To help out crafters, can we please get higher than imbuable "single" properties on items ?

Often, loot items come with properties above the imbuable max but, they are together with properties which are not wanted and, so, often items with 1 or 2 "good value" properties are discarded because of other, not matching properties.

For example, Spell Damage Increase can be found with loot up to 18 SDI yet, when imbuable, it can only be increased to 12.

It would be nice for crafters, therefore, if the Loot engine was capable of creating items with 1 very high property, for example Spell Damage Increase at 18, or generate jewellery with the Swing Speed Increase property only, set at 10, things like these, which then crafters could use as a base to imbue other more matching properties wanted...

As of now, the odds of finding loot with matching properties are way too low and, through imbuing, the CAP is way lower as what Loot can bring.

So, players resort to grind and farm high end MOBs to generate a lot of loot in the hope that, eventually, some items will be generated with the wanted matching properties.

Not only this might promote scripting and botting since all this grinding is too much time consuming but, it also takes away gameplay from crafters since players then might only seek matching Legendary items rather then asking in game crafters to make them the items they want.

@Kyronix , can we hope that you might think over this and hopefully bring some love to crafters by making the necessary adjustments to the Loot table so that items with 1 or 2 very high (matching) properties which can then be used to imbue other matching properties will be more lileky to spawn, perhaps, in Treasure Chests and the likes, as well as on MOBs' corpses ?

Thank you.

    Yes! Why play when you can just craft the best items!

    We can all banksit and show off our armor.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    theres other ones, that are impossible to imbue.  thats where crafting is now, you dont make an end item but theres many valueable properties that you cant imbue.

    still nothing compared to the global event drops, which are the strongest in the game.  not a fan of how recent event drops have made global loot, imbuing, and crafting obsolete but crafting does still have its place for mid level characters, or to fill in important "gaps" in the stats of a suit.

    Is having a script to run BOTs to farm 24/7 for Legendaries spawning, eventually, with the right "matching" properties playing, if I may ask ?

    The grinding it takes to eventually get Legendaries with matching properties is so much time consuming that, doing it on one's own time would mean not being able to have a life other then spending time in UO all the time...

    That is at least my point of view.

    I like killing stuff.  Why would I want to do that if I did not have to.  How's that luck suit going you have been crafting for years?  Show us the pics and prove you want to craft.  It seems you just want a clicky for everything.

    LMAO  You still need to gather all resources needed so no it would not be just bank sitting.

    I've had 60k of each resource for years!  You could buy 60k of each for 1 plat or less before they changed IDOCs.
