Superior Glaciation VIII kit

[Persiflage]

...or - probably for a bit less as the hassle factor for this many coin turn-ins is enormous - enough purple coins to guarantee a kit. Offers in thread, please folks: I'd like to see this find its proper level, whether that's lower or higher than I expect

Plat offers preferred, LDS considered, not really interested in FRDS; will give head-space to rare items - many thanks!

If you don't mind me asking, what amount of ingredients and recipes are involved for that kit? Not familiar with what all goes into that one.

To go from no Glaciation at all on an item to Superior Glaciation VIII, you need:
5 recipe 6/20
5 recipe 7/20
5 recipe 8/20
5 recipe 9/20
5 recipe 10/20
5 recipe 11/20
5 recipe 12/20
5 recipe 13/20
8448 motes of winter

Add another 5 recipe 14/20s and 3137 motes, and you get yourself a Superior Glaciation IX, although there's no level 9 cold spells in the game anyhow.

[Persiflage]

Yup, all of that It's a heck of a grind... and possibly the worst part is dealing with all the total rubbish that gets deposited in your inventory as you're handing in coins

[Ladywolf]

im tempted...i accidentally deconstructed the one I had like you say it was a real chore to do it myself. Buying would be much simpler

[Persiflage]

Yeah, it's a major pain... And I'm trying to do THREE while this event is on. One to help rebuild my shattered fortunes post-crafting (maybe the whole "free" thing wasn't one of my better ideas ), one for my existing capped Wizzy and one for my planned Water sorc.

If it turns out nobody is interested, I'll reassign the motes and come here offering about 150 icy burst kits

Holy shnikeys... That's a boatload of motes. If you have a weapon that already has some kind of glaciation on it already, can you start the crafting string at that appropriate stage or do you have to start from scratch?

The proper term is a "moteload"

You can start it from anywhere. Luckily I had a superior glaciation VI sceptre last time around.

[Persiflage]

Yeah, and that's probably something I should have mentioned in my original post... My current thinking is based around someone starting with a weapon that doesn't have Glaciation on it at all. It'd be an easier purchase if you don't need everything built from the ground up!

To start you off I'll offer 1 LDS for a kit.

[Persiflage]

Very much appreciate you kicking things off but as you might imagine, at nigh-on 8,500 motes and 40 recipes, I was hoping for a bit more than that Even at the greatest amount I've personally witnessed someone by a large devil scale for, that'd be a bit cut-price... but I know you know that

[holfrar]

Took a Major ice lore scepter to Sup Glac 9. (thought what the heck may as well)

Can't put an exact number on the amount of purples i turned in, but it was over 300 + over 600 blues and god knows how many whites, to get enough motes and recipes to make it.

Took a lot of jumping.

On Orien purples go for between 5-10k, gives you an idea of the rough cost of this.

[Persiflage]

Yeah, it sure is a lot of jumping! I've only been turning in purples, for the most part, as I'm aiming for those and any others I manage to grab are incidental... I'll be turning in a BIG stack later today; I think for the sake of advancement of knowledge, I'll empty my bags and see exactly how many turn-ins it takes to get a kit.

I reckon I'll be lucky if it's fewer than 500 if I stick to purps alone and it's probably more, but I'll report the final figure accurately, you may rest assured

[Syllph]

OK just a friendly warning:

I took a major Ice lore and added over 11,000 motes and all the recipes to make it Superior Glaciation IX (Who knows maybe in the future they'll add Ice to 9th level).

Everything went fine til I got to Sup. IX. Then bang! The Glaciation effect disappeared.

Now I've spent all those motes all those recipes and all that time both clicking the slow crafter and collecting purples to have a major Ice lore Item.

I've sent a bug report.

[Persiflage]

I do appreciate the warning, very much! Anyone else had this problem with Sup. Glaciation IX? I wasn't intending, as such, to make an item past VIII in any case, but if not for this I would probably have found myself tempted for the same reason you've mentioned: they might one day put a 9th level cold spell in!


Any advance on 1 LDS, by the way?

[Shade]

too much work for a noob wep.

Telvis Sash > superior anything.
50% isn't enough.

[Persiflage]

Superior Glaciation VIII, an effect not currently achievable by any other means than Risia crafting, is "a noob wep"? Right. Personally, I think that permanent +50% damage might be considered complementary to 3x 3-minute clickies for 75% damage; particularly when you consider that adding the Risia glaciation effect doesn't raise the ML, can be combined with any other effects you happen to have on a lootgen weap, and the resulting item isn't bound. I furthermore believe that there are people who'd consider such an item a very useful thing to be able to pass between their casters while they're waiting to pull a sash.

Not everyone has a stable of multiple-life toons with every item they might ever want already in their TR banks. Not everyone wants Telvi's in their belt slot, even as a swap-out. Not everyone who might want the effect even has access to Bastion.

And finally... the whole point of me selling it is that it is indeed a lot of work, and I've done it, so whoever buys it doesn't have to. And if that makes me a n00b, well and good, because I'm not 9 months into the game yet so I guess I am.

Oh, I know But noone else seems to be bidding, hence me throwing something in there. I don't need all the recipies, I still have some from last year

If noone else is interested, hit me up in a PM and I'll sweeten the deal further for you.

[Persiflage]

If the weekend comes and goes with no further real interest, I may well do just that - thanks
