not that run can hit 700 skill either but I assume temper I also has the same 700 skill cap?

Looks like they're stuck at 655 skill with hoxne and puk being used at ML50 so unlikely to hit the assumed cap anytime soon unless they drop another large skill+ piece elsewhere

Even if it caps at 700, you can now reach cap with weapons locked (losing the 21 skill from puku+augmented forfend). Renewing temper without having to unlock weapons is pretty nice for a number of longer events, like dyna.

Temper II capping at 700 is quite a huge disappointment, le sigh.

really dont see how, its a thfs level of TA without needing the gear for it, at basically no cost and no downtime. had to cap somewhere. 40% seems more than reasonable for a TA cap

Hey I said it's a disappointment, not that it sucks!
I'll have to adjust my sets, alas.

in one of the few instances where RNGesus blessed me on my third augment on ghostfyre I got +9 skill +20 duration and I've never looked back. It's such an amazing cape.

I too got 9 skill and 20 duration in about 30 crystals. I've been trying for 10/20 for a bit but no dice, but then again I only do it when I have some crystals that I mostly only ever get from an UNM farm session.

I tried with over 50 stacks (stacks, not singles) of Refractive Crystals, it's probably way way more but this is what I tracked.
Mind this happened over many, many years.

I walked out with a +8/20 duration cape and a +10/18 duration cape.
I use the second in Temper/Enspells, the first for everything else.

I wanted inventory +1 but alas, SE doesn't want me to!
An old LS friend of mine, had a perf RDM cape. All 4 stats were maxed XD

sets.precast.JA['Convert'] = {main="Murgleis"}

I'm only familiar with Sel's luas, and it gets a little more tricky if you want it to override Weapon sets. If you're not using a Weapon set, then the above should work fine.

For a single swap, long CD JA.(esp with weapons) I just make it a macro. That way I have the option to not swap if I don't want to lose TP.

/equip main "weapon"
/ja "name" <me>

They did something the last months update with overriding and enhancing magic(not this month), weaker enspells will over right stronger ones, shorter duration, barspells over right other bar spells regardless of duration or potency of the one currently on you. So overriding is not functioning right now in general. however was curious if anyone else was experiencing this.
I don't normaly run into this issue but was doing segs on rdm earlier and the sch's much much weaker enwater would override my enspell. which shouldn't happen.
I've actually been talking with my static because I used to be able to 100% 3 step, 80% 4 step when I had no buffs other than haste II/temper II. now I 85% 3 step, and it's hit or miss if I will 4 step. With no gear changes and my gear is swapping properly. i've been telling them it feels like the potency was lowered on temper II or they put a cap on that's much lower than the previous 40%. I even did a seg run today and same thing tp generation was slower across the run than it was pre last months update.

All enspells of the same tier will overwrite, regardless of potency. Auspice also overwrites enspell 1, regardless of potency. This is how it's always been.

With regard to the temper stuff idk, possibly different SAM roll results, or just poor luck? Definitely needs more data than vibes to determine, but I'd guess it's very, very unlikely that they broke temper ii and wouldn't trust feelings and guesses until something more concrete were presented.

I got so desperate for Inventory+1 that I converted one of my ghostfyres capes into a +10/20 cape. (I had two capes, +9/10 and +10/19 augments and it took me ~600 refractive crystals, which is low compared to other folks who told me it took over 1000 refractive crystals).

But in any case, Inventory+1 secured!

I think before I get myself into that world again, I'm gonna demand an addon to do the trades because frankly that's the worst part of the whole process XD

Speaking of which, any chance someone has already developed such an addon?
I think one in the MAGA style would be complex but at this point I'd be satisfied even with an addon where I press a single macro/button and he selects the NPC and trades the 2 items (the cape and the refractive crystal).

You can do the bolded with Ivaar's TradeNPC ( https://github.com/Ivaar/Windower-addons/tree/master/TradeNPC )
Code
//tradenpc Detrovio 1 "Ghostfyre Cape" 1 "Refractive Crystal"

Don't even need to target Detrovio, it sends the item trade packet without targeting.
(and you can put it in a proper ingame macro via "/console tradenpc blah blah", if you didn't know that already)

If you want to properly automate it, here's what I know:
1) I have not seen an existing lua.
2) Silmaril says it can:
https://github.com/Mirdain/Silmaril/wiki/09.-Augmentation
(I can't confirm firsthand, I've never even used the free trial let alone the paid version, but I hear only good things about that dev so I bet it does work.)
3) Silmaril's got lua under the hood, so if someone pulled that out it's already done all the heavy packet-discovery-and-quantification lifting to integrate it into the existing Oseem-only addon (also add the Dark Matter option that Silmaril also says it has, unless that already got added to the existing addon and I missed it)

Your text to link here...

ItemSet 401941

this? 3% over DT cap. Could trade out alabaster for Sanare?

Malignance, Bunzi and Nyame all have higher Magic Evasion in the Hands slot.

edit: and since you already have a billionty Magic Evasion and the goal was to resist stupid ***in Limbus, you can jam Hearty Earring in over Alabaster.

If I were to blow a bunch of gil on Sworn gear now I'd probably use something like this
ItemSet 401942
JSE Cape: INT+20/Eva+MEva+20/Fast Cast+10/PDT-10%/MEva+10

+2 Refresh (doesn't matter in Limbus)
+839 Magic Evasion (seems like overkill)
-41% DT
-10% PDT
+16% Resist Status Ailment
+37 Resist Bind (the second most annoying debuff)
+37 Resist Stun (the most annoying debuff)
+15 Resist Sleep (more from Wuji but I am not seeing its value documented anywhere? If it's low you can replace with Murky Ring and put Status Resistance on JSE Cape, then swap Carrier's Sash in to get Light/Dark Resist and put Null Loop into neck)
+18% Movement Speed

I tested the Icecrack Ring and it was ~15 Resist! rate. Wuji likely is, too.

If you really want go the extra mile you can also get Light/Dark Resist on an earring via the old Ground of Valor augment system. That could also free you up for Shadow Ring.
