- DDO - an overview of the various items, clickies and gear that give spell points; what they are, what they do and where to find them or how to make them.
Items covered:
Consumables:
Sparkling Draught of Apple Cider, Dal Quor jelly cake, Shard Trinket of Mnemonic Enhancement, Essence of Cunning
Clickies:
Archivist's Necklace, Twised Talisman, Epic Twisted Talisman, Ring of Spell Storing, Epic Ring of Spell Storing, Vile Blasphemy, Mysterious Bauble, Xachosian Eardweller
Proc'ing Gear:
Torc of Prince Raiyum de II, Epic Torc, Toven's Hammer, Concordant Opposition Green Steel, Halcyon Boots and Dethek Runestone.
One of my personal favorite SP regenerating abilities is Divine Vitality. It comes on cleric hierlings of basically every level, and it can usually restore at least half of your SP bar once per rest. The twisted talisman and stuff like that is nice in a pinch if you have it, but hierlings are dirt cheap, and anyone can use them*, no farm required!
*except in raids
oof...RIP Divine Vitality..still available on hirelings
I just got the torc last night now I know why it’s worth hanging on to!
re: Toven's Hammer - you do have to upgrade to get the Transform Kinetic Energy ability, but its pretty worth it considering the runearm also adds a Lit 2 effect, exceptional fortification, insightful intelligence +2, and +2d8 lightning damage to ranged attacks. Easily one of my favorite rune arms for this level as it just sort of does all the things you want it to.
I've never used it, but the base Toven's Hammer Rune Arm I have says it has Lit 2 on it. It's the only reason I've kept it around in cache for 4 years. Never used it though. I did my arty lives when they came out, and the couple of times I ran a 12 arty 6 fighter for racial PL I totally forgot about it. Maybe when Tieflings come out.
Some points: I wouldn't trade for villager comms at all. You can get villager comms easily from rares in the Kings Forest or the optional end chest in Impossible Demands (I run this quest almost everyday).
The RoSS is found in the General's (Tanankh) chest in the undead area of the sands. It still has a pitifully low drop rate though, (I did get about 3-4 Bloodstones from Palumaks chest from my runs but the RoSS is elusive - I pulled my one and only pre-update).
The Xachosian Eardweller doesn't drop from random mobs. In Eye of Titan it drops from the clam chest at the end of quest, if anyone wants to know about the other areas it drops, check the wiki.
Con-opp greensteel items don't proc SP regen anywhere near a worthwhile time. The HP regen happens rather infrequently but a heck of lot more than the SP. It's still a nice item, I have one on my ranger and she just retired it (she's L28). Maybe Epic Greensteel crafting will have this at decent levels, so I'm holding out.
I got my Torc years ago (probably my 2nd or 3rd run of the raid as I was the only blue bar in the raid that didn't have the necklace yet). My guild always abbreviated the pre-raid ADQ and the raid itself DQ.
Anyhow, nice guide. Thanks again. :)
regarding the yugo int pots, iirc they reduce your fortification by 50%
also, its worth noting that several of the sp regen over time dont typically stack, they override each other. i most often notice this with my spell singer and his vile gloves
DDOcast - A DDO Podcast! true and true! both good to mention here. All yugo pots have a penalty, I couldn't remember what the Int one was off the top of my head but e1 should know that if you choose to yugo, there are risks :-P
Awesome summary! :) TY
Already working on the Torc and Spell Storing ring. No luck with them so far, but it will happen.
My build is also taking tons of hits, (Full plate + tower shield) so I have very high expectations from the torc. I got the Concortand Opposition on my GS neck, and it already proven very useful in weapon shipment farming.
***** If you like the con op then you're going to love the torc. Epic torc is pretty easy to get. The shard is guaranteed from the 20th completion of EDQ (must do the 20th on epic to get a list of shards). The seal is farmable from ATDQ side chests and the scroll is tradeable at Lahar. gl! :-)
Voodu Spyce Yep! Thank you! I am on that road already, just have too many distractions currently. :) Still need tons of gear and to reach lvl 28.
Can't wait to have the Torc though. I am sure it will be a blast!
Voodu Spyce 19 runs of EE DQ and then 20th heroic elite for normal loot reward list. Guess what was not on the list :((((( Looks like conc op items only for me at least.
elraito Baah, man! :) Really bad luck, just like my last 20th run. Don't give up! It will come eventually.
I am doing it again now with raid timer resets, and very determined to take this beauty. ^^
elraito You're not alone. It's something like a 65% chance of any given named item to be on 20th heroic list. Not the best odds, just gotta keep on the grind and like Tibor said, it'll come eventually :-)
Great guide man!!
Thanks Musky :-)
An 18 months old video, but it came up as a recommended video and I watched it anyway. A few notes:
Seriously, _98_ Droughts of Sparkling Apple Cider? Damn, you always impress me with your casual display of excess. I've seen clips of your inv with full stacks of raid bypass timers, etc.
Speaking of which, 5 _upgraded_ Vile Blasphemy? This is a raid which is hardly ever run on my server. But I see you use this item several times on almost every EE or LE video of yours I watch, so I might have to start promoting the raid. :-P
I have a RoSS, and I farmed for it at length, but it has a fairly slow cool down and isn't a huge amount of SP in any event. Decent for topping up after buffing, if the group gives you the time to do so. Run after them and jump-click as best you can. It's still just the heroic version as despite a huge pile of ADQ raids I don't have the s/s/s to upgrade it.
