So good damage does not break Ghostly Skeleton DR in Deleras...

[Enderoc]

I was about to craft some holy and head to Deleras when a Good Damage popped up as an end reward...so I head to Deleras and at the end this Good Damage was not breaking DR.

Any other new items having the same problem?

All of the new random loot that does Alignment damage is bugged and doesn't bypass alignment DR.

You'll have to find an old random loot item (search AH for "Holy" or "Pure Good") , or a named item if you want to beat the ghostly skeletons DR.

Or use spells. Or use that club/mace the NPC gives you. Or use a hireling that can deal damage to them.

Also, Crafting with the new random items is borked as well. You'll need a pre-updated weapon to craft with.

Also, flametouched iron weapons work. There's still quite a few of those left around.

I was able to make a holy weapon using the new table items. No essences at all for deconstructing them however.

FYI: if the known issues list is to be believed, that item will be destroyed when U30 launches.

Go into Chronoscope raid, after the first fight - go to the bar - you can purchase a variety of flame touch weapons that you can use for blanks.

Or simply get a cheap normal weapon from the harbor weapon shop. It's what I've been using for years.

Or even "better" get a waterwork or sharn syndicate end reward BTA weapon. Even with bound shards they remain BTA.

Is skeleton DR not good+bludgeon?? This might be the issue.

Hush both of you. The new loot system is "much improved". You're imagining it.

Skeleton DR generally is just blunt.
Ghostly skeletons have two types of DR, blunt and good and good takes precedence. That's a poor way to describe it - essentially vs those specific skeletons only found in Delera's tomb, if you don't have good, whether it is piercing/slashing/blunt is going to make fundamentally very little difference. If you do have good, there is still a bit of DR vs pierce/slash that can kick in and lower you numbers, but you'll be seeing zeros or near zeroes without good either way.

[Enderoc]

I was using Handwraps FYI...and if the item I made is going to be destroyed that sucks as I made it mastercraft.

Random loot good wraps did 0 damage... so I tried to run to a place to recall, dungeon alert Red and a whole dungeon of skeletons entrapping me right when I was almost in the clear where the underwater switch drawbridges are...and boom... woke up on the guild ship.

[Starla70]

Does this mean the power creep has now reached Delera's? Week by week day by day onw or two quests are being upgraded. It is always a surprise now to see which one today.

not true - they have just DR/good - u can use whatever good aligned weapon and not see yellow numbers

[kemetka]

not true - they have just DR/good - u can use whatever good aligned weapon and not see yellow numbers

is the important part, the thing with the new loot is that they deal that type of damage in addition, just like if you had a weapon deal fire damage. The fact that they deal 'good" damage though does not give them the "good alignment" so what you need is either an aligned weapon, or a weapon that is either "holy" / "pure good" / "righteous".

I didnt know that flametouched weapons would bypass the ghostly skeleton's DR.

Also, and its been a long time since ive been in Delera's but as I remember it the ghostly skeletons only have DR/good, you could use whatever weapon you wanted and it would deal damage as normal as long as it had the good alignment.

[dunklezhan]

I stand corrected, but I did stress that the important part was good. But yes, it is not good damage you need, its good aligned and that is currently only possible with cannith crafting or a flametouched item.

1-handed: club of the silver flame.

2-handed: staff from the catacombs.

handwraps: catacombs again.

Yep, but it might take a while to get the right one. Especially when looking for a weapon, how many run before a warhammer is offered if that's what you are looking for, for example. Sharn is actually a bad example here as, while it is a great place to get accessory items since they are static drops tied to specific quests. none of them are weapons and no vendors sell non-enchanted accessories anyway.
