Hello Everybody,

I've been a bit obsessed with finding utility items, as I play a Disciple as my primary role in Vanguard I've basically got nothing to work with and well, there's a wonderful group of items that not every crafter has bothered to spend the time familiarizing themselves with... so I decided to do a write-up.

So far, I have most of the details pounded out, but further information would of course be wonderful.

I'd like to give a shout out to Florendyl's Finest: Zerion, Eleyn, Tempo, Skallan, Jakin, Moonblaze, Kaede & Jondar, all whom patiently dealt with the crafting involved to give you the results that I've been able to collect. Thanks again!

The information isn't 100%, but I've been sitting on a 90% complete set of data for nearly 3 weeks now, so it's time to push it out the door and hopefully folks will feel like offering up anything I may have missed.

----

Notes:

Each charm has a number provided beside it, (2)-(5)-(30). This number represents the cool-down timer (minutes) that is activated by this charm. The cool-down of charms is interconnected between any charms that have an identical cooldown, For example you couldn't use see-invis followed immediately by invis to undead because they both work on the 2-minute timer. You can however activate one from each of the three cool-downs in the same period of time, one from 2-minute and one from 5-minute would work without having to wait.

Also, Orange segments are educated guesses at best, please feel free to provide confirmation.

For those of you who are having trouble finding "DISTILLED" (Not to be confused with pure, tainted or dark) Orbs and Spheres: You can find these via Common/Uncommon Item Dust Decon and occasionally from Work Order Rewards.

This looks to be quite handy - thanks for putting in the effort to make this I'd really been wondering what a lot of my runes would do ....

You might not want to call it "Crafted Charms", though, since there are crafted items in the game called charms (Harvest Charm being the common one, and then four elemental charms at a higher level - all seems to start from a quest out of Khal).

Kilim — May 20th, 2007, 11:34 AM

Awesome!

Due to me not having any of the Talisman recipes as a 40lv Leatherwokrer.

I am hoping you can provide the following so I can also add them in my Leatherworker Guide worksheet.

Divineone — May 21st, 2007, 10:48 AM
