Merc's scalecrafting topic

Just posting up what I'm in need of for some scalesets that I'm working on o3o.. Component wise that is.
(an X indicates what components have been obtained)

Head, 2x wing, 2x hindleg, tail and back scales.
will possibly drop the headscale, due to it being possible to put jewelry crystals in them in the near future.
All these resist scales will be having tooth and claw techs aswell, with exception of the blight+flame resist scales. Those will not be having strength techs.

Slash resist: completed

Blight+flame resist:
X14 Fiery Dire Wolf Fang
14 Veteran Abomination Chest Skull
14 veteran Skeleton Sternum
X14 Dire Wolf Fang
X14 Giant Ice Beetle Mandible

Crush resist:
14 Mithril Golem Fragment
14 Grey Necrofly Wing
14 Purple Spider Venom
14 Emerald Golem Chip
X14 Dire Wolf Fang
X14 Giant Ice Beetle Mandible

Pierce resist:
28 Purple Spider Venom
14 Emerald Golem Chip
X14 Dire Wolf Fang
X28 Giant Ice Beetle Mandible

Energy Resist:
14 icy dire wolf fang
14 kwellen energy node
14 Purple Spider Venom
14 Emerald Golem Chip
X14 Dire Wolf Fang
X14 Giant Ice Beetle Mandible

Thinking of having some more resist scales too. And ofcourse crafting scales. That's alot of scalesets >_>

Decided to think about crafting scales aswell. Afterall, they are needed when one wants to actually gain decent amounts of t5 and t6 resources. I could be wrong, but to me, this seems to be the most useful scalesetup to make. Haven't really through about transmutation/alchemy scales yet though, if they're even needed anymore with all the t6 resource nodes that are being added. Blue Vexators. ergh.

Dunno if it'd help you any, but if you wanted to off one'a those sets you might consider a setup like what I'll put below. Would save some trouble of having to switch sets too.


Spellcraft - essence shaping - essence harvesting

Stoneworking - gemworking - quarrying

That'll get ya opt at just about all'a thoe. It's impossible to be opt at processing t6 anyway, so not much to worry about there.

And yeah, just forget transmuting scales, they're not needed.

If you want to be opt at t6 tricuts though a set of power scales with gemworking - dexterity - focus yould do ya good, along with a claw and a few t6/t5 stat crystals.
