Great video, thanks. I'd also recommend the Jade Ring from Walk The Butchers Path. Min lvl 1, resistance +1, and a colorless augment slot, perfect to slot The Masters Gift for a TRing toon.
I crafted myself an underwater action gogs I found with 2 slots so i slapped a res augment next to the gift. My only problem with low level gear that can sport the master's gift is they tend to break on a higher level environment, especially on melees.
Nice video. For the Keep on the Borderlands mounts, you'll want to go back at level 20 to get a fast mount. They have 100% movement speed vs. 80%, which matches the speed of all other mounts in the game and will keep you from falling behind the rest of your party. For that, you'll need another 15 Quall Feather Tokens to get another mount certificate (don't add it to your stable though!) and an Enchanted Horseshoe, which is a rare drop in epic level chests in quests in the Borderlands. If you run in a party and let them know you're farming tokens and horseshoes, most players will be more than happy to pass them to you.
Might want to add a note the mysterious remnants only drop if the quest is equal or greater level then the lower player in the group. If the lowest player is 20 and you run reaper quest that brings it to 19 no remnants will drop.
One other tip - if you run Waterworks, there is always a shield that is mithril as one of the reward items. You can craft a nice mithril shield from it.
The boots with 2x exp retreat and the necklace with 2x mnemonic enhancement plus the cloak with 1x Feather fall are all super useful and the easiest items in the world to get. Just run Korthos quests. Also Axeblock bracers are really good.
In *Kind Of A Big Deal* also look for *Steelweave Shinguards* 25% Striding 17% Electric absorption 15% Electric resistance In *Death House* get the *Flightfoot Greaves* for Freedom Of Movement
One thing you haven't really covered is how many times one should roughly expect to run a quest in order to find named loot. For example, I've run Back to Basics in Saltmarsh 5 times today trying to get the Saltiron Docent. Does my Character's level impact the loot that I'm likely to get?
For named items, the only influencers I know of are quest difficulty and whether or not you are using an elixir of discovery. Here are the probabilities depending of quest difficulty: Normal: 10%, Hard: 16%, Elite: 33%. For Reaper difficulty you get an extra 1% boost per skull. There are Elixirs of Discovery that can boost those percentages by 5%, 10%, or 15%. To my knowledge they are usually only perchasable during certain sales and on gold daily dice rolls.
@@MysticMical So my chance of pulling a Skull of the Sea out of Rare encounter chest is only ever going to be 10%? Really wish I'd spent my DDO points on Keep on the Borderlands instead now. Having a mount to go from rare encounter to rare encounter sure would be nice.
@@daxirons4376 I'll be fully homest, Im not sure if its the same 10% drop chance or higher. I can believe it to be since usually half the rare encounters spawn. Definitely recommend Keep when you get the DDO points, mounts are definitely a lifesaver in explorer areas.
Actually getting a clicky on an armor for the blurry is the worst idea ever cause it takes time to equip and you can have better options... Wind bracers from cannith challenges give you a PERMANENT blurry lvl 3. Bottle of Smoke (trinket) from The Home of Memory gives you also a PERMANENT blurry lvl 3.
I don't know why some people like deathward clicky, why bother with that. So much good gear comes with deathward or lifesealed that is on all the time, passively, no need for clickity clickies.
Deathblock vs Lifesealed vs Deathward Deathblock: Protects against insta death efffects such as Finger of death, implosion, and vorpals. Lifesealed is a greater Deatblock which also negates a percentage of negative energy damage. This does reduce the negative healing for undead players. Deathward is the greatest of the three and protects you from insta death effects, Negative Energy such as Harm & Inflict Wounds Spells and Negative Levels such as from Energy Drain & Enervation which give negative levels and stats. It also, according to the wiki "block the Strength Damaging effects of various Umbral creatures on-hit" which can insta kill once you hit 0 Str. Good for hardcore. So, if mostly just worried about insta death, deathblock will do just fine. I particularly like the clicky cause it is one less thing I have to gear tetris and their isn't an easy purchasable augment. It is dispellable though so the deathblock on an item against beholders is nicer.
I've played DDO since before Gianthold. Due to my hiatuses you have done me a good service by sharing your lore. Thank you Mical! Now do more!!!! ;-)
Definitely planning to! Thank you for the supportive words
I’ve been playing DDO for 13 years and this video had some items that were new to me.

Nice video dude 👍😎
Cursed Blade of Jack Jibbers…Quiver of Alacrity…Royal Guard Mask are my top 3 🤍 Happy New Year Mical and puppy!
We will definitely hit those three! Happy New Year friend.
Oh. The Goggles of Time-Sending are a super good low level item too.
Never knew about these, awesome share, thank you!
@@MysticMical sensing obviously. Lol dang auto correct!

Thats cool to know!
Keep up the good work! Have to have that Jibbers blade.
I have farmed for that for years and still have not been lucky enough to have it drop for me. :(

Missed opportunity to mention anger's step as discount giyar boots. But maybe that was left out because everyone will encounter those on korthos.
Hah! When you get back into ddo and find yourself commenting on a video you commented on a year and a half ago 😅
Angers Step definitely is a good discounted Giyars, especislly for people that dont have the pack

doggo had the zoomies!
Didn't know about the blur one, will get it for sure

Puppy!
Dog was awesome
For free account can get that's?
Most of the content is purchased with DDO points, the completely free items include the Protection Gloves and Mysterious Remnants.
My bro, you need the gold key for the gird chest. Those two chests are fine but not GH good. :)
Should have researched more, wiki says its the green key. Thanks bro
nice
Like for the dog! XD
First?
Edit : Apologies, but I'm never early enough to get it. Got it out of my system now. :D
First enough that its still processing HD :P
@@MysticMical that was how I noticed I was early. I tried to up the resolution and couldn't
Yep, a lesson learned
