I have four idols with +8% mana on them but to get the additional flat mana component, the cheapest idol on the bazaar with that combo is 200 million for bad rolls.

mg is borked always

dark jay
#

wait arent you supposed to be using middle explosion glacier if you are using it as main dps skill?

#

that's the curse build

next swallow
#

For each 1 flat mana I get, I actually gain about 2 mana because of all the % gains I have between gear and talents and idols.
I am missing a theoretical 582 flat mana plus 1% mana on my unstable core and my amulet alone, compared to god rolls plus max slams

#

i think 1LP twisted heart would be good upgrade, then slap on an arcane regalia with t7 mana + INT/glacier?

#

surely they cant be that expensive

# dark jay surely they cant be that expensive

Looking for arcane regalia with mana and glacier levels, exalted of any sort, not specifying how it is exalted or what ranks of those skills exist, returns two results total. One is 1.5 billion, the other has potential but it's t6 mana and 2 million. I ran out of favor so I cant pick it up, QQ.

dark jay
#

omegalul what are these prices

next swallow
#

I could maybe look for arcane regalia with t7 mana alone and try to add the skill levels, however, keep in mind that I would at best be getting 1 exta skill point from doing this

#

t5 glacier is only 2 skill points, t6 is 3 and t7 is four.
I would need +4 skills to put some points into buffing 2nd explosion

🤔 This would stack, wouldn't it? Note how it says more and not increased

#

200 int builds? 🤔

#

& added damage effectiveness for the lightning rune is 300%, which is definitely very high. Alternatively you pick rune shard instead, which has only 200% damage effectiveness but can hit targets multiple times.

#

A number of 1000 would turn into 2304 with 4 of these idols at 200 int if I'm not mistaken

#

chance per Int for extra dmg

rocky anvil
#

It is multiplicative and they're different sources, right? And values above 100% for chances (That have no cap) means chance to apply twice. (Such as with dots)
If it is 44% then that's definitely never a choice.

I am playing a lightning spells on-hit spellblade, mainly focusing on spark charge. The thing is that I am dying non stop on 100 empowered monos and I know my gear isnt that great but the game isnt even helping with drops, I couldnt drop anything good for my build. Right now I am trying to farm Fragment of the Enigma and couldnt drop a single one, I am almost giving up the season.

ran this on my sorc while leveling, wasn't too bad but then my build got derailed into various jank and I later had to respec it into ole good melee surge, before I realized that they did actually nerf the free statics

#

so now my build is just melee surge but on the plus side, I got an idea for a sorc static build

#

the stats aren't bad but it's not doing anything degenerate so nobody plays it. Alright, the flat DR is a little degenerate

#

channeling is a meme, go with the regular projectile build

#

just stack 3k mana and lightning disintegrate will be good, presumably that is

stuck fable
#

debating whether to use enchant weap and unksill tele

weary hamlet
#

disintegrate doesn't hit anyways so building it for ailment application is gonna be not great

#

fire disintegrate doesn't apply much in the way of dots anyways, only enough ignite to benefit from -8% damage and spreading flames for the 15% more

plush anchor
weary hamlet
#

that's irrelevant, what makes disintegrate meh is the overall damage output, it doesn't matter in which way it is achieved

harsh thistle
#

but it looks very cool

weary hamlet
#

you can build direct damage static

#

Also I'm fairly sure that the static charge node in Firebrand is bugged and gives charges on hit and not on use if you hit anything

#

or at least the description is incorrect

#

I guess it being on hit would be consistent with most other static charge nodes in other skills like SO

wispy rune

what are sorc plauers finding the best bossing build to be?

dark jay

How does the Twisted Heart work for channeling skills such as Disintegrate or channeled fireball?

weary hamlet
rocky anvil
#

Was afraid of that... I suppose it's the same for "(10% to 20%) of Current Mana gained as Ward when you cast a Fire Spell" and such... 😦

weary hamlet
rocky anvil
#

and cast speed also doesn't increase the tick rate of such channeling skills either right?

harsh thistle
#

nope, not like in grim dawn

ivory shadow
rocky anvil
#

Fair enough... it seems like I can't make it perform anywhere beyond like a D-C tier skill though. It's painful.

harsh thistle
#

did you try the void gloves

#

with ignafar catalyst, and go full crit but no crit multi

ivory shadow
harsh thistle
#

charge the gloves with another skill then use disintegrate boosted by 10 stacks of the gloves

