Hoping for a bunch of crafting work :D

[Failedlegend]

Hey guys for the longest time my artificer has been falling FAR behind on equipment and whilst I've been working to catch it up I plan on heading into the underdark soon and well my own crafting levels are rising fast enough so i was hoping I could hire someone to assist me with this. Anywhere's here's my wanted list.

Weapon: Acidburst Heavy Repeater of Vampirism w/+5 Conjured Bolts
Cloak: Cha+6 of +13 Diplomacy
Gloves: Dex+6 of +13 Spot/OL/DD/Search (4 different gloves, wear primarily the Dex of Spot and swap to the others as needed)
Belt: Con+6 of Improved False Life Belt
Feet: +20% Strider, +5 Resistance
Goggles: Int+6 of Concen+13
Ring 2: Str+6 of Wizardry 5

So either if you can craft the above or just happen to have a random lootgen with the same or better (ie. + 15 Skill) as long as its ML 16 (RR is fine)

Any trades will be done on my Crafter Kraite Treebender since I store everything on him but the items are for Skezid Mudbuffer

Anyways now here's what I have I only have a small amount of plat but I'm hoping to trade some of my stuff for the above.

Vampirism can't be unbound-crafted; likewise Resistance +5. You may want to reconsider STR + Wizardry ring; Archmagi appears on lootgen/swappable ToD belts, and Wiz VI is on a number of Conopp GS recipes, which as an arti you will probably want to craft.

I craft at-cost--meaning if you provide all greater/lesser essences, Khyber/Siberys shards, and special materials, I'll make anything you need for no additional charge for time or labour (clicking is hard!).

So substituting +4 resistance and lesser vampirism, estimating Khyber/Siberys ings as 1 PP each, and greater essences as 225 PP each (lessers @ 225/5):

	greater	lesser	khy/sib	special	
Weapon: Acidburst Heavy Repeater of Lesser Vampirism w/+5 Conjured Bolts	earth, evil				
	45	80	16	1 sour darkcap	
	18	32	9		
Cloak: Cha+6 of +13 Diplomacy	mind, mind				
	108	256	49	3 blessed candles	
	63	224	36		
Gloves: Dex+6 of +13 Spot/OL/DD/Search (4 different gloves, wear primarily the Dex of Spot and swap to the others as needed)	body, half each body/mind				
	432	1024	196	8 ruddy fungi	x4
	252	896	144		x4
Belt: Con+6 of Improved False Life Belt	body, body				
	108	256	49	2 ruddy fungi	
	30	80	16	2 bruised spore pods	
Feet: +20% Strider, +4 Resistance	air, divine				
	45	80	16	1 romantic sonnets	
	45	80	16	2 ceramic bowls	
Goggles: Int+6 of Concen+13	mind, mind				
	108	256	49	3 chipped bone talismans	
	63	224	36		
Ring 2: Str+6 of Wizardry 5 	body, divine				
	108	256	49	3 chipped bone talismans	
	108	256	49	3 mystical formulae	
Subtotal:					
	1533	4000	730	27	
Total:
525655	344925	180000	730

Total cost of about 525655. I would probably say charging you 2 LDS + 2 LS + 2 LC + special collectibles is fairish; I haven't been able to determine a static price for LDS in /trade... it seems to fluctuate wildly. However, I would greatly prefer the option of you collecting all the materials and handing them to be me before crafting; I probably don't have enough body/mind essences and would have to /trade for them.

If you're still interested we can further negotiate pricing via PM or publicly (more useful for searchable trade data).

Vampirism also can't be crafted on ranged weapons.

[Failedlegend]

Heh see the main problem with ToD, Shroud,etc. is my character is not equipped to handle those quests this crafting is an attempt to catch up...I'm also going to eventually want some stuff from demon queen and other raids as well....crafting is just the fastest way to upgrade my character for now so I can survive in at-level (and slightly below) quests for better loot. I'd want Armor crafted as well but its not TOO hard to get 20 BDS and the Black Dragon Hide is quite awesome.

