I'm surprised it took this long for something like this  to appear.
*golf clap*

Thanks for your input, and for any others that feel like sharing anything they might have to contribute - plz dont be put off by one nasty post. 

I realise most of you are jaded with a game this old and bug ridden, and helping newbies isnt top of your lists when Turbine is pissing in your faces constantly; I get it, and I appreciate those who do offer aid.

The list is amazing and I'm trying to make it not just for me but for anyone new to the game that might utilize this.

I'm just looking to shake the tree for all the fruit I can get from it - you guys know this game better then most, so your the best to get it from.

I think the only thing missing is if I can get more info on groups of enchants (cannith crafting)/gems that you run on specific gear, like rings when TR'ing or epic TR'ing.

Think of it this way if your rolling your eyes at my efforts- if new players come and stay playing DDO because threads like this make it easier for them rather than harder, Turbine might make enough cash to either put more team members on the project or make it a viable product to sell to someone else that might take better care of it; I might be wrong about it, but if I'm right...

Ah crap, they finally took the time to change this (I haven't played in a while)?  IMO it's the only thing that made leveling crafting tolerable.  Too bad for the new folks.

Yeah, that's because, unfortunately, new DDO players are as rare as unicorn farts.  Ones who actually take the time  to learn something?  Even rarer.

ring or clothing of good luck+2, masterful and alchemical save ritual:

+2 luck save, +1 competence save and +2 luck skills. ML:7, bta, as good as any ml 9 raid gear, if not better. If you happen to have old colorless slotted bta ring, even better tho thats gonna be ml 9.

spell lore, tho its only useful if ur crafter is in the 130s

This is starting to sound suspiciously like Turbine did something right...  I call shenanigans!

Bullshit.  GFY... and your mom.

I share the surprise. I was a little disappointed though.

But I won't double-down on it. I'm feeling warm fuzzies over the amazing odds you've beaten.


Fail wrote on Apr 2^nd, 2015 at 2:13pm:

And this is great, too. It made me feel even more warm fuzzies. Just don't get shocked if someone calls you on a phrase that means one thing when you read it quickly, and another thing entirely if you pay more attention to it.

So, I apologize for taking it as an underhanded insult. You're absolutely fucking right that veterans need to show newbs some patience and generosity, and hand out useful advice. If we don't, we're helping to finish off this dying game that much sooner.

I am not going to hug it out, though.

And I understand where this idea comes from. I understand why you think it makes sense. It does make sense, just not when applied to Turbine. I'm not rolling my eyes. I remember when I thought, reasonably, pretty much the same thing. But Turbine is an abusive company. Their strategy is not secret. Any one of us who has been around can give you enough repeated examples that it isn't just a subjective opinion anymore. Especially when those examples involve direct quotes from Turbine management.

And if that isn't enough, there's still Fernando.

Sorry the sound quality is shit. That's him, telling us how it's not only unimportant what we think, like, or want, but that it's important to ignore us.

Turbine is never going to put more money into DDO. They will happily take your cash and put it into designing a phone app.

And you know what? Their business model still brings in cash. If Turbine disappoints us, we react ... well, exactly as you say.

I regret not having every Displace on quarterstaff.
Maybe small thing, but 2 mins instead 1 : 36 on some builds is reason good enough.
Always seems like less lag from weapon clickies.

i kinda go nuts but.  every oother lv i have bound to account about everything.. works great for trap monkey stuff. now a days i don't worry about stuff till lv 7 9 or 12.  then 18 20. mostly house C crafted

Obscenity and most of the fun affixes that were added in U14 were removed by Feather of Sun during the Ghostbaning of loot.

Good point. Qstaff clicky casting level rises with your toon's.


OldCoaly wrote on Apr 3^rd, 2015 at 5:23pm:

True. I suspect it will return. Searing dropped for me on Lamannia. I think they're trying to slowly reintroduce the good stuff into the wild.


Fail wrote on Apr 3^rd, 2015 at 5:26pm:

Never seen a displacement clicky cancel out a stone skin. I have seen obsolescence cancel out stone skin....

I've gotten way more PMs about lowering the ML of the heroic cannith challenge items to level 0 than I can be bothered to reply to, so I'll just put it out here: make the item tier 3 (so it has crafing potential on it)and disjunct it. You'll have to do it every time you log on, but it works like a charm. Greataxe of fire from level 1 is lots of fun.

I don't believe it works on the epic versions since those get augment slots, not crafting potential.
