Items that add to crafting skills?

I haven't seen a compilation of items that add to crafting skills, so I'm starting one. Will be nice to have for when you want to craft without spending your actual skill points on it.

I've confirmed that it's possible (but rare) to find these on artifacts; At least .

The compilation so far, keep in mind you can dual-wield some of these:
Kronghammer +1
Potion of Alchemical Inspiration +1
Hat of Bergstrom +1
Black Pearl Ring of Sleeping Secrets +1
Tinkerer's Goggles +1+1

Of lesser importance, here are also items that add Trap Affinity.
Clockwork Orb +2
Trapper's Toolbelt +2
Thieving Gloves +1
Dwarven Army Sword +1

Any other non-RNG items that boost crafting skills?

 

Tinkerer's Goggles has +1 .

Hat of Bergstrom and Black Pearl of Sleeping Secrets both have +1 .

 

Not really. is actually a pretty common random affix on artifacts.

 

Artifacts can have crafting skill stats aswell. I once got a dark mirror shield with +3 alchemy. Totally legit.

 

Okay, well the idea behind this is to hold onto these items so that you can equip them for an as-needed skill boost, which would work for crafting & traps, can't think of much else you'd use it for.....maybe spell reflection for Dredmor himself? LOL

Any others out there (aside from artifacts)?

 

i thought for sure that this couldn't happen. or maybe it is incredibly rare?

I'm pretty sure we've already listed the only items that add crafting skill. There are a few mods that add items, but base game is usually strict about it.

 

Hammer of Krong +1

 

Or rather, Kronghammer +1

 

Potion of Alchemical Inspiration gives +1 to alchemy, though it's time-limited (but still neat).

 

hat of bergstrom +1 wandlore

dark ring of secrets +1 wandlore

nobody cares about wandlore.

 

Except incompetent mentioned those in the 2nd post?

 

didn't notice the earlier post, but my statement still stands.

 

Well, there's relatively lots of stuff that boosts . Trapper's Toolbelt, Thieves' Gloves, and so forth.

 

IIRC the only other two are Tinkering Googles, which also give +1 Trap Affinity, and the Dwarven Army Sword does as well.

 

So how does one get the Kronghammer? Cause' I want to make this dwarven atom-smasher, but it requires a smithing skill of 7.

Thanks, I've already maxed out my smithing, I'm doing tinkering for now. I need to make that bolt of mass destruction so that I can make the Dwarven Atom-Smasher, and if I can find The Hat of Bergstrom, The Bomb. This is the first playthrough that I've made it to level 5, so I'm hoping to use these on Dredmor.

 

I have like 100k, besides, I have the ingredients for about 3.

 

Okay, now back on topic - ways to boost your crafting skills.

Looking at the Dredmorpedia, if you hit the Search tab and click the skill you want, it shows some/most of the items and also skills & spells that'll do it! (no potion or wandcrafting items listed?)

There's one spell called Diggle God Of Secrets Blessing that gives +2 to each of and the old version of (needs to be updated, obviously)! It also gives +3. I've never seen any of these statues yet, but I'm only on level 4 since I bought the DLCs:

Smithing combined with Clockwork Knight can give you 7 smithing easily.

 

Clockwork Knight only gives Tinkering and Alchemy.
