A Handy List of Items To Note...

[Stoner81]

I've seen a few folks say about crafting items before the update goes live so I thought it would be good if we had a thread where folks could make suggestions/ideas for the sort of things that people may want to craft now before they no longer can. So I will start with the only one that I can think of right now:

BTA Melee Alacrity Trinket w/Masterful (ML1)
BTA Heavy Fort w/Masterful (ML7)
BTA Screaming of Bleed weapons w/Masterful (ML1)
BTA Holy of Bleed w/Masterful (ML3 I think)

Hopefully other join in and I can add suggestions to this post to save people trekking through page after page of discussion.

+4 and +6 Int MC BTA rings
BTA Ring/Bracers/Boots lvls 1-3 many combos of MA, FF, Mod Fort
BTA Wounding of Puncturing Rapier/Hvy Repeater
BTA Improved Shattermantle QStaff/Hvy Repeater
BTA Improved Shattermantle Khopesh of Crippling

Planning on a couple BTA Ghost Touch of Greater Incoporeal Bane something or others.

Not sure what I would put on the 2 BTA Grt Xbows I have. May do a WoP and a Imp Cursespewing of Imp Destruction (which would be nice/niche on a BTA HRXbow too)

[Feralthyrtiaq]

On a side note I am excited to see what I can fit onto the half dozen or so Colorless+Yellow slotted accessories I have collected (not to mention the dozen or more Green slotted pieces I have hoarded up.

Hope to consolidate A LOT of gear I have stored and used over the years with shiny new CC stats.

ML2 (possibly ML3, can't quite remember) Screaming of Bleeding for you, all your alts and all your guildies.

Especially when taken on a crossbow or bow, with access to conjured bolts or AA abilities to keep your enhancement bonus up... this really is the gift that keeps on giving (as is W of P). Sometimes even in 20>25 Epic quests, this still is my artificer's go-to weapon, in that it probably takes the same number of shots to kill the target when its getting 'immune' to some effects on an objectively better weapon - the S o B does do less damage per shot, but if the target still dies in the same number of volleys then it doesn't really matter to me if it took an extra bolt or two to do it. As long as I'm not seeing 'immune' scrolling up the screen, that just makes me twitch...

I even have found S of B more effective than a Lit2 vs a surprising number of enemies (especially Gnolls & Hyenas, which are the first enemy you encounter in large numbers as soon as you're high enough level to get the Lit2 out the bank, grr - both tend to be lightning resistant if not outright immune, and hyenas are neutral on top of that, blast them!)

A Silver Ghost Touch of Pure Good can be pretty **** effective throughout the Heroic game too.

Holy Silver of Pure Good is also fantastic against a wide variety of mobs but if you want to focus a bit, Holy Silver of Outsider Bane is a great option, at least until the devs sort out the DR-breaking problems of current loot.

Adamantine Screaming Maul of Construct Bane also dead handy to have knocking around.

And don't forget your everbright ooze/rust beaters



(ok I think you can actually get almost all of that in the new cannith in some fashion, but it'll be cheaper in current, and especially for arties and rangers and anyone else who gets automatic enhancement bonuses from somewhere, its important to note that you can't make ML0 stuff any more, so you have to factor in at least a ML1 shard)

These are ML1 w/Masterful

Mobile half plate / hero plate. Unless they added mobility on later build and I just didn't see it.

I have most of these but aren't ml 1 bta lacerating + festival frost bettre than screaming bleed? And the bta <prefix> lacerating with festival frost beat holy bleed I think. Don't forget mobile/alacrity for level 3+ Also lore trinkets and mobile lore trinkets.

I already had invulnerability armor made -didn't bother checking if that will still exist in new cc and what the ml will be.

no longer dropping - but still much still floating around.

Mobility will only go onto non-metallic armors.

They probably are but getting hold of them is difficult at best.

I guess Deathblock did not
make it onto the new crafting list?
It is ML 5 now--maybe a robe/outfit with Deathblock of Invulnerability and masterful BTA ML 8 or Deathblock on a robe with blue slot for heavy fort ML 8

it did make it.... s.i.c.

easier to just slot in a yellow slot for deathblock. (level 12)

• Deathblock is now live. Non-scaling - Suffix, and can be slotted into light/medium/heavy armor, clothing docent, and off hand weapon/shield. Bound: level 1, 10 essences 15 amber vials, and 5 vials of pure water; Unbound: level 150, 300 essences, 2 amber vials, 10 vials of pure water, 2 pale creepers, 2 Purified Eberron Dragonshard Fragments.

Doh, I didn't realize that. I actually use a mobile ring or boots of melee alacrity. Was thinking it would be nice on a half plate though for best dodge cap/ prr.

EDIT: leaving below in for continuity, but disregard it based on my being far too pessimistic, apparently, see here





Worth reminding folk that Cannith Crafting is currently the only way in game to get DR breakers that require more than a specific material (without finding exactly the right named item, anyway, which you may not be able to do or use at your level, depending on the item).

A silver, adamantine or flametouched blank combined with the right damaging or other effect shard like Metalline (cannith effect) flametouched (weapon blank) of (anything-you-like) can be your best friend.

Despite the low per-hit damage output, any damage is better than zero damage and some of these new bosses with PRR are just awful when they've got DR too (honestly, incoming damage really ought to resolve in order of DR>PRR, not PRR>DR, and right now for that blasted Erinyes at least it appears to be the wrong way around).

It's worth reminding folk of this because unless Turbine manage to fix DR in time for the Cannith release, we will not have that capability at all once they make the switch until they do get the fix in, which we know they're aware of and working on.

Unless anyone happens to know that Turbine's goal of fixing it alongside new Cannith Crafting is actually definitely happening? Please provide a source, because till I hear them say that fix is for sure actually in, I have to work on the assumption that they won't be able to. I haven't seen such a statement whilst camping on the Dev tracker

I used to add mobility to my
melee alacrity trinket

I tested on lama and the new alignment recipes did flag the correct damage types.
Also, don't forget you can get flametouched from the rusty nail in Chronoscope.

From the DDO store for a small price: (the Blessed part means it is Good aligned - and breaks DR/GOOD plus the Silver/Cold Iron DR)
