LdoN combine question

[Grimsoul]

Do you have to have the LDoN expansions to do the combines?
Or is there a certain forge you have to use ?

A friend gave me some goblin bones and I made the temper with no problem but when I tried to do the Calcified Ringmail Gorget combine it I got a message saying I couldn't like you would if trying to do a racial combine in a normal forge.

I was using one of the forges in PoK but I don't have the expansion yet.

Please list what you used. You could have simply gotten the recipe wrong.

[Grimsoul]

I followed the receipe listed here .

And after it wouldn't combine I rechecked what I had with that list several times.

But I play on Test Server so it might just be some bug there. You never know on Test

Try taking out the Superb Leather Padding and see if that works. I honestly don't remember that being in there, though I haven't personally tried the chain recipes yet. After all, if the temper works for you without LDoN, the smithing ones should too.

Re-edit: Yes, definitely take out the Superb Padding. It's not supposed to be there.

[Grimsoul]

Leaving out the Superb Padding worked.

Thank you for you help


And the Calcified Ringmail Gorget is trival with a 202 skill. I'll give some of the others a try and sii if I can get a skill jump from them.

All of the chain should be trivial by the time you hit 188 or so, due to the Plate starting to trivial soon after. If you want skill ups, try Plate.

Calcified mail is trivial at 168. I'd be willing to bet it's ALL trivial at 188.

That seems to be the consensus -- all the mail trivials below 188.

I just finished Edition 5 of the Economical Smith; in there I recommend staying entirely away from ringmail for skilling. Save those tempers for the plate. (For those of you who have Edition 4 and don't want to download all 97 pages of the new guide, I have just a LDoN supplement available for download as well).
