I've been gone about 2 - 2 1/2 years, Mythic changed the bonus level on my crafted gear in molvik. Im attempting to redo the gear, but I need to know how many imbue points I can put into any player crafted item? Also, is it better for me to NOT use level 51 armor, but instead use lower level armor so that the Bonus level will now affect me?


Any help is really appreciated!

See the thread "Quickie Dragonsworn/Enhanced/Legendary tutorial for Molvik and Thid toons" in the Trade Skills forum.

That should answer pretty much all the questions you have. If you still have any after you've read that, let me know and I'll be happy to answer them in great and insulting detail.

Use level 51 armour, either regular or Dragonsworn depending on what bonus stats you want. To stay below bonus level 39 you need to keep your imbue points to a maximum of 34.5, with the exception of the chest piece which can go all the way to 37.5. Level 51 weapons can go to 34.5, with exception of legendaries which can only go to 32.5. Note that you need to fill all four gem slots to activate the extra bonus stats or stat caps on level 51 items. Also note that alchemy procs do not add to the bonus level.

There's more info here.

iirc.

Use level 51 armor.

Put a maximum of 34.5 imbue points on all pieces, except:

for some reason the chest can have up to 37 imbue points. But I don't know if that means 37.5, I just remember someone saying that the chest can have "up to 5 points OC". I'm pretty sure that ingame, it rounds down to the nearest whole number, so its debatable what 5 points OC really means. Regardless,I recently made a couple of Molvik templates with up to 34.5 on most pieces, and 35 on the chest, and they all worked fine. So take from that what you will.

Keep in mind, its pretty unlikely you need to use all the imbue points anyways. Most of the molvik templates I made could be done with 2 pieces left entirely blank. One problem is you need 4 spellcrafted gems in order to get the 5th slot bonus. Also, because I had extra utility I decided to make the template work as a PvE template until 50, so I overcapped skills to +11, and stats to +101 to compensate for when I eventually leave Molvik.

37.5 works fne on chest, I did that just the other day on a level 51 Dragonsworn chest and the bonus level came out at only 38.

Whether you need all the imbue points or not depends on the class. I've made a lot of different templates for Molvik and casters are usually very easy to template, as are straightforward melee classes like Skalds, Vamps and light tanks. Usually a bit trickier for hybrids and supports, but by far the hardest are stealthers. Assassins usually eat up every available imbue point as they need the biggest range of different caps, stats and skills of any class.

Yes, 37.5 works on DRAGONSWORN chests. it does NOT work on the "enhanced" chests (the ones with +3 skill).

Note also that the +40 hits/hits-cap items can take 35.0. Pay attention to the .0, it's important - they won't take 35.5.
