Recipe: _plate_ bracer mold, distilled lizard blood, 1 sheet of metal

On the bright side, I'm now 10/10 on tae ew chain armor, so I don't feel too bad about wasting a couple bloods on this.

[Menion]

Wow, that's pretty sucktastic.

I sense great enthusiasm now that you know the rewards for all your farming :?

It's a little better than Artificer's chain (barbarian cultural). It's not super duper though. You might sell a few here and there. And it might be an upgrade for a number of people, since good chain bracers aren't necessarily easy to come by.

Rangers and rogues would probably prefer the Silver Chitin Wristband, AC 15 str+7 dex+7 hp+40, which is significantly cheaper than what tae ew chain tunics and leggings have been selling for.

That leaves shamans as the only people who might be interested, and I'd probably prefer a bracelet of fortitude, which costs roughly the same as the tae ew chain tunic/leggings (on the market). I suppose if a shaman needed a cheaper bracer for himself, he could make one of these, but I don't expect to see much in the way of sales to other people.

Maybe it'll sell based on being the first one ever made...hmm, probably not.

While I'm not a professional shaman or anything, I currently wear chains of the accused and an arctic wyvern wristband on my shaman's wrist. I wouldn't swap either out for that bracer and I probably paid much less than the retail price for the mana vial you need for the temper for either of those.

[Quinner Sparrowhawk]

As a Shaman currently wearing 2 Arctic Wristbands, I wouldn't trade 1 of them for 2 of these Tae Ew Bracers. I don't need the AC and the HP and Mana I can get from other slots freed up by the Wis I get from the Arctic.

Are you smoking crack?

Artificers is AC 12 +5 wis +30 hp +30 mana +5 sv all.

Anyone shaman who would wear a Tae Ew bracer over that is nuts.

[Glatius2]

Nice way to disagree Zhorn, I really apperciate the crack remark. :?

[Zacatac]

Depends on how much you charge for them I'd guess. But any of those UP bracers will probably win out over this one.
With 12ac, +6 to all saves and +15 (something), it's hard to beat. I know the shaman like +15 wis, rangers too, or +15 STA/STR/DEX for rangers and rogues.

My friend wears the +15 Wis on 1 wrist and the HoT/SS one on the other-

No one offends my Cultural armor..... AND LIVES!!! MUAHAHA

But yes, the smoking crack comment was uncalled for.

[Grug]

I am a shaman and equip an up bracer and the jbb but this is not a bad bracer for a pre 50s shaman. The AC is quite nice and before PoP or Can V AC > HP or Wis.

I just like to smoke crack . A lot of people have jumped on the hp bandwagon without understanding why. AC is still very nice for damage mitigation until you start getting to exp zones where the mobs attack rating is so high that you cant reasonable equip the AC required to mitigate. This would be a great bracer for a twink shaman.

[Zhorn]

It would be a nice pre-50's shaman bracer IF it wasn't level 51 restricted

Shame Artificers is level 45 restricted or there might be a nice phat twink market for it!

Umbral Planes +15 WIS or STA bracers are nice, until your stats get pushed over 255 and you get diminishing returns on STA (not so sure what happens to WIS over 255 - but I assume less mana per point).

I am having to re-evaluate a few gear choices now that's happening to me.
I.e. swap out some STA/WIS gear for more raw HP/Mana.
