Need some clarification & slot consolidation help/advice

[whereispowderedsilve]

Ill link the build I'm following & my gear set load out then precede with the questions etc:

http://my.ddo.com/character/orien/goargos/

Build is Hordo's 32 point 14 Bard(Warchanter II) 6 FvS(AoV I). It's not the build in the OP it's slightly further down

on page 1, also further down page 1 I list my tweak to the starting stat distribution.

http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=323740

Ok so 1st question: I just grinded out a pair of calomel scimitars ML 12(http://ddowiki.com/page/Calomel_Weapons)

Now I know there's a display glitch/error these get craftable +3 at that level what would be good shards to put on

them? Depending on what I put on them will that affect their ML?

2nd question: I have a wisdom necklace +5 ML 11 can I key this item for crafting & add a shard of performing +11 to

it? Will this change/increase the ML on the necklace?

3rd question: If I get a Improved false life shard crafted & key an item & add it will that increase the ML?

4th question: I have a belt of moderate fort can I key the item & add as a prefix a proof against poison shard?

Again will this change/increase the ML on the belt?

Where the heck am I gonna slot in disease immunity & also replacing the cloak with a loot gen cloak of SR 17 & prot?

can't remember I pulled from shadow crypt. Where should I slot con +4 or 5 then?

Super thanks in advance mucho appreciated! :P! !

This will cover most of your questions...

When you want to craft an item, the first step is to annihilate everything that is on it except for material type and guild slots. You don't get to keep any magical effects that are on the item.


As for the Calomel Rapiers, Holy+Bleed or Screaming+Pure Good are good combinations if you're just looking for damage. They will increase the minimum level of the item.

Ah ok! So when I key something get something not to expensive and that doesn't have a bunch of prefix or suffixes

on it already. Gotcha! Hmm prolly good idea to make sure the item is durable as well >><<

For the Calomels thanks for the suggestions, I guess may wait on adding shards for 1 or 2 more levels then!

Thanks for the quick reply! Super appreciated! +1! :P! !

This doesn't matter, unless the item is made from special material (for this purpose, adamantine or byeshk) which only applies to weapons, armor, and shields (and for byeshk, only weapons).

When you disjoin something to make it craftable, any bonus hardness/durability it got as a result of its modifiers will be wiped out as well. When you attach new modifiers, this will raise the hardness/durability again.

Ah ok! Thanks for that clarification! (I've already +1ed u, I can't/it won't let me +1 u again! /sad panda).

Still tho for the calomel scimitars are there no shards I can add at all without raising their ML from 12?

It says craftable +3 so can I add +1 of holy/bleed or screaming/good at least or?

Holy is a +2 prefix, Bleed is a +1 suffix, so yes, they will fit into a +3 craftable.

They will raise the level, unless you apply a shard of craftmanship to the final product. To do that, you either need absurdly good luck in loot, to buy a cannith mark from someone else who had absurdly good luck in loot, or bulk up to 50 House C favor to be able to buy the marks yourself.

The shard of craftmanship will reduce the final level of a crafted item by 2.

Thank you for the very clear explanation! Super appreciated! :P! !

[whereispowderedsilve]

Ok so I've finagled all of these shards now now need help applying them!(plz!)

So I have a righteous shard & a bleeding shard & a pure good shard & a screaming shard & a +2 shard.

Also I will use my main to pass the cannith marks over to the toon who is going 2 use the calomel scimitars(ML12).

Now how do I add the shards to each of the scimitars plz & thx a bunch!

Any & all advice/info step by steps guides with a video or screenshot even greater appreciated!

Thanks again! :P! !

P.S. Can I add a Improved False life shard to a ring of the stalker ML 12?(also use a cannith mark on this 2 right?)

[whereispowderedsilve]

My apologies for the improper double post/bump.

Ok so I can't add the Improved False Life unbound shard to the stalker ring tier 3(ML12)? Any & all info on this would

be super greatly appreciated! :P! ! Mucho thanks in advance! :P! !
