Or shield.

But yes, cost wise for all armour :

Chest = 5 x gloves/boots cost
Legs/Head = 3 x gloves/boots cost
Arms = 2 x gloves/boots cost

I changed it into the end to all 99% instead :) And I do realize the TOA-bonusses are quite mediocre at best, but to be honest will be mostly wielding Malice, so will be 4melee, 9 style, 7 speed which aint all thát bad from my PoV as a mincer.

Almost impossible to make a 99% chain-template if u include Scalars (for more melee-dmg) and more or less allowing all mainhands (legendary, malice, etc) if u also want CrocRing and Winged Helmet and SoM and keep decent resists :>


To be honest mostly made it full 99% now to see what's best benefit for a mincer and whats needed + Im on a very tight budget :)

Looks pretty good for being so cheap, but why Dreamsphere?
With 11 stealth, i'm guessing this isn't for a group minstrel. What about using Eerie's and Oglidarsh?


Edit: The melee bonuses are ok. My zerker had 9 style and 4 melee in her last template. In the new one, i got 10 style and 7 melee and my caps went up with about only 8.

Too much artifact utility imho, get 101 con/101 str, some hits and AF and capped ToA bonuses.

Forgive me if this comes across as rude (not my intention), but why would you bother making a mediocre template like this? MP chain really isn't that much more effort to raise cash for (just do a dragon raid or something).

You really need to raise your con and hits if you want to compete; not to mention getting quickness higher to increase base damage.

mincer templates are hard as hell to make,
this 1 is very cheap, and quite good if u consider it doesnt have extremely expensive items in it, i wouldnt call it mediocre :)
it even offers choice of weapon between elemental & malice!

In the end I made a full 99% SC actually. Difference is that 99% sells for absolute dump-prices (spend like 800G for 3 parts of armour total) where 3 parts of MP's are easy 20+ plat spend. Which, to me, is *ALOT* of money.

I think I got quite abit of solo experience, and I totally dont agree with the 101 STR/CON ideas. The 101 CON would give me about 75-80 hp more, thats hardly worth it (to compare, thats 3% extra resists over all damage-types)

25 extra quickness would be nice, it increases my base-damage by about 7.5-8%, which would be in total DPS 3~% (if u include styles and DD's).


I might redo my mincer's template once I got enough money, u guys got any templates flying around with GoV/Malice/WingedHelmet, free Mainhand and better stats/hp/TOA-bonusses?

Did a 99% chain mincer template aswell. With no drop jewelery at all.

Have the most important stats and 50af 380hp is imo better then getting another 2-4% meleedmg for my minstrel :p

Edit: Difference between my template and puppets is that I don´t have any +stealth except from SoM and RoD. My mincer aint the stealth typ (12 stealth ftw) :D

farming cash is not as easy for some as it is for others.

For the price its a very nice temp, although I'd certainly rate hits/con as more important than melee damage to a minstrel, especailly a soloer which I assume this is for from the stealth.

I'd say it's good given the price.

I do sort of agree with eggy to an extent tho.. if your going to solo, then winning fights against people with better templates is going to be extremely difficult.
The game's reached the point where there's not many people running about in random rog gear anymore in rvr, and if you don't have capped stats, your really going to struggle. I'd use it as a stepping stone, to find out what's important to me based on my playstyle for when I was making my proper template, as you can put it together for next to no money, but it's not something i'd use as a final template.

Anyone in this game can make money quickly.. it's just the majority of people are either too lazy, or haven't thought about it. It's only easier for some cos they spent 30 minutes thinking about how to do it at the start.
