Ophiuchus 269 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 In Pillars 1, one of the most coveted items was the Helwax Mold: a keep mission reward that could duplicate a single piece of gear - especially popular with fully upgraded one-handers like Bittercut.With an upcoming DLC focused on wizardly pursuits, I can't help but wonder if we'll see the return of our magical, mystical Eoran sculpy; and in that vein, I'm curious what this forum would duplicate given the opportunity.For me it would be a hard sell between Grave Calling, Pukestabber (for my waifu), Magran's Favor, or Miscreant's Leathers. You could also upgrade a one-hander to legendary, duplicate, then enchant each weapon with mutually exclusive upgrades - maybe gear like Griffin's Blade or Eccea's Arcane Blaster.

uuuhhii 194 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) fire axe maybe the most popular choice or Scordeo's Edge but miss abydon hammer more than any other poe1 item Edited August 18, 2018 by uuuhhii Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaxQuest 2,808 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Hmm, depending on party would duplicate: - Ring of Focused Flame - Ring of the Marksman - for pl: Magran's Favor - for steady-dps: Pukestabber, Scordeo Edge, Scordeo Trophy - for per-rest stuff: Amira's Wing, Kitchen Stove, Thundercrack 2 Quote PoE1 useful stuff: attack speed calculator, unofficial patch mod, attack speed mechanics, dot mechanics, modals exclusivity rules Link to post Share on other sites
M4xw0lf 437 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I never used it. I can't decide such things, goddammit! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daver 42 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 In all my time in POE1, I never used the Helwax Mold, not because I didn't like it, but because I kept saving it and saving it to duplicate that one weapon or armor that I really needed 2 versions of. Then I'd be at the end game in the Pit, and I found I didn't really need it. It might be more useful in POE2, where there seems to be a disparity of Unique weapons/armor. Lots of sabers & swords and medium to heavy armor, but it falls off after that. I wouldn't mind seeing it added as quest loot, or available on the Deck of Many Things (a lot of the items there just felt a bit under-whelming). 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boeroer 15,395 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Maybe Kapana Taga with the Unblockable enchantment. Would give you +2 engagement slots and +8 ACC per engaged target. 5 engaged targets = +40 ACC sounds rather awesome for me. I'd pair it with Mob Stance and Reckless Brigandine I guess and pick a Devoted/Streetfighter with Persistent Distraction. And Sasha's Singing Scimitar. Empowering an invocation would give you 6 phrases without any further enchantment and in theory ou could get back 2 Empower points after using 1 Empowerment. 4 Quote Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to post Share on other sites
Clawdius_Talonious 72 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 It really depends on the character I'm playing. Sometimes I would want to upgrade my legendary Thundercrack pistol, sometimes I'd want to upgrade my Griffon sword or Modwyr after her sould isn't in it any longer. I'd have to play with it, the Family Bonds ability works when any party member wears Hearth Defenders scale and if the auras would stack that could be an interesting option... This is the sort of decision I agonize over for ages, on each character. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big-Ben 478 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Let me be the record scratch guy and say I never even knew this item existed in the first game and that I never encountered one in game. Fascinating! One of these please! Edited August 18, 2018 by Big-Ben 2 Quote Yes! We have no bananas. Link to post Share on other sites
pi2repsion 265 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Let me be the record scratch guy and say I never even knew this item existed in the first game and that I never encountered one in game. Fascinating! One of these please! It wasn't in the game from the start. It was introduced as a reward from a specific companion adventure in the stronghold revamp patch, that added fluff text and fixed rewards to stronghold companion adventures. 1 Quote When I said death before dishonour, I meant it alphabetically.

Clawdius_Talonious 72 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Cloak of greater deflection. Only found 2 in a single playthrough. Gods I know what you mean, even that Marksman's ring kinda sorta makes sense not having them in every shop despite the number of guns in the Deadfire. But simple cloaks of greater deflection, or those old bracers of greater deflection from the first game... None of that made it into the Deadfire. If I could go spend my 800,000 gold in the Dyrwood and bring back shipments of commonplace enchanted gear, some folks in the Deadfire would pay me a handsome profit.

If there was ever any chance of the Helwax mold returning, I suspect this thread and this post in particular killed it dead 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fascinating! One of these please! It was not in the game the first time I played and I only found it once after that. I don't remember what I copied, but it was not anything special. Probably a cloak or +x might helmet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dorftek 293 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I sure as hell would copy Watchers blade without a doubt, two of those badboys would look so cool! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teclis23 89 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I haven't finished the game yet. Ive started my first playthrough when the game first came out and stopped because they hadn't balanced the difficulty yet. I started my second playthrough when Beast released and then stopped again after i realized the last half of the game hadn't been balanced properly. The one item i did notice that i really wish i had two of was probably the marksmen ring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
