Guide to Crafting in Amalur

[Heiligkekse]

Will this work for armor too? If so, will it work with Epic gems? (I doubt it, but that would be awesome.)

This is guide is pretty much money. I've been utilizing these same steps on my own and crafted some pretty ridiculous gear.

Also, are there some gems this won't work with? I've been trying for at least an hour trying to get a +30 Physical Damage Fulcrum and I can't do it. I was able to get a +7 Chance to Critical Hit Rivets on my 2nd try.

I'm pretty sure that there are limitations on what Gems you will get the bonus from. I know I was never able to get a 30% armor bonus on any components when using the requisite gem and I reloaded many, many times to try. I believe there are a couple web pages out there with people that have tested and posted preliminary results. Not sure what website though.

I went ahead and crafted my Faeblades using a Master Damaging Fulcrum (+22 Physical Damage), and when I salvaged my old Faeblades they gave me a Flawless Damaging Fulcrum.

It works with Armor too, just that I liked my armor sets giving +4 to finesse so didn't bother crafting too much armor. Notice that some of the components I mentioned can be got through armor. I think Epic Gems' stats don't carry over, as there is no matching component with that gem's stats, but then I think I did craft one item with Epic gem stats. Am working on compiling a list of ALL components and gems, will add it once done.

BTW, as part of Scholia Arcania quests you go into 3 different elemental dungeons. If you save it till you're in mid30s, you will get some master and flawless components from disarming mines. Note that it is random, so mileage may wary.

EDIT:

One trick that I try if not getting good components is that I salvage some useless gear and then salvage my crafted one. It "seems" to improve chances of getting better components, though many times I ended up getting good components from seemingly useless gear.

Isn't that always the way it happens?

Those are really nice stats. Though for Bow I'd go for more damage than Crit chance coz charged shots ALWAYS crit. Your Faeblades are higer end version of ones I made at around Level20, called them Venomous Leech, only I used Poison damage increase instead of flame. Didn't need to use any potion after that.

Glad I could help and nice of you to create an account just to let me know, much appreciated.
