MAGES, where do you find gear for Magic users?

[Fewher]

Am I missing something? There's almost no Mage oriented gear available until Brynn.
Even once you get to Brynn you've got one Armor and one Staff available to buy.

No one sells anything mage related other than a few staves, no one sells any armor for mages and no NPC's or Bosses drop anything mage related until Dungeons 3+.

How are you all gearing your mage stuff?

[Mimung]

Brynn is 1-2h into the game Brother.

We are gearing the way you already know yourself.

[HardWorkingLoner]

Did they remove the specific magic school gear? I remember geomancy clothes being quite strong, but I haven't saw them anywhere in the new update.

There is basically one magic gear shop. It is in Brynn, and even then, it really doesn't start selling the good stuff until you get the reputation up at least once.

Until then, you make do with rings and amulets from the jewelers, gear you find, and things the tailors sell. There are now nice boots that add to energy and energy restoration, while lowering fatigue costs. Must get for mages IMO.

The Elf emporium also has a good tier 4 belt that you can get a lot sooner than the magic store's stuff.

In my game, I got really lucky, my first dungeon I got a tier 2 magic circlet and a tier 1 belt that lowers backfire. (that last one can be bought cheap from a tailor, but free is better)

Later, in a Tier 2 dungeon, I got a tier 3 mage gloves.

But to put it in perspective, at level 22, I finally found a better (wanderers) mantle, and finally stopped using Jonah's mantle... Still using the Tier 2 circlet and tier 3 gloves, even as I start raiding distant dungeons.

Edit: Following Mimung's suggestion, I'm pointing out that I chose to play without upgrading my gear. What I meant by "putting it into perspective" Is that you do not need the gear to thrive as a mage. At level 10-12 there really were very few good gear options, so I banked my cash. by level 22, I got respect, opened up the best gear, and finally started to buy.

I've got respect... but all my gold went to the caravan. I JUST saved enough for my first few purchases... tier 5 rings, amulet, and a tier 5 staff. That made me broke. So off to distant dungeons to bankroll the rest of the gear.

You'll find the occasional piece in dungeons, very rarely. Tailors hate carrying mage gear at low levels, I think it's bad rng. Hopefully it's not intentionally given low percentages. Brynn also has the potion mage gear vendor, the guild vendor doesn't want to carry any mage gear either. I miss the old pyro / geo / elctro specific gear sets. Doubt they even exist anymore.

[Fewher]

I think they really dropped the ball on Mage gear.

Melee and Bow all have specific tier up gear available in dungeons and markets. Mages have absolutely nothing, you need to almost go out of your way just to find gear.

In your previous post you made that sound to be an issue of the game with saying "to put it into perspective..." chest, gloves, head etc. never upgraded until lvl22.

might wanna add to that, that it was your decision to spend the money elsewhere.

Mage gearing is totaly fine. You dont need specific mage gear before Brynn
and when you reach it the mage shop in Brynn has you covered.

I mean this is why i made the discussion because I can't find this stuff

[Knight Guy]

I've been visiting for a few in game weeks, my RNG must suck. I think I mentioned this. I'm glad they're still there, I was just being hyperbolic.

[Mimung]

This is amity brynn mage shop.
Im quite sure benevolence also had gear.
I highly doubt its rng man.

Can you provide a screenshot?

Maybe its a bug.

[|Revenge|]

Bro, all you need to do is reach amity level with brynn and go to the alchemist shop, it ain't rocket science.

Also, benevolence has tier 3 gear on that shop.

[Mimung]

This is from just arriving the first time in Brynn with a new char:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3389702515

absolutely reasonable stock at lvl5

if your shop doesnt have any make a screenshot and report it as bug.

this thread is the perfect example of why this game has "mixed" reviews.
