The crafting list up to level 100 is now on Lammania:

Muckbane for Greater Ooze Bane
Scorched Bracers for Fire Absorption 33%
Charged Gauntlets for Elec Absorption 33%
Coronation (Tome Page Turn-ins) for Greater Elf Bane
Various Threnal items for stuff
Golden Greaves for Greater Dwarf Bane
Sovereign Rune of Smiting for Greater Construct Bane
Spectral Gloves for Attack Bonus +4
Twinblade (Tome Page Turn-ins) for Greater Goblinoid Bane
Coronation (Tome Page Turn-ins) AND Boneshard Flute for Greater Undead Bane
Theurgic Staff for Greater elemental Bane
Large Devil Scale and Demon's Blood for Greater Evil Outsider Bane
Flawless Siberys Dragonshard and 5 Blood of Dragons for Greater Dragon Bane
Chaosblade for Vampirism

Is this real or a joke!?

I thought crafting would eliminate the constant shroud grind but its like a bad weed that keeps popping up. WHY!?

No to shroud ingredients
No to epic tokens (unless for epic items)
No for any ingredients from other crafting systems other then collectibles/alchemy crafting.

We cannot craft with or on premade loot... so therefore premade loot (any of it) cannot be used in crafting recipes period..... if you wish to use collectables of any sort (collectables, relics, epic tokens, etc..) so be it... but if we cant craft to it or with it... then it CANNOT BE PART OF ANY CRAFTING RECIPES.... GOT IT DEVS???

Its not a hard concept.

Chaosblade for Vampirism just made me lol... but not in a good way =P

[Snapdragoon]

i had thought about starting to devote a serious amount of intrest to crafting. . .but after reading the update all it did was give me the chance to listen to an amusing noise, of that notion flying past me

/signed for both raid and rare loot, and also boot materials.

With this update/patch, running raids will NEVER be the same again. Raids will become more or so crafting runs with a lot less items offered for roll. People running their crafter in raids will never offer raid loot and will definitely roll on what people offer, and will send tells to buy those items. Right now, one of the great thing of DDO is if you run a raid, and a player gets a raid item they don't need, said item will regularly be offered to everyone else in the raid for rolls. This will be over with this "brilliant" idea.

One another note, I see the high level recipies requiring 1 or 2 collactables, why not more of these instead of silly items requirements?

/signed and for boots and tokens and shroud ingredients as well. The grind for these are horrible enough as it is. Do you really want to separate your veterans players from your casual or new players this far? Nobody who can afford this stuff has much reason to make it.

I'll get the ball rolling:

Shroud mats - OK
Epic Tokens - OK
ToD Boot mats - Meh, I'll let it slide.
Rare Raid Items and Tomes - No way

This is not what crafting is supposed to be I understand some of the recipes were too easy but let's not be totally absurd by swinging it 200% in the other direction.

Please also consider the effect this will have on the sharing of raid loot and need before greed policies that make the community in this game so great.

I can let epic tokens, shroud mats, boot mats, and any other general crafting mat slide. +1 and +2 tomes too. Named items that are extremely rare not so much.

But if you can deconstruct a few greater halfling bane items into a chattering ring for my rogue/monk that'd be win!

also, no to GS mats, no ToD Mats, no to tomes, maybe on Epic tokens. Use all those quest reward items like Mystic Broccoli you added to the system in large amounts. NOT FRIKKEN rare raid loot.

IM IN UR RAID DECONNING UR LOOT! LOLOLOLOL

[rage9]

Yes, I always thought of this crafting as a way for people without a lot of raid gear to make items that could "keep up". That totally loses it's purpose when they have to obtain the raid item, to craft the item they were trying to craft, in order to avoid having to obtain the raid item in the first f'in place!!!!!! I'm waiting for the "Bazinga!!"

/signed over and over again

I am just gettting to the point where crafting is useful for me (Mid 30's level).
I don't get enough play time to farm all the stuff I need as it is...
Using "rare" drops will put this system out of reach for me

[Runeskald71]

SO SO

Crafting is dead unless this gets fixed... It did not even make it out of Beta how sad.

[IBCROOTBEER]

I add my stamp of approval here ... no way should raid gear be required to craft, or tomes for that matter. Heck, I feel like the cost of the ammount of essences is steep enough as crafting is now. I've spent over 3 mil plat to level my crafting so I could make these shards ... as if 3 mil plat isn't enough, now i've got to dump tomes and raid gear into it as well?

[DarkSpectre]

/signed for the reasons covered in the 177 posts above...

Coronation (Tome Page Turn-ins) for Greater Elf Bane

This is the one that kills me. A weapon worth approximately SIX MILLION PLATINUM (given that's how much you could sell the individual tome pages for) to get one of the most worthless bane types out there? What do you need for greater halfling bane? A LitII and MinII weapon?

A joke. It must be.
