A little bit confusing... with the crafting system

[amylee4000]

Yes, I was playing DDO from 2007 and D&D from the 94 and I cannot understand one thing.

In the new crafting system I was doing my +2 flametouch shortsword of parrying, Im level 8 and I was using it.
Now I made the same swords with void lore +2 flametouch shortsword of void lore and surprise, I cannot use it because is for level 9.... Why?!?!?!

I dont understand the meaning of +5, +4 etc... and the powershard to increase the level from +5 to +6 etc....

English is not my language this is the reason why I dont understand that, Please Help!!!

If you look in the upper right corner of the shard description, there will be a + number there. Parrying is +2, while Void Lore is +3. The + is the Enchantment Level of the shard. To determine the minimum level of a crafted item, you will need to add up the +'s of the shards put onto the item, multiply the total by 2, then subtract one.

So, for example:

+1 plus +2 = +3 times 2 = 6 minus 1 = 5, so this item would have a minimum level of 5.

So, for the +2 Flametouch Shortsword of Parrying, it would be:
+2 + +2 = +4
+4 x 2 = 8
8 - 1 = minimum level 7.

The +2 Flametouch Shortsword of Void Lore is:
+2 + +3 = +5
+5 x 2 = 10
10 - 1 = minimum level 9.

Here is a LINK to our Official Cannith Crafting Guide, which is also available in French and German. While the guide doesn't get into minimum levels, it may have other information that will be useful to you.

Good luck, and have fun!

Totally Understood, thanks now I will craft properly.

I will check in French and German but I dont speak that languages, still waiting for if someday the game will be translated too to Spanish.
