The most effective way I found to level up the cannith crafting skill was by using the item deconstruction machine that is in crafting hall. Which requires you to buy dissolvers from the vender person on north and south side of the crafting hall. Then select the dissolve shard on every item I would find until I had 50,000 cannith essences, which took forever but in the long run it saved a ton of ddo points and time.
Once I got the 50k cannith essences I went to the DDO store and got one Major Crafting Experience Elixir, then I got a lot of the +35% Crafting Success Booster X25. Once I got the supply’s ready I went to the Crafting Device – Bound Shards. The first things you can select is the MINIMUM LEVEL 1-34 ITEM it’s labeled as. I would select the one with the lowest % chance of completing. The logic behind this is because the lower the % chance of making the item the more experience you get from it once you succeed. With the 35% success booster that makes it a 36% so you get the most experience possible with using the least amount of cannith essences. Once I was successful I would step away from the machine and exit it then reselect it again. That way it refreshed the machine to your level then start again by selecting the lowest % possible and attempt until you succeed then exit and repeat. I did this process until I got the level 34 to where I had a good chance of doing it without a booster, at that point you can make everything possible.
Now in search section type intel and there it shows you all the intelligence shards you can make. Then do str and shows all the strength shards. Now you can make the recipes for items but it requires 3 things.
#1 is Collectables and here’s a guide to find the ones you are after. The best place to find collectables is https://ddowiki.com/page/Collectable...32collectables
#2 is Mark of Cannith which you need to have 50 favor from house Cannith. Once you got the favor get on the platform and have it float you up to the patron, then buy 100 of the Mark of Cannith from his vendor. Now you can put the extra slot on any crafted item.
#3 is the Purified Ebberon Dragonshard Fragments. For the extra slot. You need to complete a saga for which ever area and get a +1 - +3 skill tome or if you got some spare stat tomes then travel back to the crafting hall and go to the vendor on the north or south side of the hall. Talk to them and select the I would like to trade essence. Now drag the skill or stat tome in the window and trade.
Now that you can make the required shards for the equipment you need to find ordinary equipment you get in chests and find ones with a blue or yellow augment in them. Once you have the equipment go to the Item deconstruction machine. Put the equipment in the slot and select Disjunction shard, which requires a Dust of Disjunction from the vendor. Then Head to the Crafting Device - Bound Items machine. Put the equipment item in the slot and drag a Minimum Level 15 Shard and that makes the equipment a level 15 item. Select the Mark of cannith so it adds the extra slot. Now the item should have Prefix Suffix Extra and augment. Ok now you just drag in the desired Shards to add the effects onto the item and then you completed the equipment.
