U32 - Named Loot First Look

[AnEvenNewerNoob]

ANOTHER SEPARATE CRAFTING SYSTEM?

REALLY?

Does almost every pack have to have its own crafting system? is it in the contract?

I know I can't be the only one who has been suffering from acute ingredient BURN OUT.

I am sick to death of all the disjointed crafting systems. (Which end up useless and outdated in a flash and aren't worth any sort of grind at all)

[GregorianPL]

can you add medium version of armor aswell ? barbarians wants to wear something like this aswell...

Im not a fan of wizardry on staffs due to them being two-handed weapons. It means you lose the spell points if you want to use scrolls for buffing at start of a quest. Magical Efficiency would be a better option instead.

Currently there is no way to alleviate that. It is similar to what you run into with rings.

Gear sets is a good idea, but it isn't something we've looked into yet and I really wouldn't expect we could put something like that together in time for U32.

Would it be feasible to add options to the barter interface to trade the dropped item for a version that can only be equipped in one slot? i.e. The shackles would drop as equippable to both arms and feet, but could be traded for a version that only equips to arms or a version that only equips to feet.

Or a stone of change recipe that lets you switch slot preferences.

We don't really want 3 items to turn into 9 of the same item where some can and can't do things others can/can't.

We could discuss which would be the better default slot for them to have, but we don't want this becoming overly complex with all of those almost identical items floating around.

[Shoemaker]

Here is the first look at the U32 named items. There will be two forms of named items in the Against the Slave Lords content. The first is your typical named items that drop as is. The second is a group of items, one from each of the 3 dungeons, that will be flexible slots which can be upgraded with a Prefix, Suffix, Extra, and Bonus effect along with an Augment Slot. All of the named items can have 1 of 3 Set Bonuses applied to it. Further information on the upgrade items will be listed below these named items.

The ML of the heroic items is 8, the Legendary items are 28.

Heroic (ML:8)	Legendary (ML:28) isn't legendary 31+?

Add in BOLD GREEN remove in ITALIC RED.

[Ebondevil]

Add in BOLD GREEN remove in ITALIC RED.

If Legendary were ML 31 no one would be able to use them when the level cap is 30...

[ThomasHunter]

Add in BOLD GREEN remove in ITALIC RED.

The loot looks fantastic - can't wait! I think Shoemaker has some GREAT ideas as well. In fact, when I first saw the loot, the Melee Alacrity on the Legendary stuff seemed, well, sad really. Adding Insightful to it seems darn cool though! Maybe instead add Insightful Doublestrike? I have a toon with about 34% DS right now and having something to boost that would be pretty sweet!

[LordDunmore]

The title says it all. There are so many different crafting sets now, and everything goes into a green bag. PLEASE let us have something to help us organize all this crafting stuff.

I once asked if it has to go in a green bag, can we at least customize it? Green with different stripes/edges/top/bottom?

Any chance at all, or is this utter futility to ask over and over with each new crafting system?

[Mindos]

Stave of the Seer is ML 8 and has a True Seeing clickie. One use per day.

But yeah, the trinket seems overpowered. To me, the biggest issue with it though is adding another item with a spell buff at such a low level. Being able to cast the True Seeing buff spell as a spellcaster should have a point. With the exception of the uncommon 1 use/day Stave of the Seer, True Seeing was uniquely available from spellcasters at that low level previously.

A class-based game should strive to maintain the uniqueness of classes so that everyone cannot do the same things that everyone else can do regardless of choice of class(es).

There's actually a recent thread about how buff spells have become increasingly invalidated by gear (here).

Isn't the DM's Vision set from equiping both http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Mantle_of_the_Worldshaper and http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Voice_of_the_Master usable at level 5?

[Propane]

Well, that'll make gear-swapping annoying. Any chance of some kind of toggle that will change the default for that item? (I'm sort of seeing it as a clicky that will alternate between them). Being able to equip it in multiple slots is awesome, but if you want the shackles for your feet and you switch to your Cannith boots, having to open up the inventory and find the shackles and drag them to the feet (which will incidentally screw up careful placement of equipment - all my swap gear except weapons goes into the last couple of tabs; I suspect that dragging gear into occupied slots will have much the same effect as swapping weapon sets).

Alternatively: Can we finally have gear sets?

Have you tried...

Taking to two or three hotbars - set them vertically - place your normal item towards the center, then moving towards the outside, you hot swap item.

Click on hot bar and you are good to go!

