvl 2 ups myself... If you can afford to keep buying double slotted and 2 fch's then sure you can try till u get the upgrade you want, but that can take a long time :D

I just went for HP in suit and boots, crit dmg in helm. I tried going for lvl 2 in gloves once but ended up with def anyway ;)

Crystals I went both for magic (orb or crystal catalyst). Why are so many people go for crit dmg in those? I don't hit that many criticals anyway. Crit rate would be rather good but that's another lvl 2 random one...

You get alot of dbl slotted osmium stuff from ToD b1f-force cores are a problem though-didnt get even 1 in a loooooong time.
