Epic Von Item Preview Please!

[Stamp3de]

This weapon I don't know the origin, but I'm in love with it. So I actually will use an image instead of Code

I'm pretty sure that's the greataxe that u have to pick up in Von 1.

Can we have a teaser preview of one of the new upgraded items from the Vault of Night?

if you want a preview go download the lamannia client and run til you get whatever you want to look at.. its called a preview server for a reason

Yeah we covered that already, read I think it is 2 posts after that. I just didn't go back and edit the original where I had forgot the name of it. Have only ran VON1 like 2-3 times lol. But thanks.

Not sure why certain items are incuded in the compendium as epic versions and certain items are not- the mroran stuff should be pretty cool too

[Daehawk]

You know was thinking...since we found all those in the compendium. I think we deserve a reward. Say...

Epic Red Dragonscale Robe stats?

[Schwarzie]

After looking at the SoS stats i can only say: They have learned from the Desert Epics. THIS actually is a real Epic Weapon (even if i would think such a weapon belongsa in the hands of a substancial higher level Char :P )

Ouch, I have been running the quests on lamania, but the population is sparse and I tend to get bored soloing. Usually I am the only level 20 character on the server, unfortunately.

Loot excites me...

A reward is definitely in order.

A 3x day mass heal clicky on this maul seems interesting, but I think a true res would have been more appreciated. I hope it doesn't use the current casting time of mass heal.

a true res would have been stupid cause its not an upgrade to restoration

[QuantumFX]

+6, SR25, Blue, Violet

And 2d6 Base damage and a x3 Crit Multiplier! Why don’t you people keep track of the important changes!

(Seriously though: Isn’t Light and Darkness better than this shield?)

I'm pretty sure that's the greataxe that u have to pick up in Von 1.

Indeed. I think if the devs actually let us have that then there would be a bunch of players crapping their pants and naming the result “Bono”.

Shield bash is win!

I think so too

[Eladrin]

It's a poorly-designed epic item, because it lacks an upgrade to the abilities of the non-epic version, and in fact actually loses the old version entirely.

Objects in Compendium may be different than they appear.

It should have a +6 Resistance bonus to saving throws, based on the +3 bonus of the original.

I would expect that.

The Compendium doesn't seem to handle newly created item mutations very well all the time. Strange.

[KKDragonLord]

I dont understand some things there either.

The Chained Soldier says it uses Strength +4 for attack and Damage
Does that stack with the +6 enhancement?

does it mean its attack is (STR modifier+4) that with a +6 enhancement becomes equivalent to a +10 weapon?

Is the damage (STR modifier +4) multiplied by 1.5, for it being two handed?

or are those things a mess made by the compendium?

Thanks for giving us a heads up.

So you're saying the info regarding these new items in the compendium is/can be bunk? /sigh That is unhelpful to say the least.

Just think of how angry everyone is going to be when they THINK their SOS is supposed to be +10 and it is +6.

So does anyone have a screen shot from Lam on these? Since we can not assume the game feeds from the compendium are accurate. /cry

No one (announced that they) beat Von 6 on lammania.

No. You misunderstood his post.

He is saying the compedium simply copies data over from live and puts it together in a similar format. However it cannot always handle brand new effects that aren't yet in the game, and as such leaves those out, making the description for some items inaccurate, such as the Kundarak Warding shield, which will have Resistance +6 (an effect that otherwise does not exist in the game currently, so when the compendium seems, it leaves it out)

You can see the same issue on other items, especially ones with new click effects. See:
http://compendium.ddo.com/wiki/Weapon:Epic_Tinder
This item actually has in addition to the listed effects Greater Inferno IX clicky. As that is a relatively new effect which doesn't exist in the compedium, it doesn't show up.

What this means for the sword of shadow:
It's just a hint that like the shield, it's more powerful then it appears there as it has another effect that currently doesn't exist in the game. All the effects listed are 100% accurate, it just may have then what it appears to.

[Shade]

The Chained Soldier says it uses Strength +4 for attack and Damage

Those figures are not of any value to us. Just put there to match the ingame format.

What they are is your BASE stats, not including much of anything like items/feats.. And the bonus they give when usign the item.

In this case it means the Axe uses Strength as it's attack and damage modifier (same as any axe) and the person currently wielding it has a score of 18 (+4) in that category. These figures are extremely bugged and do not understand the penalties for TWF or the bonuses for THF, and just list the base amount as if it was a 1handed weapon wielded alone (despite the fact you can't wield it as such)

All this means that the test character the compedium uses for import is gimped.
