Arcane Magical Writings are one of the items needed to restore the Weapon sets in RD. While there are many things needed, it turns out this is one of the major barriers because it takes so many, and they are so slow to gather. Needed 105 for the set of Main hand, Offhand. How to get them, listed by what I think of as the order of difficulty:

Ready to give the Assault on Svardborg a go? Here are a few things that may help: I can describe the mechanics all day, but seeing them as they are described it is more helpful so start here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSxhw5rygAA The mechanics in SVA are the same in both the normal version and the master version. The difference in the master version is that once you die, you can not re-enter the fight. Key mechanics:
Just to review.. SOMI is of course Sea of Moving Ice. Its the area associated with Mod 10.5. Important maps: This shows treasure map locations. http://i.imgur.com/KW0M1yY.png Less useful for the campaign but still fun, the map of fishing spots and their names. This is used to finish out your fish collection. Check each of the fish in your collections tab ('ctrl-j') and look up the name of where its found on this map. http://i.imgur.com/212JZbs.png Elynaen recommends this map: https://imgur.com/a/ZV5Z8#3sPH6om The next boon. We're just about due for a new boon plot. Here are the thoughts going into choosing which plot we get. Here is the official page that introduced the Stronghold boons. Neverwinter: Boon Structure Guide What we have: Barracks
Right now we have the Barracks, that we have been working so hard in recent monthes to upgrade for our power boon. This structure gives us our Power and Experience bonuses. We have one more upgrade for that structure that hopefully will be occurring in the next few weeks. At that point it will also have an Incoming Healing bonus. Its been a while now since the Gateway was closed down. Yet we still have professions, that work in the same way that they did before. There's been some nice additions, like the vouchers for SH progression. But the same click fest applies to professions as always. Its still possible to level professions without wearing out your hands however. Here are some tips that I have found useful. Ok maybe not the last one (Which is a key on your keyboard.) .. but caps on stats can be confusing. Hard caps on stats used to be more prevalent, but they still exist. A hard cap is a value beyond which no improvement occurs. If you have power with a hard cap of 100, 1 million power gets you the same effect as that original 100. What is hard capped in Neverwinter?
This leads to talk of 'diminishing returns', curves, and fancy formulas. Its not necessary to get into all that, as long as you realize that whatever the soft cap is, adding beyond that gets expensive and doesn't do you very much good. You're most often better off improving other stats after that point. There are very few exceptions, but you really have to know what you're doing to get the balance right in those cases. What is soft capped in Neverwinter?
One thing that may add to the confusion must still be mentioned however. If you are at the soft cap for something like combat advantage there can be differences between things that say something like "adds 100 to combat advantage" and those that say "adds 5% to combat advantage". In many cases the 2nd one will still help. Further research will need to be done on your specific item. EDITED: Removed regeneration and movement from the list of soft capped stats. Though rarely fully discussed, it appears that these are not actually soft capped. Heres another trick for increasing the returns we get for Conqueror Shards. This one comes from the quest rewards available after the end of the Maze Engine quest line. The pic below shows the entire campaign. At the top is 'Defend the Sword Coast', which returns Gauntlgrym Bounty after 5 dailies. Out of that we can get 10 Conqueror shards. Things are quiet for our guild with the approach of the holidays and all the busy times around them. It is however also the time for some of the biggest events and sales all year in Neverwinter. We'll see if we can take advantage of at least a few of them. One upcoming event we are looking at is here in 42 days from the time of this posting, roughly from christmas through new years. This is the 'double power shards' event, and it includes double Conqueror Shards of Power as well. The siege has been on for almost a week now. There is still another week to go and most of the prizes are still up for grabs. ..and it will return again! Each time it comes we try to take advantage of what it offers for the SH.
