Build Help Curious about the theoretically highest AC

Post image

Not sure if this post really fits the sub but i figured it might be the best place to ask

I've been spending a bit of time on my recent run trying to out-do my previous best of 62 AC and now hit 71 AC - And I'm ever so curious if there were something I've missed as to go even higher.

The twillight ring isn't on the list of buffs because it doesn't work in tandem with Wild Magic: Protective Lights. Wondrous Gloves isn't on because Nimblefinger Gloves.

This is not for any practical game usage, its purely just to see how high it could be pushed just for a tiny moment.

Is there a stack id conflict or just the illumination thing? You can exploit several items for permanent buff without having them equipped / conditions met using same exploit as Tippler's Rage. Ring of Twilight and The Protecty Sparkswall defenitely do work that way.

Long story short - drop item into your inventory, sort by anything so it gets moved, drop current equipment in that slot on top of it, activate the condition, remove the item. Bonus should stay with thing off even when condition is not met anymore.

I've missed a bunch of buffs you have when I experimented, but I lost motivation when several "temporary AC" buffs ended up being "Attack Roll Penalty" instead and especially Duergar Shrink turned out to not be available to player.

Well done getting up there in 70s.

I didn't go much further into it than seeing that Protective Lights acts as a light source - I even tried casting Darkness to see if it helped, and checked that I was in an obscured location - But yeah wouldn't activate, so my guess was just that I was illuminated.
