View Full Version : Looking for a named THF weapon

Is there any weapon in the game that is:
- THF (not a quarterstaff)
- BTA
- Has a red slot
- Has either a purple/orange slot, or is metalline or cold iron
- Is ML18 or under (the higher the better, but not higher than ML18)
I'm looking to make a generic eladrin beater I can pass among my alts via the shared bank, specifically for running with the devils. Basically any decent THF with two slots for cold iron and evil bypass will do.
EDIT: To clarify, I'm looking to replace the crafted eladrin beaters I already have in an effort to reclaim bank space on my various alts.

I have nothing.
Special mention goes to Theurgic Stave which is BtA and has 2 slots.

MinII greensteel is actually a near perfect eladrin beater. It's metalline, it does evil damage (like all greensteel), and none of the eladrin are resistant to acid.

If this game followed the D&D rule about equipping a Dwarven Waraxe in two hands, then you could use Elite Mountain's Fist. Oh well! (Not BTA either)

My first thought was the Nightblade (http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Nightblade), but it's BtC.
Alchemical weapons can be made Cold Iron at ML12, first upgrade brings it to ML16, second upgrade brings it to ML18. No augments though.
Everything else that I found which meets your requirements of a named 2-hander with a red augment slot, either another augment slot or is cold iron, and under ML18, are all BtC, not BtA.
Garzuul's Bane (http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Garzuul%27s_Bane)
Mealstrom (http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Maelstrom)
Elemental Greataxe of Fire (http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Elemental_Greataxe_of_Fire_%28Level_16%29) <- This one is BtA at first, until the final upgrade, but it also does not have an augment.
The Mad Lute (http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:The_Mad_Lute)
... sorry.
I think your best bet now might actually be Cannith Crafting. Get a cold iron random-gen with a red augment, turn it into a blank (cold iron property and the augment should stay, if I'm not mistaken), then enchant it with other effects as permitted by Cannith Crafting, until you get it to where you want but still under ML18.
Good luck! :)

MinII greensteel is actually a near perfect eladrin beater. It's metalline, it does evil damage (like all greensteel), and none of the eladrin are resistant to acid.My motivation is to reduce bank clutter on individual alts by consolidating the eladrin beater into a single BTA weapon I can store on my mule.
If I'm stuck with BTC options, the clear best option is:
+4 unholy of greater chaotic outsider bane (cold iron)
Putting cold iron in a red slot instead of using a material type adds +2, bringing the total to +11 for the 2[W] epic effect. With masterful it's ML18. You could slot evil bypass in the red instead of cold iron and use acid burst as the prefix, but I think unholy does more damage than acid burst.
By contrast, a +5 unholy cold iron of greater bane is only +10, so only does 1.5[W].

For example, BTA lootgen boots with a colorless would be a spectacular item for slotting a single master's gift augment to pass around to your alts. Toss on feather falling and masterful and you have a sweet pair of ML1 TR twink boots that all your alts can use.
But sadly that appears not to exist.

+Stunning, as high as you can get it, stun ghaele-s and win.
On my previous pally life i was tremendously effective with high stunning blow DC, not even gear, just STR boosts. Using an Alchemical T2/Earth/Earth GSword. Id actually suggest a t1-t3 lvl16 ratkiller if you have it from the cove event. Easiest elite run thru ever, i even carried a few people.
That or Cannith Crafting.

For boots with a slot run the quests that provide bta (chain)endreward lists, WW, stk, fens, chrono, sharn, .... there might be more, you will have to get lucky tho. I got myself a bta byersk shotsword need to check if I was so lucky to pull with a slot, but i do beleive there should be a chance. The problem here is the same with non-bound lootgen as you need both the metal property and the slot, your best bet for a weapon are WW, fens and chrono since i am sure they have a chance top drop weapons.
Got plenty accesories from sharn with one or even two slots, however slotting the masters gift binds them to character, unfortunately.
GL!

Nowadays you dont need dedicated beaters in there, even on elite. Maybe try to get an aligned weapon with slot in AH, since you dont get neg levels from aligned if youre good alignment. Would be unbound but probably not break anytime soon.
Ive only played one char for a while and no real problems with bank space.
I like this like gem

Im not sure those chains had their loot upgraded (with augments), and hopefully it remains in a way that they can still provide bta items, as well as spell clicky items.

Ive only played one char for a while and no real problems with bank space.I ransacked Bookbinder's Rescue several times. It drops multiple BTA lootgen boots in the end reward list each run. Never an augment slot to be found.

I just went through the list of ML 18 or under account-bound weapons over at http://itemwiki.cubicleninja.com/, and I didn't see anything that fits all the requirements. There are some account-bound DR breakers that were close, though.
Theurgic Stave (http://ddowiki.com/page/Theurgic_Stave) is the best bet if you're willing to use a quarterstaff: 1.5 [2d4]+4 damage with purple and red slots.
If you're willing to use a one-hander, there's Turbulent Epee (http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Turbulent_Epee) (metalline and aligned), Blood Machete (http://ddowiki.com/page/Blood_Machete) (purple and red slots), Obsidian Dagger (http://ddowiki.com/page/Obsidian_Dagger) (purple and red), and Boneshard Flute (http://ddowiki.com/page/Boneshard_Flute) (orange and red). Of the one-handers, blood machete probably has the best damage - 1.5 [1d6]+4, with slicing for another 1d4 bleed.
That's probably the closest you're going to get, unless I've overlooked something (and I'd be happy to be corrected, since needing a clutterful of eladrin DR breakers for this one quest bugs me too).

Your best bet is lots and lots of manyshot. :p
Seriously though, I don't know of any particular weapons like what you're looking for.
Mainly because I can't think of any good THF weapons with 2 slots that are BTA. =/

Yup. Here's a link:
http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Elemental_Greataxe_of_Fire_%28Level_16%29
There's no red slot, but if you upgrade to Tier 3, you can probably figure out a shard to craft to at least get close to the evil bypass you were looking for. It's got just about everything else you were looking for.
ETA: There's also Serrulae, but it's BTC so you'd need to farm the pages for the Tome for each character you'd want to give it to. :/

I just use the terror, it doesn't bypass their DR, but it's still surprisingly effective.
