Question to Expert Imbuers/Reforgers....

poppspopps Posts: 3,903
edited January 2022 in General Discussions
I am in need, to craft 4 "medable" pieces (Arms, Gorget, Tunic and Gloves) each of which was to have 190 Luck and then, throughout all these 4 Pieces, I need to come up with : 

- 57 Physical Resistance
- 61 Fire Resistance
- 60 Cold Resistance
- 52 Poison Resistance
- 52 Energy Resistance
- 90% Lower Reagents Cost (basically, 2 x 25 - 2 x 20 LRC)

And, "if" possible, some HPR (Hit Point Regeneration) and if there is any room, some HPI.

Of course, with 255/255 Durability.....

Is it possible to Craft, Imbue and Reforge these 4 "medable" pieces to obtain such a result ?

If so, what would be the step by step process to make them ?

If, through Crafting/Imbuing/Reforging it was not going to be possible to get those Resistances across the 4 pieces, I can have a "Plan B" by using 1 Legendary piece with 140 Luck but very High Resistances so to loose 50 Luck, but be able to tally up those Resistances indicated above across the 4 pieces of the suit.

Thanks for the kind help !!

    Well, an "how to" in order to reach the wanted result without making mistakes...

    How else would you word it ?

    well... your gonna craft alot of trash gear in this process. and it is going to be hard to get 22-24lrc and 150 luck from reforging.
    it will take a bit to get 150 luck and the right LRC
    you will need arms lore to craft for the extra resists
    your gonna choose wizardly and fortune for reforging
    your gonna powder
    your gonna imbue (yes imbue first, gives more room) hpi, hpr, and a resist. you may not have room for all, so i would focus on resist, becuase of the ability to swap gear at the last moment.

    after your have your 4 peices imbued, get a forged metal artifact (because without one, that suit is gonna break, and enhance with:
     spined leather(only boosts phys resist by 9) so you are gonna be looking for peices that will get your resists as close as possible by adding another 36(from enhanceing) points to your phys total.




  • you have to find the answers like everyone else did. Why should it be put on a plate for you? Want someone to actually make it so you can sit back and do nothing?

    One word

    RESEARCH

    the info is all out there, YOU have to go look like everyone else did

    Start with google uostratics or uoguide imbuing oh wow, why did you think of that?

    Here is what you asked for @popps

    My question to you would be what other pieces are you using (namely head slot / legs)? Why do you only have 10% LRC between these 2 pieces (among many other missing properties)? 

    Using the Wildfire luck mask gives you 25 LRC and 15 to every resist alone. Please don't act like you didn't get at least one mask from the event either because I remember you posting about it on a thread during the event. Even if I did entertain the idea that you don't have the mask; then your head piece should focused on luck/LRC.

    I cannot think of what legs you would be using that would warrant not having at least 20 LRC imbued on them in addition to the luck since there isn't any artifact offering better luck totals (if you  legs don't have luck / LRC I'd question why they are in your "luck suit").

    Can you reforge LRC greater than 20?  I have made a few Luck/LRC suits and a lot of LRC suits and I have never gotten more than 20 LRC.

    Why only 4 piece suit @popps

    It is a very specific suit for a very focused employment.....

    I got Head, Robe, Legs and jewellery pretty much "stuck" with what I have to use there.... the 10 LRC comes from a Mana Orb...

    Certainly the Mempo's 300 Luck would be great, and the Resists are decent, the problem is, that it has 0 LRC and there is no way that I could get 90% LRC with the remaining 3 pieces....

    So what is the purpose of the suit then (that you won't share the properties on the head/legs)??

    Just more trolling I suspect.

    I use a lot of very customized luck suits 55 lmc studded for my archer different ones for tamers mainly concerned with lmc and MR to keep consume running etc so yes knowing the use of the suit is important in this advice although technically i i answered his question in my first reply which should have been the end of it

    - 90% Lower Reagents Cost (basically, 2 x 25 - 2 x 20 LRC)
    From my experience I will highlight this, getting 190 Luck requires inital reforging to 150 then enhancing with forged metal of artifacts.
    25 LRC can only be achieved by reforging.

    Reforging a piece for 25 LRC & 150 Luck is a shot in the dark in my opinion, chances are slim/impossible without the piece being brittle or worse.

    I would suggest posting your 'other' pieces and maybe alternative options can be suggested.

    The jewelry is pretty set in stone with building luck suits 
    The bleue set for casters
    The rouge set for warriors 
    Or compassions eye and bracelet of primal consumption 

    The mempo 
    Armor of fortune 
    wildfire mask 
    Yuko earrings 
    Minax sandals 
    Luck robe 

    All basically mandatory if you want. Max luck

    That is why I was asking for those 4 pieces with 190 Luck reforged on them....

