    Inventory management is honestly paralyzing

    Well, I’ve just spent four evenings organizing my mules after a four-year break and with all the new gear released, and I’m only halfway through. I’m completely drained and will probably need to take a break. I’ve gotten rid of about a third of my old gear, since it’s now overshadowed by newer...

    Paladin for New Players - Starting Build and Guide, Free to Play

    UPD on this: Beloved of Faith works on everything except Martial weapons, as per the author’s claim.

    Beloved of Faith does not work with Favored Weapons acquired through enhancements.

    Okay, so it works for everything that is a Favored Weapon, but not for Martial Weapons, right? Good to know.

    Beloved of Faith does not work with Favored Weapons acquired through enhancements.

    Hey, I double-checked the interaction between Child of Faith / Beloved of Faith and Favored Weapon enchantments, and here are the results: Test results: Child of Faith — WORKS with Favored Weapon enchantments Beloved of Faith — DOES NOT WORK (as already mentioned for other weapons earlier in...

    Is Beloved of Faith not affecting Favored Weapon from item?

    hey, I've double checked: Child of Faith does work with Favored Weapon enchantments Beloved of Faith - does NOT (as was mentioned in this thread). Tested on Paladin and Great Sword T3 Holy Combatant: (+2 to Attack and Damage with Favored Weapons. You gain Greatsword as a Favored Weapon.)

    Inventory management is honestly paralyzing

    You’ll still likely want to keep your main stat high, along with some CON; WIS/CHA if you’re running any trance (for example, a STR-based Paladin); run and attack speed; accuracy/deadly; ethereal/ghostly; true seeing; blur (nice to have); double strike/shot chance; spell/combat DCs; melee/ranged...

    Ukraine payment source restricted from making purchases

    Yeah, sucks — no Ultimate Bundles for me, with the 80% Black Friday sales, and all the account-wide goodies 😕 Well, at least DDO Points are still available. I hope they won’t block them; I might buy more during double or triple sales, hopefully for the 20th anniversary. Not as efficient as...

    Inventory management is honestly paralyzing

    The “store fewer items” strategy, which has already been discussed here numerous times, may work, but it is not a scalable solution for all players. Especially considering that each new expansion or even a single quest line introduces more and more items. This is especially true for non-veteran...

    Ukraine payment source restricted from making purchases

    I did try that as well. I created a new Chrome profile and also downloaded Firefox. However, this was before I received a detailed response from DDO support, where they made it clear that accounts are simply flagged, and even changing the country will not work 100% of the time if the system does...

    Ukraine payment source restricted from making purchases

    I tried several different approaches, including changing the information in my SSG account to match the region of my VPN. Even after more than a week, nothing changed. I still have only the same PayPal option available, which I am unable to bind as my Payment Resource. I tried this on my second...

    Ukraine payment source restricted from making purchases

    I believe I bought Ravenloft, MoTU, and Shadowfell a few months before COVID. I remember making a fairly large purchase (in terms of content) and being very happy with it. That 99-point purchase was made on my second account (mainly used as an opener). My memory may not be 100% accurate...

    Inventory management is honestly paralyzing

    And this is my main issue with relying on mules as a workaround: spending time managing items — pulling sets out, putting them back, and constantly tracking which items I already own.

    Inventory management is honestly paralyzing

    Yes, the strategy with mules does exist, and it has already been discussed multiple times in this thread. As mentioned before, mules are essentially a workaround with their own drawbacks, rather than a proper solution, and this has also been covered in earlier posts. Similarly, the "just keep...

    Ukraine payment source restricted from making purchases

    I was able to buy DDO Points back in 2013 (to upgrade my account from F2P to Premium). At that time, I didn’t buy any expansions. In 2016, when I started playing again, I was no longer able to purchase DDO Points. I’m not sure about expansions back then — I didn’t try (I think only MoTU and...

    Ukraine payment source restricted from making purchases

    I received a very nice and informative response from DDO support. This might be useful for someone who runs into the same issue, as it explains why using a VPN or other ways of “changing your location” won’t help.

    Inventory management is honestly paralyzing

    You still need to keep track of what you already have and what you don’t. That usually means either using a spreadsheet or external tools like Dungeon Helper: Trove. So it still requires additional workarounds on top of sorting your mules by level.

    Inventory management is honestly paralyzing

    But the game itself is designed to encourage hoarding. Unlike other games, where low-level items quickly become irrelevant and only matter for your main class, DDO is the opposite due to TR mechanics and the various types of Completionist. As for the TR cache, there aren’t really any major...
