1. Questions about weapon enhancement:

1.A. How do factors such as the level or grade of mats used specifically affect the enhancement?
No effect. Edit: nevermind see below, I thought you were refering to smelting.
1.B. What benefit does a higher grade weapon have?
Higher durability and damage, although it isn't the only factor determining damage on identical weapons. Durability = 800 + 4*Grade excluding great / bad repairs.
1.C. Do added bonuses appear on random while smelting? Does the mat use for smelting matter?
Added bonuses through smelting are fixed. The 4 slots you see on the weapon don't get changed through smelting. Doesn't matter.

2. Question about Twin Blade Skills:

2.A. Which TB Skills are preferable for grinding?
Need to ask someone who uses TS.
2.B. What rank of skills is preferable?
High as possible.
2.B. If TB skills are not suited for grinding, would switching to a bow when grinding be better?
See 2.A
3. Question about stats:

3.A. Recommendations for stat allocation for TB users (70 DEX + ?? ???)
Pretty much pure Dex until a certain point.

Thanks.

1. Questions about weapon enhancement:

1.A. How do factors such as the level or grade of mats used specifically affect the enhancement?
The general trend is that higher level (I haven't tried with grade) means more experience for the weapon during enhancement.
1.B. What benefit does a higher grade weapon have?
Higher base attack and durability
1.C. Do added bonuses appear on random while smelting? Does the mat use for smelting matter?
For smelting you must use a weapon that is of the same name as the one you are trying to smelt as the material. Alternatively, you can use an Artisan's Treasure Sword. The bonuses are always set. Check the wiki as we recently put the bonuses up.

2. Question about Twin Blade Skills:

2.A. Which TB Skills are preferable for grinding?
2.B. What rank of skills is preferable?
Higher is better.
2.B. If TB skills are not suited for grinding, would switching to a bow when grinding be better?

3. Question about stats:

3.A. Recommendations for stat allocation for TB users (70 DEX + ?? ???)
Focus on adding Dex until you're nearing the affinity cap (3k until level 100, where it is then 3.5k until level 105 and 4k at 110). Afterwards, you have some choices; You could spec into wisdom as every 24 wisdom grants one more critical rate, mind for a larger mana pool and sp regen as well as the option of using support skills, or vit if you feel like you need to be tankier. I don't recommend power unless you really really want to as it does not bring many benefits to Dex type players.

Thanks.

Answered what I can to the best of my knowledge.

Edit: Siennan beat me to it but maybe I can provide another view.

Is the drop list from the JP servers different?

Since there's barely a wiki out there, I've been using it as a supplement to the rather vague quest descriptions. But according to the wiki I can farm Stag Beetle Magatama's along with a bunch of other Magatama's in Sakurajimi Depths Hell, but been at it for quite some both solo and in 5man parties and haven't seen any of these drop. Am I just unlucky or were they removed for some reason? Because if so there seems to be a lot of Magatama's that are dungeon only.

I know you can find Glass Marbles rather uncommonly in some dungeons or fields, some Maga Tama's such as Lord Shinkou in training grounds.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try to find someone who knows about TB more but the answers both of you gave are plenty helpful already.

Pretty sure the drop list is about the same, just that the drop rate of Magatama is insanely low. It's possible that our monsters have different levels than in JP, in which case the 8 level below rule changes the dungeons from which Magatama drops.

Hmm, didn't glance over that part. In that link it's suggested that it's required for a 5man party for the enemy level to reach 28~32 on hell (others are blanked out). While in NA the enemy modifier is set to 28 defaultly without a party, while I'm unsure why that is or what that means for the item drop modifier if there is some form of mechanic (which I want to doubt).

Guess I'll keep at it for a while longer.

I still can't think of TS as viable without Ougi =|

I was wondering where the most efficient place for me to level was.
I'm currently level 42 and I've made it to Kaga. The previous dungeon I was grinding was in Kyoto on Hell difficulty, which had respawning mobs in it. The dungeon before that was in Izumo, again with the respawning flies ( not in-game at the moment so apologies for not being able to pull up dungeon names ). I've sort of hit a brick wall now as Seki didn't really feel like it had attractive dungeons to grind in and the ones I've been used to running in Kyoto aren't giving me enough EXP anymore, or so it seems. Surely there must be a pretty efficient dungeon to run in Kaga, as I'm seeing a good amount of level 50's and 60's now running around. Some insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