#

it seems like super awkward gameplay though but I think it was chunkypapa who was telling us about this like a couple of days ago

weary hamlet
rocky anvil
#

disintegrate did get some love in 1.1 but not enough I think.
Also yeah I guess you could use those gloves to boost disintegrate but it's just not synergizing with nodes like increased lightning damage per max mana and such...

weary hamlet
#

But when a few outliers are like S++++ tier, where does that leave average builds?

harsh thistle
rocky anvil
#

yeah 😛
Honestly I'd consider corruption 1000 an S tier build for pushing, and 500 average... Yeah there are those 2000-2500+ corruption builds but thats like 3 or 4 of them. (ty zhp ballista)

weary hamlet
# ivory shadow Exactly. All of the old Mage/Sorc skills are extremely unimpressive and outdated...

I already whined about it 50 times but the problem isn't even old skills being bad, it's "new skills" like spark charges with Arcane current homogenizing builds to the extreme. Largely the same issue exists on primalist with GS now. And this whole idea of "random bulls hit goes as long as it applies an ailment" is just, you know, ailment builds 2.0 electric bogaloo so it infringes into that design space as well

I'm still playing a weird hybrid spark charge + mana stacking build with wrongwarp, FC, and static orb, and with very inappropriate gear (cause I want to go for two builds at once)it feels like the most broken thing ever to me, that spark charge passive node was a mistake

weary hamlet

and it's crazy how little investment this requires to just work tbh

#

well at least we now have spark charge builds for every skill in the game, including (checks notes) shatter strike

#

can't wait for spark charge builds on sentinel in the next patch

harsh thistle
#

spark charge glacier when

#

(that's not a suggestion plz don't)

rapid hinge
#

you can do that now, but nobody would becuase it would be so weak

weary hamlet
#

they can just make a new spark charge unique next patch, let's see what text they could possibly put on it.. hmm.. how about, "if a skill or effect would apply less than 5 spark charges to an enemy, it applies 5 spark charges instead"?

rocky anvil
harsh thistle
#

I think there's the glacier dmg type itself that'd be an issue but then if you could make it hit enough times the spark charges themselves would just deal enough dmg

#

I guess the big issue is how many hits you'd get against a boss, it'd be way too few

rapid hinge
#

that's why i said it's weak as sht

#

well i mean compare to all the other thing you can do with glacier

harsh thistle

fireball spark charge, lightning ele nova spark charge

Ah thanks, wish the UI would 1. let me actually see the spark charge tooltip and 2. show me crit chance with individual spells / damage schools

harsh thistle
#

yeah I feel like LE still needs a full breakdown of every skill stat, it's very vague right now

slow pendant
#

I see guides telling me to use X or Y item to get crit cap , but I have no idea how to calculate it so it makes gearing hard. Am I at 80% crit with Spark Charges or am I at 120?

#

Assuming the 60% (120 for lightning) is increase, it's part of the large chunk of increase crit chance from everywhere around so I am guessing it is pushing me from like 500% crit chance increase to 560 or something like that, eys?

wispy rune
#

its just base * ur crit total

base is 5% unless you have something that affects it(skill nodes/implicits etc.)

#

base increases come in the form of "+5%" and crit totals are "30%"

harsh thistle
#

you also need to calculate your base right? Checking your gear and other stuff that might influence it

stuck fable
#

safe to link character profile from letools here?

harsh thistle
#

and then adding the additional crit chance from the sorc passive if you have it

stuck fable
#

i mean i dont want to get my account haxxed

harsh thistle
#

I think they should just show every skill crit chance in the skill tool tip tbh, it'd be so much easier. Like for example how do I calculate the meteor crit chance since it's affected by more crit base from its skill tree? I need to calculate it by hand 😄

I'm looking for making a ignite build as sorc, it looks like a pretty good node but I don't see how to really use/fit black hole with anything else spellwise :/

I think it should be able to put a lot of ignite

Fireball is another decent option for ignite. But you need a lot of cast speed

maybe just selfcasting fireball is cool too ?

it just doesn't have any real use case. Sure you have shock and that's good, but on fire you have throne and that's probably even better

I’m playing a mana stacking glacier build by “Curse”. Hit lvl 80 yesterday and started my first emp mono, I’ve got all res over capped and around 50% cs avoidance. All my gear is 72+ in level. I’m priority mana/intel/ spell and relies on ward and passives for ehp.

