Lvl 21 Mage, would like advice on what gear to get, have some platinum if necessary. Are there any guides on best gear?
I'm not sure about any guides on best armor gear
I personally use int/str gear. Once you get to 26 there is a good chance you'll start eyeballing mythic stuff.
Best advice I can give is to purchase lvl 20 vampire amulets, one for int, dex, and str. Then equip them check your skill damages and check out your stat screen while each one is on and compare. Pick what suits you best. Won't be much, maybe 3-4k for all three. It really highlights what each stat does for you.
Agile flame strike for a weapon. Excellent weapon you unlock at lv21
Thanx, I shall look for that weapon. Regarding the vampire amulets, is it not best for a Mage to invest purely in int, this is what I've been picking up elsewhere in the forums.
I forget what ring and amulet I use, but get Soulcatcher mantle and helm, the INT/STR version, and Dimensional Percussion, also the INT/STR version. The ring is also INT/STR, but as for the amulet, I couldn't find any that gave STR so I just went with INT/DEX. Make sure you find the ring and amulet that gives a slight armor bonus.
I'm not saying to use that amulet in battle. Use the 3 different pure stat versions to compare your stats so that you can see what everything does for you. It's just a cheap way to get to see first hand the benifits of different stats. For example, I now know that int raises health, dex raises health more, str raises health the most. That kind of info is good to know, much better than using an item under reccomendation(regardless if its a good item or not)and not even really know why you're using it
To answer that statement, the reason why people use their item is either because 1.) It's good, or 2.) I'ts affordable. So why not give recommendations to people that ask for recommendations to what item they should use or not?Quote:

Thanx for the recommendations, that's really helpful. I'm now earning some platinum to buy some gold!Quote:

Do u know the name of the ring and amulet? There are tons for sale lvl 21 ish.
Thanks for the heads up Humor :)
3.) They're not sure what they are doing
Just like to spread the knowledge is all so everyone can choose thier on path
Ornate braid of security is an int/str ring
Infused necklace of stability is an int/str necklace

If you can't find the items with INT/STR that are affordable, you can always buy INT/DEX items, farm for some essences, make gems and input INT or STR gems into the necessary items. And just food for thought, but plat to gold conversions are not worth it.Quote:

I'll probably get back to you about the real names of the rings and amulets I use, then again, you don't necessarily HAVE to use the ones I'm using. Whatever rocks your boat is fine by me.Quote:

i made a gem for a quest but it only added 2 INT. Considering I found it hard to find the essences, doesn't seem worth it for just that.
The plat is obtained free btw?
Yeah, I think I used Ornate Braid before, the name is familiar. And each gem only adds 2 to the desired stat (minimum) which seems a bit low, but let's say you're full legendary. That's 5 legendary items x 2 slots x 2 to desired stat. That's 20+ extra stat points, right there! It may seem to be worth it at first, but in the long run, it's tremendously beneficial.Quote:

yes when you put it like that, I can see the benefit. Particularly if you can swap out gems already made, that makes it a lot better. Plus might be more than the min 2 points.Quote:
