New: The following additional Cannith Crafted items are now available (Prompted by DwarvemHack)
---Robe (Cloth Armor)
---Light Armor
---Medium Armor
---Heavy Armor

Those categories are relevant to a character, like if they need light armor for evasion or cloth to be centered, but they aren't the categories used by cannith crafting. Armor in terms of cannith crafting is Metal, Leather, Cloth, or Docent. Blueshine, for example, only goes on metal armor, but that could be any weight: Chain, Scale, Plate, etc...

I could see a wizard wanting to craft Twlight (-10% arcane spell failure) onto a robe, which isn't allowed, but that's enforceable with the categories you have. Blueshine, otoh, I don't see anyone crafting ever.

Was wondering if you could integrate a system where you can select different gear sets for different levels?

Also, you need a panel to display a summary of the feats by level.

And if you could make a summary overview that displays all your stats, skills, feats, etc. - similar to the DDO Builder Lite - that would be really helpful. It would make it easy to see everything laid out in a list.

Multiple gear sets are already supported, but they are all for level 20+ gear. Version 2 will support gear for any level, but that's about a year away at the moment.

Also, you need a panel to display a summary of the feats by level.

Available already in the Forum Export, the "Consolidated Feats" option.

And if you could make a summary overview that displays all your stats, skills, feats, etc. - similar to the DDO Builder Lite - that would be really helpful. It would make it easy to see everything laid out in a list.

I will add this to my list of things to do. Not sure when I will get around to it though.

Why can't I see the Inquisitive enhancement tree in the enhancement tree option?

Or Harper Agent for that matter...

Thank you. Its good to see it being used. Things become much easier with a little exposure.

The issue you had with the enhancements is one of the most common problems I see people asking for help on as well.
I added a big bold section of text into the "How To guide" for this very reason, its worth a read

Mostly just fixes in this one.

New: "Temporary" bonus type items are no longer affected by percentage bonuses (such as Epic Defensive Fighting HP bonus)

New: "Warlock: Shining Through" effects and stance added
Fix: Most battle axes were erroneously set as compatible with main hand weapon only and can now be equipped in the off hand slot (Reported by Gerkenstein)
Fix: "Nature's Protector: Force of Nature" updated to note that Druidic Oath is no longer broken by using Metal Weapons/Srmor/Shields (Reported by LittleTealeaf)

Just used this the other day to plan out some builds and it was fantastic, thanks!

I did have one thought that is a total enhancement or maybe even a different program. I, like many others I think, suffer from "do I already have item X" syndrome... Since you have most of the level 20+ items already listed, I was wondering if those formats could be used to power a gear tracker application or module? I was even thinking of a small app that would read the .item files it could even possibly spit out a spreadsheet as a simple starting point? Would that be something that would be ok to use the .item files for? With full credit given to you as the creator of course.

This is something that is coming but will be with version 2 of the builder, which will support characters at any level and gear at all levels, A character banking app will be part of that.
No ETA as of yet, as I am short on dev time at the moment.

That is great to hear! I understand the time difficulty and there's obviously been a lot of hours invested in the app already. Thank you again for providing it to the community!

Link to the release in my siganture

[Hawkwier]

Thanks for creating this planner. It's really comprehensive.

Initially I found it quite difficult to get into, but well worth the effort once I got the hang of it.

Love the way you can play around with items and effects in one window and see the results in the breakdown.

Couple of points of feedback if I may....

1..Legendary Celestial Topaz ring has Nearly Finished as giving insightful +10, but wiki has it at flat +21.
2. Legendary Wildcard is giving additional 15 enhancement bonus to AC on top of its 25 armor bonus. But apparently, according to forum feedback the enhancement bonus is already included in the 25 armor bonus (and that matches in game numbers).

Hope these are helpful.

Many thanks again for an excellent tool.

I will get these fixed for the next release.

In the interim, I managed to fix the topaz issue by editing the items and augments files.

I'll leave the enhancement issue to your grater expertise.

Devs should be paying you for this BTW - I've had more fun with it in the past couple of weeks than with their bloody game these past few months!

All I need now to bring my creations to life is LR20s back in the store... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Igor, pull the lever!

And they'll make more TP from me on that than they will from stupid mounts, that's for sure.

Is there a way to reset the UI? It decided to pretty much explode on me

You can delete the DDOBuilder.ini file from the same directory as the application. This will reset the layout.
You may also lose your most recently used file list.
