    Interesting. Looks like Invulnerable Armor just like Armor of Haste is still bugged as per patch 1.04 according to Biowares official forum.

    So save your precious gems and essenses for something else guys!

    @Deadman:

    I agree with Umber Hulk armor allthough I usually save it for heavy shields... Since there is 6 Umber Hulk hides in game, more npc's can be equipped that way. But it is a matter of taste.

    Haven't found Golden Circlet, probably a random drop since it is in the toolset?

    What good is Invulnerable armor anyway? I doubt anyone attacking you by the time you could make it would be using normal, nonmagical weapons.

    I guess it could be good outside of the OC...

    @Blackthorne TA:

    Well the same argument goes for Armor of Haste too, I think.

    Since Sand, Grobnar and Qara can cast Haste, and you can stock up on Potions of Speed, the armor is a little obsolete IMHO.

    Besides that, I mentioned some nice Bracers you can buy in another topic here. Haste 4 times a day.

    But I just thought I would warn you guys against making those two kinds of armor since it is not fixed yet.

    I agree about the Armor of Haste; it would be different if it were a permanent effect.

    But at least Haste is useful; I doubt DR 10/magic would be very useful at all. DR 10/adamantine like the Stoneskin spell used to make it wolud have been better I think.

    Oh, and my previous question wan't meant to imply that you shouldn't have brought up the problem with the armor recipe; the question occurred to me because you brought it up.

    Yes, agreed.

    Haste is very useful, so useful that in IMHO Permanent Haste would be overpowered for the OC.

    DR 10/magic on the other hand is not very interesting I think. Not when you can make an armor with crit and sneak attack immunity, spell resistance or elemental resistance.

    I didn't think you implied anything. You came with a valued opinion :)

    Why was permanent haste removed in the patches ? I know it was overpowered but it's annoying to cast it. Does anyone know which file was altered by any of the NWN2 patches to convert the haste effect ? I plan on deleting the override file created by the patch and return the original haste effect.

    they've removed permanent haste on items but you can still persist it with the feat (eats up a lvl 9 slot though)

    i'm not a big fan myself, considering most of my party is usually spellcasters, so haste deosn't really help (except for the movement speed boost)

    IMHO sapphire is better used on +4 enchantments, while emerald +3 and diamond +2...

    Sapphires can not be used for +4 enchantments.

    But star sapphires can.

    And diamond used for +2 enchantments is a waste IMHO. Better to use those diamonds for Holy damage (2d6 vs Evil).

    Besides that you get a lot of diamonds and emeralds. For a two weapon fighter, it can be an interesting option, if one of the weapons are defending, I think.

    With regards to adding keen to a weapon does anyone know what spell and essence is required ? I know you need a ruby from Master Leo's post but need more info.

    Here you go:

    Keen: Doubles Threat Range
    Requires: Caster Level 10, Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat
    Ingredients: Weak Earth Essence, Ruby
    Spell: Lightning Bolt

    Be aware that keen doesn't stack with the feat Improved Criticals and a lot of monsters/enemies in the late parts of the game are immune to criticals/sneak attacks.

    Newsflash:

    As per patch 1.05, the recipes for Armor of Haste, Invulnerable Armor and Lucky Weapon still doesn't work.

    Armor of Haste still gets the Delayed Blast Fireball 3/day, and the recipes for Invulnerable Armor and Lucky Weapon does nothing.

    It looks like the recipe for Flaming Burst weapon works now.

    My favourite weapons in NWN2:

    Demonbane = holy + axiomatic + mass crit, in cold iron
    Devilslayer = anarchic + holy + mass crit in silver
    Cleansing Fire = holy + fire +5, in cold iron

    Holy Vampiric Flail, for lack of a better name = holy + greater life stealing, in adamantine

    I made this for Casavir:

    A +5 Holy Keen Scimitar. Doubling the Scimitar's critical range meant that Casavir dished out the damage big time.

    I made a falchion, EDIT: Darksteel, electrical, holy, massive criticals. It critted a lot, but best was the EDIT: Darksteel animation. I love the sound :shake:

    PS: I'm un-concentrated.

    I usually buy the Rift Hammer for Casavir:

    Special Properties
    Damage Bonus: Sonic [1d8]
    Enhancement Bonus [+ 6]

    Then I craft Holy Damage on it.

    The advantage is that it is the only +6 weapon in the game, sonic damage is not resisted by any enemy AFAIK and Casavir has Weapon Focus warhammers.

    Oh and as per patch 1.06 the following recipes are still bugged:

    Armor of Arrow Deflection, Armor of Haste, Invulnerable Armor, Lucky Weapon and Weapon of Speed.
