I selected an iconic character during character creation but didn't want to go exactly by the template. So, I told Elminster "I'll see you later" and went off to level different classes based on a template I'd thrown together. But this also meant that he didn't get any of his starter gear. I have plenty of stuff laying around in my shared bank to equip him, but I'm wondering if there's any way to get that starter gear back?

Me and a friend noticed an extra chest in the fetid wedding near the optional chest where you fall through the rings. It is locked, can't be picked and seems to have no apparent way to open it. The wiki states 2 chests in the quest, the rings chest and end chest, and doesn't say anything about the third chest.

I'm on legendary difficulty and my friend is on heroic difficulty so it shows in both.

Marking as spoiler because it is a newer quest and for all I know could be part of an Easter egg or something.

Yay feat changes. To gain any advantage from the Spell DC feat changes the toon that this affects should change two heroic level feats before changing the epic level feats. It looks like swap tokens are for epic levels only. It doesn't look like there's any way to buy a feat exchange until the free token is used. Am I missing something? Am I supposed to just use the feat token to get it out of the way then buy four feat changes?

Has anyone found this item yet, and if so where?

The wiki has no info as of writing but logically it would drop from The Price of an Egg since the end boss there is a Bulette but i dont know.

I was looking and I didn't see an answer on the wiki and my search ended up as a dead end. My guess is no, but I have been wrong before. Thanks in advance.

So I've maxed out my main toon. 3x PL of heroic, iconic, racial and epic. (Only missing duergar). I have moved onto another toon with the idea to get all the relevant PL for e melee build. Currently got 3 fighter, 3 barb, 2 pally, 2 ranger can't remember all right now.

Currently doing a 18 warlock 1 barb 1 fighter pdk. Looking at 16 druid, 2 AoTS warlock, 2 fighter pdk next life. Thoughts or advice?

So one thing I love about this game is how off the beaten path you can go with builds. You could make a Cleric that specializes in longbows or a Melee wizard. So it got me wondering, has anyone made a strange or different build that is just because it's something you want? Like it's something many will tell you is not very good or meta but you do it because you want it.

I just turned in my very first Silver Flame Nugget for some armor, but I wanted the helmet too, so I tried asking for another one, but while I was able to accept the quest again, I didn't get a nugget, and the guy said I already had one when I told him I lost it. Can you only do the Nugget quest once per life? The wiki didn't say.

Does anyone know if adressing the constant chat bug issues it something DDO is considering? I have a server my friends and I chat on (Mumble.com), but not being able to read chat when in a pug is super tedious. Does anyone know if its a settings issue that I can fix? I'm super frustrated right now.

So, to preface: I'm a long-time DDO vet, started playing back before the game went free to play, and have played off and on ever since. Recently came back after four years or so of not playing much, and recruited a few friends to run a weekly static group. One friend who is a similarly-old vet but also coming back after years away from the game, and several friends who are either brand new to the game, or have never gotten past the very low levels. We've been playing weekly for several months now and are making good progress.

And it's time for us to run the Vault of Night. I am... or, at least, I used to be pretty familiar with the raid, but I haven't run it in at least half a decade, and even if I was more comfortable with it, I wouldn't want to try running with five people, three of whom are brand new and have never seen ti before.

So; I'm hoping some folks would be interested in coming along for a slow, newbie-friendly run of VoN 5 & 6, Heroic Elite, at level (we are currently level 12), so some new players can see the whole thing. Unless something drastic interferes, it will be Sunday, July 26, probably looking to start around 2:30 PM US Central time (so 3:30 eastern, 12:30 pacific); I'll be putting the group together starting earlier than that (starting at 2), and if we're ready to go earlier than we can kick off earlier.

Our regular static group consists of:

Warchanter/VKF melee bard

Dark monk (Wis-based melee)

Warpriest/Falconry melee cleric

KotC/Horizon Walker archer Paladin

Lightning caster artificer (my character)

So we have most bases covered, but especially for VoN5 having a trapper with evasion would be handy. If someone is willing to step up to provide leadership or teaching, that would be nice - I think I know the raid well enough to manage, but like I said, it's been at least 5 years so a few details are fuzzy.

And, of course, if anyone else is new to the game and has a character in the right level range and wants a crack at the raid, you'd be welcome as well.

Anyone know of any quests with a lot of chests in a short amount of time other than the colaborator? I'm farming for guild renown I would prefer the quests be level level 3 to 4 or level 6 to 7 or level 14 to 15 including if one does the quest on a higher difficulty like my example

Hi, I've played on-and-off for years and I've finally gotten a character into Epic territory for my very first time. I'm currently level 21, with an EK + Vamp (Wiz 20) planning to use Fatesinger + Dread + Unyielding throughout Epic. I'm soloing Elite around my level, and pretty content with the build is capable of so far. To me, the synergy seems pretty sound at a glance, but I'm curious what people would have to say. What advice do you all have for me?

(Also I can provide more details on the build if necessary, it doesn't look like the sub allows image uploads to show my point investments)

Do metamagic attunements stack with typical Metamagic as well? I have no reason to believe that it would since imo 4x range/duration from a dual enlarge/extend would be insane... (plus you can't eschew materials twice) but that's kinda the point of epic destinies so if anybody knows pls lmk lol

Hello all,

I run a niche AD&D-centric YouTube channel (around 5k subs, been around since 2018, mostly TTRPG content) and have recently returned to DDO. (I played a ton at launch 20 years ago) To help new players, I started a new player video series for "Your First Weekend."

