Limmir's rings question

#1 Post by jenx »

When Limmir creates a ring, can he ever create one with three gems of the same sort? I've tried about 20 times to give him +5 nad +4 stat rings, in the hope he'll produce a +14 stat ring. I've also tried +10 and +8 damage to try for +28 damage, and the same for resists. But this never happens. Is it just my bad luck?

Just bad luck it sounds like. Frumple's always talking about +14 and +28% rings in IRC.

Rats. Have to keep trying. Why are they so !@#$!# expensive? Every character now, I have to get Gems talent tree and pump 10 generic points into to extract and imbue gems. Seems like a waste of time and points.

Um, if you're doing that just to optimise your rings then yeah, it's a waste of time and points. Think of how those generic points could improve your char in other ways. The results of the jewellery making are at the whim of the RNG, and you should be more accepting of what you get :P

Jenx, I actually think that's an awfully interesting approach.

It might surprise the designer of the tree that you have thought of that. And with the new might of shop-bought equipment, as well as the arrival of gold-based talents in general, it potentially could be a useful approach if it nets you lots of money.

I really need to take that tree sometime and mess around with it on a fun character who doesn't need to focus.
