Gingerspyce's Week in Videos: Best of 2016 and more!

[Vooduspyce]

I wanted to take a moment to share again some of my most successful and useful videos of 2016. Some came highly requested like the new Cannith crafting tutorial and others I feel are just great resources for those that are newer to DDO. So here's a few videos from 2016 that I'm particularly fond of and I feel are really helpful for those who are new to these topics...


Cannith Crafting

The first Cannith Crafting video I did was my most watched video of all time. A couple months ago I made a new tutorial for the updated Cannith Crafting system. This video is designed for people that know nothing about Cannith Crafting or even if you've used the old system but not yet tackled the new one. Here I start from the basics and talk about a variety of topics from acquiring supplies, an overview of the different crafting stations, how to deconstruct and prepare an item for crafting, as well as strategies for lower and top end leveling and how to use the new Cannith Crafting planner. So if you've been mystified by or avoided Cannith crafting for any reason, now is a great time to learn this new and very powerful crafting system.




Epic Destinies and Twists of Fate

The epic destiny and twist of fate system can be confusing to new players, as it was for me and many other when it first came out in 2012. This video is designed for new players and people that are new to epic destinies. I go over many topics including how twists of fate work, how to acquire fate points, strategies and considerations for leveling destinies and a little on epic reincarnating and epic past lives as they relate to all of this. If you're new to epic destinies, check out Gingerspyce's Beginner's Guide to Epic Destinies and Twists of Fate!


Introduction to Warlock

Warlock is our newest class. While they fall under the caster umbrella, they play very different than traditional casters and can be built to fit a variety of playstyles. How to Choose Your Warlock for Beginners is designed for people that have no experience with or are very new to warlock, and was my most viewed video of 2016! In the video I cover what a pact is, briefly discuss differences among the enhancement trees, highlight some specific enhancements, discuss and demonstrate the differences between blasting and bursting and the different blast shape stances like cone blast and chain blast and offer tips and advice for warlock newbies!


If you enjoyed any of these videos, check out the How To section of my channel, which is filled with tutorials of all kinds. While I try to include lots of tips and advice in all my videos, the "How To" playlist is specifically for guides and tutorials.


In other video news, Northwynd has just entered epic levels. You can get caught up with the series at Northwynd: The Druid True First Life Series.


And finally, after a long time of requests, I've started live streaming at last! I'm still very new to live streaming and for now I am doing it through my Youtube channel. You can watch my first 3 livestreams on my channel here and I will be live streaming our Friday Night Mark of Deathfest on Sarlona tonight at 9pm EST!


Thank you so much for a great 2016. I appreciate all the great comments and I've had a lot of fun meeting some of you in game and now in the live stream chat too! I am looking forward to what awaits us in 2017... expansion? ...kobold playable race? ...Ravenloft? The new year holds a lot of potentially exciting developments for us and there will be lots of new fun videos along the way!


Much love,
Gingerspyce of Sarlona