Oh...and apparently vampirism doesn't work...imagine that another thing that doesn't work for ranged...need a different secondary...any suggestions? Bleed? Improved Destruction? Body Feeder? Stat Reduction? Improved Slowburst? 10% Alacrity?

As for getting you the ingredients I'd love to but what I have posted there is all I have essence wise and honestly would rather give up the larges and keep the ingreds for my own lvling purposes.

Oh and feel free to suggest other enchantments this is just the best I could think of...for example what is resisted/immune less Acid or lightning...cause thats the weapon I'll want...speaking of which can we add +5 Shocking (or Acid) Burst of Incite + 20% Handwraps to the list (to be converted to a weapon for my dog)

oh and forget false life on the Belt...Con+6 is fine even just regular false life puts the ML above 16...lesser false life works though :P

Actually I'm dumb...I just realized most of the stuff i want is above lvl 16...back to the drawing board I guess (no worries I'll be back shortly)

[Thalone]

I don't see why you wouldn't be prepared for Shroud... still lots of normals being run, even though hard now seems to be the default difficulty. An arty would surely be welcome in any hard/normal Shroud run, regardless of base gear, with your weapon buffs/DR breaking capabilities, and ability to DPS safely at range.

Alacrity, I don't think, stacks with Haste or Amour of Speed, so isn't terribly useful on an arti. Pure Good for DR breaking might be a nice choice, or Sneak Attack (unsure if it works with ranged).

You may also want to check out the Cannith Challenge ring, which is a good temporary option for Wizardry and would be a good swap item for Recon (assuming you're WF?).

Devils usually take full damage from lightning (most importantly, Arraetrikos if you're going to farm Shroud) and have enough acid resistance to make Acid Burst pointless. DQ has lightning immunity, but no acid resistance at all--but this isn't terribly important sub-epic.

I forgot to mention... I assume you can get your own potential shards? If not, I'd have to break out a spreadsheet again and see what additional cost that would incur. Also, as the vampirism issue showed, any shard compatibility issues are solely the purchaser's problem

While you're rejigging, remember you can use Masterful Crafting shards (you should be able to do these on an arti pretty easily) to lower the ML by two. So at level 16, you'd be able to wear +9 Cannith-crafted items (9*2-1-2 = 15). This requires 50 Cannith favour though, or exorbitant AH prices for unbound Marks of House Cannith.

[Failedlegend]

Ok here's the new ML 16 friendly request


Weapon: Shocking Burst Heavy Repeater of Improved Slowburst w/+5 Conjured Bolts
Cloak: Cha+6
Gloves: Dex+6 ,+15 DD, +15 Search (3 different gloves, wear primarily the +6 Dex and swap to the others as needed)
Belt: Con+6 of Lesser False Life Belt
Feet: +20% Strider, +4 Resistance
Goggles: Int+6 of Secret Door Detection
Ring 1: Feather Falling of Diplomacy + 13
Ring 2: Str+6 (easy for swap...only wear if being weighed down)
Handwraps: Shocking Burst Handwraps of Incite +20%

[Thalone]

Wasn't clear from your notes if you wanted +5 skills on the gloves or +7; I assumed +5 in the calculations. So about 420k plat equivalent, assuming you can make your own potentials and will get your own blanks. Uh... 2 LDS + 1 LS?

Sorry their +13... only the first pair are +6 dex the others are JUST the skill boosts...as for the potentials my levels are only high enough for the first few...I could just give you the essences for them (not sure if I have enough) Blanks Ill aquire on my own...want to have a good model for my goggles especially

Alternatively just make the potentials and add a +11 Concentration Shard for my rune arm and make the price 2 LDS and 2 LS?

