The Death Knight Shirt needs an ability/stats that are not similar to the Arcanum shirt. It needs to feel different. One option would be "Immune to Retribution Damage" this would make it slightly better than the Shirt of Shielding because it is part of the set, and makes it a shirt that folks would wear depending on the module. If this is too weak you could maybe even put a +1 str on it.

do you think that would give it enough to be helpful to the Vols ? ( Charm )

I would buy one, but that is only a data set of one, so take it with a grain of salt.

I do think if the proposed changes go through folks are going to be looking for as much of these stats as possible, and so far there aren't a lot of items to chose from and many of the ones that do exist are expensive Eldest/Elder Orb of Dragonkind for example.

Can’t argue with those kind of numbers. I would have to agree with you on it being from those 3. A pick one + 2 ?

I think so, but another option would be a +3 in one, and make it a multiyear set. My only concern is that would limit the number of folks interested in the token.

If you mean + 3 of 1 of those 3, for 3 years, each year moving to one not done yet, and then at the end of the 3rd year / start of the 4th year allowing a transmute path to + 3 WIS / INT / CHA or + 2 to all 3 ? It deff would appeal to our mystical 1/2. I’m not sure in Ranger uses these much, Paladin uses CHA, I think Bard uses them as well… but out main melee players would not be unless collecting. Unfortunately I don’t have the data to show its relevance across 3 years in a volunteer UR slot. Maybe one of the others more experienced players can lend there expertise? Any volunteers? How would this affect your year to year from what you really “ need “ out of them in order to make it at least a wash from some of the financial parts of volunteering? I know y’all don’t do it for money, but I do know some golems that don’t play at all. But they love volunteering in order to sell to make extra money for a gaming business or just to help in a con. My biggest concern is that a multi could run risks of not giving y’all the value, and once a 3 year ( or what’s decided ) transmute starts, it’s gonna take a few years to complete, which means if it doesn’t bring what y’all want…. Is it something that can/will be abandoned. Or, is it: once we move on it, it must be completed no matter the outcome ?

I like this.

Just to throw out another mad idea.

What would people think about the shirt (since its probably going to be the less lucrative of the two) having a transmute path with a recipe like 4 UR DK shirts = 1 Relic DK belt or something similar.


I know something like that would increase their value for me at least.

I liked the idea that Fred posted about a tabard. I can see a transmute path where maybe it becomes slotless, but it still feels a bit niche. It is a very hard slot to drum up interest at the UR level, considering how new the Arcanum shirt is. Kind of like trying to print leg slots shortly after Dungeon Bane was completed (looking at you Pants of the Panther ).

Thanks everyone! I made changes to the Beads and Charms. I am leaving the Volunteer charms boosted -- but still below this year's Beads.

Should "Bead of Freya" be "Bead of Freyja" to match the spelling from "Scroll Freyja's Kiss" and "Necklace of Freyja" ?

Yep! Good catch.
