A quick question

[Disavowed]

I'd like to make a pair of goggles with +5 protection and +5 resistance. Is this possible, and if so can someone point me in the right direction to craft such an item.

Nope, not possible dude.

Check this Crafting Planner out:

You'll have to play with it for awhile and see what's possible.

Also, check this thread out:

TONS of great info there.

I'll have to get used to the format on those links but it doesn't seem like it will taek too long. Off the top of your head while I try to figure the charts out is it possible to make a +5 of one or the other?

The closest you will get to that is the Air/Earth Tier 2 bonus effect Balance of Land and Sky (+3 Deflection, +3 Resistance, +11 Balance). You could also mix in the Exception Saves to make it have a closer effect as far as the saves bonuses go.

Goood idea thanks for the advice.

You can't have a full +5 resistance, but for instance you can have:
+5 resist (will)
+3 exceptional (fort)
using this setup (http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~delallea/ddo/shroud/cgi-bin/shroud.cgi?item=goggles&weapon=weapon&effects=mineral2_it_,exc_res_2_fort,exc_res_1_fort&groups=plus_5_res&altar=3).
Unfortunately you will notice that as soon as you get +5 protection, you can't get any reflex bonus.

PS: MrCow's suggestion would be something like this (http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~delallea/ddo/shroud/cgi-bin/shroud.cgi?item=goggles&weapon=weapon&effects=bolas_1_,plus_5_reflex,exc_res_2_reflex&groups=plus_1_exc&altar=3)

You can always go ahead and make yourself a helm or something that is as follows:

1st tier: Earth/Escalation/Material (+10HP, +1 con skill (exceptional bonus)
2nd tier: Positive/Escalation/Material (+15HP, +2 con skill (exceptional bonus)
2nd tier bonus effect: Aspect of Mineral (Stoneskin 2/day)

Dominant Shard 1 3rd tier: Earth/Escalation/Material (+20HP, +3 con skill (exceptional bonus)
Shard 2 3rd Tier: Positive/Escalation/Material
3rd Tier Bonus Effect: Aspect of Mineral II (+5 Protection, Heavy Fortification)

This would probably replace the Minos Legens helm and ya get a bit more out of it.

Any how good luck and if you need a bit of help, this site did wonders for me.
