New Turn-in Jewelry Set for Warriors

Take a look at this new turn-in jewelry set in pub 83 on TC. It is very nice except for templates that require skill points on jewelry. This costs 150,000 turn-in points each (300,000 points for the set). I think I will finally be using some of the points I have been hoarding. At 300K, these are far cheaper (and more useful in my opinion) than those 5 use dyes at 500K.

Oh this is awesome. I just started trashing the loot from the Trogs that I was using for Imbuing Ingredients and started making about 500-1500 per trip. I should be able to get these shortly after they are released.

Yeah, I can't wait for these things to hit. Glad to see the Devs step up and give the dexxer something that is on par with the Novo Blue set.

I will need to fit 7 LMC somewhere else in my armour, but my swords/chiv/bush/lumberjacker is getting this set. It will be awesome! :D

I got my first set last night on Origin. They are dyable and look great on my garg thrower. Sampire next!

Where do you all stand on DCI these days? My sampire has 30 DCI on jewels and gets the other 15 from equipment. Are you foregoing a full 45 DCI? Using 120 parry? Is the extra 200 luck and 10 DI worth it to you to sacrifice the chance at DCI on your jewels? I'm not forgetting the SSI...but that's dropping on loot from shame that can be further imbued.

I am still a fan of dci, but I am also a fan of luck in the revamped dungeons and anyway you can add luck there is always a +. I have 2 suits for my Sampire (luck and normal). I will add the new jewls to the luck suit and use them on the normal suit until I get the uber jewls I am looking for to go along with that suit.

I treat my sampire like a tank. I run with 45 DCI and often with both 120 bush and parry. I usually sacrifice some HCI for DCI but it has gotten easier over the years to get HCI on your suit with Arties and reforging.

Your sampire(s) might be much better than mine probably, but I can't get enough of that HCI. Related: Sometimes I even add HLD to my weapons - in addition to my Mace And Shield Reading Glasses so I hit even more often.

Somehow I cannot edit my post. I want to add that I personally sacrificed stat points for max. DCI, HCI etc.

Well, I am working my new jewelry set into my suit. I am finding DCI tight. I think I will have to use Fey Leggings. More experimenting to do. Maybe even use Imbued Clockwork Leggings. Hmmm...

I hadn't even considered using artifact leggings. Doesn't it defeat the purpose of the extra 200 luck (instead of just imbuing 100 luck on each jewel) or less (get shame jewels with 150 luck and desired mods) to lose out on a leg slot that could potentially be 190 luck (reforge 150 + 40 enhance)?

With clockwork leggings you can get +25 DCI, 5 Dex, stam regen 1 and luck 140 after enhancing, though.
Not much of a loss.

I can imbue and enhance clockwork leggings?
Yup.
You will want to drop that stam regen to 1 when imbuing, though, because that thing only has 450 weight to work with, and it is almost all taken.

Yeah, using the new brace and ring on my wraith thrower is a no brainer. It works great and opens up some possibilities with 25 SSI on my suit (10 from jewelry set, 10 from berserker's breastplate, and 5 from Warden's Augmentation) not counting the weapon.

As for the sampire, I'm trying to go with using two arties for the 6 armor pieces: Mace and Shield Glasses and one other piece with DCI. I think it will be Fey Leggings. It will take me 4 reforged pieces to equal that with 5 DCI each. With 30 HCI on the jewelry set, it is very easy to hit 45 HCI now (+10 with Conjurer's Trinket and 5 reforged on one piece or using Despicable Quiver. Still working through the best suit combo.

Do you count that Mace and Shield Glasses is better than a crafted helm with 190 luck?

p.s. You could use five '150 luck + 4 dci' armor pieces to get 45 dci.

I do consider the glasses better because it saves a mod from my weapon but I also don't stack luck in my suits. If it is incidentally there then that is fine, but with 1000 luck from perfection I often leave it at that.

My next sampire/melee set of armor and weapons I'll be looking at forgoing mace and shields (can imbue much higher HLD anyway).

Will you use a whetstone of enervation?
I suppose that is an option. Otherwise with DI on the weapon, I need room for SSI, HML, and HSL. The last mod is for slayer or hit area depending on my use of the weapon. I would even typically use HLA over HLD because I can have that on the glasses.

Of course!!!! With the new rings, getting 100 DI is going to be quite easy I think.

I have like 5 different sampire suits, all with slightly different builds and equipment used. You would be surprised at the number of things you can free up by thinking outside the cookie cutter sampire (example- on one of mine, I run a spirit of the totem).