Getting 1 shot by skeleton bows off screen (physical) is this something I can mitigate by adding + armor % to a couple pieces of gear and drop some dps which is around 130k?

Is focus/mana strike interchangable with say glacier sorcerer? Trying it out and leveling with it and I really dislike mana strike but wondering if its just generally the better option

the weapon is fairly bad but I don't have a better one, it's missing the red ring and a +5 disintegrate knowledge too

hmm I see. I play warlock. Wanted to play plasmaorb runemaster but too lazy for that build lol

#

seems like you need to press 55 buttons to play that build 😄

weary hamlet
#

do you actually? Haven't really played it but it looks just like your regular RM build, do nothing -> your char plays itself

oblique dock
#

plasma orb? have you ever seen the build?

weary hamlet
#

I've seen a few, do you mean the variants where you manually check the runes?

weary hamlet
#

well maybe it plays itself a little less than some absolutely braindead builds, but come on man, this is still an arpg

#

I guess you can in fact do worse in this regard with some builds that are literally walking simulator like judgment aura, if it's still viable at all after all the nerfs

Is it possible to use Firebrand (or Mana Strike) to trigger Warden's Echo for casting Frost Claw, and then have Frost Claw trigger Elemental Nova using Celestial Conflux? The tooltip for Celestial Conflux doesn't say a direct cast of Frost Claw is needed, but that doesn't mean the chain of casting would work

weary hamlet

should be possible

Yeah, it works on procs

Interesting, could be fun, do you know if anyone played around with that already?

Need some opinions, I'm currently running a ward build with double ring of the third eye, I got a red ring that rolled poorly on nemesis so basically 0LP, would it still be better for tankyness than a 3LP ring of the third eye

gentle mango
#

i've decided crit damage reduction/avoidance is a waste of an affix slot

rapid hinge
gentle mango
#

just seems like a ridiculous investment since mobs only have 5% crit chance and 200% multi

#

just avoid crit rate affix echos i guess

short peak
#

a 200% multi is pretty deadly on high difficulty

#

that's why you're fine and POP, disappeared

gentle mango
#

ofc but you can get some serious armour instead

short peak
#

I don't think the inverstment is huge though, isn't there a blessing ?

rapid hinge
#

i also think ppl kinda overrate crit mitigation a little bit. But it's not that hard to cap tho so 🤷🏽‍♂️

#

hybrid armour/crit mitigation affix only gives like 15-20% less armor then flat armor affix so

gentle mango
#

i was just flip flopping on my gear getting an insane craft that didn't have crit reduction on chest

short peak
#

in any arpg damage can get so crazy you don't want to get modifier on mobs you could avoid

gentle mango
#

but now i've gaslit myself into being happy about using it

short peak
#

you can survive without it yeah

dark jay
#

you can just crit reduction on belt/boots since they give extra armour

harsh abyss
#

Having one piece of crit damage reduction (instead of crit avoidance) also makes it a lot more reasonable.

#

And remember, if you're applying Blind now, there's no reason to build crit reduction

gentle mango
#

i think it's more about the point of being 80% unique geared, i think crit reduction is the first thing to drop

Hey guys, looking for some feedback on this build: https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oP57eqpA

Idea is a fire disintegrate focused build purely for lazers. I am in a bit of a wall at 100 monos and am wondering if I just need to stack more int on gear or get more defensive layers or if my skills are bad. Any help is appreciated!

#

How does calculated destruction work? Trying to hit 100 crit chance for glacier build, equipped a new piece with 4 extra intel yet my crit chance goes up by 2% but isnt it meant to be 3% per 1 intel

harsh abyss
#

It's 3% increased per intelligence.

#

Your base crit chance is 5% so each point will increase that base by 3% of it's value (.15%) There are sources of increased base crit chance that can boost that a lot, like skill nodes, catalysts, rune daggers and some unique gear.

#

For example, if you have 4 points in the meteor node that grants you base crit (+8%), your total base crit will be 13% and so each int point gives you .39% crit. You can tell the difference on gear and passives and stuff because things that add base crit will always be "+X%" and often reference "base" crit chance, whereas things that increase your crit chance will always be "X% Increased" and usually have a lot higher values.

