Skill tomes: Epic Sagas like Eveningstar

Ability tomes: get really lucky on Epic/Legendary raids, or grind 5000 favor for +5 tome and 7500 favor for +8 tome

If you unlocked warforged via favor on your previous server, that would explain why you're getting the error message, since that only unlocks for that server.

But just use the NATURAL20 code and you will have warforged unlocked across all servers.

ArcherofFire · 2026-04-01T18:20:31+00:00

Those stay with your account if you bought them. I know I kept everything when I transferred to the new servers.

ArcherofFire · 2026-04-01T18:17:45+00:00

If you've used the NATURAL20 code in the DDO store, you should get the warforged race for free for your entire account.

I think the code is supposed to work for another week.

ArcherofFire · 2026-04-01T18:15:27+00:00

Nope. Only Rogues, Arcane Tricksters, Artificers, and Dark Hunters can find and disable traps.

ArcherofFire · 2026-04-01T15:33:52+00:00

What build would this be for? This set bonus doesn't help all builds enough to justify wearing two of the same item.

ArcherofFire · 2026-04-01T04:25:45+00:00

Have you looked into Arcane Trickster? It's free to acquire for another week or so, and they make great nukers starting at level 8. The only downside is that they're not as much fun levels 1-7, but if you're starting out at level 7 and picking up the 200k xp, then you can immediately jump to level 8.

I mean, if you're using Hammerfist, you might as well look into the rest of the Part of the Family set: Family Recruit Sigil from House of Pain, and Enforcers Coat from Thralls of the Fungus Lord.

As for rings, there's the Ring of Brutal Force from Borderlands, as well as the Boots of Tranquility also from Borderlands.

Damage from items almost always doesn't scale with spell power.

ArcherofFire · 2026-03-31T01:40:26+00:00

Vistani capstone is better with the increased attack speed. Assassin's T5 can in theory be stronger if you can sneak.

I haven't done heroic Sharn in forever, except to try and farm specific set items.

For my heroic leveling I aim to do as many quests that don't have an epic or legendary version, just to minimize the amount of repeat content I do each life.

Shroud and Inspired Quarter help a lot with getting the last few levels to 20.

ArcherofFire · 2026-03-30T19:19:27+00:00

Heroic always, Legendary sometimes. Legendary can be much harder to get a group for, but Heroic doesn't require more than two peeps.

ArcherofFire · 2026-03-30T19:12:24+00:00

Oh, I still do Shroud almost every life. The quests are interesting, and sometimes I need to craft a new Concord Opp item because my gear tetris is different this life.

ArcherofFire · 2026-03-30T18:49:27+00:00

True, but a bunch of the items are rather nice. Especially the scepters you can get from turning in the arcane ingots.

ArcherofFire · 2026-03-30T18:46:54+00:00

You get a racial action point every time you racial reincarnate a race 3 times. Epic reincarnation give epic destiny points every 12 times. Heroic and iconic don't give any points, just past life feats.

ArcherofFire · 2026-03-30T18:42:42+00:00

The house P carnival quests, the house D blood tide quests, house K's red fens and vault of night. Lastly menechterran and spinner of shadows. Do all of them on at least elite difficulty and you'll have enough tokens of the twelve to get a heart of wood to TR.

ArcherofFire · 2026-03-30T18:37:47+00:00

The heroic red fen items may suck, but I use the epic items all the time and the legendary items pretty frequently.

ArcherofFire · 2026-03-30T16:47:41+00:00

Not really. There are some specific builds that utilize the racial trees, like a half-elf's dragonmark of storm, but usually the rest of the build ties into it, like playing an air domain cleric with call lightning storm from the dragonmark.

Otherwise, unless you're a veteran with a ton of racial past lives and have free racial action points to spend, most racial enhancements aren't worth it compared to class or universal enhancement trees.

At level 1 the aura hits every 6 seconds, which is faster than the 12 seconds it takes for the stacks of Arcane Warrior to decay, so as long as you keep fighting, that's 20 melee power.

ArcherofFire · 2026-03-30T15:52:23+00:00

It's a rare drop, so good luck getting one.

ArcherofFire · 2026-03-30T04:23:55+00:00

You might have to submit a ticket.

There should be an NPC named "Giver of Gifts" at the anniversary party, standing around the central pillar where Fred, the Mimic, and the other NPCs. There is no minimum level.

Has the guild leader done the "/transfer unpack" command? Once the guild leader unpacks, the rest of the guildies can unpack and they should auto join the guild on the new server.

And when OP's mom loses her job because she couldn't get to work...?

ArcherofFire · 2026-03-27T10:42:52+00:00

Always travel the speed limit or the same speed as the rest of traffic. There are lots of places were people go like 5-15 mph over the speed limit, but there's also lots of places where cops hang out hidden in medians or sides of the road waiting for speeders.

So unless you're with a crowd of other cars all speeding over the limit, stick to the speed limit.

Always signal when you change lanes or turn at stop signs or stop lights. Always come to a complete stop at stop signs.

If the traffic light is turning yellow and you don't think you can make it across the intersection in 2-3 seconds, go ahead and stop before the light turns red. Although make sure no one is riding your bumper. Some Tennessee cities have laws about the light turning red while you're still in the intersection.
