Stone of Change - Eldritch Rituals Cookbook

Here's my Triple-Negative Short Sword. Since I plan to wear the Stormreaver Napkin (until another universal focus comes out), I went with +6 STR rather than INT.

A Pos-Fire-(Fire+Pos) may be more useful for INT, but would cost 12 more Large ingredients.

I went with Pos Neg Neg which gave +6 con, existential stalement so +6 wis (the +10 haggle is kind of nice as well), and the +1 exceptional int and +2 exceptional int.

This combo frees up a slot for +6 con item (for like you I will use the napkin for the +6 int) and adds +3 to my will saves. In the belt slot I then went with the belt of the seven ideals with improved potency VII (which is ok, I usually use a superior potency VI item) and spell penetration VII on it as well. Lots of ways to go here! Have fun crafting all.

Does the negative level hit from using the item hurt your casting ?

I think that you only get the negative level if you are good and you put one of the Unholy/Evil (damage) affects on it. However, I've been wrong before.

[Mavnimo]

choose this combo for my wizard. went with +6 str(water), +1 exceptional int(fire), and just to save on a large scale went +2 exceptional int(negative).


saves me a concentration and str item slot, which were goggles and bracers.

ps. I use reaver napkin for int

Yep. My toons are always true neutral if I can. They do not take neg levels from evil weapons if their UMD is sufficient for the difficulty.

Hi I would like to seek advice from experts in crafting again :P have a guilde and he make this bow mixing the material, domination, positive 2 times and he wants to know that if you spend mixture in the last upgrade material, domination, positive and Material domination, hearth and whether to make double mixture loses grater disruption thx again

When you bypass an alignment prereq, you never get a negative level, no matter your alignment. As for Unholy weapon, it's not UMDable, anyone can wield one... but the Good-aligned characters get a negative level.

Since you went straight positive at level 1 and 2, you cannot use a double shard at tier 3. The only thing you can add at tier 3 to get a bonus effect would be another positive/X/X shard (any gem, any essence) and that will give you the greater disruption bonus effect.

Ok, Lets forget about the greater disruptor and If I already made the first 2 positive upgrades can I make a 3 upgrade with 24 large shards? Hopping that the weapon makes the greater damage. Thanx

If you've done positive for the first two upgrades, there is not a 24 ingredient shard you can use at tier 3 for a bonus. The only way to receive a bonus effect at tier 3 is to do a 12 ingredient positive shard of some type (Good Blast, perhaps)

[cm2_supernova]

I dont know if this has been asked before, but has anyone tried doing something like this.

Go any positive effect for tiers 1 & 2, then try and dual shard a double positive effect for tier three...something like this:

Material+Dominion+Positive

and

Etherial+Oppostion+Positive

Maybe it would generate some sort of uber-positive effect, or allow you to place both tier 3 upgrades on a weapon\item?

Ok thx very much

[vyvy3369]

I don't think I've heard of anyone who has successfully combined two of one type of shard, but we have heard of failures when mixing different gem & essence combinations, so it seems like that would fail. If you really want to try, just let us know how it turns out.

Does the negative level hit from using the item hurt your casting ?

There is no negative level hit. My character is lawful-good. You only get a negative if an item has an alignment that does not match yours (chaotic, lawful, pure good, anarchic, axiomatic, good burst, holy(?), anarchic burst, etc.). Since the short sword has no alignment effect, anybody could use it. A negative focus shard does not in itself bestow alignment to the weapon.

I prefer the item you made to the one I did. I wanted to try out slay living (tier 3 bonus), but it really doesn't happen very often. I would have been better off going water-fire-fire and foregoing a third tier bonus while getting a better 2nd tier bonus, or going fire-fire-fire with 10 % fire absorbtion or +6 dex for 1st tier (with inceneration bonus 3rd tier).

+5 Supreme Tyrant Green Steel Dagger of Elemental Resilience?

What about that item is resilient? Why would it have that name?

Note the 27 Hardness & 210 durability on a dagger from having Tempered.

Still confused about alignement.
Does the tier 2 effect "evil burst" restrict the weapon's usage?
(i know Unholy does)
If so, what is the needed UMD?

Thats good to know, I saw the Negative Energy Affinity and thought that made it Unholy.

There is NO umd on green steel items. You will have the neg level while using it just like if you are lawful using a chaotic weapon.
