The "Quest"
Assuming you have a Girth Of The Most Holy, a hero version of the gauntlet, and are willing to blow two halves of a Once-Sundered Ring - go ahead and make one. Then give the hero gauntlet to Miloslava, followed by the ring and you get to pick one of the three options:
- Get improved held skill (which presumably does more damage) - a sweet choice except that held arrow does about half damage as constant scattering does. It can also be interrupted for 20 seconds of stun, unlike scattershot.
- Get improved scattershot skill - the regular choice for fusiliers and those archers that want to burn tons of ammo for the rest of their careers (which they should be doing).
- Get improved aimed shot - available to everyone but intended for assassins. Picking this on a fus or perma-archer is unwise.
Comments
Your hero Gauntlet will be modified and not a new copy. The level is updated to 128 (no need to alter it further) and base is set to 27. It's a small mercy considering the overall mediocreness of this piece of gear - compared to the boon a Once-Sundered Ring is to virtually any other class. Also, unfortunately, the object's Quality rating doesn't get updated to 500/500 as is standard for lord armor.
One final note - your etches from hero version are preserved. If you are using etching systems that differ between hero and lord, you will have to grit your teeth some more.
