if you wondering why so many ppl nowadays lvling noobs, here is another reason.
Please look at
Level 15 skills, the quest Hopeless James 1 (Tutorial Quest) will give you an Ex Elrue to enhance your gear. This is a quest item, so it is perfect with 100% success rate to any gear,
even T5.
One important point that breaking T5 gears is most easy way to make karis stones.
So, dont break your +9 now, it is a waste, just buy some crappy t5 gears in maket to enhance it to make some karis for you.