Ahh ok that amkes sense now, thanks for the explanation. I never was good at understanding the wording and multiplicative/additive. Cheers!

did they nerf anything else about low life or was it just the 10k ward "cap"

# harsh thistle hey, looking at your disintegrate build, why did you take Calculated Destruction...

yes, mainly for the int. I'm still debating on going back to 1h + ignivar's but I don't think that I can afford to swap to crit-focused bases cause that will tank my survivability too much and it's already fairly weak on this build as is. Maybe when my overall gear is much improved, although I think I'll swap out of the build soon (for some other jank no doubt) while I'm rolling that disintegrate Knowledge

sleek meteor
#

how much did sorcerer get buffed in 1.1?

weary hamlet
#

not that much compared to how absurdly busted some builds were in 1.0

daring vapor
weary hamlet
#

actually 99% of builds that use the scales will use a variant that does not trigger from their spell school at all and just use its base as a stat stick

#

so in this case your fire and cold scales are usable in an all lightning build

#

which is both sad and hilarious

daring vapor
#

so i have to find the lightning fire do not trigger the debuff?

harsh thistle
#

it's after all a sh!tton of Int

sleek meteor
#

i chose sorcerer

weary hamlet
#

6% flat crit, 22 int, 20 cast speed at a high roll - and while its lpl is high that's less of a problem now with nemesis

sleek meteor
#

if it turns out that runemaster is better ill make a new character later

so you can also roll into chance to shock and slow attackers for free

sleek meteor
#

frost claw feels weird to use

Well, orb I know how ot, but meteor can't go frost

it's an elemental build, you go for maximum mana, crit chance, crit multiplier, spell dmg, and you're set. It was already good before 1.1 but became bonkers with all the mana changes sorc got in 1.1

Is it the light pen / flat damage that's the big part?

FC and the charges? with Enigma getting +15 int is way way better yeah

#

Mana regen actually nice when mapping (right now I swap enigma and relic when doing that)

#

and then swap to stormcarver + crystal skull for bosses

harsh thistle
#

but for the orb, more flat spell dmg with the huge mana boost matters more, lightning pen is good too and more shock chance means you'll reduce the enemy lightning res quicker, I mean everything on this item is good

Resistances, crit avoid/ les crit dmg is obvious.

Right know I'm around 2k health and 2k ward. Still i often feel massively squishy.

Is there an easy way to get more armor on an sorc or something?

Or is that normal, that you need exorbitantly big ward reg/ gen to survive hard hitting stuff?

I found an almost perfectly rolled unstable core, 0LP, for 5 million gold. Literally the rolls on this thing alone should have made it worth 500m+.
I put it into a nemesis machine to gamble on whether it would get additional mana, or to get LP for a slam. That failed.
It is still by far better than what I had on and now I have 1326 mana.. lmao.

interesting, is there a better direction to take spellsword

weary hamlet
#

probably not

#

all sb theme builds are mid at best since they don't have busted uniques that just give you a million percent more damage for not doing anything specific

#

but you can build direct damage SS, frostbite SS (although it's still bugged/glitchy), or surge with decent success

#

flame reave is big meme and so are any non-spark charges proc builds but you can still play it in low corruption

#

ok. has anyone ever done a crit based hydra build? and is there a way to proc spreading flames using hydra?

coral thorn
#

does area for aoe skills affect hydra's explosions? or does it not really affect the hydrahedron cast at all?

harsh abyss
#

If you check the tags for hydra, it'll tell you if it has the Area tag, then it'll scale something on it. I've never used it though so IDK

coral thorn
#

it does, it's why i spec into it. but a thought crossed my mind. not sure if it's scaling the explosion aoe, which is what i wanted. but dont entirely feel like i'm seing that. if that's the case i can move several points around

harsh abyss
#

Sometimes it can be hard to see the the affect of increased AOE stuff since it doesn't scale linearly

#

And also there's a bug with ground indicators not updating right now, so you REALLY can't see it.

coral thorn
#

so it could be happening, i'm just not seeing it. my other question is there a way to add spreading flames to it? or to fire attacks in general?

