Sell +3 Insightful Stat Augments in DDO Store

Hey, Turbine, I got an idea of how you can make a little bit more money from the DDO Store.

Sell +3 Insightful Stat Augments for characters of level 28 to 30

While you may not see the immediate benefit of increased profits from this, it will, however, have a long term benefit later for both YOU and us, the players, your paying costumers.

No . . . or at least, not yet. Maybe once the cap goes to 30, if the equipment power creep continues. But I think it's very important that augments stay a tier or two below what's available on the best named/raid gear. Right now, +3 Insightful is still a very useful stat that's enough to make some items appealing based purely on the availability of it. +4 Insightful isn't even available yet for some stats, so +3 is the best possible.

That power level shouldn't be available in a store-bought augment.

Well there is a named item in the Haunted Halls of Eveningstar that gives +4 insight to con and dex...but I cant remember the name...

Regarding about some things what I can see if your post, ya I think Turbine should look at the power creep issues.

Also, waiting til level cap is 30 seems like a reasonable time to wait.

Right -- and it's no coincidence that these are the two least important stats to maximize. Unlike STR, CHA, WIS, or INT, there are very few DC-based abilities that are affected by CON or DEX. (I know there are some, but they're rare.)

Someone trying to get a max DC sorcerer or cleric or wizard or whatever currently has some difficult gearing decisions to make. They have to seek out specific items to get +3 Insightful, or else just accept that they're going to be a point or two behind where they could be. Making +3 Insightful augments available would trivialize these gearing choices. +3 Insightful should not be available as an augment until +4 or +5 Insightful is available on certain rare/specific items.
