New Mage.. need some gear advice please =)

Tro · 02-17-2006, 08:48 PM

I was just wondering what decent INT/Power Mage gear is out there that is either legendary crafted, quested or looted from mobs?

Is there a mob or two I can camp to get maybe a nice INT upgrade? I am lvl 21 atm but will likely be 25ish after this weekend.. I know upgrading spells should take precedence over gear but I have most all my 20-30 Adept III's already and have 7 t4 rares for that tier..

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks

You'll be leveling so quickly at your level that I wouldn't worry about armor until you're in your late 30's. It'd be a waste of time/money to find anything that you should use, at your level.

I didn't bother getting legendary gear on my alts until they got to T4.

Ok sounds good.. Actually I gained 5 levels over the weekend and am lvl 28 now. Can either of you (Or anyone) tell me the actual name of the T4 legendary gear I should get that provides the most INT/Power. Again, I am clueless when it comes to a non plate wearing class.

Appreciate the replies..

all you should care about is INT >>> I am level 47 still wearing items that are grey for the INT....

Tro · 02-20-2006, 10:01 PM

yea I still have gear that is grey but has nice INT.. Was just wondering if the t4 Legendary crafted would be better INT/Power wise.

Still would like to know the name of the t4 Legendary crafted gear for Mages. And maybe t5/6 also. This way I can look it up and

make my decision if I should use it or not..

Thanks

No...INT and Flowing Thought...go go FT!!

Tro · 02-20-2006, 11:57 PM

You can bet I will be goign after the RoI as soon as I am able.. can't wiat actually..

Aera · 02-21-2006, 12:18 AM

RoI really isn't worth the frustration to get anymore, IMHO. It got the nerfbat long ago and a portion of its FT was taken away. If you get it, by all means wear it, but I don't think it's worth the grind anymore.

RoL is too hard to get...the Tae Ew robe has FT

Jeradim · 02-21-2006, 05:34 AM

RoI still has FT7, and if you're doing the quests in Feerrott anyway (some of which are quite good like the ones at the good camp which at the the end of the series gives a 14 INT shoulder piece), then chances are good you will get the robe to drop by the time you're finished.

To answer your question, the T4 rare armor you need is cloth armor <--it's actually called cloth for T4. Eg. Pristine Tailored Cloth Cap, Pristine Tailored Cloth Blouse etc. You need an oak root, a glimmering item for the chest and legs so you can imbue them, and a friendly tailor willing to make them for you.

Koehianna · 02-21-2006, 10:43 AM

RoI was definitely worth it for me. I camped the Huuptics at the dock for less than (or around) 30 minutes and I got the tattered robe to drop. That's obviously not the same situation I hear with my guildies, but I say it's worth camping for. :smileyvery-happy:

Thanks for the name of the t4 crafted armor.. Appreciate it.. Either way, whether killing specifically for the RoI quest starter or doing quests, I am sure I will get it. I will just have to be patient.. Maybe I will get lucky and have it drop after like 30 mins SMILEY