I've never managed to get the Torc, despite at least 2 20th end reward lists, and possibly 3. I don't think it is a guaranteed item on the list. I made a GS Conc Opp neck piece but as you mentioned the proc rate is much slower. In retrospect I should have made it on anything other than a neck piece so if I got the Torc I could wear both for even faster mana regeneration. This life I'm running an Iconic and so I'm going to be doing a few ETRs before I ITR again, so I hope to get a Torc this go-around.
I know you were focused on items, but here's a mana regen option that is available for _everyone_ regardless of what items they have been able to farm: Hirelings. The Starter Pack ($10, or $1.50 around the holiday season when they are on an 85% discount) gives you have the permanent L3 gold seal hireling Elieri Thistledown who has Divine Vitality I. You can call her up in the toughest of dungeons in any calm spot such as a rest shrine area and have her boost your SP, then dismiss her. She'll be available for summoning again in about 15 minutes. Many other Cleric Hirelings have Divine Vitality, but those of note have other abilities valuable to characters without otherwise easy access to divine abilities such as Death Ward. The L16 Cleric Hireling Natasha Thorston has Mass Death Ward and Divine Vitality III x18, for example. And 18 uses of Divine Vitality III is a significant amount of spell points.
Oh, and a note on the Xachosian Eardweller. Paladins get no use out of it as they are immune to disease. :-/ BUT, for characters who can use the item you can halt the expiration cool down on the larva just by zoning. Which means you can be hanging out on your guild ship, chatting with your buds, and stockpiling a bunch of the larva which will _never_ expire until you log out just by zoning back and forth to the Marketplace.
Hey Amber great info!
I never even use the sparkling apple cider any more. But I never seem to use the MOTU commendations for anything else, so I have hundreds of all of them in my bags. You can also trade other commendations at a rate of 3:1 for any other, so I traded a lot of my other ones for villager comms to get the ciders.
Abbot is my favorite raid. On Sarlona, we host a weekly "Tuesday Night Abbotfest" that is open to the public and we even teach newbies how to run the raid. But you're right, hardly anyone ever runs it any more. I do what I can to keep this classic alive, accessible and fun :-)
Interesting tip about zoning with the eardweller disease. I haven't used it in a long time because you can't benefit from the larva sp regen at the same time as VB, so I opt for my VB's and keep the awkward eardweller in the bank, lol. This is also why I don't use the sparkling apple cider any more. I have 5 VB's on every toon. I've found that's a good amount for me, so I don't take more than 5 per toon.
I've heard of that starter pack hireling. I've never been into hirelings, but that's a solid investment. Is this something that's still available? What is it called in the DDO store?
I think torc, or any DQ item, is a bout 60% on 20th list. Make sure you run your 20th on heroic to get a list of base items. If you run it on epic you'll get a list of shards. Only EDQ raid item shards can drop in epic 20th lists, not slayer item shards like ROSS. ROSS shard can drop in the pre-raid tho.
Thanks again for all the feedback, you've been an awesome contributor here :-D
"you've been an awesome contributor here" Heh, I'm just a noob compared to you!
To get to the Starter Pack go to the DDO website, select Store -> DDO Market -> Special Offers, and you'll see it offered for $9.99. But again, it is often offered at 85% off during the holidays, so hopefully very soon now it'll be just $1.50. I think it is still worth it at $9.99, but a sale is a sale, right? Here's a cut'n'paste:
Starter Pack includes:

I got the ring of spell storing on my 2nd try my mom has been trying for 2-4 reincarnations i am on level 15 on my 1st life
grats!! Some people have farmed their whole DDO lives and never pulled one :-)
there are some more sources for temp sp, like draining random weapons, and some class abilities, and the FVS ED ability that boosts low sp regen.
Marik Zilberman I purposely skipped class/ED abilities because I wanted this video to be about gear, but I totally forgot about random gen. draining items, ty for commenting! I added a note at the end of the video :-)
Voodu Spyce those are really suboptimal, since they only trigger on vorpal, and don't give al lthat much, and by the time you can get epic swf to boost proc rate, random weapons are just trash, so the use is quite limited, not to forget that most casters don't fight melee
medium eberoon shards imo are way more worthwhile spent on geting exp potions instead
also ring of spell storin is amazing for capped arties, they get moer spell points back because of higher caster level
elraito nice! I didn't know that :-)
I'm grinding the Ring of Spell Storing the last 4 days and I'm having empty chests. Is this common to happen? 5 empty chests in a row today... I think I'll give up on this for a while. Spent thousands of shards relooting that chest and got only the Falcata and not even a random loot ring...
It sounds like you're ransacked. You only get 7 pulls from a chest in a weeks time. If you pull more than thant you start getting "You have ransacked this chest" message when you open. After a few more pulls while ransacked you'll get a message that says "you have stripped everything of value from this chest" and it will be empty. Just wait a week and it will repopulate for you. :-)
The Ring of Spell Storing is a very rare drop and I would not recommend spending shards to reroll the chest. You can buy one off the shard exchange if you want to spend shards on it.
Still useful for 2022?
yes, but the BIG BUT is that 2 huge spell point clickies are now easily available in the form of epic and legendary ring of spell storing. These 2 items are so far beyond all other clickies that it really makes everything else pale in comparison so definitely check out this video if you aren't aware of this very important development in sp items czcams.com/video/rrITEyBbMNk/video.html
