question for a shroud crafting expert

[Ahrimon]

when crafting a mixed focus item does the tier 3 focuses just have to match the tier 1 and 2 focuses or does the tier 3 have to match the lower tiers focus, gem and essence?

this is the item im trying to make, is this possible?

tier I
focus: earth
gem: escalation
essence: etheral
which gives me: wizardry VI , +1 to wis skills

tier II
focus: positive
gem: opposition
essence: material
which gives me: improved regeneration (2 hp / 30 sec)
and also gives me: stoneskin 2x/day

tier III
focus 1: earth
gem 1: escalation
essence 1: material

focus 2: positive
gem 2: opposition
essence 2: material

which gives me: +20 hp, +3 to con skills
and also gives me: heavy fort, protection +5

Nope, they don't have to be the same as lower tiers.

But make sure yours gems for t3 are the same.

(Not that I would recommend the item, it's not very good).

Actually I think that gives you stone ele summons. Stoneskin is on a weapon.

And maybe you can tell us more about your build and what you are looking for because this item does seem to to a little of everything and not a great job at anything.

Ran it thru Zaodan's crafter and it does say stoneskin...doesn't look too bad, but not great either OP....give us your build and what you're trying to do and maybe we can give you some better info

here's another one I use, I tend to use both at the same time and flip back and forth so as to get the best idea what I truly want

I prefer this crafting planner. It is the one I (and most people I know) use exclusively.

This planner is by far one of the best tools i have found for ddo... it really takes the ?'s out of green steel....

If I'm not mistaken

Earth/Earth gives earth ele summons

Earth/Positive or Positive/Earth gives stoneskin

OP, also on tier II the regen is only 1 hp/30 s

See PM for clarification.

Stoneskin can be on both- I have a Cloak with a SSkin clicky.

Yes, but you better go for +25 extra HPs than Wizardry VI & regeneration, IMO (Wizardry VI can be obtained easily enough on an item you swap after buffing, while regen doesn't really make a practical difference except for the purpose of stabilizing).
