[Imbuing] Need Help With Finishing Touches On Luck Suit

[Connor_Graham]

I'm having trouble figuring out how to plan the imbues with the last part of the imbued luck suit I'd mentioned in another thread. I've got my 4 pieces of armor imbued with 140 luck, and now just need to get the LRC, LMC, MR, and the resists. Here are the numbers for the 4 pieces-

Legs- 14/10/7/3/6

Arms- 13/10/7/5/5

Gloves- 14/10/5/5/6

Cap- 13/8/10/4/5

Each piece has 140 luck on it. I'm having problems trying to figure out how to get the resists at or near 65 on each piece AND have the LRC and LMC plus at least 1 piece with MR 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Storm]

what are your other pieces connor? I looked through the old thread but was confused with what you went with for other pieces!
what is the total lmc ,lrc,mr and resists as the suit sits now including the pieces you mentioned in this post?
and i am assuming the order of importance is
lrc
lmc
mr
then resists?

 

[Connor_Graham]

I went with the Armor of Fortune and Leurocian's Mempo for the other 2. The order of preference is LRC, LMC, Resists, then MR. If necessary, I can go with 20 LMC on the suit instead of 30. With the Totem of the Void, that would have me at 30 total LMC.

AoF

40 LRC
2/4/3/3/4


Mempo

MR 1

15/10/10/10/15

ok how about this

legs add 15 poison,8 cold 8lmc, 20 lrc including luck thats 5 mods
arms add 13 energy,13 poison,20 lrc,8 lmc and luck thats 5
gloves add 13 cold,20 lrc and luck leaves 2 mods
cap add 13 energy,10 fire8 lmc,plus luck leaves 1 mod

this makes for
71 physical
62 fire
63 cold
68 poison
67 energy
gives 100 lrc
24 lmc
the 3 left over mods 1 could be mr the other 2 either bump resists up or lmc or both

please check my math ! i would put 8 in lmc mr on a piece and the last in fire

might need to check the intensity of the first 2 they could be close

 

[Storm]

that gave me a headache!

arms add 13 energy,13 poison,20 lrc,8 lmc and luck thats 5
gloves add 13 cold,20 lrc and luck leaves 2 mods
cap add 13 energy,10 fire8 lmc,plus luck leaves 1 mod

So you're saying to add, for example, on the legs, 15 poison to the 3 already on it to make a total of 18? Same with the rest of the resists? Will the weights all come out ok with the starting weight of 140?

 

[Storm]

ok i am doing the weights now
the legs came to 503 so you may need to drop poison 1 point to 14(17 total)
the arms came to 522 so we need drop lmc to 6 this gives 495

so this will make poison 67 not 68 and lmc 22 not 24
the cap and gloves should be ok

I was using this calculator for most of the figures
http://personal.inet.fi/cool/imagess/Imbu/imbu/imbu.html
another thing is you can get a few more points from poison if you have the poison resist boots?

 

[Storm]

there is another calculator out there that is in spread sheet format and a lot easier to use but for the life of me i cant find it now it would be a lot easier to figure this!

 

[ZidjiN]

Im gonna load up my spreadsheet and give this a go as well.
Allways nice with 2 great minds working on it ^^

 

[ZidjiN]

Legs- 14/10/7/3/6
Arms- 13/10/7/5/5
Gloves- 14/10/5/5/6
Cap- 13/8/10/4/5

Leggs
140 Luck
15 LRC
MR 2
15 Poison
18 energy
Arms
140 Luck
15 LRC
7 LMC
17 Energy
17 Cold
Gloves
140 Luck
15 LRC
7 LMC
18 Cold resist
16 Poison
Cap
140 Luck
15 LRC
7 LMC
19 Fire
16 Poison

Total
100% LRC
31% LMC with totem
7 MR with mempo, Garb, jewels
71-63-65-65-65

Its quite cheap to do as well since neither LRC or LMC require special mats

 

[Connor_Graham]

I see 2 different approaches between both of your spreads. Storm goes for max amounts in LRC and LMC while Zidjin sperads them out. What's the difference in weights between the 2 approaches?

 

[ZidjiN]

Both of the has max weight i asume.

heres my values:
Leggs <-------------------- Weight: 498
140 Luck
15 LRC
MR 2
15 Poison
18 energy
Arms <-------------------- Weight: 500
140 Luck
15 LRC
7 LMC
17 Energy
17 Cold
Gloves <-------------------- Weight: 500
140 Luck
15 LRC
7 LMC
18 Cold resist
16 Poison
Cap <-------------------- Weight: 500
140 Luck
15 LRC
7 LMC
19 Fire
16 Poison



I Guess Storms about the same in weight as mine. I see ne reason not to max out the item weight.
My problem your armor parts was that i didnt like the resists, at all.
I would rather have 3 high resists and 2 really low since when your going to imbue a resist it doesnt matter how low the resist value was before imbuing.

