*another update* to the thread re: Max luck
- Minax Sandals give more luck(150) than Soles of Providence(80) in the foot slot(but will run you 50m on OSI)
- Leather baseline is 2/4/3/3/3, ideally two of those remain baseline when it's exceptional(1 in 1000 do vs 1 in 40 or so with 1 baseline)
- Do not use powerful reforging because if it's brittle you're not able to PoF it
- Hope that the reforge drops 150 luck + resists only on that resist type so that no exceptional points are wasted
- If your reforge drops 150 luck with the rest on 1 resist, which is the one that was baseline, you've got a nice piece
- If your reforge drops 150 luck with the rest on a resist that already had some bonus pts to it from exception, it's not going to be optimal
- If your reforge drops 150 luck with resists in two categories toss the piece or use it as filler on a lesser suit, not enough imbue slots left
- 140+ luck means a metal tool of artifacts is absolutely required to raise it 40 luck more, otherwise it breaks 100% of the time
- Don't make the initial items until you have 100 arms lore or you'll miss out on 5 resist per piece(1 for each 20 skill)
- Above all else:
DO NOT FORGET TO PoF after reforging but before you imbue! You'll swear out loud every time if you forget!
If you get into making a max luck suit expect to have to make a few extra pieces because the resists won't mesh right away unless you're very lucky. Start by making the chest piece because it's the most expensive material-wise, you want to be making gloves last because it will take time to make the perfect piece with the empty resists in the right slots.
A max luck suit, with all artifacts, will easily cost your hundreds of millions and can fetch 450-500 million at sale so don't be thinking you can set up a shop and sell on vendors, at least not with the artifacts. You'll need to build up your suit building rep a bit and if you try and sneak in a few non-optimal pieces you'll lose it fast. Players wanting max everything notice every single point on the suit, lol.
Use the metal of artifacts wisely, the thing costs the equivalent of 500m gold from the origin store for 10 charges and you're going to need 6-7 charges on one suit. Right now the "sweet spot" is making suits that hit 1800 luck but not much more since these can be sold for 175m (max possible on vendor) and can be made for a more reasonable cost.
- The head slot: People prefer a circlet over the leather head piece
- The chest slot: People prefer armor of fortune over player crafted for 10 extra luck(bleh)
- The neck slot: People prefer the 300 luck mempo over a crafted piece, it costs 50m+ on OSI
- Leg, arm and hand slots are almost exclusively player crafted, work on these if you want to sell individual pieces and not suits
- Use your cleanup pts on Etoile Bleue / Novo Bleue if you'll be making suits for others regularly
- Conjurer's garb is the most popular robe but keep an eye out for the hooded robe bearing the crest of blackthorn, it has the same stats
- Minax sandals will also run you 50m, soles of providence are good enough for all but the elite suits
- Don't forget the lucky charm talisman(150 luck) and make blacksmith weapons/shield to compliment the suit, caster friendly of course!
Just dumping more info here... I re-visit it from time to time when I get crafting and info seems to vanish from online in other places without warning
