Construct Gap 06/15/2015 10:41 AM CDT
Hi all,

I'm sure this has come up before but just in case.

I have my empath in Origami and she loves it. However I'm noticing there is a pretty big gap between Origami and the next level, Granite Gargoyles (not counting small boggles since they cap before Origami).

Is is possible to create a construct to fill this gap? My preference would be the Crossing area.

Thank you!

IIRC, this is what Absolution is for. Go hunt Reavers or such.

This actually came up very recently. Hard to find the thread without a search function, but I recall that I suggested a Beauty-and-the-Beast-style ambulatory furniture.

Empaths with Absolution can use the undead to fill the gaps in the construct ladder, but additional low-level hunting options would be nice for Empaths who start hunting right out the gate and reach that gap before they have access to Absolution.

Wierd, according to their lore, faenrae reavers are supposed to be living cursed.

They're definitely undead right now. Can't do thana on them either.

A lot of mobs are like that tbh, they're just set up weirdly. The older they are the more frequently this happens.

The mechanics that control a lot of this are... weird.

Absolution can be inconsistently cast around 50 ranks or so, more reliably with a good SAP.

Not a fantastic option, but it's more than enough to get you over the low-level hump.

Ah, good point. I suppose in lieu of releasing more critters, Absolution could dropped down a peg or two on the casting difficulty ladder?

I currently have no intention of making Absolution easier to cast.