So

Weapon: Shocking Burst Heavy Repeater of Improved Slowburst w/+5 Conjured Bolts
Cloak: Cha+6
Gloves: Dex+6 ,+13 DD, +13 Search (3 different gloves, wear primarily the +6 Dex and swap to the others as needed)
Belt: Con+6 of Lesser False Life Belt
Feet: +20% Strider, +4 Resistance
Goggles: Int+6 of Secret Door Detection
Ring 1: Feather Falling of Diplomacy + 13
Ring 2: Str+6 (easy for swap...only wear if being weighed down)
Handwraps: Shocking Burst Handwraps of Incite +20%
Runearm: +11 Concen
A Handful of potentials

for

2 Large Devil Scales
2 Large Shrapnel

Note: Will use own blanks

[bibimbap]

Could we maybe see your current gear setup? maybe we can talk you into doing something cheaper?

[Failedlegend]

Currently I have

Weapon: Hellfire X-Bow w/+5 Conjured Bolts
Rune-Arm: Flame Warden
Armor: +5 Lightning Guard Feycraft Scalemail of Lesser Sonic Resistance
Cloak: Cha+2 Cape & Cape of the Roc (Mostly for Feather Fall)
Gloves: Dex +2 Gloves, +13 OL Gloves (I had DD Gloves but they disappeared somehow)
Belt: Ogre Power Belt + 6
Feet: Surefooted boots (+20% Strider, +10 Balance)
Head: Minos Legens (100% Fort, +20 HP)
Trinket: Cunning Trinket (+50SP) / Dusk Heart (+20 HP/10% Blur)
Wrists: Wind Howler Bracers (+2 Attack/Damage, 10d6 on Crit)
Goggles: Goggles of Perception (+2 to-hit, +10 Spot/Search)
Neck: Golden Cartouche (+3 UMD)
Ring1: Feather Falling Ring
Ring2: Underbreathing clicky

[Thalone]

Yeah, it's gonna get even more expensive unless you can do the potentials yourself... unbound potential +7 would be 6750 each at 225/5 per lesser; +8 would be 13500.

I took a gander at the AH and some of the stuff you want can be bought far cheaper (there was an Ogre Power +6 ML 13/CHA 6 cloak for a few thousand rather than the tens of thousands it would cost me to produce one), and disable/escape gloves should be pretty cheap too. And you can substitute lootgen Clever +6 eyewear with a detect secret door clickie to save you some there too. And you can sub lootgen Eloquence for the featherfall + diplo ring, and swap for when you need FF. The requested Health +6 Belt of Lesser False Life won't stack with the Dusk Heart.

Just sitting and looking at the AH now, probably the only things in your list you couldn't readily substitute with lootgen would be striding boots of resistance and the weapons.

Hmmm...lemme see what I can clear out with the AH than we will work on whats left

[bibimbap]

I sent you a pm I agree with Thalone resistance can go on you as a +6 stability item on your body

[Failedlegend]

OK I reduced it a bit

Weapon: Shocking Burst Heavy Repeater of Improved Slowburst w/+5 Conjured Bolts
Gloves: +13 Search
Belt: Con+6
Feet: +20% Strider, +4 Resistance (too bad you can put stability of boots...which IMO makes total sense, the ML is much lower)
Ring 1: Feather Falling of Diplomacy + 13
Ring 2: Str+6 (easy for swap...only wear if being weighed down)
Handwraps: Shocking Burst Handwraps of Incite +20%
Runearm: +11 Concen (13 is too big for rune arm enchant)
A Handful of potentials (Gimme a bit to calculate what I can make of this - BTW how do I apply potentials...like a normal shard but before the enhancements?)


For...you name it...you seem to know worths better than i do,

[Thalone]

Yes, you apply potentials just like normal shards. But you have to apply +6 before you can apply +7, and so on up to +15.

Honestly, the more I think about this, you're probably better off using almost-as-good lootgen stuff from the AH, and upgrading as you loot better stuff or find deals on the AH. E.g., A couple of Health +4 belts for 4k on the AH right now, and that's only a decrease of 16 HPs at level 16. Once you get to Amrath you'll be able to get named belts with CON 6 and GFL together. Or a random STR +4 since it's just a swap item for overloaded. And you could consider Bibi's suggestion to put (Greater) Stability if you can craft it yourself. Still happy to craft whatever you want, just want to make sure you consider your options.

