Spell Penetration Help!
I need some of y'all Pathfinder wizards (as in experience, not necessarily the class) to help me.

What are some of the other ways to get spell penetration [;)] other than the feats?

I feel like half my arsenal as a caster is moot at the later stages of the game because I only have 10 - 13 spell pen and all the beasties worth blasting are sitting at 23+ resistance. I've just turned to doing nothing but buffing with that character.

Feats are the main way but I have run across a few items that boost it. More so in act 3/4. My nenio has a staff, shirt, and something else that does and it all stacks

End of Act 4 my main sorc has about 35+ Spell Pen (more if I stacked every single Spell Pen item on sorc..i gave a couple to Ember) in combat. It is reaction due to me having trouble getting through resistances on some bosses, especially the optional ones, in Act 1 and 2 (I faced a 35 spell resist monster in act 2). My Sorc damage (and cc) is usually the reason I win the toughest fights so I made sure that no spell gets resisted.

You'll get many items plus potentially mythic-related abilities that can make it go up quickly. If your main damage is coming from spells, I recommend focusing on Spell Pen from feats and abilities. If your party if mostly killing from attack damage, focus more on cc and buffs.

Well... I'm playing an Azata, and they get access to a Superpower at mythic tier 4 that allows you to roll twice and take the better result on caster level checks to overcome SR.

Also the elf race gets a +2 to SP

1. Elf. You can respec your MC to Elf also. I did.
2. Sorcerer. Lame wizzards, sorcerers the best! :d There is a sorcerer path for spell penetration focus even.
3. Spell penetration feats.
4. Spell penetration group feat.
5. Spell penetration items.
6. Some buffs.
7. Focusing on 1 element if you go Destruction helps. I chose Fire. Easiest to max.

My MC Azata sorc at lvl 19 has +Modifier to SP of >100 buffed, >70 unbuffed + dice roll. The toughest enemy i faced at lvl 18-19 had SR value of smth near 50-60.

Feat, mythic abilities, caster lvl ( lich or angel with merged spellbook) and elf racial pretty much.

On my Azata playthrough, I simply went with the Ode to Maraculus magic, along with having that one Metamagic feat that allowed for re-rolls on spell casts. Which ended up giving my spells three whole re-rolls each time I cast them, 'cause that that point I stopped bothering with trying to penetrate the enemy's high will, fortitude, etc stats and do everything in my power to have the most chances of the enemy rolling a Critical 1 for my spells to take effect. And the crazy thing is that it kinda worked lol.

Any skill/item/weapon that raises DC of your spells, weakens saving throws of your enemies, adds CL (caster level) of your spells and last but not least get the elemental ascendancy mythic skill to circumvent immunities/resistances to elements.

could someone please post all the bonuses or a screenshot of said 60+ spell penetration ? because i cant wrap my head around how is that possible even with all the items in the game and mythic paths i get calculate of getting like +45 which is a lot sure but that sacrifices everything else at which point its not importaint if your spell go through spell ressistance.
