Hey, is it just me or is it… unwise to craft rare jewelery? Seeing as it needs ectoplasm anyway I might as well craft exotic?

Am I missing something? Sure it needs orbs but they are easily craftable from lower level tier gems.

It’s much easier to get mithril, 3 crystals, and 3 ecto than to get orichalcum, 5 orbs, and 5 ecto… and the stats aren’t extremely different from rare to exotic.

But yeah, I do see your point and I have only ever crafted 1 piece of rare mithril jewelry and that was to level my Jewelry crafting from 380 to 400. I have crafted many many pieces of Exotic Jewelry, and sold all but 5 that were for my own character.

If you have the ecto, it’s not unwise. If your broke,then I would stick with the rare version, but that goes for armor and weapons as well. I woudl focus on armour first, but if you have full exotic armour and 1-2 exotic weapons, then it makes sense, to know you have the best of the best in jewelry to top it all off. At this point, I have different versions of exotic jewelry, for magic find, and for crit damage.

There is absolutely no point in crafting the rare pieces requiring 3 orbs & ecto when the exotic only needs 5. Orbs can be transmogrified from lower level gems, and Orichalcum is a 100% drop rate once you locate the current position of the nodes in Malchor’s, Cursed Shore and Frostgorge.

Anyone who tells you the 3&3 rare versions are worth making are probably the same people selling items for < material value yet believe they are still making money.

yep i agree. though if you really need some jewelries, just the mastercraft will do, like, say, for Magic find ones :P

Don’t disturb me, I have a cat in me at the moment.
