Warlock, I'm at the point where my smithing/tinkering are 7 and I'm starting to work on alchemy, what are some of your favorite crafted weapons/jewelry/crossbows, and what encrusts are you planning on using? I'm currently using a mace of windu and a bolt eruptor, but I have the tradeskill plans and materials for things like clockwork rail launcher, dwarven atom smasher, the flashy staff, and lots of rings and such that I haven't looked at much. A lot of stuff seems to have hidden effects, and even with the dredmorpedia it's sometimes hard to sort through all the possibilities.
I'm going to add the hyperborean enchant, rune weapon, dangerously unstable reactor, and blood groove to my x-bow. For the time being those are my only plans, sadly. I'm waiting on much better equipment for some of these.
Getting a little off track from the thread, but I'd be interested in your ideal encrust setup if you have time to go over it at some point, here or elsewhere.
Just to be the technicality nazi, Rogue was the name of the specific game that all Roguelikes are called that because of. As you were.
