This crafted longbow will be interesting to see

 

A nice replacement. Got a lot of projects in the works, still can't get my 3x %dmg bow crafted (been 3 weeks now).

 

Nice ring.

Crafted this belt for my SW yesterday ...



All i have to do now is to merge it with this one



and get 2x crit hit/2x damage or 3x crit hit /1x damage.

 

Very nice! I am looking for an all crit belt right now and pair it with an all crit damage amulet. I have most of the ingredients, but I want to get my bow first, which is eating all of my gold at the moment.

 

I am on a half way to get my bow
Already have decent bow ... crafted from exos ... and have 2-3 similar. Now comes the hardest part ... getting a bow in leg to leg crafting. That is very hard and a lot of time and gold consuming process ... and I guess it will wait for a while.

 

Was about to craft a 2handed and wasted 2k gold only to get a nebula and lose my ingredients... My luck has been 0 so far both with gold lines and with the crafting.

 

That is why I was suggesting this https://board-en.drakensang.com/threads/crafting-2-0.71408/page-3#post-649812
I already lost too many items ... fortunately most of them were at TS.

 

You are much further along than I am in that regard. I have 4 pink exo's with 2 gold %dmg lines each, just need to get them both to legendary. Can't even get the first one started.

 

Yeah i sa

Yeah i saw it and it would have been better to be implemented before since the game is not stable. Damn i was so pissed now i have to stick with the useless 2handed i have till i find imgredients again

 

Not to create a separate topic, will ask here.

Where do you guys farm for the green and blue items with good stats? Besides the event arena and purchasing for the badges of honors, which are both useless in terms of quality and with the latter having only benefit of a specific type of weapon for the DK?

The question rather is if you are doing Q maps, or bosses, and also do you do painful or fatal?

I usually do smth like 80-100 runs of q3m1 fatal, 3 champs and craft every 20 runs. 1 hour of farming, 20 minutes of crafting and a break. It works okay in terms of item with dmg and crit, but looks like fatal has zero benefit over painful in terms of %based atts. Is that what you find as well? Whats you crafting specific farming routine?

 

PW mobs. Or badges of honors.

 

I like Q3M1 Fatal also. I too experience that the % crit damage and % damage lines being really lacking which means when I get one, I'm more excited than when I get a useless unique or a higher tier gem. I go into Q3M1 III and kill the 3 bosses and the large mob by the windmill since there is a high concentration up there. Really, it is a matter of time and persistence. And yes, any time I manage to save over 100k badges of honer, I will go on a spending spree for green items. I save 3 and 4 slot items and of course, the % based enchantments on amulets, decorations, belts, gloves, boots and torsos. I generally ignore weapons since I've got what I need for my ideal weapon and now it is just a matter of crafting it.

 

So there isnt a silver bullet its also so expensive, and also time consuming. Decide what to sell, what to melt, what to save for future, and then try to craft. Its like 5 minutes for each page.

On the blues, do you craft 1/2, 1/2 with 4 slot junk or 4 all 4 items with 1/2?

And same on pink, do you craft 2/3, 2/3 with junk or try to find 1/3 to improve chances? I do try to find extra pinks, but skip on blues.

 

I'm picky, so I can go fast. It is a three step process: ID, Sell, Melt.

First, I ID everything and I'm only looking out for gold lines and slots on the types of items I'm looking for. Gold catches my eye even when my brain doesn't have time to register what the stats are, and the only items I need to check for slots at the stage I'm at are a handful of extraordinary items, so it only takes a little to do this part. Any usable items are moved to a designated area of my inventory where I keep my useful "Junk" items.

