Anniversary Stuffz

[Matuse]

For the anniversary event, new items:

Red Crystal Crown: 80 party favors.
Ruddy Dretchling Certificate: 100 party favors.
The 13 previous House cloaks: All 80 party favors.

No new functional items. No Illuminating Forum Post...why?

Log out and back in to get the 15th anniversary cosmetic cloak. It has a red crystal theme. I like it.

Edit: The anniversary cloak is 1/character, so you can end up with a ton of them. I tried turning them into glamourdust...won't work.

Assuming I don't need a quiver (have two already), and levels 20-28 get skipped (multibox pulling) - any recommendations on items?

Was thinking about picking up the SoS on my second main.

Well, if you have mule accounts that you don't really play...take the commendations of heroism. You can hand over relics and use the HComms to buy augments from the gianthold vendors and the augments are tradeable back. Skip needing to do two raids that almost nobody ever runs anymore.

As someone who still plays a lot of alts, it's very disappointing this is one item per account.

Or go for the ones that pair with the new(ish) augment crafting system. Epic Litany of the Dead, Ultimatum, Dethek Runestone, & Dark Diversion. https://ddowiki.com/page/Augment_Slot#Soulforged_Augments

Ok, I am conflicted. I have the quiver, so don't need that. I am between the SoS and the Epic Litany of the dead (to be able to create a +2 Profane ability augment...for future use). I know the SoS is extremely rare, so I am leaning towards that....help!!

Do you use any of those items at cap? 20-28 is getting skipped, so my first impression is that I wouldn't use any of the items in the list from 29+.

+2 profane to stats off litany one is nice if you don't have it off another piece of gear already.

Well, litany can get bought with runes which is way easier than a 20 run (and fingers crossed it's on the list) for SoS.

SoS is never a bad call, of course...though its not eSoS :)

Unwavering Ardency might be good if you want to plan ahead for Horizon Walker later this year...its an 18-20/x3 base bow at ML14, and its 2[1d12]. Bow of Sinew is 18/x3 19-20/x4 at ML14, though. But if you dont want to grind Harbinger for it..?

Storm is worth mentioning if you want to run a lot of Inqui EPLs, its hands-down the best xbow from 20-29, but you'll still need to run the raid to upgrade it to Epic

Litany is at least a swap item for a burst of cheap casting?

Everything else pretty much falls into the category of "nice to use while leveling, if you have a build that uses that weapon type", or "pretty much obsolete by now because there are other options for [whatever is special on that item]"
