Uncrafted vs Crafted Blacksmoke sets – a detailed comparison

[JaytB]

Hi all,


In tradition with previous caps, I figured it could be useful to post what exactly can be expected from crafting your latest L.75 Blacksmoke sets. That way you can make an informed decision before blowing loads of that hard earned gold on crafting materials.

Note that this is a work in progress. I have most crafted gear, but missing some screenshots. They will be added when I have some extra time


This topic will contain all 3 classes and is ordered as follows:

1. Mage 1H (Scepter/eye/egg) and 2H (staff) sets
2. Archer Recurve set
3. Warrior 1H sword/shield set

All screenshots below were taken without rings or vanities that added stats


1. Mage 1H set


When you were one of the lucky ones to get to 76 in 4 days and own the egg, this egg can be used in both uncrafted and crafted 1H sets (Scepter/egg) to complete your set (with sparkles and set bonus).

So, lets start with the scepter/egg sets

Unfortunately, I somehow lost my screenshots of the uncrafted scepter/eye (and staff) set, I’ll add that in later.
