Items with Potency enhancement?

[charmor]

My favored soul is lvl 8, and I play mostly like a buffed melee. However, I like casting some offensive spells when I have the opportunity, such as Searing Light and Holy Smite. Of course later I'll be using Bladed Barrier a lot, and maybe Flame Strike.

I know there are easy to find clubs with Potency VI and such enhancements, but I use a greatsword all the time and would like not to change to a club every time I'm casting a spell to get that +50% damage. So, are there other ways to improve spells such as Blade Barrier, Flame Strike and Holy Smite? I basically want to increase my spell damage without having to drop my greatsword..

Items like helms, rings, and amrath neck when get that high. There are more but that should be what ya want albeit a lil rarer than weaps. Watch the AH

[Chette]

I have never found anything above maybe improved potency III on a ring or helm. If better ones exist I've never seen them. There is a necklace with superior potency VI on it from amrath, but you will likely want to wear a torc. I crafted a pirate hat from the recent crystal cove event with superior potency VI on it for just this reason.

Wish I'd seen this earlier, about a week ago I threw a Superior Potency VI Greataxe on the AH...

But honestly, your best bet at Superior Potency VI is a weapon, sadly.

You can put Greater Potency 7 on Dragon-touched armor in the Sovereign Rune slot.
That is a 40% increase and you shouldn't need more then that.

He is Level 8 or 9 I believe, and Dragontouched armor is quite a bit higher?

There is the Sora Kell set benefit that gives 40% potency for lvl 6 and lower spells. this is from the lvl 12 droaam quests. You need to wear 3 items but it also gives +2 damage which is perfect for a melee favored soul. You need a ring a helm and another item which i cant remember.
I also picked up a +3 potency 6 greatsword from the AH and added icy burst from the most recent risia ice games.

The Bard necklaces from Amrath (there are three, Smedgar's, Shiona's and...?) all have Superior Potency VI and Wizardry VI on them. Personally, I'm not keen on giving up a neck slot, but that is an option.

Also, when the Crystal Coves comes back (likely in a month or two) you can craft up to Superior Potency VI onto the pirate hates (along with up to +15 to a skill). You could make a Sup. Pot VI, Concentration +15 hat. Or Balance +15. This is probably your best bet for leveling.

As another poster mentioned, you can craft Greater Potency VII onto Dragontouched armor.

Earlier in the game there are the Robe of Arcane Puissance (Tempest's Spine, Potency IV at around ML 10), the Belt of the Seven Ideals (Tor, Improved Potency VII at around ML 14) and the blue dragon armors with Improved Potency VII at ML 14 as some other options.

depending on how much it bothers you to pack around a bunch of clickies, you could just use superior efficacy VI clickies. they're not terribly rare ime, usually not that expensive, and they work.

alternately, you may be able to find some potions somewhere... honestly, i've never checked how high the efficacy potions go. i doubt they have superior ones though... most of the ones i've noticed stop at greater

You forgot Torin's, thats the best one because when you combine it with a ring u get a good discount to metas like maximize and extend

[Habreno]

The pots go up to Greater Potency V if I recall correctly.

And if worst comes to worst at L20 you can wield the T3 dagger in your offhand and get +50% to all spells Level 7 and below.

[katz]

i used to have a 40% potentcy 4 or 5 greatsword. what server you on? i can take a look and see if i still have it.

Which choice is potency? I see lores on items, and superior group focii, but no potency in the builder.

I think you get Lore on items and Potency-type effects on weapons (note that you can't get potency on greensteel, just the specific element/alignment version, which doesn't help for BB).

[Calebro]

Depending on what kind of weapons you normally use, you can find them. For example, I have a +3 Superior Potency VI scimitar that my FvS uses sometimes in her off hand when I know I'll be casting BB a lot. I've seen longswords, rapiers, shortswords (which my cleric mutt uses in off hand), etc.
Daggers, clubs and scepters are the most common, but by no means are they the only ones.
When not expecting to use BB, as in when I need it quickly, and for general purpose, I have Sov Rune of Magic on my DT for Greater Potency VII.

Lore comes on weapons as well.
Before I TR'd Calebrus, he'd use a stat effect kama (para/vorpal/etc) on the main hand and a fire/cold/misc lore kama in the off hand. Potency on DT, drinking pots for potency prior to DT. He has quite a collection of arcane kamas collecting dust in his TR cache.
I also have a few random arcane style lore longswords floating around on mules.

edit: I see you were speaking about GS, and I missed that. I thought it was a general discussion, and I see it's shifted focus to GS. Ignore.
