First TR

[bkasavan]

Hey,
I'm considering TRing my cleric, and that will be my first TR.
I wanted to ask, what equipment should i get before TRing. Don't post any greensteel, but anything else is great! Also, my main has crafting at almost lv 50, so suggested craftables are heavily recommended. Thanks!

Also, the cleric will be mostly a casting cleric, only melee'ing for the first 6 levels of his life. Build will probably be something like
Str: 8
Dex: 8
con:16
Int: 8
Wis: 18
Cha: 15

All level ups into wisdom.

Thanks for the help everyone!

You may already know this but...
With House Cannith favor, you can get items to lower the minimum level requirement on crafted items.
I bought heaps before TR.


You can craft some pretty nice turning upgrades, it should help you get through the catacombs, and level to 6.

Do you have access to reavers reach?

I use that a lot, healing amp, exceptional wisdom, +100 sp. Lots of options.

I also like the Sora Kel set, from lordsmarch plaza chain.

Therer are also plenty of good items for level 18 toons, from House Cannith and Shavrath.



I see you are starting with 15 Charisma, and all level ups in wisdom.
Do you have a +3 tome planned?

Great idea! However, my question was more on the what could i make/should i make side. I am lacking in creativity on that side, and the only stuff ive really crafted are +4 Holy silver evil-outsider banes, which are very lacking in creativity.

Yes i do, that is, however, a bit too grindy for me, though i will look into getting at least one armor from it.

I also like the Sora Kel set, from lordsmarch plaza chain.

I usually run that early, so ill tyr to get that while leveling (ie: I got a Medusa's fury before i could even use it once, i love those chains!)

Those i can manage, generally, but those suggestions are also very welcome.

No, no +3 time planned, was planning on getting one of those 2AP +1 cha Cleric enhancements.

Thanks for all your help, and if you have any more ideas, please share them

Upping crafting to mid 60s in elemental for Superior Stability looks great to me - though I admit I am far less experienced than you are so take my advice for what its worth.

Though i would love to do that, in no near future will i have achieved lv 60 crafting, so that is not an option OTherwise, i was wondering if anyone would know what crafting stuff that is under lv 50 that i could do?

Under level 50 you can still craft some very useful items to get you all the way to your Fens gear - I just TR'd my main for the first time over the holidays, and his crafting is right around 40/40/40. He's in a decent level guild (63) so I hunted the AH for as many items with medium guild slots as I could find. Bracers/Adamantine Armor (expensive but worth it )/Necklaces, etc. Having 90% fortification at level 7 is nice (crafted Moderate Fort belt, 15% guild crystal on Armor), as well as +60 SP and +15 HP. +2 Attack bonus goggles come in handy too at level 7. Crafted Flametouched Iron mauls of lesser undead bane for those pesky skellies in Delera's. Crafted Superior Potency II/Ardor II items. The list goes on and on. Just play around with the bound shard device, you might be surprised at what you can make for a lowbie.

Just in case you dont know about it: http://cannith.cubicleninja.com/
I find that great for planning which gear to craft - not for a TR though as I am on my first chars first life.
