Kuloth's profile: http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=794046 Finally "finished" his gear. Just thought I'd post the profile now that he's reached this stage tho - the first time in his life that I'm truly proud of his gear. It's also an example of what can be achieved without a single raid drop - it's all just grouping and bazaar. Some thoughts: * I'm a walking billboard for veksar! 7 slots filled from there. * STA 195. +22 to go from AA's. Boar adds 60, so I figure I've got 5 +6 aug's to go before I cap it good and proper. If it weren't for LDoN I'd probably be making sacrifices to get STA items in place - something I'm quite glad I don't have to do! * Next goals are: - Finish tanking AA's. PE next then maybe planar durability, the rest of CA, then the planar CA/CS things. Then sta. - Complete Stamina Quest, get it to 305 buffed. - LDoN nodrop armour - 8th shawl maybe (FT is priceless to a class that never gets to med and is constantly casting expensive spells I reckon) - Ornate plate boots maybe A penny for your thoughts?

The modern drops available in the Bazaar are remarkable. And the prices are nothing short of amazing. 2 K for a 13/20 1HS with good stats? 13/21 piercers with great stats and 10 ATK for 2 K? That's crazy! > * I'm a walking billboard for veksar! 7 slots filled from there. Kylong Darkmail is great stuff. I'm jealous of your mask - I can never catch one for sale for my wee people. At least I can sell the rogue's current mask (Rotting Eye) for more than the 8 K I paid when I finally do find a Kylong, though. > * STA 195. +22 to go from AA's.

It may seem smart now, but it will haunt you when you move on and get better gear that puts you at STA cap (and that day will happen). Get your tanking AA's instead, as they'll likely save you more HPs than the STA would add anyways. After that, look into what AA's help your class the most, get something "cool" like Unholy Steed, or start on your DPS AA's (combat fury, 2 handed bash, etc.) You're a hybrid, so you have a ton of AA's to get that can be useful. > * Next goals are: > - Finish tanking AA's. PE next then maybe planar durability, the rest of > CA, then the planar CA/CS things. Then sta. Don't do STA. Really, you'll regret it. > - LDoN nodrop armour > - 8th shawl maybe (FT is priceless to a class that never gets to med and > is constantly casting expensive spells I reckon) If you don't like tradeskills, I wouldn't recommend it. If you do, go for it. I find people that don't like tradeskills really have a tough time of the shawl and tend to burn out on the game while doing it. > - Ornate plate boots maybe > > A penny for your thoughts? Actually, I was going to suggest an ornate helm. The helms are usually the cheapest Ornate piece available in The Bazaar, and the effect (Plainsight, UV/See Invis) means not relying on buffs like Pact of Hate to be able to see. The stats are good, too - AC: 28 STR: +4 DEX: +2 STA: +5 INT: +6 AGI: +3 HP: +50 MANA: +40 SV FIRE: +6 SV COLD: +4 SV POISON: +5. Arms might be a good investment if you can find them for cheap, too, as the regen effect helps mitigate against Pact of Hate (and the stats are nice). Other than that, though, just keep doing what you're doing now - that's a very nice character! :-) James > Actually, I was going to suggest an ornate helm.

Also drops Ornate BP's (plate), Bulwark of Faith (shield) and a 14/18 1hs (think it's most melee) He's the easiest boss in BoT - we took him today with 13 people. 2 clerics 1 shaman 3 warriors 1 ranger 1 bard 1 enchanter 4 mages The enchanter was the only one with a charm pet (2 of us mages have CoTAM, but no elementals on the way to the boss). Got to use CoTAM for the first time against Chaoswind - my pet did 493DPS (89,215 damage) and I did almost 20k in nukes. Then enchanter pet did 433dps (77k IIRC)  SignatureArch Convoker Mairelon Snapbang of Lanys T'vyl http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=701866 > Some things I wasn't going to suggest until I saw the post about > the Nadox raid - [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > (think it's most melee) He's the easiest boss in BoT - we took > him today with 13 people. That is a damn nice mantle. http://www.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=18553 That would be good for me for two reasons: - my current mantle, although havign seriously cool resists, adds zero hp and stamina - it would preclude me from thinking about the 8th shawl I'll have to talk my guild into doing him at some stage :o) > 2 clerics > 1 shaman [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > The enchanter was the only one with a charm pet (2 of us mages > have CoTAM, but no elementals on the way to the boss). Cool, I regularly group with a mage...... he's a complete nutcase, bought a mana robe for 70k and has it sitting next to newbie armour pieces. He's been talking about getting some sort of elemental charm thingy for BoT, sounds like what you're talking about ;) > Got to use CoTAM for the first time against Chaoswind - my pet > did 493DPS (89,215 damage) and I did almost 20k in nukes.

