Confused by Alchemical Crafting

[Djeserit]

I'm a little confused about alchemical crafting. None of the guides I've browsed seemed very clear. Is there a planner available at all?

I think I want to make a silver shield with mystical earth, earth earth for my FvS.

That would be
radiance 90, corrosion 90, earthgrab guard

Superior Acid Lore, Greater Erosion (+20) 3x charges, Superior Radiance Lore (replacing the Sup Radiance Lore on my current shield)

Efficient Metamagic - Empower II, Greater Conjuration Focus, Greater Spell Penetration IX


I have
1 shield
1 exquisite spirit of earth
1 mystical cannith power cell
2 lesser cannith power cells
4 cannith power cells
3 greater cannith power cells
102 binding khyber dragonshard fragments
283 refined
135 exquisite
stacks of stuff from killing constructs

What else do I need?

What should I choose for my 10th reward? Another mystical cell?

Off hand, it looks like you are missing:

2 Mystical Power Cells
Spirit of Earth
Refined Spirit of Earth

As an aside note, many divines go martial water on T2. You lose both lores, but you gain +2 alchemical wisdom. Tough call.

You need more normal and exquisite fragments too. You need 200 fragments to make a full shard, that is required for each tier.

Thank you.

I thought about this, but my DCs are already not bad. I have Sorc life*3, Wiz life active feat and completionist feat, so my evocation DC is 42 without twists, which I usually don't bother.

I also considered if I want laceration lore. What I find now is that I use blade barrier less and less and radiance constantly. I'm happy with arcane lore (Bracelet of Madness). Bb is only for clearing trash and most of the time I have one of those artificers with me. The artificers can't heal, have no destruction, no implosion, no avenging light, no astral vibrance and no wings. Blade barrier is about all they can do. They only have about half HP and one third SP anyway, so I let them do the blade barrier thing. They get so excited when their blade barrier crits for over 1000. Meanwhile I nuked a ton of mobs. So I use blade barrier very little anymore.
