Best Gear For All Classes

[Feron]

I'm not really looking for armor, I already know that BBL3 armors are the best. What I'm really looking for are things like rings, undershirts, and pants for all vocations if possible, but I really would prefer to cover sorcerer, assassin, mystic knight, and warrior mainly.

Rings will always depend on what You want, similar goes to rest You mentioned.

You want to improve that skill you're spamming all the time, You want more resist to certain negative effect and so on.

Don't ask for "best gear". Go into the game and look what You have and what You need.

I wouldn't say that BBI 3 armors are the best. I think they are useful on your first run through the game from level 50-120. Why so many level 200s use it is beyond me. Kind of screams "scrub". The only piece that I typically use is the Leg Armor for the "Prevents mighty winds" or a lot of people use the leg armor with the extra carry weight. You can make an arguement for the enhancements on the Arms or the Head, but there really isn't a game changer like the leg armors.

Other than that, I use Dragonroar since it has a +8 Magik and +8 Strength, but most importantly it has 100% resistance to Skill Stifling when fully upgraded.

To me, the most important and hard to find items are Master rings that are either +Magik/Health or a +Strength/Health or maybe a +Strength/Stamina. On a min/max Sorcerer or Assassin, you want to go with a Health boost. On a warrior/fighter, you may want to boost stamina instead. On something like a ranger, you probably want both a Strenght/Stamina and a Strength/Health since Ranger Skill rings are not that benificial.

*I play mostly as Magik Archer or Sorcerer, so I know that I am a scrub in case any of my friends read this. :-P

Of rings: Dragonblood is pretty universal, and Barbed Nails.

Others really depend on your armor of choice. For instance I dressed my Strider Pawn with Bandages cause they supplement the lacking Defenses Lowered attrtibutes of BBI armor she has (she also donned White stockings simply cause they fit the outfit ;).

There's no such thing as the 'best armor'. It depends on what you want and like. Some go for stats, some for resistances, some for aesthetics.

I usually go for armor and gear that gives my character good protection against elements and debiliations, but I will not use anything that covers my character's face, and I will try to find combination that also looks good together and on that particular character. So I start with the coats and pants and headgear, ie things that are visible, then add underwear and rings that balance out any negative stats.

What works the best does ot necessarily look the best and ugly pawns get rented less, as do those with headgear that covers the face. Sigh...so sad.

Elemental resistances are ok but I find that debilitation resistances are more useful on my Arisen and Pawn. A posessed pawn can and will kill you so resistance to it can be very important, depending upon the foes you are up against. Debilitations like Skill stiffling, Sleep, Cursed and Petrification are also all things to watch out for as they can seriously degrade your pawns effectiveness (or even get him/her killed). So, when I rent a pawn, I look for those with high resistance to those 5 debilitations. Makes for less to carry in the way of curatives.
