All you who runs this site deserves all the best life can give, you are truly the best people And the same to all you who spend so much time, energy and effort to post here and help people in need or in search for answers. A million kudos to all you!!! And yes, the build moves and evolves and shapes up to become a living thing in it self. Sometimes I stray a bit to test out new things (for me at least) but in the end I can't help but coming back to it. There's so much fun and power in it. Last thing I tried out was the lightsabre Dryad and sure, it works fine enough, now that Flix was so kind as to point me to the proper setup for it. But once again I felt that irresistable urge to switch over to ranged fighting, and so I'll let her rest for a bit and continue with my ranged SW.

Thx @Flix that is really good news, I had missed that little gold nugget. I'll try that and see how it works.

I found a few unique ones on my way, but now they are not good enough. But finding a low one with 2 sockets is hard (not counting the dmg converter one). Most have only 1, if any. But I'm only lvl 8 so far, maybe they will come at lvl 10. Sometimes I feel really stupid. I had the idea that one could make a melee dryad based on the intelligenceboost from Acute Mind, just like the lightsabre SW. So I picked up some lightsabres and got surprised when their dmg didn't increase with the boost. Damn... the lightsabres are based on Willpower now. Ok, all is not lost yet, I thought, and switched over to magic staffs instead. And sure, the boost worked fine. And you do get a chance to do splash dmg on Ravaged Impact in the Gold mod. Lovely I thought and went out to whack some kobolds. The chance is a lot lower than for the SW though, only 50% plus 1% per CA level. What I had not counted on is that staffs shoot if you're not in melee range. So you can't rightclick on a target a bit away and expect the toon to run up to it and smack it melee, like you can do with the SW. So it gets more of a ranged staff shooter with a chance to splash on hit. But I guess I'll give it a go for a while and feel it out. It is a bit annoying to have to cast Acute Mind all the time though, so... we'll see. Edit: Dang... that down of the site scared the crapola out of me... I was just submitting this text above and BOOM I was getting this "Account Suspended" sign. It was like my whole meaning of life just disappeared. The colors of the world turned black and white, all joy turned into sorrow and there was just this big hole of uncertainty and hopelessness that grew bigger and threatened to swallow the whole universe. Edit2: I found a lvl 4 1-hand staff with 3 sockets, so now I can really put the whole thing to a test. Wohoo... Still sucks to cast Acute Mind every 55 seconds though, but at least it's better than the vanilla timer.

Another off-topic question. I have happened to buy a Unicorn as well as the lizard, and now the call button is marked for the unicorn and I can't call the lizard. Do anyone know a way to change the call-button from unicorn to lizard (I.e. horse to special mount)?

If I may suggest... Bennys Corn Circle quest. Always drops a lightsabre, and it's closer to home than the above. Takes a bit of running, but there are just lowly Kobolds there and one or two wolves.

Yes, it is from bronze. And while we are on the subject of lvl 10 weapons... do you think the same principles apply to blowpipes? I have a lvl 97 Dryad and I have big trouble finding blowpipes that match her level. The best I have is about 220 dmg, which is very little compared to other weapons at that lvl. So I was thinking maybe try and find a lvl 10 with sockets instead and see if that is better.

And after a run in Gold I was rewarded with a relic with mf. The possibility is that only relics from Gold and above has the mf added. If anyone else has managed to get mf from bronze or silver, pls say so. Another run to Ice Lord in Gold gave a relic with mf.

Thx friend and bear in mind that the staccato hits are just while being on the mount. He's even more effective on foot with that boomstick. When he is high on "killing spree" he moves almost as fast as when mounted too

Sure... 11550 is the id.

Ahh that explains it then. Yes, that's quite a long walk to farm a ring. Luckily it can drop from ordinary mobs too. I'm gonna do a testrun to the Ice-Lord without chea.. ahem.. enhanced armor and see how that goes. Hmm... ranged lore... actually I never thought about that for this toon. He was all about testing out the Demonic Blow with the Deathchill aura. I've been using the boomstick more as a support for taking out pesky ranged types. I like the splash dmg and double hit from the lightsabre, but relying on that alone means to run around like a mouse on steroids. With the boomstick you can reduce the running around a bit, but it works better on foot than mounted. So far the boomstick has worked well without taking the Ranged Lore, but it's early days still and maybe it will be lacking oompf later on. I'm close to lvl 50 now and I'll make a backup savegame to revert to if I later find that I should have taken it.

Hahh just my luck to get a crappy one. Yes I did get it from the questgiver. This is in Silver. I'll go there again in a multiplayer game and see if he does it again. Btw, I went to the Octalagmus in a mp-game to see if it drops more Jotuns rings, but he doesn't. Maybe it's the same with the Elemental Lords. We'll see soon. Edit: So I did the Lord again, and was rewarded with another relic, just like the one below, without mf. I think I've been cursed.

I have found lightsabres as low as lvl 2, and have atm 2 sabres at lvl 5 in my stash, so that can't be the case. They don't have more than 2 sockets though, 1 for the dmg-converter and 1 bronze or silver socket. The lowest lvl lightsabre with 3 sockets have been lvl 10 in my findings. Or maybe I read your statement wrong, and you meant that the minimum requirement for 3 sockets on a lightsabre is 10, in which case I totally agree.

I just went and got the relic after killing the IceLord, and sadly there was no mf on it, just the cold resist. I guess I won't bother with the other ones until Gold and above.

Pheww... my savegame got corrupted. But this time I had backups, so nothing was lost

Well, I'm built a bit different, so to speak, I like to test out a number of builds and find out what I like and what works before I try to go to the end with them. But I'm also not so patient and tend to tire when the grinding gets too... well... grindy The first toons I made with this ranged build in mind had some flaws in the setup and skill choices, so I retired them after a while. Some were shoppers, which was useful, but not as fun as I'd like. Then there was the one with no utility skills that worked very well, but got very little good drops and was useless for shopping. The most fun and at the same time somewhat efficient were the ones with EP, but then I felt like I wanted to try out the Astral tree options too. I mean, the Deathchill buff works SO well for the Demonic Blow skill and the lightsabres. It's a fun idea to list all my toons, their pros and cons and why I didn't go on with them, or just put them on hold, and I'll get on to doing that soon. In the mean time, meet my latest toon, Mr Sabretooth, who is a hybrid SW that uses Lightsabres for melee (Demonic Blow with Vehemence for the splash dmg) an energistic ranged weapon (Frenzied Rampage) and the buffs Deathchill and Grim Resilience. Mind you, this is a test toon to see how good dmg he can do, so he has armor with almost 100% all dmg mitigation. Once I reach Gold, I'll replace the armor with another, more authentic one without the über stats.
