Easy way of getting a topaz of deathblock?

So I'm trying to slot some cannith crafting gear and I was wondering if there's an easy way of getting a topaz of deathblock? According to DDO wiki it's not sold by any vendors. Is the list complete/is there another way to easily obtain one or do I have to loot/store purchase one?

Meh, I usually have a policy of not giving them money for stuff like that (yes I do buy mirrors of glammering shut up :p) but if it's only 50 tp i can see myself making an exception. No other ingame way?

I can't remember a reliable way. IIRC it's quickest to earn the TP and buy.

Or maybe random ML8 augments from turn-ins? Never tried myself, easier to find 50TP than all those collectables (if you've not duped in the past).

I thought deathblock was ML 12 so those trade ins wouldn't work. Also if i'm going to try for random i might as well buy the thing I guess

Easiest way is to find someone who has 100 of them and who trusts you, and ask for one.

Either i'm really blind or topaz of deathblock does not get sold by a trader, but as Sim said, i'll ask around and if nobody has one i'll cough up 50 tp.

That's odd. Pretty sure I got mine from The Twelve. When they were introduced.

Toon without easy access to deathward, specifically in beholder heavy quests. Also I just like to have all my resistances covered.

Long before NewCC was even a whisper I played the augment lottery with piles of non-duped collectables on multiple vendors, until I dropped below the point where I could buy another roll.  I never got one that wasn't on the list that you could buy with shards.

I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.

I remember trading collectibles for augments when it wasn't a lottery. Don't know how I got Deathblock if it wasn't that. Probably off the AH, then.

Yes, the AH, not the ASAH. Get off my lawn.

Slotting it somewhere seems easier as I tend to forget gear swaps untill I rolled a one on my saving throw (or untill I get kicked out of ToD in the end fight....)

Deathblock is available on every armor. You just need to know how to upgrade it.

Interesting, guess I'll go spend some time experimenting in the crafting hall. Thanks for the heads up.
EDIT: Unless you mean the US thing, in that case I had no idea that still worked.

But not at ML 12.

Meanwhile, ML 1 Deathblock items are still dropping, and Deathblock is craftable. And none of this makes it provide the most useful function of Deathward: protection from level-drain, one of the most annoying and boring features still left over from the old lose-actual-xp-from-dying days of DDO.

Other things being equal, Deathblock is meh. A distant, not-quite-adequate compromise on a build that isn't tin. Better than leaving that augment slot empty, but worse than that if it makes you think you can get by without Deathward.

Opinion: Not Worth TP, or time. Buy for plat. Get from friend who found a bunch that fell off a truck.

I wholeheartedly agree, After playing with a melee build without easy access to deathward (have fun with pots and your eternal flask of deathward against beholders) you can easily stack 8-16 negative levels in 10 seconds in quests like acute delirium. The best part is if you get sniped with a beam getting 4 negative levels instantly... Wonderfull game design.