#

if the only way is a unique weapon, helmet, or relic, those slots are taken on my build lol

#

my build is using torch of the pontifex, box of hydrae, and calamity

harsh abyss
#

Only ways I can think of are a couple unique weapons and then a sorcerer node that other classes can't get. You can also get 100% spreading flames chance on fireball though, so you could use that as an applicator

#

Not sure why you want it specifically, it doesn't really do too much damage compared to lots of ignite stacks.

coral thorn
#

thought it'd help spread ignite

harsh abyss
#

Nope, it's a totally unrelated ailment.

Good afternoon full Glacier mages! Question for you - how are you handling higher level boss fights while working to mana stack your gear?

you can slam percent mana and flat mana on to the same helmet.

#

from a base that is specifically not a mage base because mage bases can't have those stats. and then beyond that point you can equip it

nimble rover

it doesnt make the peak class specific?

next swallow
#

the Max roll guide suggested that I slam flat mana and then reduced bonus damage taken from crits into my hat. and I did make one of those. but then if you notice I slammed t7 of that affix into my belt. so then between that and talents I'm at 95% almost capped without having that slammed into the hat at all. then my friend suggested I try to see if percent mana was available and turns out in a janky way it is available

guys which would you equip as a glacier sorcerer?

warped crow

also glacier restores 1% of your max mana on crit

next swallow
warped crow
#

arcanist blade + mana drain + critical mana + and then crit rejuv to make critting practically free

next swallow
#

can you elaborate? are those talents?

warped crow
#

ye passives inside mana strike tree

next swallow
#

I have about 1400 mana and am basically just relying on the 1% to refill

warped crow
next swallow
#

so I am at the point where I can usually maintain my mana if mobs cooperate with positioning, glacier costs 46 mana, 1% of 1400 is 14, glacier crits 3x, on one target thats 42 mana back plus the 100% chance of instant 20% mana back on cast

warped crow
#

pog

next swallow
#

extra mana beyond this will mean that successful triple hits will restore mana instead of just being mana neutral, and misses and partial misses will become more acceptable

warped crow
#

do you even use mana strike at all? or its all glacier even in bosses?

next swallow
#

so uh maybe I dont need this mana strike, idk what I would drop to get it. I use everything on my bars.

warped crow
#

ic ye then ignore that bit xD

next swallow
#

one moment let me update my maxroll planner and link for you what I have currently lol

#

also do you know which of the 2 necks i linked up there is better? I failed a t7 mana slam on that 2LP orions eye and I am so salty about it.. lost a 1.5 billion gold gamble

warped crow
#

also i just realized mana strike and glacier have the same passive name but for 2 different effects lel

next swallow
warped crow
#

because frailty + less dmg over time + more mana

next swallow
#

both necks have less dmg over time

warped crow
#

but it has more

next swallow
#

one of the points of the orion neck is that it removes your need to have any void resistance, freeing up strict requirements on other gear slots

warped crow
#

true

#

ye idk probably fine to use it

next swallow
#

in fact its the only reason I would accept a downgrade in stats like mana and less dmg taken over time, but thats why I am asking and torn about it.

warped crow
#

go for it ... just make sure to adjust the rest of your gear around it

#

imagine you had gotten that with higher rolls tho owo

next swallow
#

the story of that neck , and two chestpieces I also failed at rolling, are kinda insane.
I got that orions eye for 40 million as an LP0 and gambled it in the nemesis machine to arrive at an LP2 worth an estimated 1.5 billion

#

Same story with two extremely good unstable cores that I bought for 2 million and 5 million gold each ... which each then gambled in the nemesis machine up to 1LP and then failed on a t6 Mana slam (t7 doesnt even exist on bazaar lol)

warped crow
#

lol

When I say extremely good unstable cores and for extremely cheap, check out the stat % rolls on these.

Hopefully their next cycle comes without gold dupes and stuff so they can see what the economy looks like without all the issues.

and since that has happened, the economy for this cycle is ruined. the cap gold you can carry is 2.1 billion something. cap value you can list something for in bazaar is 1.5 billion. items that are not even that good are "worth" a billion

2 people tried to quote equations at me and one said I was almost cap and one said I was overcap, and that was with less crit%% stuff than I have now (like a better roll on my hat)

rich pecan
#

i think in regards to glacier its because theres a node that specifically adds crit to glacier so maybe that isnt included in the stat sheet

