My son has been playing this. I have no knowledge of game play at all... I've watched him play a bit and that's about it.
He saw something about crafting super high number weapons and armor and wanted help with it. So we followed some dude's guide for making the best armor. Turns out that there's another glitch you can use, which we did, and in combination with the first dude's guide we crafted armor and weapons that are above anything we could find online LOL.
It's funny to watch my son taking notes during a game. He writes down ingredients and where they can be found, order of doing things to maximize results, etc....
Anyways, if you play you know that Deidric (sp?) bows and armor. His bow without any enhancements does 200 damage. As soon as he has a full set of +40 Dmg bow stuff he should be kicking it.
Not sure what his armor turned out to be, if anyone's interested I could post up everything and how to do it.