Second, I have strict rules about what is sell and what is melt, so that speeds it up too. I sell all greens (even those worth less than 10 silver which would be worth more as melt) because there are usually too many to check. Then I sell all blue rings and amulets, and any 2H weapon that is worth more than 70 silver. From time to time, blue shields will also be worth more than 70 silver. Then I check exos. The only exos worth selling in my opinion are ones that are worth more than 3 gold which is the occasional 2H weapon. Not even rings and amulets are worth selling at this point. These items are usually worth between 3.3 gold and 4.5 gold. Finally, if I get a legendary 2H that I can't use for crafting in the future (No slots or no gold lines), I'll check it's sell price. On a really rare occasion, you'll find one worth 11+ gold if it has no % damage or % crit damage and the damage/crit lines are on the high side.

Finally, I melt whatever is left. After already relocating the items worth saving and selling those with high sell prices compared to the melt they'd bring, this part takes no time at all.

After these parts is when I take time to deal with gems, do any crafts that the items I found make doable, reset my essence to a full stack, etc. My inventory these days gives me enough space that I can do 25-35 min of Q3M1 runs like this (depending on how many normal mobs I take on too) and it takes me about 3-5 to reset.

TL;DR- If you are still working on your first 3/4 legendary, craft 2x1/2s with junk items, but if you've working on trying to make your second 3/4 and you have some spare gold lines, it doesn't hurt to use them to improve your crafting odds. Same applies to exos, but 1/3s serve this purpose almost exclusively.
...
Here is some advice that I didn't put in the Crafting 2.0 guide (unless you read in between the lines and draw some conclusions.) If you use 1x1/1 green to make a 1/2 blue, 2x1/2 blues to make a 2/3exo, 2x2/3 exos to make a 3/4 legendary, and 2x3/4 legendaries to make a 4/4 legendary, then you know that you "only" need a total of 8 gold lines that came from either a green or a blue. Once you have made your first 3/4 and you've made your next 2/3 exo, then there is not as much reason to save 1/2 blues to make 2/3 exos. Once you reach that point, it is useful to use these blue to improve your chances at making a 2/3 exo by using them as junk. Your other option is to use them to try and make another 2/3 exo and use that as a junk item, but that is expensive. Still, I'm reaching that point rather soon and I've actually begun saving up for these sorts of crafts. It is a gamble that you will likely lose, but if you have no other options, it is better than just melting or selling the items. Also, those 1/3s that are otherwise useless are great for improving your odds. The same can be done with legendaries while you are working on a 4/4 legendary if you find some 1/4s or 2/4s by dumb luck.

 

Thanks. Pretty much what I thought. Im not that picky though. Also only gold stats, but Im okay with 3 slots final result, and I start that with green. Would even add 2 slots for 70 ander of needed, pair it with another 5 slot green and go from there.

My issue is that I dont find that many gold lines, and I sometime lose patience and accept imperfect crafts, like 16.5, 16.5, 14.5, xx legendary amulet, thinking it is quite good even though not perfect, but odds are im not going to craft better in weeks.

I also accepted 2h with 72%, 109, 104, xx and losing my 79% from pink. Still miss that one line. Now will only focus on %atts.

 

i have saved alot of legend items with gold lines most of them lvl 47-50 should i use them when i get to lvl 50 or at that lvl i should start farming for an unique set?
I dont really know what to do cuz from what ive seen legend items have better % stats while the stats of unique items are lower but the bonus that u get from having more pieces is worth.

 

There is one paradox in my case.
I get more useful ingredient items in painful rather than fatal difficulty.
I am also finding Q6 very useful for ingredients farm. However ... should you decide to farm q6 be aware of the old Q6 bug. Crafting items with even one ghost item can result in lower level item. I got screwed by one item during the process of crafting torso. I have used one level 50 ghost torso and 3 level 50 torsos ... the outcome was level 48 item.

 

Because I have most of the lines I need now, I farm painful since it is faster, but when I needed stats, fatal was best. I don't expect to do much fatal until I'm trying to do my legendary crafting and need junk legendaries with his stats to work on a 4/4, and then I'll likely farm Heredur, Grimag, or Mortis.

 

Another one:

 

are DK items worth more than others? any exos I find are usually 1-2 gold and I have never seen one even close to 3. even the exo amulets are still only max around 2.5 mark? that's with ranger
