Drops

I am finding myself with lots of crafting drops like granite slabs and shells for instance. Earlier in the game, i sold a load of bolts of cloth before realising i needed them for my elem armour, and i am loath to make the same mistake twice. As a result, i'm finding myself stockpiling various items.

Best of all, can anyone tell me where i might find a list of the uses of various drops, so i can always check i'm not gonna need something before i sell it?

Second best, if not, could anyone just tell me specifically whether i am likely ever to need either granite slabs, shells, bolts of cloth (after getting the 30 armour in ascalon), or tanned hide squares, if i have an elementalist/mo and a warrior/me, please?

tanned hide sq's r for warrior gladiator armour, and i think ul need cloth for new elementalist armour

For elementalist, they dont wear hard armor, so think texture, clothlike, fur square, linen, tanned hide, etc.

OK, thanks. Any1 know about whether i am gonna need granite slabs or shells then for either and elem or a warrior?

You may very well need granite slabs and shells if you want to make certain kinds of armor for warriors and elems.

On this very site, not in the forums, there are armor crafting indices for each profession, each level of armor. Check it out.

If you can't find what you are looking for, you can also try:

You wont need granite, I think thats for making some weapon, shells, I would expect something to appear that requires them.

Actually I think granite slabs might be for stonefist gloves for warrior... perhaps for geomancer elem also?

Here is another good site:

Thanks to all of you. I know that this site has armour guides, sofonisba, but they are "offline for renovation" atm. I'll try links uv all given.

that doesn't always work...

i.e. the ranger...they don't wear hard armor either...but they need wood(a hard material)
