Glassblower's bauble

Just roll increased quality on a chemist strongbox? Cuz them glassblowers are rarer than alchemys these days. Heck I've gotten more chaos orbs than glass blowers.

If you ever use a unique flask you'll wish you'd saved some up.

Glassblowers' baubles are not very common drops, but you can make them by selling 40% total quality of superior flasks (or one perfect quality flask). Superior flasks drop quite often, so you can obtain a decent income of baubles if you are scrupulous about picking up superior flasks from the start of the game and saving them until you have enough for a bauble.

i always like to have a quicksilver with quality and remove curses for when i'm farming around in lunaris. 6,5 seconds of curse immunity is a blessing down there when you still squishy

2. A topaz flask that dispels shocked

I disagree, a Topaz Grounding Flask is actually very counter-intuitive. You want to pop it to prevent taking [big] Lightning Damage and potentially preventing, or lessening, the Shock Duration, but doing so makes you lose a Use of Shock Dispel, which then makes you face a dilemma:

Do I use it to take less damage now? Or do I save it and dispel the Shock I'll get to prevent future damage, provided I don't die to the damage that Shocked me?

That's not something you want to be internally struggling with in a HC dangerous scenario...
Granted, it does help you to remember WHICH Flask actually has the Anti-Shock, since it's the same type, but ultimately it's not efficient.

Having apposing Flask Types with the apposing Anti-Status Affixes, is the most efficient in my opinion, because while you're not facing a Mob/scenario where you need the Flask, you instead need it's Affix, which makes you have more Flasks at your disposal for every scenario, and makes you not waste Charges. ~.^


Also, a tip that someone gave me on Nemesis that I thought was really good:
Put your Warding on a Utility Flask, not a Life/Mana Flask, because that way you won't lose the effect once your Life/Mana is topped off, and instead get the full duration of Curse Immunity. I find it's best on an Ample/Surgeon's Quicksilver of Warding.


PS. I'm pretty sure GGG nerfed the Bauble drop rate to near Exalted drop rate. So yeah.. o_0

Landscape drop rate does not matter as the vendor recipe is very easy to use to build up stacks of these. I don't even pick up superior flasks any more.

None of my Flasks are 20q because I don't bother picking up Superior Flasks...
At least none of my Flasks from AFTER the Bauble drop-rate nerf.. :S

Your choice - makes no difference at all until somewhere around level 60 or so. Once you get to end-game, flask quality can have a noticable effect, especially if you use red flasks for instant-heal, where the quantity of healing is already not that large.

The problem is that it takes months of normal play before you've even got a perfect Flask setup. So you don't want to waste Baubles on your intermediary Flasks... :S

I id/trans/5vendor Recipe Flasks hoping to get decent ones to use or sell. I made some decent money that way in Nemesis. But getting the right Flask mods you need, is tricky and takes time. >_<

Maybe I should pick them up, for when I eventually do need them. Do people ever buy them?

The Ruby/Topaz/Sapphire are pretty freaking important on the new content. Any melee facing Rima is going to need a sapphire, and anyone facing Atziri without a Ruby+ Topaz has huge balls or little sense.

Life Flasks do so little given players' health pools that NOT running Resist Flasks, is kind of stupid..

Though I always run a Topaz because I always run Lightning Coil in Hardcore..