Each video is angled toward completely new players is at 28 +/- videos now, each based on a single quest or run.

Feel free to pop by. No monetization. Old school.

My story started DDO I played for few weeks with some guys and we start building our characters and everything was going fine then suddenly they dont want to play anymore and disappeared, from that time I wanted always this type of from zero to hero building up abilities for a character and like that with a group of friends, so what Im asking a real gamers who are looking to have fun and start from scratch in a MMORPG games like DD, WOW, and game suggestions are open because I would love to build a community around it.
Thank you

So I've been testing out a couple of things prior to the update today and noticed some things. I'm building one of my toons out as a summoner, meaning I've taken the augment summoning feats into epic, am wearing the deadly diabolist set and have enhancements taken from both primal avatar and magus of the eclipse to beef them up considerably, though after some of the testing I've done I'm pretty sure there are some things within the play style that have just been plain forgotten about. I was told by my guild that devs sometimes take a look at these forums, so this is an attempt to bring some things to their attention. For those worried that I'm trying to shake up the meta, do not worry. This will never be meta, I understand, but it is a great way to learn dungeons while playing in an environment where I'm not running a million miles per hour or spamming wings. There is a minor community interested in using summons, hirelings and pets, and this is geared towards lending them a hand. So if there is no constructive input you have towards this subject, or you have personally never delved as far as humanly possible in this subject matter in this current patch, please feel free to skip this entirely. This is purely to bring to the attention of the devs that one or more of the mechanics in the game are not working as intended.

1. In an effort to maximize my summons, I decided to spec into magus of the eclipse, since it has the only summons I think are worth summoning. However when using the golem summon, I've found that nothing heals them as it should. I had the clay golem standing in acid fog and it received no healing whatsoever. I also cast flame strike on the iron golem and despite the damage being treated as fire damage when striking enemies vulnerable to fire, it did not heal the iron golem whatsoever. Didn't even bother to test electricity on the flesh golem as I'm pretty sure they will also receive no healing.

2. Share the light states that your summoned creatures would share in the damage aura that magus of the eclipse destiny mantle provides. This is simply not the case... I have tried summoning monsters from the base spellbook (summon monster I through IX), I've tried summoning Vulkoor's Avatar, and of course, call upon - Golem which was the whole premise of these tests. The aura doesn't affect your summons at all , not a single one.

The idea was to have extremely tanky summons that soak up damage and maintain aggro while being healed by offensive spells. There is no way to know for certain if all the feats actually apply, but the golemsfrom this epic destiny are just as tanky as the shield golem from sharn and the aura from the mantle would actually make them viable for anyone trying to build out a summoner druid, cleric, wizard or warlock. If there is any way we as players could get some kind of confirmation that these feats and nodes on the tree are working as intended, that would be wonderful. If they are not, perhaps an explanation as to why they aren't or some sort of plan going forward would be appreciated.

EDIT: If there are other interactions between player and pet/summon/hirelings that you have noticed as a player that you wish to bring to a dev's attention, this is the thread to do it. We are here to ensure players don't have to be pigeonholed into a single play style, even when playing solo.

Hello, I have a wiz 9 and would like some advice for my build.

I want to pick 2 art levels for crossbows, disable device and runearm.

Also i have out 12 points into harper agent for int -> dmg and the other one which uses int for dc

2 points inquisitive for summon bolts

Rest into pale master, am focusing on the left side with 1 point into skelly for QoL switches levers with traps etc.

I find myself using necrotic bolt, doing 30-40 damage and that's it. I have SF and GSF necro and with the Lich shroud active at all times for the +2 necro dc core upgrade.

I either use necrotic bolt, or the snowball swarm because of aoe and sort of good damage. For healing i use death aura or the spell that does aoe from your body with negative spell power, like Negative Burst etc.

What are your siggestions so i can do damage? I want to get barovian repeating cross at lvl10 when i put points into art for more damage.

Also as context i want to use this character for raids later on with my girlfriend who has a level 17 ranger and she was missing a trapper so those 2 points in art are self explanatory.

I will be reincarnating with friends soon and am looking for advice on some builds.

Ok so I am going onto my 4th life, my play group tends to drop in and out, so I tend to build characters that are solo-viable (at least hard, if not elite). We have been trying to push reaper, have gotten up to R5. I have done Paladin, Bard, and Monk, and am probably going to play the healer for this life, which brings me to my request....

I don't like ally targeting in DDO, so I would prefer something that can do AoE heals/cure alls, and ideally something that also let's me do something besides healing during easier fights. I also would like this character to be able to solo stuff on, ideally elite, but at least hard difficulty if needed, since I am not a fan of pickup groups. Any advice?

Are the transfers between 64 bit servers open yet?

Have something to say or a question to ask but don't feel it warrants its own thread? Feel free to post here!

A reminder to please be kind to others. It's okay to disagree with people or have even have a bad hot take. It's not okay to be mean about it.

Wanted everyone's opinion on this, won footfalls of the dracolich from a recent TON PUG raid and passed it to a friend. No one commented on it but it made me think, in other MMOs this would be poor etiquette without letting others roll on it, but in DDO since everyone gets loot preassigned, if you don't loot it, is it yours to do with as you please?

Sigo com esse problema de travamento nas telas de loading, hora sim, hora não, alguém que já teve o mesmo problema poderia me dizer se tem como corrigir isso?

I do not know if it is only me, but if any earth elemental use earth grab they stay locked in the animation forever. Whatever you do they do not exit the animation.

It also occurs on summon and hireling summon.
