Just had 30% damage boost drop from gurn. the name has been changed to (Fade-Touched Hardened Gurn Hide)

[@Puddinggebaeck]

Whew, you just saved me from wasting two block master items on my character... Thank you for the stack info!

[@NerdExtrodinare]

This is old as heck but I finally got off my butt and decided to play through the game and I have to say my favorite is Fade-Touched Dales Loden Wool. 30% more focus, and the belt, and I just rift everything.

[@kal-elkent7658]

You just earned a subscription because of this video. Keep up the great work bro!

[@espica]

Any ability can be activated even if it's other class' ability? For example, Hidden Blades can activate for warriors and mages?

[@shempatrick3233]

yes

[@armyowens990]

hidden blade on armor is better and if you playing a archer go for armor on hit or if DW rouge put in armor in hit and another hidden blade or less stamina cost if you not playing as a artificer since spamming traps almost always reset your skills

[@yupiiup2682]

Heling porcentagem item in viviene ressurrection is insane,heal all healt. 5% healing health work to full hp.

[@111111111111111owner]

There is also a fade touch material that give you 10 % chance to use walking bomb. So far it's my favorite.

[@GrandadeeSmalls]

is it only for the mage?

[@namelessone9941]

nope, eveyone can use it

[@stratavan]

Hmm where can i find gurn at the hissing waste it's extremely fcking difficult ._.

[@TsukadaHina]

Where is the best place to get fade touched wyvern scales (poison)? Im only finding the fear version.

[@mendigodomar]

holy jesus, ive been dropping this poison shit masterwork all day trying to farm gurns for 30% dmg bonus (the wyverns are always fighting w the gurns). Poison masterwork drop from the hissing wastes wyverns

[@draculimpaler4507]

Crafted 2 agile ravagers with dps of 446 one with fade silver the other with fade velvet and its sick

[@Crimson_Sun2486]

I know this was made a long time ago, but I have a question regarding the Reaver specialization Can ring of pain activate masterwork abilities or not? I know enemies take spirit damage while they're in the ring, but I don't know for certain if that's counting as a hit to trigger stuff like Hidden Blades

[@Georghellsing2]

Whats the best fade touched masterwork material to put on my two handed sword? Playing a two handed sword reaver.

[@ostmen_draugr]

Georghellsing2 FT silverite for guard +5. & maybe FT pyrophite for dam +7.5 for every enemy within 8 meters. Make a walking tank

[@armyowens990]

sorry im late but walking fortress and hidden blade x5 in armor

thank you so much dude this is the most useful video about masterwork do you know where you can find Essence Of Perfection?

Can you use the replication glitch in the essence of perfection?

[@marciodasilva6920]

Hi nathonas, first of all, thx for this video, u cant imagine how it helped, second, third day trying to get a Fade-Touched Varghest Scale, I'm killing the gurns, looting and reloading, any advice that could help me? or the drop rate is really that ridiculous?

[@HadouGun]

So does this mean you can get tier 1, 2, and 3 of Hidden blades on hit and it would work?

[@dunkun3492]

Alex Cheung I know this is late, but yes you can and get 30% chance to proc hidden blades. Although only one of the 3 will trigger. So if you have all 3 there's a 30% chance you the 3, 4, or 5 hit hidden blades proc. Not all at the same time.

[@krissatriya8662]

Is there any bug with snoufeur horn of valor ? Mine doesnt give the horn of valor icon when it proc. And will it get he upgrade from warior skill if we upgrade it ?

[@ds3pvpfun865]

great vid is the 30 percents dmg fade still bugged for gurns to drop? also are there any red templars in hiss wastes , all ive fought is venitari

Do u know what fade touch that give u walking fortress

[@DumpStatWisdom]

I have heard a lot of people recommend "walking bomb on hit", but I don't see it here. Is it not that good?

[@deathstar6998]

It is good but walking bomb takes too long to detonate, and it's shit Vs dragons, sorry for late

[@danielsalazar117]

soo, for some reason, my fade touched plush fustian velvet doesn't give the hidden blades thing. it gives me the 10 percent deduction to stamina/mana. any suggestions?

