Being a newcomer to DDO, and not having had the chance to utilize  dupes or hacks,  I am at the mercy of playing the game as is.

I have one main character, now in the mid epic levels who is also grinding (slowly) out cannith crafting and has had a lot of experience in cannith challenges (few mats in bank).  I grow bored and want to try others, so:

This is my question:

To those of you who run twink multiple toons around, can you list the items you have on hand to give to twinks in general and possibly a list of items given to caster / melee twinks separately from cannith crafting or easy to grind quest rewards?

That means, no greensteel (no support for me towards any kind of raiding), no TF, just cannith crafting and maybe cannith challenge gear.

I've seen a few posts here and there that say someone enchants this with that to level, but I've never seen a concise list in one spot of what items to go for, so for myself and others new to the game, I'd like to have one.

Cannith Crafted items, especially for the lower levels, are so easy to make that I often find myself tossing them at TR and remaking. You'll want Marks of House Cannith.

Personally, I mostly focus on weapons. A holy with no other enchantments and Masterful Craftsmanship is ML1 and good for quite a while.

I generally only bother with +skill and +stat items, and not until I can get to +4. +4 stat then +6. Skill items, whatever the highest I can use for a few levels. A +75% fortification item doesn't hurt, either(ML3 with masterful).

The early levels go by damn quick and you won't need much else. You can make all kinds of twink gear, but its a lot of work for something you might only use for a few hours.

I know you said not to mention it, but green steel is the ultimate twink, absurdly great items at low MLs. Some GS is good to 28. I don't know what you mean by "no support" all you need is the adventure pack. The flaggers can be soloed and the raid gets pugged all the damn time. I've literally never NOT been on a PUG shroud, with the possible exception of that time I tagged along with another guild on their raid night, and even then I joined a public LFM.

Starkjade pretty much nailed it, but I'll toss my hat in the ring for what it's worth:

- Sharn Syndicate "Nicked" items. Pretty good stuff for ML:2
- Shan-to-Kor: Some good items that are no ML, like    Berserker Bracers, Gatewarden's Girdle, and the Shadow Star shuriken. Trapblast Goggles +4 Reflex no ML is gold.
- 3-Barrel Cove: Scoundrel's Items are all up-stepped damage dice + Anarchic and low ML. The Scorched Handwraps are great at their level, and the Greatsword is awesome for Necro I as a Wight-beater.
- Phiarlan Carnival: Utility Vest is a must have on all my trappers. Antique Greataxe is a passable substitute for Carnifex at the same ML, and becomes a "Go To" DR breaker when made Epic.
- Relic of a Sovereign Past: Nightforge items. Most are ML: 8 or so. All are adamantine, and most have slots now as well. Every one of my toons has a Nightforge Gorget (100% Fort + Yellow Slot) it's ML: 9, if memory serves. Warning: You'll need to run the optional to gather Adamantine ore, and I believe there's only 15 per instance. Best to solo, cuz sharing sucks.
- Lordsmarch Chain: The set items from Wrath of Sora Kell: Manya's Fists, Teraza's Sight, and Katra's Wit.

- Diplomatic Impunity: Katra's Wit Ring. Also the Medusa Shield and Wand of Blasting, if you're into it.
- Framework, from Lordsmarch first chain: Snakeskin Vest for trappers, some of my toons use it right up to Lvl 20. Hard to beat +10 Search and Spot Plus Poison Resist on one ML:8 slot. Teraza's Sight tiara drops in the "end" chests.
- Also from Lordsmarch: Blade of Fury Greatsword, can be upgraded in different flavours and will also "break down" into a pair of equally tasty short words for your Bard/ Ninja/ Assassin.
- Still with the Lordsmarch: Gorgon Armour/ Docent. +4 CON and Earthen Guard (casts Stoneskin on you sometimes when hit) Decent heavy-armour for ML:8 and a great docent for an Arty dog. Manya's Fist gauntlets drop in the end chest.
- Lastly with the Lordsmarch: Stonedust Wraps and Rocksplitter heavy Pick. Upgradeable similar to Blade of Fury, and with the Vampiric upgrade, can make your Monk nigh-unkillable. Rocksplitter is one of a precious few named Heavy Picks in DDO as well.

After this, you're in Green Steel Country, and that's been covered above.

cannith crafted:

planeforged plate armor of invulnerability w/ masterful craftsmanship (ML2)

bta goggles of secret door detection

bta ring of greater false life w/masterful (ML7?)

Well, you need to run the flagging quests for the stones, all 5 makes 1 signet stone, which is required for a blank.. unless you can find someone to craft a blank for you...

otherwise, you need to run the raid for mats + shards..

It's a pity you missed out on Crude Vials.

Regarding GS displacement clicky:
My favorite for all rounded use during TRs:
Cloak - T1 fire 10hp +dex skills.  T2 : Air +50sp +4 cha skills. T3 Smoke +100sp +6 int skills

A big thing to keep in mind is that Stat, rage and haste potions have no minimum level. House P buffs are also pretty nifty for their half hour duration.

GS blanks aren't hard to get, probably some on plat auction house. They are not btc until u put T1 on them.

Also if possible ioun stones are cool too. +6 to your main stat at lvl 5, espec if you have Masters gift slotted somewhere.

Bleeding of screaming weapons with MC are ml1
Holy of undead bane maul/hammers are ml6
Maelstrom for low level content, Carnifex till SoS if THF
Buy red aug weapons and slot them with meteoric rubies for extra fun

Clickies have absolutely nothing to do with player level (except for people with artificer levels).  An item with a clicky will display the caster level it is cast at.  The duration of the spell is directly related to that caster level.

The reasons artificers are an exception is their Wondrous Items ability.

The caster level of a GS item has nothing to do with what slot it's equipped on.  The reason you get different answers from all of us is because we've all built gear up over the years and different opinions.

Ok.
This thread is starting to make things a ton clearer.

I swear, the hardest part of getting into DDO was everyones (in game/ddo forums) expecting everyone else to know all this stuff and its just not something anyone would or could ever figure out if it wasnt for threads like this.

Thank you all again, and if anyone else has any gems, feel free to contribute - imho this post is worth its weight in plat already.

Yes. Worth its weight.
In plat.

I totally agree.
