End Game loot

[crazy7381]

I need advice on what endgame gear can make my Rogue a contender

Items I have are:

Head: Minos legen
Neck: Shintao Cord
Armor: Enlightment Vestments
Goggles: Kundarak goggles forgot regular name
Trinket: Voice of master I know this is horrible at lev 20
Cloak: Trash
Ring: Trash
Ring: Trash
Boots: Trash
Belt: Trash

What should I have as a lev 20 rogue so I can start farming raids and quests now on a side note I dumped con on this rogue when first rolled left at 8 since then I have recovered him to 16 with a +2 con tome and shintao cord.

HP is 315 I know this is extremely low please help me spec out Quazicotl or if I do not recieve feed back I will be TRing him soon.

Thank you Forum Fighters

grab a bloodstone for the trinket or a head of good fortune

could make a greensteel hp cloak to offset your lack of starting con

Not sure what tower rings a rogue would want but I would look into getting both ring slots filled with ToD loot. Possibly ravager ring for some extra damage

maybe madstone for boots, but honestly you could go anything in this slot, maybe striders if you feel slow
Belt

ravager belt if you go ravager ring to get some extra damage

These are the common, somewhat achievable options with a little bit of questing and raiding.
They aren't the best end game gear- but it sounds like you need to improve your gear drastically so we'll consider these emergency stop gap gear that should be achievable with a little auction house action and a week of farming or so.

The most important thing is getting more HP; you should be doing a lesser or greater reincarnation and balancing your stats out ASAP, but until you get your heart of wood, look for an item with greater false life and start crafting a greensteel HP item (probably triple air for the dex skills) stat.



Head: Minos legens
The most common choice, no problem here.

Neck: Shintao Cord
Belt: Trash
Shintao cord is suboptimal until you get your ring from the tower- get yourself a Vornes, Knost, or Siberys Defender belt from one of the Shavrath quests for Con +6 and Greater false life and then replace this with something else temporary- +6 wisdom, maybe 3rd tier silver flame Amulet. Gilvaenor's Necklace has a +6 Con and +2 competence to attack bonus that you could probably pick up in between now and you getting any of the other items with competence bonus- it's going to come up again and again. You could invest more and get something nicer like crafted greensteel, but eventually you'll want a tower set here and that'd be a waste. You could even go for a Golden Cartouche from Delera's for extra UMD (you have been investing, right?).

Armor: Enlightment Vestments

Enlightened vestments are also pointless if you're not a monk- find a garamol's run and farm icy raiments or work on flagging for reaver's refuge and craft your dragontouched outfit/leather. Hell, even a breastplate of destruction would be better.

Goggles: Kundarak goggles forgot regular name
The Delving goggles are decent options for at level, but even regular blindness immunity + spot goggles for your level would be better. Rogues should be running vision of destruction as often as possible to get Tharnes goggles for the +5 to hit and +8 sneak attack damage- a little harder to come by because every melee wants them but they seem to be more common these days.

Trinket: Voice of master I know this is horrible at lev 20
You have Shavrath, so farm weapons shipment with a big group, preferably loaded with casters looking for their bauble, for a shimmering arrowhead. Will also get you ingredients for your Tower of Despair bootsflag at the same time.
This can be improved to a bloodstone if you have the plat or time, but arrowheads are easier to come by.

Cloak: Trash
Easiest way to get a decent end game cloak is to run the delera's event for a cloak of the night. You probably won't be able to craft the epic version unless you can get in an easy epic like the Snitch or Big Top.
Also a decent slot for crafting your HP cloak.

Ring: Trash
Ring: Trash
These will eventually be Tower of Despair rings. In the meantime, find +6 stat bonuses, possibly +4-5 resistance until you get your icy/dragontouched. Tumbleweed from the Hound of Xoriat raid will often go up for roll with few contenders- +6 con and +2 competence to attack- the competence bonus won't stack with arrowhead, spectrals, or Gilvaenor's.

Boots: Trash
30% striders are often fit in here.
Madstones from Reaver would be an excellent option- however they also are desired by most melee.

Bracers:
You didn't mention these. Once you get Tharnes goggles, Tharne's bracers are often slotted in here for the set bonus of threat reduction and ghost touch. They aren't quite as popular with the armored melees that already have spectral gloves, although you'll still get people rolling on them from time to time.

Gloves:
You didn't mention these either.
Spectral gloves are a popular, fairly easily farming option, but until epic they won't bring much to the table once you have your Tharne's set and an arrowhead. Farm them until your VoD raiding pays off and then sell them for mucho plat or trade them for that bloodstone.
Another good option for an greensteel HP item slot.
In the meantime, probably a +6 Strength slot.