I could never afford to buy veksar stuff in the bazaar... we dungeon crawled all mine - except the helm that was a gift. The mask drops of a REALLY irritatingly uncommon spawn (is a placeholder more often than synthrax's spawnpoint is) and the named can either drop the mask or a slightly less cool neck piece. It's probably never in the bazaar because people camping nobles still want it for themselves. By the far the *most* annoying piece is the boots though, the slave camp is very slow experience for a bunch of 65's and has a lot of bad, bad habits. You're also limited to one or two nameds while you're there, just from the sheer quantity of mobs you're buried under. > > * STA 195. +22 to go from AA's.

Well, it makes sense to me to get tanking AA's before stamina, but it's going to take me a hugely long time to cap it without spending those last 11 points on it... we'll see, many many AA's to spend before im at that stage. Maybe my guild will be seriously raiding by then. > > * Next goals are: > > - Finish tanking AA's. PE next then maybe planar durability, the rest [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > for it.

I *did* enjoy doing them once upon a time but every time I put a major effort into one the bottom seems to drop out of the market when im 3 points away from my goal <g> Thanks for that advice I might have to think about that one, and I've got a friend who hates tradeskills who's been thinking about it... so ill pass on your words to him. > > - Ornate plate boots maybe > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Other than that, though, just keep doing what you're doing now - that's a > very nice character! :-) Hmm that is a nice helm and the effect would help - although if im wearing my gear and am not buffed at all my neckpiece is a lightsource in a pinch. > James > > > http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=794046 > > > > > > Finally "finished" his gear.

Off the top of my head i can't think of any bracer you would want but there are a few out there that you can obtain that have sta and hit points with decent AC. Depending on what mobs you are consistently fighting your AC might be too high (meaning you could trade high ac items for more sta/hp items. The WMBS is a nice weapon but for 2 handers you reach critical mass with a weapon that has a delay of 31+ so you might think about trading that out. --Iolen > Depending on how much you want to spend, you may want to look at a > Bloodmetal Earring of Engagement, it will add more hp and stamina to one of [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > --Iolen Not really sure about what you mean by "Critical mass" at a delay of 31 and above there. WMBS is the highest DPS droppable knight weapon in the game, to my knowledge. The only disadvantage of the incredibly low delay is more ripostes, which I personally believe to be an overstated issue. Although one of my earrings and neither of my bracers add stamina, they provide excellent resists, which is one area I've compromised on. (the cloak and shoulders are a good/bad example of that) I'm kinda taken aback that nobody commented on the ceramic gavel of justice ;) Regards, James >> Depending on how much you want to spend, you may want to look at a >> Bloodmetal Earring of Engagement, it will add more hp and stamina to [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > of > justice ;) Sword of Ssraeshza is probably slightly better, Norge'tal is better yet.

Haste items have undergone the same drop in price due to the Soulscream Belt from Veksar being so common. 31% haste with nice stats in waist slot for 14 K? 36% haste in back slot (CoCW) for 20 to 25 K? Just nuts. James >> The modern drops available in the Bazaar are remarkable.

They're down to 1k or less on Lanys. I picked up a 16/25 HTH weapon, and a nearly as nice piercer for a total of <3k for my BL. Both looked to come from LDoN based on the names. I remember when Crescent blades of Luclin ran 10k plus and were a hot item <sigh> Also, the MM leggings and a LDoN cape are inexpensive, high (for bazaar gear) ac and HP for a BL.
