Netted kelp armor for mage?

[Jabober]

Been bored with my SK and have a mage I might level. Is the full set of Netted Kelp armor decent to start him out with?

Cheap, decent stats. Whole set adds the following.

+67AC +49STR -55CHA +56INT +67STA +3WIS +86SVF.

Is the -cha irrelevant?

It should affect how you roleplay and how other players react to you.

Dang, the - charisma won’t help with the ogre ladies huh? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think you'd be contesting your charisma vs their wisdom … still in with a chance!

Actually they might think it's cute.

That +Int they might find repulsive though.

I like the look of that armor set, good stats for a new Mage too. Just take it off when vendoring

Yes it’s a nice set. My wiz is usually down about 150 mana with it but the look…

Great for a Mage farming giants/guards/Droga. Having 150+ STR is a game changer and allows you to hold a camp much longer between vendor trips.

I use netted kelp on my necromancer. The cool appearance feels kind of lost since I’m in skeleton form most of the time, but the main thing I do notice is that with netted kelp I have so much strength that I can completely fill my inventory with fine steel and still be fine. Meanwhile my enchanter loots two items and I’m encumbered, lol.

For plat grinding I think netted kelp has some real utility.

Appreciate the advice guys! I might do a wizard instead though haha. I have both a necro and Druid and besides charming in permafrost on the Druid, the quadding was fun for me.