Gotta wonder, has anyone figured out how to incorporate these new jewelry pieces into a sampire suit made primarily of named arties? I roll with:


Mace & Shield Reading Glasses
Crafted Sleeves
Crafted Weapon
Crafted Gloves
Crafted Jewelry
Cloak of Death
Fey Leggings (Human Version)
Ranger's Cloak of Augmentation
Jackal's Collar
Spell Focusing Sash
Primer on Arms Damage Removal
Rune Beetle Carapace

Would love to replace crafted jewelry with this set, but I'd lose the following:

Ring:
HCI 15%
DCI 11%
LMC 8%
DMG+ 20%
Poison Resist 15%

Bracelet:
HCI 15%
DCI 9%
FCR 3
DMG+ 21%
Fire Resist 15%

Any ideas???

Well, you're losing 20 DCI, 3 FCR and 15 Fire resist.
That's what you will have to work out. The new jewelry set comes with 30 HCI and 60 DI.

Edit: My suggestion for the DCI is to refine the armour pieces you're wearing to have +4 in each resist, or +5, and take a -20% or -25% DCI cap hit. For your sampire, it shouldn't matter much unless you're pvping against melee people a lot. Also, you may want to consider replacing the fey leggings with imbued/enhanced with agapite clockwork leggings for +25 DCI, 5 dex, some extra fire resist. You will need to imbue energy resist to it, though.
The 3 FCR is more troubling and I am not sure how you could go with replacing it.

I think I need to add this to my sig....

Jackal's Collar is bad, just say no.

Hmmm.... lemme pick your brain a second then. I am looking at doing a straight high end suit for my sampire. Right now he is just running with 190 luck and hci 4 pieces. I started trying to get the Glad's Collar in the high end one but gave up due to the resists not working out. I was thinking of using Jackal's as a fallback. Would it come out better to give up the extra dex in exchange for a reforged/imbued piece?

I dropped the Jackal's collar and used reforged/imbued/enhanced. Since a Sampire doesn't use bandages for healing, Dex can be lower, just keep Stamina high.

You can max out dex to 150 other ways, you are better off getting a stamina piece.

I mean, seriously... look at it:
Dex 15
HPR 2
physical 5
fire 23
cold 17
poison 3
energy 2

I mean... that's it.... You can reforge/imbue/enhance a MUCH better piece than that. That resist is crap....50 total resist? HPR 2...which is nice, but essentially a waste on a sampire (unless you a building a HPR suit, even then, you are better off making a piece).

You can get overall better (dex + stamina) than that with reforging- Animated/ of Haste.

I think Fey Legs are the best option for a sampire while using this jewelry set.

It depends on how are you going to use this suit but I believe 190 luck and 4 dci would be better. And you should use a shield (15 dci).
Trinket + Despicable give you 15 hci if you don't worry about double damage from reponds and damage reflection on the quiver.
As an alternative I'd consider using DF for SSI and HCI.

I was kind of hoping one of you who actually incorporated the gems into your suit would post the details as lynk did with his original build. I'm a little slow.. ^^;

They are pretty good for a clean up reward charity item.
(i most likely wont make a luck suit unless i have a sick day or something, imo luck suits are a nice hobby but dont really pay off)
BUT if i do make one this is what it will look like (concerning needed stats and how to get them)
I would use a broadsword. i prefer bladed staff, but in a luck suit shield is a good option (negates parry of course)
35ssi is the "sweet spot" i would say in a luck suit. 1.25 ssi down to 150 stam
10ssi from new jewls
5ssi ranger cloak
10ssi shield (will end up with 140 luck after imbue and enhance)
10 ssi on 100 mana leech sword, taking mana leech down to around 90 i think (yes i dont think its worth it to reforge for luck rather than mana for a quick kill samp)
So that gives you your 35 needed ssi.
For DCI - and you will need it with parry being negated by shield
A couple options
-go with clockworks - easy to max out dci
-go with 20dci on shield, 5 on sash, 5on garb, could probably get by with 30.

This is what id do for a "killing" lucksuit. If your really a luck fan, and fighting high level stuff, you arent going to be wearing your suit most the time anyway - just for the last few hits of the fight. So the stats on it wouldnt really matter much as long as you can survive 20 secs or so.
For "easy" stuff where your suit stays on, this is what id do

Could use radiant scimitar if needed for very easy ww stuff. double axe just wouldnt work at all with these jewels unless you used tinker legs to get to your 55ssi.