    @popps What are you building this for and what other pieces do you already have?  Have you tried VS?
  • MerusMerus Posts: 656
    I do not believe it is possible to get the 4 pieces you describe without imbuing or reforging additional resist on to the pieces.  You need 246 resist points pre enhancement out of 4 pieces, or just over 61 points per piece.  This can’t be achieved with base leather, even with Armslore.  Resist slots and weight will likely eat up most of your additions after luck and LRC.

    Just go hunt Fel for the 1k luck bonus then and don't worry about the suit.

    He's just trolling as usual, I wouldn't waste too much energy on it.

    You go here:  https://www.uoguide.com/Runic_Re-Forging
    Or: https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/skills/imbuing/runic-reforging/

    My eyes read the first one better.

    Make as many exceptional plain leather arms as your crafter with arms lore can carry. Choose the ones with low physical resist. Fill up again. Take a few 90 charge Spined runic sewing kits. (You can not choose Auspicious on a Horned or Barbed kit) Go to a soulforge.  I always use Queens with my Garg. (I always crash within a minute of starting, Re open UO and I don't crash again.)

    Runic Reforging:
    As you can see below, Spined Gives 1 to3 properties.  Since you are choosing 1 from 2 categories, You will get 2 or 3.

    Dble click the Spined Runic. Click on the item you want to reforge.

    Click help to read about what each thing does. Also here are the armor choices and runic info.


    I choose Powerful, Structural because both give more max power chance to each property.
    I do not need Fortified because I can PoF the items after.
    I choose Grand Inspired Exalted and Sublime So I can put the 2 names I want on the pieces.
    (If you choose just Exalted, you will almost always get a random property from any group.)

    Click Reforge and your item is made. Repeat over and over then make more sleeves and repeat over and over.


    Chances to make what you want.  
    Each item will have Luck because that is the only thing in that category.
    Each item will have 1 or 2 properties from the other category.
    You have 1 in 5 chance to get LRC
    Each property has an intensity range Low to Max. You have a 1 in 4 chance to get max usually.
    So you have properties you do not want and values that are not Max

    Here are what I made in 5 tries.



    Welcome to reforging.

    What you look for is 150 Luck.  The other property does not matter.

    If you get that, put it aside and save for imbuing.
    Fully powder any item you want to imbue.

    Use this link and choose item and custom.  You have 450 total points to use.
    https://www.knuckleheads.dk/tools/imbuing/armor

    You can still imbue 2 or 3 things onto these.  You can imbue the 20 LRC.

    After you get your Luck and LRC and are finished imbuing you can enhance it using this page info:
    https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/items/material-bonuses/

    USE YOUR FORGED METAL OF ARTIFACTS TOOL

    You are using leather so you can enhance with Spined.
    You will receive 40 More Luck  and 9 more physical resist on that piece.

    Welcome to crafting

    Putting just Luck and LRC is not that difficult.  It just takes many attempts.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    90 charge kits are the big cost.  You can make BODs and get the min charges or buy on VS.

    Plain leather is something you should have.  Then the tool costs $ from the store.

    Can you reforge LRC greater than 20?  I have made a few Luck/LRC suits and a lot of LRC suits and I have never gotten more than 20 LRC.

    Why only 4 piece suit @ popps
    Frodo, I might be wrong, but I seem to recall the option given under extremely rare circumstances. I never needed to imbue more than 20% so never took the choice. Just can not recall what those circumstances were.

    @Pawain

    Thanks for the great and very usefull write up...

    One part which you did not address, or that I could not at least notice, is the Resistances...

    I am in need to come up with, across the 4 pieces I need to craft,

    - 57 Physical Resistance
    - 61 Fire Resistance
    - 60 Cold Resistance
    - 55 Poison Resistance
    - 52 Energy Resistance

    That makes 285 Resistances split across 4 pieces which makes it 71.25 total resistances per piece..

    Is that flat out impossible, or can it be done with 190 Luck and 15-20 LRC on each piece ?

    My original requirement of LRC across these 4 pieces is no longer 90% LRC but, rather, 70% LRC as I was able to recover 20% LRC somewhere else...

    So, those 4 pieces that I need to craft would need to some 2 x 20% LRC and 2 x 15% LRC.

    Since, after enhancing, the total resists on a piece is 45, how do I bring them on each piece to average 71.25 total resistances ?

    Since, after enhancing, the total resists on a piece is 45, how do I bring them on each piece to average 71.25 total resistances ?
    There are many great tools that can help knuckleheads imbuing calculator etc your parameters being so vague make it impossible for anyone to give you a solid answer 
    Acknowledgment and accountability go a long way...
