[Daemoneyes]

Heyho
i am a PM, Taenebrae of Argo (Drow/firstlife) and could use alot of help with my equipp,
its a bit embaressing to post it but i guess theres no way around. ^-^

i am f2p so not all content is aviable to me
i got Phiarlan (mirrorcloak), Vale (concops), Gianthold (duh ^^ dragonstuff looked nice),
(also all lowlvl packs except the raid but i think thats not importent?)

i can and plan to buy Necro4 (for shroud & shields), Demonqueen (torq & stuff) , DreamingDark

(ioun stones for endlvl and TR) atm i wait with buying in hope of -35% but i guess that wont

happen :/

mid30 Crafting skills, got some hundred essences each (and a few thousend lower)
So thats what we got to work with

(atm i run Epic Norm with this stuff and its goin easy,
in group Epic Hard is no problem but solo in Hard i run out of SP )
[got some stuff with large slot but our guildlvl is atm to low to use it so if someone wants to

trade for Greensteel mats i hear ya 2rings/1robe/1necklace and more]

what i have:
Trinket - Voice / craftable trinket
Head - Darkstorm (lightning&necro SP&Lore)
Googles - +6 Int
Collar - +6 Const (have item with med slot if needed)
Armor - Spearblock / Heavy Forti. / Deathblock
Bracer - Necro Focus (med Slot +sp)
Gloves - +5 Str (have item with med slot if needed)
Belt - False Life (med Slot +hp)
Cloak - +2 Resists (med Slot +reflex) yeah its bad but for the hell of it i cant find or buy a +5 or
better that would not cost more then i have platin, also i use nightshield all the time but +3 doesnt make it much better ><
Boots - +25% Stride +5move Silent
Ring left - light fortification & Wizardry 3
Ring right - lesser arcane spell failure (needed for shield) & poisen resistance +6
Mainhand - epic Cove Dagger / Acid SP&Lore Dagger
Offhand - +4 Large Mithral Shield


what i want (or at least what i know of ^^) :
Trinket - Ioun Stone Spellabsorb / Litanei
Head - Epic Darkstorm (lightning&necro SP&Lore)
Googles - Epic Spirit Sight (colorless slot, greater necro&enchant focus)
Collar - Torq / epic Torq (colorless slot)

Bracer - Epic DemonConsort Bracer (Demon hp+debuff+guard, Colorless & Yellow Slot)
Gloves - Epic Bramble Casters (greater Spearblock, greater Thorn Guard, Yellow Slot)
Belt - Epic Lionheaded (+6str, +6con, colorless & yellow Slot)
Cloak - Epic Phiarlan Mirrorcloak (!Light resist30!, 5spellabsorb, 30spellresist, ..) / Widow Weave Cloak maybe worth for Web immune? dunno how bad webbing gets in expansion
Boots - ? (dont care about striding, exp retreat is enough for me)
Ring left - ? / Sanuras Band (+100% neg energy healing, guess that has to wait for next life but

what is the second item for the set?)
Ring right - Epic Elemental Essence? (yellow slot, +5 ele resists, Archmagi, )
Mainhand - Epic Cove Dagger?
Offhand - ?

dont know where to place: ConcOps hp or sp with cha skills item, guess boots is best place?
which pack is the Quest Weapons shipment? could use Myst. Bauble ^^

bit further info
yesterday i run my first shroud so more then 1 greensteel isnt realistic atm but after hearing

that Torq is such a rare drop maybe ill go for concops necklace first?
use mostly Necro & Lightning & Acid spells so SP&lore for them in equipp should be considered


greetz and thanks

start slowly with easy to get gear, then work to get some epics.

some hints from the top of my head:

run mindsunder till you get death's touch - upgrade it in dreaming dark for nice +2 necro, void lore and spell power

run adq - base demon bracers are still good for pm although I would use the glacier set ones (ice shield, 200sp, spell pen) plus a chance for torc

Magewright's Spectacles - 6 int spell pen ix from house C rares.

robe - dragon touched (can customise it very nicely)

gloves - I would put here 45hp gs with a guard effect - shroud grind

boots - propulsion (30 stride, ff, wing clicky for emergency) tod boots

farm dreaming dark for spell abs and 200sp stones - will come handy when you decide to TR
farm shroud to get mats for con opp (preferably goggle slot) and/or hp item (since you're 1st life drow you are probably sqquishy :P)

some epics are easier to get - ring of elemental essence/diabolist robe (+7int epic conj focus)/house P cloak - but you will probably need 3 piece abishai (cloak,boots,helm)

and if you're going into epic leves... there are a lot of options there

[sirgog]

Once you hit 22 (trust me, you will be there fast), you will really want to trade for a Spidersilk Robe with Intelligence and also a Planar Focus with Intelligence (one of these +8, the other Insightful +3). Whilst you might not wear it forever, it will be a huge upgrade and can be traded from other players.

Make a tier 2 Greensteel ASAP (positive/positive as you'll use the clicky forever), then later stop wearing that one and make a new tier 3 one (conc-opp or Mineral or Ash depending on your preference and other gear).

Most of all: Run Epic VON6 (not on elite) every time you are off timer. You probably won't use any loot from the raid, but it drops a lot of red dragonscales which you can trade for things you need. On Hard it is extremely forgiving of mistakes, on Normal it is a total joke.
