Update 7 Named Item thread

[Thriand]

You are right.

I would much rather have an Epic marlith chain and a Epic Dusk heart over a Bloodstone.

The marlith chain isn't really an option for WF or evasion characters, but even in the cases where it is an option I would rather use the litany in conjunction with the marlith chain than use the epic dusk heart, but unfortunately that brings us back to the original point that the new trinket really isn't overpowered considering that you have to give up the litany or bloodstone to make use of it.

btw, we saw the charged gaunlets and the envenomed cloak on the end reward list, they apparently drop from either iut or in chests.

The only punishing thing I can think of with this is that it would give newer players a false perception of how raid loot works in the game unless the developers are planning on modifying the loot tables for raids in terms of end rewards.

Nahy its necessary for the items to be relevant at that level.

Same reason it lacks a timer.

That I can agree with, but if they suddenly start doing DQ and Titan at level or Tempest Spine it would mean that they're in for a rude awakening with how many times they'll have to run that raid to get what they want.

Running this raid a few times to get an item is one thing, but having to run the DQ raid 70 times to get a torc is another entirely. If they made it every 3 rewards lists like The Tide Turns, it might make a little more sense.

How many chests are in the raid anyway?

[TiranBlade]

Has anyone determined which named items drop from the original devil's assault line now that IT's treasure table has been updated or is there anything new from that?

[Ranmaru2]

I've done 3 elite runs with no drops, but that's solo/duo. Would need more people in the quest to test better.

And that these items are bind to account rather than character (unlike most raid loot)
Strange too the Gem of Facets is BtA when the sets it serves are all BtC

Notice the new text on the items as well?
'Binds to Account on Acquire'
~~ nice they got this in there for the update

Got a Devil's Keepsake and a Supreme Shard of power from an elite run. Haven't seen any named loot yet. So far only Amrath/Shroud ingredients.

[Esserbe]

Please blitz it ten thousand times on normal for us poor non-Lamannian fools and see if that drops regular shards of power with any regularity!

As usual: no screenshots, ignore if you want. DA does not drop new named items (well, epic drops some new items just not new named items). Each difficulty has different extra treasure now. Normal = chance for ML:6 devil/demon beaters and similar stuff, Hard = chance for ML:10 devil/demon beaters and similar stuff, Elite = chance for Shroud ingredient (any type), boot ingredient (all 4), any energy cell, any shard of power, 1 astral diamond. Epic = same as elite except higher drop rates plus 5 new nice augment crystals with temporary effects (100 hours).

And no, if you are looking for specific shard of power you have much higher chance to get it in shroud.

Did an elite and an epic run, saw large ingredients, a shard of power. No named loot tho.

Now THAT sounds interesting, any chance you could tell us more about the Augment crystal effects?

Ah yes, I definitely see your point.
I was simply looking from only my perspective (on my pure Dwarf Barbarian)

I did not even think about the other possibilities lol.

How often does the new loot drop in the ftp quests?

So this constitutes a massive (though costly) buff to epic weaponry wielded by non-Paladins in general, and the eSoS in particular? Interesting.

As long as you can reliably collect them anyway. Would be nice to see some elemental effects and such start dropping in epic quests as well as some interesting things for accessory slots.

The epic gem of many facets is awesome for monks. With it, my monk could use the epic Siren's Belt, use Icy's, and get the +4 dodge, +4 Insight, +8 Armor, and +5 Protection to AC (and +2 Insight to saves). All on 3 items, none of which take away the monk ToD set slots. Not bad. Also frees up Bracers slot (don't need +8 armor bracers anymore), so Chaosgarde (for another +2 AC) or Epic Bracers of the Claw (don't know what they do, but it gets you the Greater Vulkoorim Might for +4 damage) can be worn. Add in that Epic Envenomed Cloak (+7 con is nice) for +5 Res and a Green slot, which could be +4 Nat to AC, and it's not too hard to get a Dex/Wis based monk into the upper 60s for AC (unbuffed). Into the low 80s buffed. Seems like nice stuff for monks. Helps ease the sting on no GS or Epic handwraps a little (only little, though).
