best 50 gear

[azulflame]

I am coming up on 50 fast, leveling up every day or two, and I need to know what gear to get. I am currently thinking mystery armor and helm, with keeper staff of cosmos, and maybe the cosmos wand and bracer w/ mystery armor. any suggestions?

Well I have a dexchantress if you need any help with dex I would say best is death set

The best for an INT mage is the shadow set with glow stick and creepy doll.. But its very expensive though =/

If you don't have a lot of gold, but have plenty of time on your hands - then you could go for the mystery gear or the cyber gear on AO3. The higher end premium level 50 gear is either cosmos items (which is the oldest set) or as KaotilicxDream mentioned the Shadow set. The Shadow set is in my opinion superior to Cosmos, but you get a nice set bonus with the Cosmos II set. Alternatively, you could just save your money and not bother with any of those items and when you start playing BS you could use the items there instead. They are cheap and relatively easy to find and if you get a good combination, then they are probably superior to the shadow items.

I say for Int,
Mystery Staff, Shadow Helm and Shadow armor, Or shadow set

This set is hands down the "best" set for an Int mage. It also runs close to 1 million for the full set.

With a little determination, and a lot of hard work, you can get the cyber set from AO3. I did that, and it was free. I got the set at lvl 51, and from running so many bosses, I made about 300k on gold and items. I did them as a pally and wore rift armor, but you could also do them with mystery armor (which I think is the worst set) or with cosmos armor (or even in your khafka armor, but that will be hard).

thanks for the info. I would like information on setups that are all-out damage, an armor-based one, and one that balances the two. money and time are not issues.

do not have to be actual sets, just certain gear that all have good stats. and I will probably make a setup where there is a mix.

Full shadow is significantly better than the cyber set. IIRC, the cyber staff isn't especially great.

@azulflame:

You may want a full set not a mix because of the set bonuses. The full shadow (helm, keeper's armor, creepy doll, and glow stick) gives a nice set bonus and decent survivability. I levelled all the way to 56 on my shadow set and still have it.

Edit:
If you want more info, we need to know what kind of mage are you (pure int, pally, dex-mage) for more recommendations.

[azulflame]

pure int, only "famous" pink weap I have are two keeper of cosmos staffs, and I also have some looted 50 pinks.

[WhoIsThis]

Your options are to work towards the shadow set, get the cosmos set, or to stay with what you have until you get to the sewer gear.

almost 47, dying to get to 48 to get in caves and sewers

If I can handle the caves pre-update at 43, then i can defiantly handle them post-update at 46. why was the min level so strict?

[Lowlyspy]

if ur a pally i highly recommend the sword and shield rift set, from wat ive seen it has the best set bonus (adds the most variety) plus it has some pretty good health regen and moderate mana regen.

EDIT- oh haha, didnt see u say u were pure int :P

I wouldn't worry about that - I'd recommend staying in A03 until 53. People will boot you on sight if you are not 50 - often if you are not 55.

Shadow For Pure INT
Or for Dex/INT use Death set aka seniteles set.

[Pandamoni]

If gold isn't an issue then I'd suggest shadow w doll and glow stick.

I used my shadow gear up to 55 and it did great.

If you have no money and lots of time, I recommend skipping 50 set or get cyber set quick and just go for 55 ASAP. 55, you don't need expensive sets like fury fighter or MM set. There are plenty cheap and good items.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am still fairly new to the game. I just started playing a month ago.
So forgive me, how do I get the "cyber set" and where. Thank you again.

The wand isn't part of the quests.

If you're going for defense then the shadow set is the best. If it's offense then it's the Keeper Enchantress set.
