Top 10 D&D 5e Artificer Magic Items | Nerd Immersion

[@tyleremery7088]

"What are the best magic items for an artificer?" "Yes."

[@collindouglas8188]

Tip for Ring of Spell Storing: Put 5 levels of Find Familiar in it. Now give your fighter a familiar, give your rogue a familiar, give your ranger a familiar and give yourself a familiar because General Barksnout cannot wait and is in dire need of scritches.

Artificers can play so many neat rolls in a part. I just created a Arcane Paladin for a lvl 15 one shot. Battlesmith gets use of shield, banishing smite (bleh), and haste as spells. Artificers get magic storing item at lvl 11 so you can store up to 10 cure wounds for healing purposes. Invocations allow you to easily get up to AC 23-24 with static +2 for armor and shield, and you can craft a ring of protection and/or cloak of protection, arcane jolt is a 4d6 force damage smite that doesn't use spell slots, and even though you don't have an aura of protection, you do have class feature that allows you to use your reaction to give yourself or a party member a bonus matching your intelligence modifier to their saving throws. This is all on top of the fact you get a robot dog which can give disadvantage as a reaction and can use Arcane Jolts on its own attacks. I managed to build a Gnome artificer with 168 gp at lvl 15 with an AC of 23 that I could have had at 25 if I had used half plate and cloak of protection.

[@Mnidun]

Dude, the level 15 is the funniest shit. Just attune two wand sheath, jam em into your arm then jam wands of fireball in there. Who needs full caster levels when you have a dozen fireballs chillin in your sleeves?

I personally love the idea of a magical engineer with 6 attunement slots. It's an awesome idea and the UA we used in our gsme made for s fun multi Class from a level 13 assassin rogue Good stuff my dude! I'll have to look at the phb classes

[@MrNintoku]

Repeating Shot + Antimatter Rifle = Fun on the range.

[@deirakos]

level 14* they get the feature to ignore requirements for items at 14

[@neoman4426]

Fun fact, the guy who is like, really good at stealing gets that ability earlier than the guy who has spent their life understanding magic and its practical implementation. Rogues (Thief) get essentially the same feature without the Attune slot boost one level earlier

[@kylethomas9130]

Do you think you'd do unique subclasses like Theif, or maybe even priority attunement?

[@NerdImmersion]

It's a thought I've had. I probably won't go right to it, but I'll save it future ideas. Once I've finished all classes I may take a break from class magic item lists just to break things up

[@NobodyDungeons]

The belt of dwarven kind is pretty awesome

[@blturn]

Top 10 items for wizard subclasses? Like for the Illusionist, Enchanter, Diviner, Necromancer etc. Many of them have different play styles that warrant different builds.

[@kylestanley7843]

As someone currently playing a Diviner in a Westmarch server - any item that lets you cast a save vs suck spell is wonderful. I recently got a Wand of Binding to cast Hold Monster, and it's been disgusting setting their saves so they fail guaranteed.

[@atomicash2475]

Items for companions? I can think of anything other then horseshoes and insignia of claws though.

[@lordnul1708]

I can think of hand me down gear for "apprentice" type companions, or gear that you can't use but your companion can both come to mind.

[@jamcdonald120]

5:15 wait? thats not on the infusion list?

[@crisrody852]

Artificers already get Spell-Storing Item at level 11, but the ring can be a quite good as a extra way to cast more spells, like the rod, compensating for the half-caster situation.

[@crisrody852]

ps. the most common way I see the Spell-Storing Item being used at higher level campaign is with a Tiny Servant using it for Shatter as a extra damage. I bet that if the artificer had a ring as well, he would equip it into another Tiny Servant or Familiar just for the luls

[@berserkervtuber6285]

Absorb Elements plus Rod of Absorbtion makes a healthy Rock Gnome.

[@MadpupYT]

Ring of spell storage is great for artificers... if you have spells of 3rd level or higher, or spells that use bonus actions/reactions that you want to cast regularly. Artificers have a class feature that will allow them to turn one of their arcane focus' into spell storage item. The item has slots of 2 times your intelligence modifier. The draw back is that you can on store spells of lvl 2 or lower and the spells need to use an action to cast, so no shield or haste. However, you can potentially store 10 cure wounds spells.