#

but ya its annoying

next swallow
#

I can say that 950 mana feels completely different than 1200 or 1400 mana, and the build only really comes online for soloing bosses and relying on the 1% mana return when you have 1300ish mana

warped crow
warped crow
next swallow
#

thats not nearly as important as how much mana those 1% crits are returning

warped crow
#

i mean glacier is like what 60 mana? 20% of that means your now only spending 48

next swallow
#

it does help and lowers the threshold for hitting mana neutrality while spamming glacier like a madman
nah mine costs 46

idk what happened because earlier today mine cost 49 mana and I am unclear what changed besides perhaps losing some int

I only know the ascension chances on items in the glacier sorc build and thats because its shown when you mouseover the items on maxrolls website

#

so if you want to know the rate for another uniques chances of ascension you need to check a build on maxroll that includes the unique I guess

#

or look for another place that has exact droprates but I found other places expressed it as a percentage like 0.000034% as opposed to "1 in 700" which I found easier to understand

#

the best idols for mage are the ones with Flat Mana & Mana %+ Armor
Any idol with those 2 stats is minimum 200 million
Since that is too expensive the next best thing is just get a max or high roll of the Mana %and Armor roll
And for that purpose, the idol you have is bad because its 4 wide and 1 tall instead of being a 3 x 1
the 3 x 1 ones you can fit more of them into your build and they cap at 8% mana, whereas the 4 x 1 ones cap at 12% mana.
a perfectly rolled 8% mana on a 3 x 1 sized one is worth 2 million gold
a perfectly rolled 12% mana on a 4 x 1 sized one is still worthless
hope this helps lol

Hmm why teleport when you can use flame rush

Probably a dumb question, but is the stability that you gain per echo affected by corruption?

can someone explain me why in this video, with this build, they play with the confluence of fate in the amulet ? i can't understand why ? it's a lightning build and the amulet give fire, necrotic and void no lightning damage : https://youtu.be/SLFBbVdeIp0

#

also you don't need the damage type to match in this game, you can add void flat damage to a lightning spell, just that that portion will scale with increased void not increased lightning

u lost me

weary hamlet
#

More damage good, more flat damage very good

astral ferry
#

there's no line on the wrongwarp that specify something like that

weary hamlet
#

Ooga go booga mob die you loot

grizzled lily
#

wrongwarp scales spell damage with movement speed which gives a lot

astral ferry
#

so how can the amulet work with the wrongwarp i'm lost

weary hamlet
#

That damage gets added to all spells regardless of base damage type

well that turns out better than I expect

weary hamlet
#

And if your damage scaling is genetic you don't care about type mismatch

What’s the best build for sorc right now?

astral ferry
grizzled lily
#

like your lightning spell will do doing like 20 lightning 20 void 20 fire 20 necrotic and all these get scaled by the increased spell damage from wrongwarp

astral ferry
#

wtf why it's so complicated, they should make think more clear

grizzled lily
#

it is slightly more advanced minmaxing

astral ferry
#

there's no game where if you have +13 FIRE spell damage, that mean it add 13 fire damage to , but should be +13 to YOUR fire spell damage x)

#

i think it can be confusing for newbies when something like Glacier still can scale with +necro spell damage and then further through %spell damage

usually for other games it rarely ever works that way / no smart adaptive damage system

gloomy topaz
#

basically it's something like this

say a skill does 100 lightning spell damage, you have +20 necrotic spell damage, it still takes it and become 120 damage. Now
+100% lightning damage would make it become 220
+100% necrotic damage would make it become 140
and +100% spell damage would make it become 240 as it applies to both portions

wait do the projectiles from frost claw actually do damage?

i wish the frost claw projectiles didnt curve out as much

i'm following a maxroll leveling guid and it's saying specific side quests to take for idol slots and skill points, is there any way to know what side quests in-game i should grab before grabbing them? it bothers me to see the uncompleted quests on the left of my map lol

carmine hazel
#

press M check on rewards on the left side, do not bother there are more quests than you need to fully upgrade idol slots and passives

tight wadi
#

that's after you've accepted the quest tho, i was just wondering if prior to that there's an easy way to know what quest some npc will give me if i accept

carmine hazel
#

I was skipping campaing and got all passives and Idols on act 9

tight wadi
#

is there a resource labeling quests with like an image of the location of the npc who offers it?

carmine hazel
#

just pick whatever you can in act 9, you can allway go back no worries

#

that is if you can log in, I cant since 2 days now xD
