Stone of Change - Eldritch Rituals Cookbook

[Gratch]

Oops... wrong altar... updated my post above incase Cambo decides to add it to the front.

Another question: Does the cleaning ritual require only the stone and item or also a high-energy power cell?

[Ikuryo]

I seem to remember the Devs saying that we could cleanse stuff and it would not be bound as a result. It was somewhere in this thread but the thread is so long it would be hard to find..

If I'm remembering correctly then it is intentional.

stone, item, and high energy cell. all 3.

[Cambo]

Wonder if Cambo could include a slightly longer section on cleansing stones at the front. Specific answers to questions I had:

• a bound cleansing stone is guaranteed on each 20th (multiple) reward list (as the last item)
• the cleansing stone can be applied at the Devestation (part 5 of shroud) altar to any greenweave/steel equipment regardless of its current upgraded level.
• cleansing an unbound greensteel/weave item does not currently bind it... so it can be cleansed by one character and then mailed/transferred.

Let me know if I misread/misheard.

My cleric and fighter are about to hit their 20th shroud runs... wanted to make sure my cleric that is mostly good on +3 tomes can take the cleansing stone leaving the fighter to get the +3 tome on their reward screen (if present)... even though it's the fighter that needs a shroud item cleansed. That said, I'll probably complete first with the fighter as I'll take a cleansing stone if no +3 tomes are offered.

Edit: Updated with corrections.

Thanks for the update.
I have posted those notes but will format it better later when I get a bit of free time.

Make sure you update the part aboud binding, since it changed in today's patch.

Finally got my huge pile of vale ingredients together to clear up Inkblack's craftingspreadsheet.

The following are confirmed failures:

Red Taper, Filament, Any Horn, Any 'Wondrous' Item, Signet

Violet Taper, Ore, Any Horn, Any 'Wondrous' Item, Signet

Yellow Taper, Filament, Any Horn, Balm/Scarab, Signet

Green Taper, Filament, Any Horn, Scarab, Signet

Green taper, Ore, Any Horn, Balm/Scarab, Signet


We were told "30-40" new recipes in this mod, and we only have 29 so far. *pokes the devs in hopes of a hint* Anybody got any ideas where else we can look?

[Aeneas]

Lol, it's been about 12 years since i had any latin, but does your sig say

"i have a catapult. If you don't pay me money, i will send a stone at your head."

?

Yup. Or something close - I haven't had to deal with latin in about the same time frame, so I can't give you a good translation. Found it in a list of handy latin phrases.

Kinda makes you wonder if a dev forgot to flip a switch for the some of the new horn recipies or if old failed recipies now work.

I tried a few combos involving power cells, but I'm out of plat. As soon as my coffers are replenished, I'll start looking at some of the older failed stuff, since I now have all the tapers and suchlike built.

I'm low on vale ingredients again, so has/could anyone tried/try using a horn in place of a power cell in the basic recipes there? Also could be one of the ingredients but still use a power cell, like a replacement for, say, pebbles.

[Depravity]

Thinking about failed recipes, there are some failed combinations with shroud ingredients.

I never ran shroud much after getting my helmet to tier 2, so I don't have a good pile of shroud ingredients.

Could someone take some time to test out the failures listed on Ink's spreadsheet? They're on the page labeled "Upgrade Ingredients".

I'm assuming horns don't fit into the shroud devices, but that may be worth looking at too. That and I'm too lazy to comb the thread to see if anyone did check it.

[Angelus_dead]

It's pretty strange that there are still several tier 3 combo effects that don't have any description on the first page. Of course, there are explanations:
1. A few very good tier 3 combos were found, like Mineral II items for fighters or mana+skills for casters, and since it's hard to wear more than one Green Steel item at a time, nobody tries the others.
2. The missing combos are often based on negative as a base, and since negative is least useful on weapons (because you don't really fight Good enemies), it never really gets tried.
3. For a while there was a bug, a some combos (earth+neg) were missing.


