Question, price check, and want to buy...

[Lady Raja]

So I been reading a bit on this imbuing thingy. I think I kind of get it now, slightly...

My question is this... Is the below pieces possible to craft/imbue, and if so, how much would it cost me to have someone craft/imbue the exact pieces for me?

Ring - fc 1, fcr 2, sdi 12%, dci 15%.
Bracelet - fc 1, fcr 2, sdi 12%, dci 15%.
Leather Skirt - lmc 7%, lrc 18%, hpi 5, mi 5.
Female Lether Armor - lmc 7%, lrc 18%, hpi 5, mi 5.
Leather Sleeves - lmc 7%, lrc 18%, hpi 5, mi 5.
Leather gloves - lmc 7%, lrc 18%, hpi 5, mi 5.

Thanks!

The armor pieces is not that expensive, the 4 relic to 7 lmc is cheaper now with the new loot. I would try to find jewelry with fc 1. Also I'm not sure what the essenses will cost now, I see very few for sale

5 hpi on armor cost you 10 luminescent funghi. 12 sdi is 10 crystal shards. I never see those resources for sale, but both can be obtained by lumberjacking. Everything else is easy to get now.
If you start with plain fc1 jewelry, you will need at least ( without imbuing fails that eat them) 32 relic frags , would be 320 - 480 k gold with current prices . Jewelry has 3 mods that require relic frags, you may need some more if unlucky. I would suggest to go with 4 hpi and 10 sdi to keep resource usage reasonable.

Unless you got much confidence in you pvp abilities or only run into pk's that sell you your stuff back that suit is a little bit on the expensive side imho if you cannot get most of the needed resources by yourself.

Btw even if you dont have any imbuing skill you can go to a soulforge and bring the imbuing menu up to see for yourself what you need to imbue a certain property.

I'm glad I can make my suit myself, I don't want to count the value of my new suit and bow, fear I could not sell it for the price it costed me.

@ Klapauc - I don't pvp, or do I care if a pk wants to keep my stuff after killing me. I understand it can be expensive, but how expensive? Each piece of armor/jewelry can't be more then what, 50k a piece? 100k a piece? 150k a piece?

@ FrejaSP - So Freja... Would you like to be hired to make the six pieces of armor/jewelry for me? Of course it would all be barbed leather... And I am looking for about three sets of that suit, just in case I do get killed out in the wild... I know, kind of a hefty order... but I would obviously pay very well for your time and efforts...

On a side note... Is the suit too much for pvm? I am just getting back into the game and do not know what is really needed anymore. I am going to be Siege Blessing my Pendant of the Magi, and have a spellbook with mods on it, when I scribe up a nice one... And the suit is just going to add to what I do not have for those two items. I do know that lrc/lmc/fc/fcr/sdi is what I really want. The hpi/dci/mi would have just been a bonus if I was going to be spending the gold on a cutom suit.

Any advice anyone?

My temp is as follows:
Magery - 120
Medi - 120
Eval - 120
Resist - 120
Inscription - 100
Focus - 120
Hiding - 20

Thanks!

Dont forget the scnp mage wep with that temp.

For each piece of jewelry you need 10 crystal shards for 12 sdi . I never see them for sale, so i cannot state a price. There are 2 ways to obtain them, lumberjacking in ter mur or ratman mini champ in abyss. Both are slow and painful. If you can supply them, i could make your jewelry for around 250k per piece.

Each piece of armor needs 10 luminescent funghi for 5hpi , obtained by lumberjacking. Never see them for sale. If you can supply them and suitable blank armor pieces, its possible to imbue the armor for under 100k per piece.

 

[Lady Raja]

@ Sir Morder - Do I really need to have a scnp mage weap? I was just going to carry a spellbook with mods on it, and maybe stone my focus and have 120 parry and hold a shield in the other... Thoughts?

 

[Lady Raja]

@ Klapauc - Looks like I will be either training up lumberjacking, or going on a shopping venture...