I decided to spread the LRC, LMC among all the pieces for two reasons.
1: Cause the total item weight will be the same anyway.
2: Cheaper regs required.

To build my suit you only need ~50 Boura pelts and 10 Seeds of renewal, thats a total cost of ~2mill for the special regs.
Storms would cost a lot more but might turn out a tad bit better in the end.

Better how? Cost isn't something I'm concerned about. I've already got the ingredients to max out LRC on 3 pieces, and have way more than I'd need for LMC. I've also got around 600 boura pelts so that's no issue either. If I can squeeze a little more LMC, fire resist, or even mana regen I'd be willing to do so.

71 physical
62 fire
63 cold
68 poison
67 energy
gives 100 lrc
24 lmc
the 3 left over mods

This is what storm created. Just add whatever you like with the last 3 mods.

I havnt done the calculations so im only assuming the he is correct.

 

[REEFHAWK1969]

After reading this post, I started making me a Luck Suit.

I have elected to use the Armor of Fortune (40 LRC, 15 DCI & 200 Luck) and Leurocian's Mempho (MR 1 & 300 Luck), Soles (80 Luck), Conjure's Garb (MR 2 & 150 Luck) Earrings of Protection (Physical Resist 2), Order Shield from Museum (80 Luck) and I have a SC Weapon with DCI and 130 Luck(Non Imbued) and Totem of Void (10 LMC):

I made Hats, Gloves, Sleeves and Legs out of Normal Leather, then put POF to 255 Durability, Imbued 100 Luck on each piece and then Enhanced with Spined Leather for the 140 Luck. The following are the 4 pieces of armor I Enhanced and their original resist:
Befor Enhance After Enhance

Legs- 5/5/10/7/5 10/5/10/7/5
Arms- 5/5/8/10/5 10/5/8/10/5
Gloves-7/9/3/11/5 12/9/3/11/5
Cap- 5/10/3/11/5 10/10/3/11/5

(I shud have made my legs & Arms with better resists, but I just got tired of making armor. I started out making caps, then gloves, then arms and then legs.)

Note: When I worked on my Luck Suit, I tried to have 3 of the resist on each piece of armor total 27 resist or more before I imbued each piece. When I worked on my Mage or Dexer Suits, I tried to have 3 of the resist on each piece of armor total 34 resists or more before I imbued each piece.

I then Imbued these 4 pieces of armor with the following:

Legs - MR 2, LRC 15, Fire to 17 & Poison to 17
Arms - MR 2, LRC 15, Fire to 18 & Energy to 16
Gloves - MR 2, LRC 15, LMC 7, Cold to 16
Cap - MR 2, LRC 15, Cold to 16 & Energy to 17

My suit is 68/68/63/62/62 with MR 13, LRC 100, LMC 17 and Luck 1890.
I also have a few other mods like DCI and HPR.

Hope this helps.

This is what storm created. Just add whatever you like with the last 3 mods.

Am I missing something? I'm coming up 16 short in poison.

 

[Storm]

Am I missing something? I'm coming up 16 short in poison.

ok the original resist total for poison on these pieces was 17 then add in from aof and mempo was 13 for 40 total !
add 14 from legs and 13 from arms and you have 67

when you do this you know to put the most expensive mods on first and resists last ?

and for the future if you decide to do again like the poster above said you want a piece with 3 really high and 2 realy low this is to get more bang for your buck !

also conner the reason to do resist last is there may be a couple that you can take to 19 not 18 so if you have the room you can add these in at the end basicly use whats left on the full pieces in resist!
hope this helps and sorry for the late reply just got up slept in for the super bowl party

 

[Connor_Graham]

I am doing the resists last, and followed what you'd put above except for dropping 3 points in poison on the arms so I could keep the 8 LMC. I tried the suit on after imbuing the resists and came up with only 49 total on the whole suit, including the mempo and AoF. I've checked it several times and I haven't missed any, so I'm not sure what's going on.

 

[Storm]

you are not checking this with any spells on you ? like protect or anything? not cursed or something?
crap i see it i had total for poison at 40 for the suit before imbueing it was 30! so one of the last mods will need to be poison it will probably fir best on the cap!

 

[Connor_Graham]

No, no spells. Glad you found where it was missing. I'd stopped on the cap after imbuing the LMC so I can still fit it in. Thanks.

 

[Storm]

That was why I said check my math I Knew I was tired when I was working on it and being dyslexic does not help!
