So my conversation about yellow dopants got me thinking, and since I'm already on a flower-sniffing life anyway, I'm trying to put together a list of every greensteel item a character should have for the long road to completionist.

I have, so-far:

Weapons -

-Mineral II Greataxe
-Lightning II Greatsword
Lightning II Longbow
-Triple Positive Bastard Sword
-Triple Positive Khopesh
-Lightning II Khopesh
-Mineral II Repeating Heavy Crossbow
-Radiance II Repeating Heavy Crossbow

Gear -

-Mineral II Helm
-"Resistance-Salad" necklace
-Concordant Opposition Belt
-Concordant Opposition Cloak
(I have a belt and a cloak not because they stack but because I need to slot the same thing in multiple places, never where them both at the same time)

There are one or two other bits and pieces(my first greensteel was a Steam II repeater... I also made a triple pos light repeater for... I don't know why, but its in the cache).

Anyway, I am trying to put together a list of must-haves to cover most use-case scenarios(since a finished green steel consumes less inventory space than 4 shards )

I'm not talking about highly specific build-style bits, here, but more general "this is something you should just have"-type equipment. Like the MinII greataxe: just a generally really great, general-purpose axe.

Ya I have the concord opp cloak with hp's, and gloves for sp. and then min II weapon or weapons .. bout all I needed.

I have 2 blurry hp items on my monk, belt and boots in addition to minIi helm, some gear setups mean its easier to slot heavy fort than get blurry.
also have a set of balence of land and sky goggles for a swap in reflex item.

Cloak seems to be the one spot most available. Devs just haven't made a worthy cloak in ages. All other spots are potentially sacrificing very good end-game gear.

Wolf cloak. On every single "dps" toon.
I have had mineral hp belt on my "primary" melee gimp for years ( since Junts' pally writeups lol ).
Con opp on cloak but don't really wear it, you have what, 65 ac in Sands these days, plus million displaces, you just don't get hit in heroics.
I replace it at cap with Battleragers.
Lit khops, lit falchion, triple pos maul and warhammers.

I wouldn't do GS on helm ( Black ) or eyes ( Tharnes ).

That exists? I've never seen it drop.

A Radiance Rapier is great for a thief in heroic levels, specially if you soloing and don't get sneak attack

I must have stopped caring before they fixed it? I remember an option to upgrade, but no option to buy. That, or I have completely fabricated those memories. You'd think it would stick out more clearly from that time the vendor was so generous....

If I were going to do a rogue life I'd do 6 artificer/6 ranger/8 rogue and just use my Radii repeater. Maybe not even bother with the ranger levels and do like 6/14, either way I'd be repeatering instead of stabbing

Maybe I'm lazy at crafting, but I have 2 completionists, 1 has a min 2 weapon, a 3x positive weapon, a 3x neg accessory, and a con opp accessory. The other one just has a con opp accessory and a min 2 accessory.

Of course, all of these were a lot bigger deal back in the day. I can't even be bothered to farm out the shards nowadays.

radiance is still pretty good cc for bigger groups of mobs. tho deception working even on rednames is pretty cool:)
