You know what, you are right, I completely forgot about that. So it should be in the list. LOL... I am glad I still mentioned it though.

Where does untyped bonus come from?

or Divine and Sacred? Is one from the paladin Aura?

[RobbinB]

On the subject of good drops, I just got Black Widow Bracers in my end rewards. So of course I took them and equipped, only to find out they are all but useless on a warforged. A +2 docent coupled with the +2 from composite body gives the exact same benefit, I didn't realize they both used the same bonus type. At least I have bracers in bank in case I ever roll a fleshie cloth class.

For intermediate levels, you might find armor bracers in combo with a +1 fearsome or +1 deathblock docent could actually be useful.

[Credinus]

Alchemical AC bonus, as well.

Orchard explorer zone has been dropping some good handwraps for me lately.

[Letrii]

Alchemical AC bonus, as well.

Is it worth using the ritual on gear around level 5?

Is it worth using the ritual on gear around level 5?

That really depends on the gear. It's easy enough to get the khyber shards and prayer beads for the ritual, but it can take quite a bit of farming harbor quests to get the pure water. If you're using an item you plan on using for a while, such as an outfit of invulnerability (which is pretty useful up until around level 10 or 11), then it's worth it. Otherwise, you're better off saving your items until you get a more long-term robe/outfit.

I have been unable to find any good docents, currently just using a plain +3.

[Credinus]

I have been unable to find any good docents, currently just using a plain +3.

In that case, I'd hold onto your items and pick up a +5 docent as soon as you can use it, then just toss it on there. I imagine finding a good monk-appropriate docent might be a little more difficult that a monk-appropriate robe or outfit.

or Divine and Sacred? Is one from the paladin Aura?

Honestly i dont recall, I know those are the bonuses types. Sacred is like paladin Defender of Siberys, I believe they get an AC bonus and its sacred. Divine I am not sure is DDO or not but that is godly bonus... Untyped is like monks buff, but not sure if something gives an untyped AC bonus. I honestly dont keep up with it that much. Paladin Aura is either Untyped or Divine because it stacks with everything.
