New Named items?

[Krag]

First epic rapier. Sweet!

The Deneith Heavy Chain isn't standard chainmail. Examine the stat line carefully.

The base upgrades should be very quick. Sigils have a decent chance to drop even on normal, and better chances on hard/elite/epic, and are guaranteed drops on the quest chain end reward list.

Eladrin, two responses and nothing about handwraps? please let us know if there are at least one set, so I can either rest easy or withdraw into the small cardboard box that I call home! :'(

In addition althotas could you perchance post a ss of the repaired armor? would be much appreciated.

Good to know.

It would be a good idea to apply the same logic to other named items under the level cap, like raid loot from old raids or collectibles that once were level cap grinds like the Tome of Legends or Gianthold dragonscale amors. As it stands, the amount of grind required to obtain those items is rarely worth the benefits (with the exception of some ridiculously overpowered pieces of loot like Chattering Ring but that's another topic).

any chance of a pic of the chainmail with lifeshield?

[sirdanile]

I've only ever seen lifeshield on bows...bout high time they added it to armor!

from my quest reward list....

Splintered Winter's Wrath


Tarnished Deneith Heavy Chain


Filthy Kukri


Chipped Bastard Sword

[Dylos_Moon]

Filthy Kukri

OMG my rogue is in love.

[Borror0]

Tarnished Deneith Heavy Chain

So, it's a +1 Fullplate that requires medium armor proficiency and looks like a chain mail...

[Gorby]

OMG my rogue is in love.

Why is your rogue in love? And why is this kukri filthy? What did you do to this kukri?

Deception on a finesseable weapon that uses a stat for damage that my rogue has a positive mod in (i.e. not str).

And what she did or did not do with kukri is none of your business, a halfling is in-titled to do whatever they please with their weaponry thank you very much.

Good catch. Just went back and saw INT next to damage....

This is good for a while bunch of unorthodox builds out there.

Too bad it's INT instead of STR. When in fact an Epic Trapmonkey build could really use INT and STR

I agree that's real nice. I'm looking at my capped dex-based assassin rog and just the INT for damage mod would add about 5 damage per hit over a STR mod based kukri for an epic version. Too bad I'm not proficient with it though with just a monk splash. Oh - and I don't have IC:Slashing.

It's a problem that those changes are so easily missed. When a weapon uses non-standard modifiers to attack or damage, it should be noted with the other item's enhancements. The same goes for larger (or shorter) critical threat range, greater (or lower) maximum dexterity bonus, greater (or lower) base armor bonus, etc.

Epic kukri...with int to damage... O.O

Yep, high int characters will be unlikely to have kukri prof, although at least Wizards can cast Master's Touch. But +5 damage isn't really great: That's worth about 2d6, and what's the chance you couldn't simply have found a Holy rapier instead?

That's the same reason the existing Epic Zephyr is bad: Yes, some characters have higher dex than str, but not enough higher to compensate for all the 1d6s of damage that a greensteel weapon could easily have.

It's a problem that those changes are so easily missed. When a weapon uses non-standard modifiers to attack or damage, it should be noted with the other item's enhancements.

An additional problem with implementing it this way is that strength cannot be used for damage on it, making that kukri useless to nearly every character that actually has kukri proficiency (regardless of whether his attack rolls use strength or dexterity).

That leads into the situation where players say: "Oh I don't like that quest because it has no loot good for me". (I have already made a suggestion to change this by allowing such items to use str or int, depending on which the character is better at)

Now to find all the ways to boost INT so a character could conceivably have a higher INT than STR post-buffs...

Mechanic III Ability -- Stroke of Genius: Eureka! It all makes sense to you! With the use of 1 skill boost, you get a +8 Insight bonus to INT for 1 minute.

Ran through 2 boxing on hard, last quest on elite was only one to drop anything, still no sigils from a chest. Drop rate not looking too hot sofar, I have run the whole chain 3 times on hard effectivly and the last quest 2 extra times with no sigils dropping only from one time only end reward...
