P/C full set of Tome of legends

[Jay203]

need a deathnip for defender =(
any clue as to where the ballpark lies? =(

[Invalid_82]

Not sure the price on a full set, but collecting a full set is very tough!

precisely the reason why i don't wanna hunt for it and hope to acquire a set thru trades?

[Sweyn]

Just curious (Noob question) Where do the tome pages drop?

[Aerilyn]

I traded a full set of Tome Pages a while back and got the following;

(1) Bloodstone
(1) Royal Guard Mask
(1) Scourge Choker
(7) Large Devil Scales, might have been 5

[mediocresurgeon]

The tome pages drop in Litany of the Dead. The difficulty in farming for them is (a) getting flagged for Litany of the Dead on (b) several characters, so that you can farm effectively as a party and charge tome page drops for your expertise as a tourguide as you flag others.

There are two ways to look for a price: the effort required to get the pages (I ran Litany of the Dead 2-3 times a night for 5 weeks in order to get my tome page set complete) and the payoff (how good is a Skivver? Deathnips?). The problem with tome pages is that they require an immense amount of effort (imagine if I had spent the same amount of time farming the Shroud!) for only so-so payoff (Skivver has become obsolete due to VoD bracers + blue dragonscale robe, Mineral II > deathnips unless you're a TWF barb fighting something with no DR).

If I were to have sold my Tome page set instead of trading it in, I would not have taken less than 5 large scales.

=(
there goes my hopes for 15~20/x6 crit with deathnip =(
ah well, we'll see what happens after mod 9, hoepfully abbot will be do-able enough to lower the prices >_<

Thanks, i do have one toon flagged for LOTD.. but never ran it before. Might start running it though

If the abbot becomes beatable, then the value of the tome pieces will certainly drop some as more people flag for abbot and pull the tome pieces.

There could also be items coming in mod9 that rival the deathnip. I doubt this though.

I am pretty sure you would have to chosse bewteen

15~20/x4 crit (crit rage)

and

17~20/x6 (Frenzied)

Maybe that will lessen the blow that they are a pain in the asre to attain.

huh?
i'm going 15~20/x6 (exalted smite IV) =)

besides, frenzy barb only get the x6 on an 19 or 20

[Anyria]

But for what it's worth-

Deathnip has crit range 19-20 on its own so you would get 17-20 with imp feat.

As far as exalted smite - no clue

I will now go back to my server and stop trolling as I should be working anyway!

[Invalid_82]

Yes, it is a very tough call on what to do with a twf barb dual wielding deathnips. I also have a pally that uses a deathnip for exalted smiting.

For barb it is either:
15-20 x4 as a crit rage II
17-18 x4 and 19-20 x6 as a Frenzied Berserker

As for your pally and using it to exalted smite, you will really like it. On the way to the Hound raid a couple days ago my lvl 16 dps twf pally Deamos did a crit exalted smite on one of the red names along the way for 613 yellow damage with the deathnip. It will only go up from there in the new mod!

For Pally it will be:
16-20 x6 ES III
15-20 x6 ES IV

Still a tome page away from completing my second deathnip for the pally.

[Mithran]

I guess this means I'll have to get them for my new build, then.

14 Paladin/2 Rogue GTWF Strength-based/IC: Pierce

[Invalid_82]

Why 2 levels of rogue if I may ask? UMD and Evasion or possibly a defensive Pally with Intim?

You will miss out on the pally capstone which is great for an offensive minded pally, well any pally really.

Edit: Just reread your post a str based gtwfer not sure what the rogue levels are intended for.
