Twinking Lowbies With New Crafting

[AZ1JoeT]

I was just wondering if anyone has stumbled across any good items to start their lowbies out with. With the ability to "overwrite" existing crafted items, it seems possible that certain crafted items might "grow" with the character. For example, a hat could have wisdom and concentration bonuses on it and one could increase either bonus as they leveled. Invulnerability on armor could also see similar increases (eg, +1, +2, +3, and balance or jump with similar increases)

What have you crafted for your lowbie?

+2 Ghost Touch of Lesser Undead Bane. Min level 7. Not spectacular, but useful. Also spell boosting clickies are very nice for low levels, especially superior ardor 1 and 2. I got through a lot of levels on my Cleric with those.

[Vissarion]

Some good ones:

ML 1 Invulnerability
Blood of Invulnerability for WF later on
Lifeshield of Invulnerability for fleshies

ML5 Moderate Fort items (ring seems especially nice, given the paucity of good low level rings)

ML 9 Blindness Ward of Attack Bonus +2 Goggles

ML 5 Holy Maul of Undead Bane

Probably forgetting some other good ones.

The +2 attack goggles at level 5 are just great. There isn't much else to use the slot for at that range anyway. I also have a secret door detection trinket that I like to put on. It saves me the trouble of using a short duration clickie. I think it's min lv 3. As stated, Invulnerability is also very handy.

Thron Guard Adamantine Full Plate at lv 3, upgrade to stability/greater stability if you are true neutral and above lv 5/7.

Holy silver weapon of lawful outsider bane lv 7 for chrono/devil assult

Featherfall ring (ML1) of Persuasion (make it ML 5 for feather fall + UMD 3)

Getting Healing Lore before lv 9/12 if someone want to heal better

Screaming Maul of Everbright so you got 2hander Muskbane

Also Good Luck +2 trinket will be min level 9

Icy burst of dragon bane usable before greensteel for velah beating
featherfalling of moderate fort ring ml 5 or 7(can't check ATM) with augment slot (yay for wf)
anarchic adamantine construct bane with no + for von3 bossbeating
holy of lesser undead bane (on flametouched iron) worked great going into deleras
acid burst everbright for general beating in ooze happy areas
superior devotion4 ring with a min level below when level4 spells are obtained
belt with +resistance(all saves)
+2 attack bonus goggles with a really low ml
some nice twinkage in there. I found that tohit on weapons with no +enhancement but two damage mods was wonky though. Standing in the craft hall I'd see one attack rating in the detail pane of inventory. Standing just outside the crafting hall I'd see another value with no other changes.
Still haven't sorted that one out.(and no I'm talking greatswords not the superbuggy handwraps).

I love making pure stat items, they are same level as RR without being RR so its major win. Nothing like having a paladin with the 4 +4 stat items I want at level 7. Add in Wizardry II at level 5 for spell casting toons, and bloodrage at 5 and I am pretty happy with it

[AZ1JoeT]

I added Wis +2 and Concentration +3 to an item. It became ML5, which was too much for my Lvl 4 monk. I used dust of disjunction so I could reapply only a Wis +2 shard, but the ML5 stayed on the "blank" helm. Is this normal?

I did not want to add the Wis +2 shard to see if the ML5 went away. Anyone else experienced this?

Yes, it's more than a little annoying. Pretty sure it's a known issue, though.

[Vellrad]

I've made 5 superior inferno IV weapons and 5 superior mending 5 weapons, so my lowbie sorc never runs out of +75% DPS and +75% hjealz.
Also I've deconstructed a lot of items with small guild slots, just wearing blanks with +10HP and +80SP (little OP at lv1 IMO )

[NeoVidGITP]

Bloodrage chain shirt of Greater Stability on my lvl 9 rogue, as well as holy silver weapons.

[phalaeo]

For my WF FvS:

• Ring of Moderate Fort, Medium Guild Slot (Slotted with +60sp, which doubles to +120 for a FvS), ML:5
• +3 Unholy Cold Iron Greatsword of Chaotic Outsider Bane.... because I want to bust RWTD to a pulp

For my Baby Shintao Monk (who I'm trying to level with mostly crafted items):

• Necklace of Concentration +10, ML:7
• Ring, DEX +4, ML:7
• Ring, WIS +4, ML:7
• Natural Armor Robe of Invulnerability, ML:7
• +1 GT Handwraps of PG, ML:7
• Feather Falling Ring, ML:1
• Striders-- can't remember the percentage, but it's higher than normal for level)
• Goggles of Battle Skill +2, ML:5, I think? Need to upgrade
• Belt of Moderate Fort, Medium Guild slot with +15hp slotted, ML: 5

yes disjunctioning and having a blank with the ml is normal. adding a shard recalcs ml. also note if you go to options, gameplay there's an option to remove the shard prefix/suffix overwrite warning. check it, as it starts unchecked(causing the warning that prevents overwriting). you can then apply a different prefix/suffix directly without disjunction. it should recalc the ml fine this way. just don't be a doof and reapply the same prefix/suffix as is already on the item. sometimes it breaks when doing this, and no i haven't tracked down exactly the situations that cause it when doing this yet(net went out last 24ish hours since first noting this).

My Pal 2/Sorc 4 has lousy Reflex saves. And can only wear light or cloth armor. So I crafted this:
