Cannith Craftiing extra slot issue

[ccd1977]

I was able to put Radiance and Light lore on a sceptre but the extra cannith crafting slot is not taking insightful radiance?

It ready to take it but when I put the sceptre to craft it the insightful shard option does not show. Its all blank.

What am I doing wrong?

Unfortunately Insightful spellpower is not supported by weapons

Weapon extra slot supports

Ability Damaging
(Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma)
Insightful Balance
(except Two-handed melee weapon)
Insightful Assassinate
Insightful Deadly
Insightful Seeker
Insightful Shatter
Insightful Stunning
Insightful Tendon Slice
Insightful Vertigo
Vampirism

nothing.
the best way to find what can go in an item ( items are restricted to particular shards even extra slots)
create the blank item then add the level you want the item to be .
replace the item in the assembly device ( shield device)
and it will list all available suffix and prefix enhancements that can be placed into that item.
you can sort this list but adding a search term such as prefix or insightful ( some insightful shards can go in regular prefix and suffix slots)
to find extra slot item you need to add the mark ( Favor give access to Vender House C to purchase them 10% chance to craft and crafting xp bonus for PP)and open up the extra slot on the item.
then you can search (Extra) and all the extra enhancements can be seen. ( only the ones that can be used in this item)

dont make the mistake of thinking because I find it together in regular dropped items they can be added in crafting.


you can open the device and search prefix and suffix and extra with out in item in it to list all shards craftable

Bad planning.

There are player-coded crafting planner programs you can download, search the forums.

Or, to do it by hand, use these tables:
o https://ddowiki.com/page/Cannith_Cra...ts_and_recipes

Specifically, this one shows what effects can be put on a "weapon"*
o https://ddowiki.com/page/Cannith_Cra...table_1b#Melee

(* For sorcerers, I would have chosen a heavy mace or morning star, since that's a more effective "weapon" than a scepter (and still a "simple weapon"). A caster stick is a caster stick when casting, but there are times when you want to knock some skullz.

Wizards and Druids have a more limited spectrum of weapons to choose from, and a "club" (inc. scepters) or a dagger are about the same - dealer's choice there.

You could also use a Throwing Dagger/etc., so that's pre-equipped for targeting levers. Very handy for Warlocks, among others.

Gishes, of course, may want more serious weapons, but they are built to go outside "simple weapons".)

Thank you for this. It was the extra slot that got me. I am a warlock so I need to find better gear.

I am a warlock so I need to find better gear.

Warlocks are a pain b/c they usually want 3 spellpowers: Radiance, Impulse, and their chosen Pact element. And altho' they're tough, they still just don't have 3 hands for 3 caster sticks.

Try to find an item that either 1) has 2 of those built in, or 2) has spellpower+lore in another gear slot, like a ring. Or just bite the bullet and ignore Lore (painful) and settle for Spellpower alone; sub-optimal, but if you don't have the tetris figured out, a reality.

Insightful helps the DPS too