[@hahalord7294]

same

[@Nightshadow9999]

Some masterworks there are two versions. You got the weaker one.

[@4321josequervo]

Daniel Salazar mine is 7.5% extra for for each enemy within 8 meters and my bloodstone is for 10% Unbowed

[@Nyrufa]

I think these materials got patched or something. My Fade Touched Silverite has a chance of casting Chain Lightning at 100% weapon power, instead of the +5 Guard bonus.

[@cliftonsavage7380]

There are several versions of some materials

[@slayer21112]

at this current date has the vargest scale still not been patched?

[@ForlornTrooper]

Anyone know if the varghest scales are still acquired from gurn? Or have they patched it?

[@acharyza317]

dunno

[@Champine88]

why does my game say fade touch silverite does chain lightning damage? did it get changed in a patch?

[@rehanlbpwed9719]

There are 2 types of fade touched silverite one gives u the lighting thing the other gives u +5 guard . It's all rng Wat u get.

[@Champine88]

ok thx

[@jeleniozaur3571]

There's one more kind of smofleur skin that heals 1% of your hp per hit (not per kill). Maybe that could be the best?

[@jeleniozaur3571]

*snofleur

[@BoydofZINJ]

Jeleniozaur You have to remember that very few characters can have only a few masterwork items. 1% per hit could keep a character up - but the character can still fall if they get hit very hard and it does not help you do damage. Guard adds an extra HP pool to the same character or extra damage means you kill targets faster and wont take as much damage. Which is why the guard and extra damage is normally the choice for most people.

[@jeleniozaur3571]

BoydofZINJ Yep, but how many enemies can kill your character with one hit?

[@Puddinggebaeck]

Imo, the one you've stated is the best for a reaver warrior. This and the guard one. Getting guard and decreasing the hp price for the dragon claw attack ( don't know the englisch name, i play it in german) to 1%.. i play like this.. pretty op.

[@jeleniozaur3571]

Puddinggebaeck Best for a reaver warrior? Maybe, but on my knight-enchanter mage also worked.

[@DeathGhost809]

well, where i can find Plush Fustian Velvet? or even the normal Plush Fustian Velvet?

[@konel8245]

you can find them on red templars in emprise du lion and undead or gouls I mix those up cause they look exactly the same.

[@DeathGhost809]

Kon El thanks, although it came pretty late, i finished the game 1 year ago. but still thanks

[@hahalord7294]

the problem is, in my playstation the fade-touch plush fustian velvet effect is abilities cost 10% less mana/stamina. but why it's not the hidden blades?

[@beaueddy222]

I have onewith only 3 hits dam

[@coffeebreakhero3743]

i agree with the least but i think that if you are farming materials on a bioware game you are playing it wrong. if it is hard for you without the fade touched then lower the difficulty. my first pt i played on normal and now(second pt) that i know the game nightmare is very easy to me (except early game, which requires some tactics). you sound like you know the game so i don;t understand why would you waste your time farming. also, one more addon. there is a fade touched that does 75% damage on kill. if i do 10k hit and kil a creature with assassin archer. it does aoe 7.5k. and it does the coolest explostion in the game. i wish i could upload and show you it is so fking funny and awesome.

[@aizathawari4187]

that is why I use mod to buy these items.. I don't mind carefully plan to spend my in game money but to farm.....ugh...no

[@OroborusFMA]

What does it matter? You are so overpowered by the end your allies alone can defeat the main villain.

[@N7SOLDIER]

For the fun of it.

[@sir3543]

On hit guard is absolute trash. Just get Horn of Valor with Fortifying Blast. Seriously 5 guard is nothing compared to 10%.

[@deathstar6998]

Apparently someone is an idiot you know warriors have increased max guard to the point where they can have quadruple their healthbar in guard. Much stronger than horn of Valor, plus you can have both. And the fact that the on hit gaurd occurs per hit, meaning you use any ability that hits more than once and you can have full gaurd in a second.

[@lordofcinderdeathknight8438]

I know that lol