 

[Bo Bo]

what morder is saying is that you need some sort of passive defense (wrestling, a mage weapon, anatomy + eval, or a weapon skill) otherwise you will be hit by a melee everytime. Also on your temp you have 20 hiding if you are human that is a complete waste of 20 points. Human have jack of all trades (joat) which gives the a base of 20 in every skill, you also have 120 focus and 120 med. With todays equipment that isnt needed. Here is what Bo would do, drop the hiding, drop focus to 40, drop med to 100 and add 120 wrestling. this will solve your problems. As far as your gear you are best to start out buying reg lrc suits until you get your farming done. Than you can build suits around gear you farmed up cause that gear is awesomo now.

 

[Bo Bo]

oh parry wont cut it for you without some sort of passive defense.

 

[Tjalle]

You could also swap scribe+hiding for 120 Mysticism. Rising Colossus are great for Pvmers.

Bo´s advice on starting with lesser suits is a good one until you have a base supply of stuff to make better suits with. It´s much easier to find an imbuer to take an order for you if you can supply the rare/expensive materials...

 

[Sir Morder]

If and when you do pvp, nothing less than 70 dci is a must. If you're fighting a dexxor, which you will eventually, they are more than likely going to have HLD on the wep. If you're planning on runnin 45 dci you're goin to faceplant. 70 dci is fairly easy to get to with imbuing, you're just gonna have to get the ingredients. There's always faction suits too, if you wanna go that route. Farming silver is boring but easy. In very little time you can have a full blown arty faction suit and only need a couple imbued pieces to go with it. There's plenty of options to go with, good luck with whichever you choose.

 

[Bo Bo]

if you go myst you will need focus not med, and Bo would take focus to 120 (its the eval for myst).
And Morder you are partially correct, faction artis are very easy to obtain, but near impossible to wear. They changed how you get and retain points. Its near impossible to get enough points to wear the good faction gear.

I thought 45% is the cap, how can you have 70?

 

[Petra Fyde]

I haven't the relic fragments to make this suit, but I have put on my 'molly fyde combat' vendor 2 jewels that might help
ring: sdi 5% fcr 2 fc 1
bracelet: fcr 2 fc 1

 

[Klapauc]

HLD reduces your dci by 25. With 70 dci you are still at cap after hld.

 

[Sir Morder]

HLD reduces your dci by 25. With 70 dci you are still at cap after hld.

@ Freja - this is correct. same goes for hci and hla. I wouldnt go any lower than 60 dci if you feel there is going to be pvp.

 

[Sir Morder]

And Morder you are partially correct, faction artis are very easy to obtain, but near impossible to wear. They changed how you get and retain points. Its near impossible to get enough points to wear the good faction gear.

So finally the dev's got smart and put an axe to factions It really doesnt matter if you have the resources to imbue the non-faction suits are just as nice.

 

[FrejaSP]

@ Freja - this is correct. same goes for hci and hla. I wouldnt go any lower than 60 dci if you feel there is going to be pvp.

Now I begin to understand why I die everytime I try to fight, I will try to remember that next time I put a new suit together and make a new weapon.

 

[Lady Raja]

@ Petra Fyde - Thanks a lot! I just bought the ring and bracelet from your vendor!

@Tjalle and Bo Bo - I went on TC1 to try out this Mysticism. Wow! It is really fun! I really like it! I get that the focus is like eval for Myst, but why drop medi and not eval? What if I was to go straight Myst? So much confusing stuff...


I have only played as a Mage my whole existence on UO, making this leap to a Myst mage is so new, and I really want to do it right... Any advice would be awesome!

Have you been able to get your equipment yet?

 

[Lady Raja]

@ Tjalle - Thanks for the advice. The forum has been very helpful!

@ Sir Morder - I bought the ring and the bracelet off of Petra's vendor. I think I am going to rethink the properties on the suit. I do believe I have narrowed it all down, just need to repost a buying thread when I actually train up Mysticism to where I can use it for RC. I think I was a little too optimistic about finding all the pieces.
