Gear Tetris, Not sure that Sharn is right, or am I good to go.

[Ddealti]

1st time player, 1st Life, Lvl 17(15Rogue/1Fighter/1Wizard)

Most of my gear is Sands of Menechtarun, with some Red Fens that I need to upgrade at 20 to Elite.


I have several one-off items, to swap on for True Seeing, Underwater Action, and Spectral and additional search, open locks, disable traps, etc.

Everybody talks about upgrading to Sharn gear at 15, but I am not getting it.

I would be doing the Rogue items, so it would be the "Part of the Family" set, and I don't see a huge improvement. As I newbie, I assume I am missing something.



TLDR: I already have gear that seems to do most of what Sharn does, so not sure what improvement would come from switching.
The augments I farmed at Gianthold, seem to give me most of the effects.
Measure the Foe and Killer Enhancements give me a lot of doublestrike, and bonus power.

you have figured out the good stuff to farm on melee.

You should already be using these without exceptions:
Crown of Butterflies (lvl5 item!)
Ram´s Belt (lvl 5 Item!)
--
Flightfoot greaves is another neat very easy to farm item for FoM.
also some form of ghostly -- be it bracers/cloak.
buy a Deathblock augment from the store.
..
Ask friendly Cannith crafter for the rest.

Thanks for they link, I will check it out. I don't have Feywild or Ravenloft for those items, but they are interesting to know about.

As I mentioned, that gear is Feywild and Ravenloft, and here we are talking about Sharn.
I wonder what you should farm, at 15th Lvl, if you are free to play and don't have Sharn?

hi, I think I wrote on your other thread. Since you posted Sands stuff, you can stay there and farm that stuff and buy stuff with the antique tokens. Some good sets are Windlasher and Vulkoor’s Cunning. For windlasher you will lose your red fens set since you will do the Necklace; the boots are a tough pull out if the raid. If you post an LFM even for epic characters, more might join and pass them (lot of good stuff drops there).

for Vulkoor’s cunning, you may need the bracers out of Wiz king. Well you can plan it out—check the wiki.