This all sounds good but I think that you would get alot more people running the quests if you made it more like the old greensteel, what I mean by that Is you could run the quests without a maxed out character (say a level 25 quests) and get the stuff to make the items and use the items at lower levels (22-27) where at 22 they may seem a bit powerful but as you gain levels they become less useful where you may only use 1 or 2 items ( min 2 wpn hit point gear etc).
If you did that combined with decent experience ( not huge ) I could see people posting and running them daily like they do now with the large xp quests

[EnziteBob]

heroic items seem a bit overpowered. IMO they shouldn't have all the staking bonuses that early in the game. Just give a flat bonus.


Ring of Power:
Quality Strength +1
Command
Melee Alacrity +10% ---------- (way too much at ML 8)
Insightful Armor Piercing +3
Green Augment Slot



Symbol of the Slave Lords (Trinket):
True Seeing--------------------( make it a clicky)
Insightful Constitution +2
Dusk
Green Augment Slot
Blue Augment Slot



Legendary stuff looks fine. Maybe add a slot or two here and there.

[gwonbush]

10% melee Alacrity isn't really OP at level 8. You can get it at level 3 with Cannith Crafting or 4 with the Mithril Fullplate of Speed. And you can get 15% if you are willing to chug haste potions.

That is a ways off topic for this thread, but I hear you. I can't say what can or can't be done as far as that goes. I believe the system was never designed with the intent of having multiple inventory bags which can collect the same type of items. As such it would be no small amount of work to rework the system to try and make such a thing possible. I can't speak to how much work it would be, but I imagine it would be significant.

All that said, I'm happy to bring up the topic with the team.

[slarden]

Legendary Spinneret (ring):
Spell Lore +15
Quality Potency +32
Quality Spell Focus Mastery +2
Spell Penetration +7
Green Augment Slot

Spell lore on this should be +17 as there are already other items with that value and this is from a higher level adventure.

[MonadRebelion]

Items that can go in multiple slots is a great idea. I don't like 5 piece set bonuses. If the sets are really good, everyone ends up with the same gear. This makes the game boring. I want more build diversity and more weird gear set ups. I want to see new gear pump new life into old gear. 2 and 3 piece gear sets make more sense to me.

Also if the direction you want to keep going is to outclass previous gear every time you introduce new gear, then maybe it's time to rethink the way mythic gear works. Pursuing +4 mythics only makes sense when +4 mythic items aren't outclassed by the basic versions of the new loot.

[JOTMON]

There will be an item that drops in each dungeon and that item can be equipped in 2 possible slots (so 6 slots in all). One will be belt/necklace (chain), one will be bracer/feet (shackles), and the final will be trinket/ring (5 rings).



There will be different ingredients that will drop throughout the quests which will allow you to add on a prefix, suffix, extra, bonus, an augment slot, and a Set bonus (the Set Bonus will be crafted onto the named items as well, each item can only count for 1 of the sets).


Here are the effects possible for each slot:


Prefix: Attributes, Fortification, Sheltering, False Life, Wizardry
Suffix: Guards, Resistance, Accuracy, Deadly, Deception, Seeker, Armor Piercing, Spell Lores, Spell Powers
Extra: Skills, Spell Pen, Spell Focus, Vertigo, Stunning, Shatter, Tendon Slice
Extra 2: Quality Attributes, Quality Fort, Quality MRR, Quality PRR, Quality Skills




And here are the 3 possible sets:


Slave Lord's Might –
3 pieces – +1 Artifact Bonus to Melee Power/Ranged Power (+2 legendary), +1 Artifact bonus to Deadly (+2 Legendary)
5 pieces - +1 Artifact bonus to Strength and Dexterity (+2 Legendary), +2 Artifact Bonus to Melee Power/Ranged Power (+4 Legendary), +2 Artifact bonus to Deadly (+4 Legendary)


Slave Lord's Sorcery-
3 pieces - +2 Artifact Bonus to Spell Power (+5 Legendary), +1 Artifact bonus to Spell Focus Mastery (+2 Legendary)
5 pieces - +1 Artifact bonus to Int/Wis/Cha (+2 Legendary), +5 Artifact Bonus to Spell Power (+10 Legendary), +2 Artifact bonus to Spell Focus Mastery (+4 Legendary)


Slave's Endurance-
3 pieces - +1 Artifact bonus to MRR/PRR (+2 Legendary), +1 Artifact Bonus to Resistance (+2 Legendary), +1 Artifact Spell Saves (+2 Legendary)
5 pieces - +1 Artifact Bonus to Con (+2 Legendary), +2 Artifact bonus to MRR/PRR (+4 Legendary), +2 Artifact Bonus to Resistance (+4 Legendary), +2 Artifact Spell Saves (+4 Legendary)

aren't all the guildship amenity bonuses artifact bonuses?..
does this mean these will not stack with guildship bonuses?
...cause that would really suck to got to all the trouble of a set bonus and not stack with easy peasy guildship buffs....
