Make sure to add "2 MR" (at least 2 per piece/ good suits have +4). Vendor search in game & use key words "platemail" w/ "mage armor" added in the gump. At GM casting skills your char may no longer be a "starter" even if u feel ur starting, heh. The starter suit is nice but its just that - a starter suit. With casting being your main focus, you need to hit the 2FC/6FCR caps. Theoretically it should be easy to reforge or loot items much better, but getting the resists and properties to line up are the hard part. Note that NONE of the body armor pieces are over 450 intensity (3 of them are in the 320-400 range) according to Pinco's, other than the shield (which is over 450 after enhancing - but is mis-calculated in Pinco's). Protector of the Battle Mage (tunic) (I could probably find better as loot if I looked hard enough)Ĭrafted Sleeves, Arms, Leggings (either runic or reforged, enhanced with Barbed)Ī looted shield MR 3, SC -1, 100 luck, DCI 13%, that was powdered, imbued, and enhanced with gold to raise to 140 luck. Ranger Cloak of Augmentation (for lack of anything better) Katalkotl's Ring (set to Mysticism - my SW & magery are 120 natural)Įarrings (currently using nightsight jewelry) Oh, and the neck slot item has ZERO resists (Pendant of the Magi). My mage has a suit that is a mix of event, dungeon artifact, and crafted items, that is around 50% SDI before book (up to 98% with an event mage book, before the city bonus), +37 INT, +24 Mana, MR 28-30 (depending on book used), 110 LRC, extremely overcapped on LMC (somewhere between 55-60%, with a cap of 40%), FC2/FCR4, all 70s even with Protection cast, 430 luck.
I would deeply appreciate the community's adviceĮDIT: Oh, and if I can somehow be a plate wearing mage, that would be awesome I know people will help me out (awesome community!), but some key pieces to focus on first would be amazing. I don't have a crafter and I appear to be too stupid to understand crafting. On the other hand, would I be better off just planning out a decent suit? Artifacts, I dunno. It occurred to me that a place to start might be clothing.I don't have any equipped right now (Britannia is disgusted), so that's some gaps filled there maybe. So time to ditch the nublet gear and get going with proper evening wear. This leaves me very little room for SDI, and I don't hit the FC or FCR comfortable points. I paired this with a Crystalline Ring and Ornament of the Magician, and managed to get a very basic Scrapper's Compendium. My current gear is the starter suit from the new players pack (the sov store item), giving me 100% LRC, 40 LMC, 70 all resists, and a number of other nice little bits like stat bonuses and regen. The thing is, I am getting somewhat pwnt. I'm not 100% sure yet what direction this whole thing is going, but it's fun Hoping to hit 100 Myst today, and complete the SW quest to get started. I have magery, eval, focus and necro to 120 now, and am working on Myst and SW. I've been really enjoying myself this week, working on getting skills up (had an alacrity token). Tis me, the newb of a thousand silly questions!
