Thread: U6 Crafted/Rep/Other Gear

Barter

Teal items require that you get lesser versions (which I haven't SSed, they are just worse versions of their teal counterparts) first and then upgrade them. I don't know, but I would guess the barter items for the lesser versions come from landscape quests (silver/gold tokens), and the upgrade item (unhatched spiders egg) for the teals from the new instance.

The clickies are disabled in the moors.

The purple items I've SSed are just standard items, can't be upgraded and only need the silver/gold tokens.

Also a few LI titles, there are loads of variations on each type available.

Crafted

The standard 1-shot recipes require friend standing with the Riders of Stangard. The guild recipes only require guild rep.

Mats are pretty standard, 1 cracked sigil, 1 large westfold symbol for guild recipes and a few ingots/gems etc.

Crafted relics require a level 75 item.

Jeweller




Scholar




Weaponsmith




Crafted Relics

There are no new shields/cloaks/regen food as far as I can tell.

Tailor



Metalsmith

I saw the Empowered Anduin Martyr's Bauble and almost spilled coffee on my shirt.

Thanks for posting! +Rep to you!

Yeah, that one is absolutely insane for a clicky and way out of line with the others. I would be amazed if it isn't nerfed before live.

Well Hunter's have been saying that wanted more survivability.... :P

Well, you guys do realize that you will have to equip 3 pieces of jewellery that will not be suited for your class to be able to get that bubble effect from time to time? ^^

Does anyone know how much might the "Might, Tier 1" scrolls provide? Is it sufficient to be considered an upgrade to the "+phys. Mastery" titles?

I hope not. Anything less and it would be pointless for tanking in pve, sounds like a fun set bonus and tanks don't get any love from crafted relics so why not give us something epic? Good for everyone in PvE :P

Perhaps make these unusable in PvP however, seem far too strong.

Thing is the stats on these 3 items are nice for captains/champs too, for those classes it is going to be overpowered (3 bubbles for champ... ).

Disabling them in the moors seems sensible though, as the lorien clickies used to be.

OMG Vagabond's bauble, better than lucky coin!

Yes, the new clickies are barred from use in the Moors, just like the old Lothlórien ones.

Is there a level requirement for the crafted relics? They're delicious, but I'll be real sad if I have either suck it up and not have one on my DPS rune, or else grind out a lvl 75 one.

Cheers for the confirmation Rock.

I think having clickies for PvE only is a good idea. These sets are still viable in the moors based on stats alone, the clickies make them a lot more fun in PvE than normal gear so for me it's a win/win.

Kudos for adding some more interesting gear types. Now looking forward to some more 'effect on damage' type stuff!

So just like the old lothlorien ones, few are are going to get them.

/shrug. Thanks for sparing me this grind, then.

Yup, they require a minimum level 75 items.

The difference is that the old loth items were mostly average or bad stat wise, whilst these are very nice and in some cases the best available, especially when you take the +31 stat x2 set bonuses into account.

Great, good thing I spent ludicrous amounts of medallions and marks levelling up my dumb skirmish soldier, assuming I'd have to use it in U6 (reality = lol, no thanks), when I really should have made a 75 DPS rune and spent my currency on empowerment scrolls instead.

These sets look great for PvE and stat wise will work seriously well for PvP too. I can't see how anyone who enjoys PvE wouldn't find these items atractive tbh.

It's at this point that I begin to regret equipping four of my toons completely in "of Theodred" jewellry (and armour). Yikes, here we go again!

You can buy a skirmish soldier reset scroll from the store quite cheaply though.

Sure, too bad that'll do nothing (well, little, I guess, since U6 lets us trade currencies up at a terrible rate) to offset the number of medallions I've converted to marks for my herbie.

This is so lol...the rep items are WAY better than the Saruman T2C-Drops...even the purple ones

Are they? Keep in mind the Orthanc loot is getting buffed, too.

Seems like a real lack of Finesse on these jewelry items, unfortunately...we're probably going to have to mix and match with other existing jewelry to keep our Finesse at a reasonable level. The clicky sets are definitely worth it, though, and most people will probably go with a raid set of armor and the tiering necklace, so that's just leaving one ring, one wrist, and the cloak slot open to play with....

The game moves ever-closer to homogenization

*Wanders off and fetches a 75 champ rune*

Cheers for the images also! +rep

Ohh are they buffed? didnt see anything yet. interesting...

The caster gear in this thread is a big disappointment. It has tons of fate, very little will. Even the set items, tons of fate. Why is there so much of it?

Mender's and Sage's sets all have +126 Will on each piece and +31 will set bonus X2 for a total of 440 will for 3 pieces of jewelery ...

Still no love for the wood??

We haven't had anything to craft for ages now, besides the one-off LI. Jewellery seems to be getting all the love in the last couple updates.

There are tailor/metalsmith/woodworker/cook (stat food) recipes too, I just haven't got round to SSing them yet.

No new Metalsmith/Tailor recipes (more importantly Armor and Shields)?

Nice gear, i just hope the quests are set out nicely. Really dont want to do another grey company grind...

Yeah, we guards really need epic shields!

WOW!!! and how many months have you been playing U6?

A lot of work. Thank you! Now I have to digest it all.

My question is that is it possible to get Kindred with Heroes of Limlight Gorge by solo means (meaning, is there repeatable solo quests for that reputation and/or tasks), or is this group-only faction?

Finished the download and took a look. There is indeed new armor for both Metalsmith and Tailor. But, no shield, unfortunately. I hope the instance drops a teal one, or else I'll be sure Turbine doesn't like tanks - or favors champ tanking :P

Also, make heavy shields HEAVY again. I think some rogue (and rich) spellcaster went crazy and bought a lot of Reduce object wands and used it on all shields since RoI. I felt stupid on my mini using the crafted one from Dunland. That thing wouldn't protect me even from a fly, haha.

Seeing the Limlight Gorge being a group area and the stats of the new sets, I believe and really hope, the rep quests are group only

And the teal pieces require a barter item from the new 6-man

If everything stays the same, much of the new gear looks superior to even Orthanc tier 2 gear. Does anyone know if Orthanc gear is being upgraded? And if yes, any pictures on the new stats?

apologies if this has already been posted, couldnt see it anywhere.

new metalsmith guild recipes, no shields i'm afraid


cosmetically right now its the same as theodred armour, the chest-piece of which now dyes.


i've not got the rep for the uncrit versions or tailor recipes

Update on the Heroes of Limlight:

Their Rep seems to come from Group Quests and Tasks
For those Tasks you need to kill the 70k Elite Masters or the 140k Nemesis

I did solo two of those Elite Masters (Spider and Huorn), some of the Nemesis may be possible to solo too

However, the RK changes make us very solo friendly, other classes will have a much harder time trying to solo these mobs
