ML24 7[1d8]+14 Pierce, Magic; Poisonous 7; Befouling 4; Doubleshot +9%; Keen V; Orange Slot[Haggle +15]; Accepts Sentience; 100 Favors

Must be ML28 at least, not 24. I check it at live, it really show ML24 in barter window, need check it on real item. Anyone? 8)

[Talam]

Thanks OP, I'm at work and was wondering.

[Steelstar]

Cheap Shot follows the same ML progression as other items in the event; its pre-slotted augment is causing a lower minimum level to appear in the crafting window. When created, it has the Minimum Level listed in the recipe's description.

[Dreppo]

On the Bug Killer, is it just flavor that the same enchantment appears 4 times, or do they actually all stack? Traditionally, redundant enchantments don't stack.

[Xyfiel]

The Only Exception refers to it being old mithril I believe.

They stack.

[Fivetigers33]

None of the new ML30 weapons have legendary dice [1d6 +2] etc. Is that intentional?

Thank you, Steelstar! I updated the original post to reflect this information.

[Zites]

They stack.

LOL I'm loving the new items hilarious and at the same pretty nice gear, it's kool to know I had a hand in some of the naming NICE JOB TEAM!!!

But I still would like you all to consider giving heavy armor fighter and paladin more ac and mmr or let us have more dps like our cloth and light armor friends thanks again.

Haggle +15 is ML28, crafting windows show ML24. :P

[Systern]

on The Only Exception: Medium Armor

Is it Heavy Armor that is Mithral and doesn't give the correct PRR?

Or is it Medium Armor that doesn't get considered as Light Armor and blocks Evasion?

The Diplomancer: Light Crossbow
Literally just a Cannith light xbow with a few extra affixes no one really needs or uses...we need an actual useful function for Diplo besides making optional checks in Crucible.

Cheap Shot: Long Bow
Poison and CHA dmg :`(
Seems like it'd be possibly useful as a backup bow for non-archers, since its got Keen and DS baked in? But I dont know any builds that actually plan to use a bow switch, by L30 if not L20 you need way more feat support than just an IC:R substitute, let alone a stat-to-dmg for bows.

Lynnabel's Bug Killer: Throwing Dagger
This might actually be fun on some spider/scorpion/Scorrow-heavy quests
Monastery end boss breaker?

The Only Exception: Medium Armor
"Yeah we know, EKs still need some more help..."

And the Fey Locks rejoiced!
Wish it had Enhancement Resonance too. I know, only the RL belts are ever going to, but it does leave Sonic casters in a permanent disadvantage not having that layer to compete

[liston33]

Is there no ticket trade in this year????

[Mindos]

What does the new armor look like?

[systemshaker1941]

What is the pre-slotted augment?

Per Cordovan the Gift is code based this year.

Correct, the delivery of this year's anniversary gift is code-based, and will be launching on Thursday.

[SerPounce]

The low level versions of the bow are nice for before you have improved crit. Higher level versions don't hold up to the competition.

Light crossbow is pretty pointless unless I'm missing something. Who uses (non-repeating) light crossbows anyway?

I like the medium armor. Even if you don't get anything from the spell crit and reduced ASF, accuracy and doublestrike are nice things for an armor slot. Not going to beat out silent avenger at cap, but a decent leveling armor.

Throwing dagger is funny, but not very useful.

Sonic casting stick is a nice addition for feylocks.
