Doing some 190 Luck pieces and wanted to make sure I have the strategy right...

[TrackStar]

1. Leather armor:
120 tailor/100 arms lore
Craft leather pieces until I get several with my chosen resist at a very low number.
Reforge Horned kit + NOT powerful + Fortune
POF
Imbue the lowest resist to maximum along with other chosen imbuements.
Enhance with spined leather using Forged Metal of Artifacts

2. Metal Shield:
120 blacksmith/100 arms lore
Craft a shield. Should I be looking for anything in particular?
Reforge Copper + Powerful + Fortune
POF
Imbue the chosen imbuements.
Enhance with gold ingots using Forged Metal of Artifacts

OR

2. a. Metal Shield (with MR 4):
120 blacksmith/100 arms lore
Craft a shield. Should I be looking for anything in particular?
Reforge Bronze? or Gold? + Powerful + Fortune
POF
Imbue the chosen imbuements.
Enhance with gold ingots using Forged Metal of Artifacts

3. 190 luck weapon... How?


Do I have this correct? Is the MR4 very difficult on the shield?

I'm not sure that arms lore does anything atleast I never use it. I always just repeat in my head reforge/pof/imbue/enhance. But yea it important to watch your resists on pieces as over cap pieces not only take up weight but one imbue slot as well.

How can you tell if resists are over capped? Is there a number to look out for?

Would I not want Arms Lore to increase the total resist available without it counting as an imbue weight? OR does it count as imbue weight?

Log on to TC and try a bunch of different reforges with different kits/hammers until you get what you want.

Is there a guide somewhere on how to use TC?

I have time to answer better now, and I may do a thread about this. Done.

Crafting a Tamer/Mage Luck Suit for the Mini Abominations

Do not be intimidated when considering crafting a Luck suit. This whole suit was way easier than trying to make a not perfect but OK Dex armor item. This thread will be longer than the time needed to make the suit. Please read thru the original posts before Imbuing! Before you actually begin...

First we can not tell if you are using the correct strategy. You got the 190 luck so that was correct, but the rest depends on your end goals for the template.

@Riner made this thread on the other forum. Download the document in the attachment.

Crafting Elemental Weapons and Luck Suits with Max resists step-by-step

When I started crafting a few months ago I found it difficult to find detailed information on how to craft elemental weapons and luck suits.

forum.uo.com

It will tell you the tools you need and how to choose the pieces that will be reforged.

What pieces you save and use, then choices you make on imbuing, depend on what you want on the template.

@TrackStar
Step 0 : grab all the gear you plan to use with your luck suit and check what do you need : resists , Mana regen, LMC, FC/FCR, etc.
For example Bracelet of Primal Consumption can save you lots of imbuing spots so you can have more stats on suits instead of resists.
Or even ring of elements which have only 100 luck but 16 in elemental resists.
Then think which form you will use most : normal , tree (spellweaving) or wraith.

your mage Still lack some resists - ride armored swampy instead of a horse.

Above I forgot to mention Magic Reflection spell , which also increases all elemental resists by 10 decreasing physical one (which you have plenty from spined leather. ). Decrease in max physical is usually bearable too.