Nonetheless, you'd think there'd be enough spare ingredients out there by now to get the list completed. Here are the blank entries:
Element of Radiance (Accesory).....=
Element of Dust (Weapon)...........=
Element of Dust (Accessory)........=
Element of Ooze (Weapon)...........=
Element of Ice (Accesory)..........=
Element of Vacuum (Weapon).........=

It seems Dust has been tried already, and just hasn't been updated on the front page. Dust weapons have a chance of Disintegrating the target, while Dust clothing is reported to surround the wearer with damaging and concealing shards. But the others remain a mystery, even if we can make a good guess by extrapolation. Since Radiance weapons are very good, we might hope Radiance clothing is too... but nobody knows!

Element of Dust (Accessory)........=

I got this on the wiki not too long ago, still waiting for a Screenshot though.

Razor Dust Guard (On-Being-Hit chance(about 10&#37 to cast "Razor Dust Shield"(Razor Sharp dust swirls around you, giving you a 50% concealment, and damaging any enemy that gets too close), untyped damage, hit's for about 40-50 every 1/4 seconds the enemy is too close.

As for Radiance accessory, I know it's been tried... but never heard of the effect itself.

Someone claimed he made one, although he still hasn't posted a shot: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php...98#post1769698

Also, I'm pretty sure someone made an Ooze II weapon, and it must be somewhere in this thread.

Razor Dust Guard, if thats true, looks to be a nice thing to have on a Barb or a high AC tank.

On-being-hit procs are not very useful on high AC tanks, unless you have a bad high AC tank

[Yaga_Nub]

But 50% permanent concealment is awesome for a melee.

[Tanka]

But 50% permanent concealment is awesome for a melee.

A good high AC tank will get hit 5% of the time, and then there's a 10% chance that it will activate.

So, roughly 0.5% of the time they'll have said Razor Dust Guard.

Low AC characters will want it, not high AC characters.

I was thinking about this - it would work really well with a moderate AC tank (aim for getting hit maybe 25-50% of the time), intimidate, and as heavily tweaked a DR as possible. I call it the "tar baby". #s are off the top of my head, feel free to correct

Name of the game is to intim, turtle up, throw a cleave or two, and let things beat themselves to death on you. Not going to get you kill counts, but would work well teamed with a more offensive fighter or high level pure or near-pure rogue who knows to peel off baddies one at a time.

14 barb/2 rogue dwarf (for evasion)

Blocking DR of:
8 from barb levels/enhancements
3 shield mastery
3 imp shield mastery
3 dwarf shield enhancements
7 large shield
24/- DR while blocking

Iirc - one of the new raid shields has 15 blocking DR - so possibly 32 blocking DR

After that it's just item consolidation and as many guard effects as you can cram on. Obviously requires many many many shroud runs.

S&B barb - expect people to look at you funny. Take cleave/great cleave, they work nicely with sword and board and a +6 con, +4 AC triple-earth weapon.

Good shroud accessories -
triple earth
triple neg - build for immunities = item consolidation again, chance to outright kill anything that hits you
mineral - item consolidation, use for hp, but make second tier good guard
Dust - untyped, but cuts your effectiveness down
Salt - untyped damage
Steam - untyped damage
Radiance just for gits and shiggles, not to mention making the party rogue happy.

leave a slot for situation appropriate, non cleansed pure elemental guard effects - don't want flame guard on when fighting iron golems, but it would work well on anything ice based or mummies, triple pos for undead, triple water for flame renders, etc. Know your enemies and avoid absorption at all costs.

I wouldn't do it, because I feel little reason to grind the shroud every 2 & 3/4 days. Obviously a build idea for the more demented raid monkeys out there.

[Ikuryo]

If you wanted a proper shield to block with throw a madstone shield in there. I think its a shield DR of 21, would give you a DR38/- while turtled.
