    Default Easiest to acquire Corrosion and Radiance items?

    Good day. I created a 10th level Human, GOO Warlock (Voodu build) to group with friends. Are there any, "Easy to acquire" Corrosion and Radiance items to help me level to 30? I have Ravenloft, Feywild and put in the latest code. So far I grabbed the Celestial Beacon (shield in other hand) and 5th level Feywild acid ring. I'm casual so challenges and upgrading non-epic versions is painful for me. I'd rather our party repeat the quest a few times and someone hands me the item (or vice versa). It can't be an orb or two-handed.
    For Radiance, it appears the club from Seizing the Dawn is best till 20 (after that it gets spotty)
    For Corrosion, it appear the club from Element of Chaos is best till 20 (though I'll only hold one club)

    Thanks and happy holidays

    Borderlands scepters are easy to get (for L2 or L20).
    Barovian scepter (L10) is easy to get - just ask the wilderness weapon dude.

    If you have a character with approximately 100 levels of Cannith Crafting, you can make yourself an acid scepter. The scepter from Ravenloft is easy to get but offers potency and insightful potency so carry it in one hand and the acid scepter in the other hand. If you can find a source of universal spell power, even better.

    I usually put old items in the deconstructing device and get new ones out the bound items device... that usually is the easiest way.
    Usually ones with two augment slots.
    If you get a red and clear you can put a spellpower and spellsight in it...to add to your crafted effects.

    All good suggestions. Thanks. As a casual player, unfortunately crafting has evaded me. 70% of the time I'll probably use a random loot item in combo with named (eg club and ring). I used the Barovian for 2 levels until I switched to shield build at 12. Once I'm in the 27-30 range there appears to be a lot available.

    Some more ideas:

    For acid: Burnscar Sash from Sunrise

    For acid: Fusible Sceptre of Corrosion from An Element of Chaos

    For radiance: Celestial Beacon from White Plume Mountain

    For radiance: Malleable Sceptre of Radiance from Seizing the Dawn

    For more spell power to everything: Pansophic Circlet from Memoirs of an Illusory Larceney

    When you reach Level 20, you can find Acid and Radiance items from the Borderlands weapon trader.

    When you reach Level 29, you can acquire the Epic versions of the items linked above.

    Rock Boots from Cannith Challenges are another option for Acid spell power. They come in many variants.

    This will not help now but in about two months, you can run the Anniversary Party for Forum Post clubs. They come in Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire, Necrotic, and Sonic versions at Level 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30. If you enjoy casters and stock up, they will serve you for years to come.

    Anyway, hopefully something there helps.

    Go to the Auction House and search "Corrosion Acid" and then "Radiance Radiant". You're looking for one-hand weapons (or, possibly, a ring). Don't worry about "non-proficient" weapons, you're (usually) not going to be swinging them, just holding them, but they have to be "one handed" so you can hold two of them, so no quarterstaves/great weapons/bows/etc.

    Don't over-pay (some asking prices are just absurd).

    To compare what you're finding to the max possible (which is extremely rare in droploot), check out this table: https://ddowiki.com/page/Cannith_Crafting/table_3b
    You're looking at "Spellpower" and "Lore (one)" - or values of 77 and 11 @ ML 10. (If you can find something in the high 60's and 9+, you're doing great.)

    (If you wait for the Anniversary event (early Feb?), it's easy to farm up one or more of these: https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Caustic_Forum_Post. (Sadly, they don't come in Radiance flavor.) )

    Don't limit yourself to weapons either shields are nice when you have ways to reduce Arcane spell failure.

    Right now, as a L10 right out of the box, you're probably(?) not looking for "the best", you're just looking for "good enough", as Warlocks are plenty powerful. However, as L10, "insightful" becomes a consideration, so factor that in as well.

    Yeah, I was going to mention that, but 1) not all 'locks are built for shields, and 2) when you get into shields you start to complicate the tetris factor. Droploot shields don't come with Spell Lore (+crit %), only Spell Power (as a prefix), so then you have to find some other way to get your Lore, and droploot Rings* are your only options there.*

    (* Gloves have Universal Power (Potency), which is always lower by about 40% or so. Orbs work fine, same as any "weapon" in this case.

    You could also Cannith Craft a trinket, but not sure that's the sort of "acquiring" the OP is asking about.)


    If(!) you can fit it together, it works just as well - but it becomes more complicated to keep track of and upgrade.
