Greensteel Crafting Advice

I am just starting to run the shroud on my level 17 caster cleric, and I was wondering if anyone could advise me on what kinds of items to craft.

There are a few things that you will want.

• Concordant Opposition Accessory - This is a dual shard item
• HP Item - Single Shard - trip earth or Dual - MinII maybe?
• GS Weapon - Recommend a Trip Positive Bludgeoning - Great Skell beater and has a rez clickie

That would be a start.

Not sure how you have your toon geared up currently. Lots of people use the eye slot for con/op. There have been a few discussions as to how to make the con/op item. I prefer the Neg/Pos/StalemateII over the Pos/Neg StalemateII. This way you get blindness and disease immunities built in to the item. I addes 50 sp on tier two and 100 sp on tier three. I stress again - Concordant Opposition is a dual shard recipe so please follow the planner recipe exactly how its laid out.

The HP item can go just about anywheres. My cleric has two right now. The first one i made was trip earth HP item. I replaced it with a trip air boot set when i got the Bracers of the Glacier. If you wanted to make another dual shard recipe i suppose you could make a MinII helm. It offers a stone skin clickie, heavy fort and +5 protection. Personally I didnt go this way, but it is an option.

Do you currently use a planner? If not, I would 1000% recommend the DDO Game Guide. It is a download, not a web based planner. A link to the down load can be found here --> http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=137347

Good luck with it!

After capping and equipping several Clerics, my choice for first GS item on a new Cleric would likely be Concordant Opp - Blindness Ward/Disease Immunity - HP Goggles. They're dual shard, and can take a while to get the mats to finish, but I like having the HP and Conc Opp on an item I'm not likely to ever want to take off (but that, of course, depends on your build )

My gear is as follows:
Main Hand: Scepter of Healing
Off Hand: switch between shield of heavy fort and spell pen items
Deathblock Robe of Magi
Raven's Sight
Sora Kell Set
Sacred Band
Enchantment Bracers of Sustenance +3
Feather Falling Boots of Balance +5
Health + 5 Belt of Spell Resistance (13)
Voice of the Master
Cloak of Night
Twisted Talisman

My build is as follows:
15, 9, 20, 12, 32, 15
Skill points in concentration, diplomacy, and split between balance and jump with a couple of points in UMD (for earlier scroll access)
typical spellcaster feat and enhancement progression - not really meant for swinging a scepter

as for build help, in addition to DDO Wiki, I have been playing around with http://crafting.cubicleninja.com/

Regarding Minos, I am premium player with no plans to buy more packs. Here is the list of high-level packs I have:
Vale and Sub
Gianthold
Attack on Stormreach
Vault of Night (to stretch high level a bit)

Thanks for all the advice so far
