Do we know for sure that only 3rd level shards can be combined? Has anybody tried combining two level 1 or level 2 shards?

Yes on both counts.

I dun think this will work, cos its all Positive, so at tier 3, u only get 1 of the effects, not 2.

It'd be worth trying, though, if someone has enough ingredients.

You never know if Pos - Pos - Pos/Pos will produce a more powerful effect than Pos - Pos - Pos.

(And it seems like that the worst thing that could happen is you'd lose an energy cell and still have your two positive shards, which could then be reused for other items.)

Well we tried a proper third upgrade:

Ethereal Escalation Air Imbued Supreme Shard + Ethereal Escalation Earth Imbued supreme shard = Ethereal Escalation Earth Imbude supreme shard with Balance of Land and sky.

This Final Combined Shard was added to some Balance of land/sky I goggles. NO SPECIAL EFFECT WAS SEEN - 24 Large ingredients etc wasted.

One important note : The Air shard was placed in first, the earth second , and the resultant land/sky shard had the earth focus.



Warning to all Land/Sky II maybe bugged, Eladrin can you please investigate this

[Auran82]

Did you happen to check your saves/ac wearing those goggles with no ac/save item on? Also, did the text for balance of land and sky change? (where it says +3 saves, +3 AC)

Hey Raidon,

What was your first altar upgrade and second altar upgrades?

[MysticTheurge]

Interesting. And you got the earth-version of the third tier effect?

And what were the 1st and 2nd tier elements?

Woo...it's inching towards me being right ever so slowly!!! (sorry, just carefree ribbing)

Hush up you!

1st upgrade material escalation earth
2nd upgrade ethereal escalation air
3rd upgrade ( ethereal escalation air )+ (ethereal escalation earth) = ethereal escalation earth / Land/Sky



So either it is bugged or the supreme upgrade earth shard should have been material escalation earth
The combined shard did have land/sky on it , so it seems strange it didn't upgrade fully.

saves , reistance , protection, skills all checked with no " hidden bonus' "

[Ikuryo]

I was going to suggest that we test the + + tier 3 combine using different types(+ED, +MD for example) but then realized that we would not have any idea if it failed, why it had failed. Either + + not working or different gem/essence not working.

So this post is basically a waste of time..

Maybe the missing material, but if that were the case one would assume that the supreme power shards would not have combined to a single Land/Sky. I'd say this is buggered.

Well, I'd argue you only wasted 12 as you got the standard tier 3 property anyway, but I agree it sucks.

Perhaps the tier 3 shards have to be the same as the respective tier 1/2 shards? And I've been arguing for a "Dominant" focus since Will posted his info, but noooooo that couldn't be right, now could it?

Thankyou For your speedy response Eladrin. Oh well taking one for the research . Good to know.

*blink* Really, but existential stale mate does have an upgrade path, so maybe tempered should be used to compliment the balance of land and sky? Or positive and negative?

I think it has more to do with the non-focus components of his shards.

Guess that one is more complex, Because logically.. You can't add more balance to whats already balanced.. But you could add another 2 elements to the balance.

So try water + fire.

Balance of Land, Sky, Sea and Lava

crud... It would appear that your doing material on the stage one killed you getting the upgrade.

The previous concordant use EE the entier way. You went ME, then EE and EE. What do you bet you have to stay the same focuse the entier way? *sigh* well.. that is rather disappointing. So much for what I've been working on to get what I wanted. At least it won't be a complete waste.
