Spell penetration gear problem

Print Post  
Hey all

Currently using spell pen III from some belt from GH.  Thunderholme has spell pen VII but unfortunately  I am using Quarterstaff.

Would like to know if spell pen V or greater items are available in glass/ring/boot slot.

Appreciate your help!

Only other upgrade I can find quickly looking through on the wiki is Sage's Cuffs and unfortunately those are bracers, and even then those are +4 spell pen

That page is out of date. Spell penetration isn't prefixed that way anymore.

You might as well provide a link to a Superior Potency VI item.

You should try using your fist instead. It works for me.  Cheesy

Don't think you will find what you're looking for ...

I'm pretty sure there are no +6 or higher spell penetration items besides the thunderholme weapons.
There are +5 Spell pen random generated weapons though.

+4: http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Sage%27s_Cuffs_(Level_26)

NOTDarth stated it nicely already, but you should really consider making 2 sticks instead of 1 staff (1 with +7 spell pen and 1 with +6 necro or whatever Wink)

Making two sticks instead of 2 hander for any arcane that might care about spell pen is probably the dumbest advice you can give. Good job.

3 or 4 random stick or 7 Ideals is enough.
For levelling ( EE drow ) if you don't already have 6 -9 spell pen from past lives, you can twist Echoes of the Arcane, or spell pen from Magister. Or be in Magister.
There is also 3 spell pen in Sunelf/Elf racial tree.

Spell pen is not a big deal at cap.

Amidst the murky waters of the vault is a gem.

Pen is only situationally useful, and what Encair has posted sums it up. Also, the pen that is needed is stupid, so it isn't even really worth it to try. Just use web, and bring a pet barbarian.

What's up with the swastika?

Don't know if I'm more worried about the presence of it or the fact that no one else brought it up.

Swastika and that Hitler avatar dude I try to ignore.
I would not respond usually, telling such person doesn't have any effect really. Probably dumber than a bag of hammers.

I doubt Strake cares much either. Probably would get ridiculed/moderated in the earlier days. Fuck it now.
You can always Adblock it.

I m from India. Swastika is an auspicious symbol that has been used since 2500 BC over here. It means well-being / lucky charm.

While Hitler really did want the lucky charm, the swastika which Nazis used were different in terms of geometry and angles used.

Anyways, thnx for the replies, guess only option is to get random gen loot.

Glad it's not being used in a racist way, although it completely comes off as being racist if it isn't being accompanied by a lengthy explanation.

I guess the motivation to use it as an avatar is to get those opportunities (like the one in this thread) to expound knowledge when people raise a stink about it. Well worth it, I guess...?

Anyway, different angles and different historical meanings or not, the symbol almost universally means something very different now, and the meaning that people perceive is the one that counts. Think of it like growing a Hitler mustache. Even if you tell people it's actually a Charlie Chaplin mustache, it doesn't really fly.

Or, as has been pointed out on this forum before, you are just a douche who likes baiting people and/or having this conversation.  If that's not the case, maybe try using a more stylized version, or one that's not rotated 45 degrees, or one that's not "right facing", etc, etc. i.e. don't use one that's exactly like the one the Nazis used.

But then again, I already know I'm wasting my time.  Douche.
