Has anyone been able to make a fully capped template yet with MP pieces?

You want a super non-costly(seriously i can't use ch-eap?) template? I got you one.
It caps everything except parry, and you get 20 Matter when you go 1h.
Plus it's super easy to get , all you need is a Jade Moonshone Cloak (20g), a Band of Ice(350g) and an Ancient Ebon Ring(800g).
In the end Parry is pretty much pointless unless you want to go 1vs1 (good luck finding it), and since we have rumors that SI will come soonish, it's not really worth it spending that much more just to get Parry (and thus Dex) high.

You could even just ignore the 1h weapon and the shield to save another 2p between items and spellcrafting.

I need to work on my Solo Skald template. Could anyone send me a link to items.xml in PM? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Also, should I use Moras 1.74, or is another version recommended for Uthgard 2.0?

Any template masters able to perfect my starting skald temp or spot any mistakes?
Admiralty can you do it better?

Put a few hours in this and looks bloody good in my eyes as a rather cheap starting temp

Good luck finding two of those rings, that's all I have to say for that one

I got two and last check housing there was 5 or 6 of them at 300 - 800g.

Edit:
Housing at the moment:
Rings 250-400g nine available
Cloak 2 - 2.5p three available

Guess you confused it with another ring or prices has recently changed?
I have focused the needed item farm to Dodens as Malmo have been camped like no tomorrow.

The Jarl is constantly farmed now, you can buy pretty much all his good drops for 2~3P at most. The cloak was at 10P two weeks ago and it's dropping really fast.

Anyone could help me with my questions above? I'm using Axe and playing solo, so I won't be able to use one of these templates, and rather have to do my own, but I don't have the items.xml and don't know where to find it.

Why wouldn't you be able to use one of those temps? Just switch out the weapon gems and you're good to go.

I revert my statement regarding those Dodens rings; didn't believe those would lose value so quickly. Midgard and their econmoy, tsk tsk ...

It's just that I would need to maximize Parry and my weapon specialization is Axe, not Hammer. I don't know what are the bonuses of all drops in these templates but I guessed some of them give +Hammer or that maximizing Parry would make me do some sacrifices on other attributes/resists, and hence have to change some items. But maybe I just overlooked them?

Skald templates are some of the most difficult to cap everything. You will need some serious high utility gems to cap parry in template without Shrouded Isles expansion.

Parry and Matter resists are usually first to be dropped from final template. I would focus on being a good group Skald first, get a basic template, and work towards a solo temp later when SI comes out, and you can afford MP armor.

If you're spec'ed Axe, there's a nice belt you could use, it isn't too expensive (got it for 500g). Gilded Wolf-skin Belt (Malmo drop, on some named): 4 Axe / 5% Crush / 5% Slash / 5% Thrust. That's 50 Utility.

I'd also recommend some Icebound Bracers (Dodens drop, 50 Utility which is pretty rare on bracers), their price dropped a lot recently (still more than 1p though).

With two Icebound Bracers, Gilded Wolf-skin Belt and Exquisite Infernal Black Diamond Necklace (DF), you get 26% Thrust. It makes the SC part easier.

Drop Dex before Parry. 2 Parry = 20 Dex, but 2 Parry has a much lower imbue value.
Skald is actually one of the easiest hybrid to template (if not the easiest).
