Dissapointed with the Runic System :(

[aarons6]

i got me a agapite hammer, a legend smith with gm arms lore and a +30 ash.

sat down with some dull copper and a few golden ingots and made some weapons for my new swordsman.. radiant scimitars

the result, 7m gold worth of junk

the best one that i see is.


HLA 38
HLD 38
HML 50
LUCK 95

how do i make it save a log of the weapons so i can post it?

 

[Guest]

most people just scribble them down in a list with the relevant stats.

are you using a talisman at all for blacksmithing? You can get upwards of +30% to your chance of getting good mods/increasing what you have.

 

[Setnaffa]

Talismans only effect whether you can make the weapon and your chances of making it exceptional. They have no effect on the intensity of the properties.

 

[Guest]

I just read that... I stand corrected (actually I have to stand corrected, it's these damn shorts...)

 

[imported_MaDProFF]

you can use UOA, sell agent or something that will list everything you have in a selected Bag

 

[ZippyTwitch]

Plus using an ancient hammer does not effect using a runic hammer. If you try holding the ash and double click the runic. It will use charges from the ash not the runic.

 

[aarons6]

yes and its like you have 150 skill
this lets me have a 100% chance at exceptional.

ill try the sell agent.

 

[aarons6]

ok i got it, these are the weps minus the one i told you about in the begining.

[imported_Vyrquenox]

if you are going to burn an aggy hammer making radiants, shouldn't you burn some sapphires as well and get the extra mod for twinkling scimitar? Or am I confused.

 

[Setnaffa]

You are not confused. You are spot on. The Twinkling Scimitar recipe requires a Dark Sapphire. It's basically a Radiant Scimitar with an extra DCI 6% that will stack up to DCI 15% if you roll some DCI with a runic. If you are going to make Radiant, invest in some Dark Sapphires and make Twinkling Scimitars.

 

[Guest]

And might as well make a Heavy ornate axe for the extra mod too. Gotta love those gems!
I gotta get the recipe tho.

The exact same is said of the ASH but talismans don't have charges and ASH do.

[/ QUOTE ]ASH's also effect your chance to enhance an item and, to a smaller degree, your chance to repair an item. A +15 ASH has the same effect when making a Plate Tunic as wearing a 30/30 talisman, so ASH's can help alot more, though they do get used up. So I'd have to say the exact same cannot be said of an ASH as I said of a Talisman.

I want to clarify. The tinkling will add 6dci to the 15dci that you might roll. So you can have 21dci max (I assume). I made some twinks with 19dci so far this weekend.

[/ QUOTE ]Are you certain on that? I've made hundreds of Twinkling Scimitars and I've never gone over DCI 15%. You might want to go back and check on that.

 

[Guest]

I'll double check when I go home, but I see some twinks at luna too. Perhaps fixed with the change?

 

[Guest]

Confirmed. I have two twinks with 19dci. Whoo hoo, it stacks!
Unfortunately, I have made NOT ONE ssi.

 

[Setnaffa]

Wow! They must have made a change with the last publish! Hah! I need to make some more weapons....

You are 100% correct that they have added bonuses for enhancing items, but they make no difference that a tailsman cannot when crafting items. They take charges to add a chance to get exceptional items. Talismans do not take a charge to get a chance of capping out with an exceptional item. The person in question was crafting items not enhancing them, so I stand by what I said that in that case the tailsman added the exact same effect an ASH would except the ASH takes a charge and the talisman does not.

 

[Basara]

And you would still be wrong.

A Talisman can be AT BEST the equivalent to a +15 ASH (+30%/+30% talisman), and I've yet to personally see a talisman better than +28%/+28%.

There are a number of things you CANNOT craft 100% exceptional with the best talisman, without an ASH as well.
Plate Arms, Plate Legs, Plate Tunic
All of the SE plate types (except the Jingasa)(and remember that these have mage armor automatically when exceptional),
Dragon Barding Deeds (20% damage reduction at exceptional vs. 10%, and you lose about 250 ingots when you smelt a deed)
All of the ML weapons (normal and recipe versions)

Most of these can be crafted 100% Exceptional using a high end talisman AND a +15 ASH, with a few Samurai Empire things even requiring either a +30 ASH and a Talisman, or a +60 ASH by itself. (several SE Plate pieces, Chaos &amp; Order Shields, Tessen, Lajatang)
