Bump because this thread is so helpful and a quick clarification for me.


So, as I understand it, with the exception of +% to melee speed, all dragonsworn and enhanced armor for level 39 players can be OC'd to 34.5/29.0 points and use the 5th slot bonus? Or does the size of the gem play a bigger part than just the points alone?



35.0 for pieces with +40 hits or hits cap.

33.0 for Legendary weapons.


Note the point-zero, it's important.


Note also that this is not a matter of "using the 5th slot bonus". If you charge beyond this limit, not only do you not get the fifth slot bonus, you don't get ANY of what you SC'd into the piece.


The size of the gem will only matter down toward thid level.

It's possible to make it matter in the level 25-29 BG (I think), but it takes some work.



Can anyone clarify what is the max overcharge in Molvik for items with:

1) +15 stat / +5 stat cap (i.e. dragonsworn legs/gloves)

2) +3 skill / +10 AF (i.e. dragonsworn boots)

3) breastplate/vest


Thanks

1) 34.5,
2) 34.5 (note that there are no Dragonsworn boots with either +3 skill or +10AF),
3) 34.5 if it has +3 skill, 37.5 if it has 2% damage.

Thanks for the clarification!

About boots, u r right: those boots are the new improved armors not the dragonsworn ;P but I understand 34.5 limit applies also to them.

I'm starting a spreadsheet of what different combinations of gems end up doing on the different armors. Looking for constructive advice, recommendations or requests. Look at: Fang's Spreadsheet

(Now if I could just figure out how to change my signature on the post from the 2003 version)

RE: Thidranki

I have recently just returned to DAoC and my head is broken!

I stopped reading almost immediately and zoned out in to outer space somewhere in time...


1. I just want to cap 49/49 stats, 13/13 resists and 5/5 skills for Thidranki....

2. Are there any advantages to the 5th Gem, e.g. +10AF on the sigil armor?

3. Any advantages to using the purple 102 armor vs the 52?

4. Just use the BP items and forget about it?

5. Any website with all the battleground BP items + stats list?

The stats, skills, and resists are easy. The stat caps so you can get all relevant stats to 49 are a bit harder. Doable, but harder.

Yes. Specifically, it's easier to do the stat caps with the various +5 stat cap pieces.

3. Any advantages to using the purple 102 armor vs the 52?


Yes. Note the reference above to the +5 stat cap pieces.

The BP items are fine for most applications. You'll end up short on...(are you ready for this?) stat caps.

Not that I've ever noticed. But I've never looked either.

All that said, it's not hard to cover some of the important stat caps with Au jewelry/armour/weapons. Judicious combinations of Au jewelry/armour/weapons with BP jewelry/armour/weapons, plus a piece or three SC'd to fill in gaps, ought to be more than sufficient for thid.
