ToEE Crafting Dwarven War Axe Base Melee weapon

[MacRighteous]

So I'm farming up mushrooms to craft a Dwarven War Axe, and so far I have enough 'shrooms to upgrade to T2. Problem is I cant find a blank... all the dwarven war axe blanks I found or seen on the AH/SE have been caster blanks - I want the Melee weapon. I dont really care about elemental type - but I do have enough Fire 'shrooms for the complete upgrade... but not that far behind in the other types, so at this point I would take any Dwarven War Axe that is the melee weapon base - is there such a thing?

I don't recall if I have seen a non-caster version. I have lots of blanks on Sarlona. I usually keep the melee and toss the caster since there are an over abundance of caster version. I have a ship full of ToEE and Alchemical blanks and don't recall a d-ax in the chests. Doesn't mean one doesn't exist. But now I am curious.

Of course if I have one on that ship and you're on Sarlona I can send to you. Doubtful I have one though. I would know.

EDIT ~ Epic of heroic?

Im also on Sarlona, and Im also going to try and take a look.

I have to make it to the airship access portal in the harbor, up to my airship, and down to my storage vault, and see if I have one among the 40 toee weapons I also keep.

With the new and improved fixed lag, it should take me 3 or 4 hours, but if I do have one, I'll give it to you as well.

Thanks Livmo and J-2 - Sadly, I'm on Orien. The Wiki mentions a level 7 Energized (http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:%2B3_Energized_Dwarven_Waraxe) and Etched Dwarven Waraxe (http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:%2B3_Etched_Dwarven_Waraxe), and all four caster weapons - strange. what a shame - had I known melee d-axes were so rare I wouldn't have spent so much time farming... as it is now my Dwarf TYWA build is sitting at level 7 with levels 8 and 9 banked so I wouldn't out grow the weapon as soon as I crafted it... maybe i'll just move on and save my shrooms for another life. sucky-butt.

Edit: yeah good point to mention that Im looking for the Heroic version. Good looking out.

Yikes I looked at the links and I have not see either of those in-game.

BTW the heroic versions are way better than the epic version IMO. I use the L7 upgraded acid repeater until L12 ish when I can equip my alchemical base metal repeater. Nice that the ToEE is BtA as well when upgraded. I run arties allot and I would love to get my hands on an L7 acid vul d-ax.

I know the bastard sword melee versions are avail. I keep pulling the heroic electric one all the time : ) )

[J-2]

I had forgotten that a while ago, someone joined my guild, cleaned out its storage vaults, and then left.
I did not have as many blanks as I remember, only (1) heroic glaciation doused dwarven war axe.

Keep asking around on Orien. I met some good players when I was on there farming TP.

Happy slayings!

I run 7 times to get my second heroic dwarven war axe on Orien. I got both on end reward. I don't know if its bug but both weapon proc in same time frost +acid. I like them

Good Luck on yours. If you indicate the name of your characters maybe you could receive it by mail by generous player.

Thanks for the tip and confirming their existence. My Dwarf is "Dwarrendale" on Orien - but there is also a Dwarendale (with 1 "R") who was one of my Multi-box toons on another account (same server) I stopped Dual boxing about a year ago and haven't logged on to that account since then... I dont even know if I remember the credentials - it's prolly written down somewhere... anyway Dwarrendale with two R's is the guy who would reciprocate any generous gifts with equal kindness.

Thanks

If anyone on Orien has a level 7 ToEE Base Melee Weapon Dwarven War Axe (any element - though Fire is preferred) and throws it up on the AH or Shard Exchange - I'll buy it (if it's priced where I can afford it - been playing for 8 years and ran around 30 lives, so Plat isn't an issue. Shards on the other hand, has a limit of affordability.) Also willing to trade? Portable holes? Dragon Shards? Too many items to list.

Thanks

Ok - Somebody put up a Energized Dwarven War Axe on the AH for a very reasonable price - whether it was a result of this post or just chance, I dont know. But if this post did spur one of you to place the item on the AH - then Dwarrendale (and I) thank you from the bottom of our little gaming heart. I upgraded to T1, but Puffball Mushrooms are the ingredient that I have the least of - go figure - lol.

Any way looks like I need about 25 Puffballs for the final upgrade = anyone have any tips on how to farm these specifically and efficiently? My approach up to now has been just to farm the entire dungeon without really trying for anything specific (over the course of a few lives - when in that level range) and stick stuff in the bank until I had a pile large enough to do anything with.

Any tips would be appreciated

the fly agaric (fire), oyster (water), earth star (earth) and puffball (air) are all found in TOEE part 2 elemental specific nodes.

Make sure you are running it at or under level since you will not get many red names or random chests if you dont.

As you seek the puffball, you will find that in the air node of toee part 2.
I'd suggest entering toee2, going straight to the air node, and checking the entire node for red names and random chests, then leaving. then repeat tomorrow or on a different character to avoid ransack.

It takes a while.

To do the farming as quickly as possible, enter part 2, check the area for rares, but if you don't get the air node, recall, reset till you do. That way you don't have to do the other nodes to get to it. If you don't need the yellow shrooms, then skip the rares check, & just kill the two bosses that activate a node & see what you get.
