The crafting quests give way better loot than the monsters. I killed red death for a few days and yeah I got tons of gold and artifacts (and part of a armor set) none of the loot is anything like the crafting quests. I got wooden leggings I enhanced with frostwood for the hell of it (non-medable = might aswell try to break it) and now they have 82 frikken resists. I didnt even think that was possible. *makes out with carpenter talisman* Guy next to me got a 97 luck, 19 lrc ring. My personal favorite thing I've gotten Braclet: 75 luck, fcr 2, lmc 7, lrc 17, dmi 20. As far as weapons, my best was a leafblade: sc (no-1) mana leech 40, life leech 44, dmi 43. Leafblade: lifeleech 38, 94 luck, ssi 25, dmi 43, ubws.

And that stuff is what I've gotten today after i didnt mount my beetle lastnight and lost everything.