Based on your current request:

	greater	lesser	khy/sib	special	
(+5) Weapon: Shocking Burst Heavy Repeater of Improved Slowburst w/+5 Conjured Bolts	air, water				
	45	80	16	2	singed soarwood

	9	12	4		
Materials Total	606	1452	270	17	
Plat equivalent	136350	65340	270		
201960

Additional cost of 43875 if you can't do your own potentials (5x(+6), 2x(+7), 1x(+8) for total 975 lessers). Let's say approximately 1 LDS, and if you can't do your own potentials, then the plat equivalent on top of that?

[Failedlegend]

Not sure if any of these are affected but FYI

Many shard recipes have had their Lesser Essence requirements significantly reduced.
Recipes for Unbound shards now require two-thirds as many Greater Essences.

I'm off today and tommorow wondering if you got time to make the trade (I'll be sure I'm home just respond here)

Weapon: Shocking Burst Heavy Repeater of Improved Slowburst (No Potentials Required)
Gloves: +13 Search (Needs +6 Potential)
Belt: Con+6 (Needs +6 Potential)
Feet: +20% Strider, +4 Resistance (Needs +6,7,8 Potential)
Ring 1: Feather Falling of Diplomacy + 13 (Needs +6,7 Potential)
Ring 2: Str+6 (Needs +6 Potential)
Handwraps: +5 Shocking Burst Handwraps of Incite +20% (Needs +6,7,8 Potential)
Runearm: +11 Concen (No potential required)

Potentials have been made already so no need to worry about that. (6 x 6s, 3 x 7s, 2 x 8s)



Sidenote: New Tensers spell FTW

[Ssdprref]

Weapon: Shocking Burst Heavy Repeater of Improved Slowburst (No Potentials Required)

Go for laceration repeater, best dmg ingame.

Battle Engineer add to the weapon not bolt(?), and +5 Heavy Repeater of Laceration are fairly easy to obtain. That way you can make flaming bolt for a extra ~2.7 per bolt.

Runearm: +11 Concen (No potential required)

I'd suggest you to try and reach at least 25 on any crafting school, that way you can create Masterful Craftmanship, thus reducing the ML of a Rune Arm by two. Having Lucid Dreams from lvl 17 it's really nice.


On a side note, consider have a Impulse and a Reconstruct scepter set. Some times kiting with a blade barrier will deal damage off the charts.

Also, I take you'll be using Wind Howler Bracers as bracers? If not they're really nice too.

Hope it helps.

[Failedlegend]

Hey guys thanks for all the help my order has been filled i despite my inability to pay attention causing me to throw a few extra potentials on my items everything worked well.

Cloak: Cha+6
Gloves: Dex+6/+13 OL/DD/Search (4 different gloves, wear primarily the Dex and swap to the others as needed)

I have a couple of suggestions here. I have capped 2 arties, and really enjoy the class.

Main Repeater:It may take some time, but I would suggest taking the time to farm the ingredients for a Min II Heavy Repeater. As you are now heading into the new content, run the quest for a slavers hand crossbow very useful addition. I have to admit, I'm a loot junkie, and carry 10 different repeaters for situational use.

Runearm: farm Master Artificer for Toven's hammer, it will be useful.

Trinket: Epic spyglass from Crytal Cove

Rings: TOD rings are your best bet

Boots: Cannith boots of propulsion they are not too difficult to farm.

Armor:I wouldn't spend the scales on a black dragon armor, unless you are going to upgrade it at some time to green or red. The War Wizards stuff is what you should think about so you can have the full set of War Wizards for the bonuses.

You will more than likely wish to upgrade to the full War Wizards set from Eveningstar, as it's pretty nice, and gives a 10% Spell point rediction.

oddball stuff mainly for convienience:

Try an epic Chrono goggles for the haste
A Kinetic staff or club for force upgrade when casting I use a reconstruction of Kinetic lore staff, but you're fleshie.