[@frking100]

Or just store a lot of scorching rays and roleplay a guy with a machine gun

[@EmeraldG01]

What about top 10 artificer infusions?

[@karpmageddon4155]

There are only ten infusions outside of all the items you can create with replicate magic item, so a top ten would only serve to order them from least effective to most effective.

[@EmeraldG01]

@@karpmageddon4155 true but i would still be interested.

Huh... could the alchemist--who gets the Heal and Restoration spells as 1/day effects.. Cast that into ring of spell storing? So you could "charge" up heals? Do weird spell casting like that (or Magic Initiate) count as targetable?

[@neoman4426]

Though one thing about Ring of Spell Storing and Shield/Absorb Elements, the casting time is the same to put it in, the casting time for those are one Reaction you can take when you're hit by an attack or targeted by Magic Missile for Shield or when you take acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage for Absorb Elements, so RAW you'd need to trigger the thing that allows you to take the Reaction to cast it in, and since the spell doesn't take effect right then you'll still take the damage. Pretty minor though, could have someone wail on you or you could step into the fire or whatever right before you go down for a Long Rest, just a funny image to picture

[@roninikari]

Eyes of Minute Seeing and Stone of Good Luck are uncommon magic items, which the artificer can craft permanently. Going by Xanathar's, it takes 2 weeks if you're doing it alone, raw materials, and about 200 gp before level 10; after level 10, about 3-4 days, the materials and 100 gp. Well, that and proficiency with the tools used to craft them, but you're an artificer; you got this.

[@TheMagicman1971]

One of the subclasses is the alchemist, so the robe of stars would totally fit.

[@TransHammer]

What are your thoughts on the bladesinger subclass for elf wizards? One of my players saw it online and was wondering about the class.

[@grzegorztajchman4134]

Imo not the best idea to turn your d6 hp caster with no armour prof into melee fighter. You may gain temporary mod to ac equal to your int modifier but it's still too little to keep him fighting with the big boys.I love the flavour tho,I picked it up once as a multiclass for my rogue assassin to make him feel more like arcane trickster without spell's school restriction

[@NerdImmersion]

Its can be really good and almost OP at times, I can make a video on it if you want

[@TransHammer]

@@NerdImmersion That would be really helpful. Thank you in advance.

[@yanderenejoyer]

It's pretty darn good. Super flavorful too. However you don't really go melee until level 11, when you grab Tenser's Transformation. At that point, you can go ham. At level 17, grab Sixth Sense and suddenly... I do admit it's not that unique until higher levels, but you do become a monster later on.

[@therospen4304]

I see the Blade singer as a good 3 level dip for monks. Since the Blade singer's AC boost is a bonus it can stack with unarmored defense. You can reach some high numbers once everything is stacked.

Repeating crossbow is actually really good with Crossbow expert, because it lets you use your off-hand for something like a Shield, which would normally be required to load the crossbow. (XBow expert removes the loading property, but not the ammunition property.)

[@TheSlickster65]

Wylliam Judd you don’t need crossbow expert to use shield with repeating hand crossbow, repeating weapons. Infusion removes both the loading and ammunition properties so you can use the Xbox one handed and use the other for shield with zero need for Xbow expert

[@zwordsman]

Why is it good with xpert? If you have repeating infusion on the (H)xbow, then it doesn't have loading, or ammo property. So all xbow expert gives you is close range no disadvantage I believe?

so to "Replicate" cus it clearly states it both in name and text.... does it just let you create one without the original item? because Replicate means to create a copy of an original my question is do you need to have or at least have seen the item to do so?

[@codymarshall587]

JkMusic it would work for less than a week before customers return, baffled as to why their item is mundane, usually a max of a day or two if they are personally using any infusions. If they leave town, bounty hunters and PIs get hired by every victim they leave in their wake until the world is basically a manhunt for this criminal. Scam the wrong person? They teleport to you and slay you on the spot, or worse, they turn you in. Or, at the very least, if artificers are well known in the world - people would know the difference between an infusion and a magic item. An infusion was imbued over the course of less than 8 hours and likely looks it. Magic items are often exemplary creations and likely look it.
