Armor/Jewelry Planning with Imbue

[Paulonius]

I made some quick shorthand notes for building a suit with imbue and here are my thoughts:

Dexxer Armor Characteristics:
HP Increase: 3 pcs, +8 each (Max is 25) Luminescent Fungi/Essence
Lower Mana Cost: 5 pcs, -8% each (Max is -40%) Dark Sapphire/Fragment
Dex Increase: 3 pcs, +8 each (Max is 25)  Luminescent Fungi/Essence
Stam Increase: 5 pcs, +8 each (uncapped) Luminescent Fungi/Essence

Result: +24 HP, +24 Dex, +40 Stam, -40% Mana Cost
Total Ingredients: 11 Essence, 5 Fragment, 11 Fungi, 5 D Saphire

With two armor slots reserved for resist increases to bring it to all 70s, this leaves a couple of additional slots for INT Inc, or a regen.  Likely to have 2-3 additional open slots with this plan (total 4-5) depending on how imbue interacts with exceptional crafted items and runics. 

Dexer Jewelry (Bracelet and Ring):
+25 DI Turquoise/Fragment
+15 DCI Pearl/Fragment
+15 HCI Ecru/Fragment
+15 Skill Slot A Turquoise/Fragment
+15 Skill Slot B Turquoise/Fragment

Total Adds: +50 DI, +30 DCI, +30 HCI, +30 Skill A, +30 Skill B
Total Ingredients: 8 Fragment, 6 Turquoise, 2 Pearl, 2 Ecru

You will find it hard to get that 5th stat on anything last i tested. Thus ruining your calculation of ingreditents required.  Now the last i tested getting 4 stats on was easy  (well at 120 imbueing/garg/at queens forge ie max bonuses.)

[Masscre]

At 120 and using a plus anvil normally you will have 180 to 190 % chance to embue the first item at max intensity. The second property at max intensity will be around 120% chance.  The third property at max intensity would be around 70% chance. Forth property at max intensity will be around 40 - 45 % chance. fifth property at max intensity will be around 4 or 5 % chance to make and use alot of resources and fail a tremendous amount of times.

When you fail don't you just lose the NPC bought jewels? Not the gems/relics/etc

[Paulonius]

Does anyone have a breakdown on what you lose when you fail? Specifically, can you burn up your relic essence/fragments? 

When working with the rare ingredients to make the ML artifacts you generally only lose the mundane ingredients, not your rares.  I can see losing the fungus and gems, but losing relic fragments would be a bummer...

[Petkiller]

I played around on the beta.  I didn't record hard numbers but I know I was losing a bit of stuff on the 4th imbued stat.  I failed so much trying for a 5th imbued stat on items and I know I was losing relic framents.  I been picking up old cursed/crap doom artis to unravel.  I might finally find a use for all the bone crushers and arctic death dealers.

[Masscre]

Out of the 3 ingredients to embue an item you use up the store bought gems and the essences each time you succeed or fail, but if you fail you do not use up the rare gems like white pearls and so forth.

[NObama]

It's going to take an absurdly long time to succeed making a 500%, even with the Queen's Bonus.

On the plus side, though, there is no longer any need to train taming.  Just get yourself a new gargoyle character, and some +15 tame/+15 lore earrings, necklace, ring, bracelet...

The new age of twinking is upon us!

=D

[Remaker]

i dont think you can put skills on earrings anymore, created an imbalance issue for character templates.

HOWEVER!

with Sampires you can make a ring with stats you want, then a bracelet with 75 skill points putting u @ 795. (vice versa on the ring/brace)

Lets you fill in your template to bring back the "true" sampire(with vamp embrace).

120 wep
120 bush
120 parry
100 necro
100 healing
90 anat
75 chiv
70 tactics

795 total (720 + 75 ring or brace)
*mixing up the last 3 skills point values as you see fit works.

[Paulonius]

Does anyone have solid intell on what stuff you can unwind? I read somewhere that they were thinking of lining up the things you could unwind with the things you can recycle.

Does anyone know whether you can you unwind these things:

Artifacts
Cursed Artifacts
Bows
Wooden magic items
Jewelry

[Endless Night]

YES on all fronts.   (disclaimer last i tested)

[NObama]

Darnit, when did they take skills off earrings?  I was really counting on having GM hiding/stealth without any real skill...

 

[Rn]

skill on earrings for gargs only pretty sure

[Paulonius]

So I am doing a cursory review of crappy artifacts that should unwind to a fragment and which retail in Luna for 100K or less:

Pixie Swatter
Legacy of the Dread Lord
The Dragon Slayer
Dragon's End
Nox Ranger  (added after reviewing RN's list below)
Arctic Death Dealer (added after reviewing RN's list below)
Blaze of Death (added after reviewing RN's list below)
Cold Blood (added after reviewing RN's list below)
Brightsight Lenses (added after reviewing RN's list below I can't find data on resists for glasses, so I am assuming based on total resists)

Cursed artis.

Anyone else got some ideas?
I have been buying these up where I see them cheap.
