Crafting problems
Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 10:08 am
Some things I've noticed (mostly version 1.3):
Boots of Striding +6 needs the Bear's Endurance spell, not Cat's Grace.
Several of the requirements of a mold are wrong: needs two leather hides, not one or three as stated... that sort of thing.
The Invulnerable Armor doesn't work with Mithral full plate. Does it work with half-plate, maybe? I did find that three umber hulk hides and the half-plate mold make a really nice set of mind-spell resistant armor. But I couldn't find more than two red dragon hides to try that instead.
Shields: using the right mold, making a shield from metal ingots is easy. But how to use the red dragon hide, or some other non-metalic material? I tried combining metal and non-metal... no luck. Surely there's no gem requirement. Maybe it's considered a Craft Wonderous Item or something.
The Greater Mantle of Spell Resistance only is usable by wizards and sorcerers, which can be a real bummer once you've used the King's Tear to make it.
Anyone played around with combinations enough to uncover how to make a helm? An adamantine helm is referred to as existing, but helms like belts and boots don't use a mold. Several other helms would be great if we knew the formula: Headband of the Binder, Helm of Brilliance, Helm of the Stranger. Boots of Speed (constant Haste spell) would be excellent. Probably a leather hide, cast Haste on the workbench, but what essence and what gem?
