32 Shadownight looking for some gear recommendations.

[salidorian]

Hello well, im a 32 SK and looking to start upgrading some gear and hoping to get some ideas. preference in Neck, Legs, Face, and belt. not looking for High High end stuff as this is my main so not overly rolling in the money But all slots are welcome as im sure im under geared in most slots. Preference is on Str/Dex equally. Thank you!

Budget Recommendations:

Neck: Golden Opal Amulet (9agi 6sta) jewelcrafter, 50-100pp
Rings: Platinum Fire Wedding Rings (5ac / 55 hps) jewelcrafter 200-250each
Arms : Azure Sleeves (12ac , 0wgt) 25-50pp
Gloves: Darkmail Gauntlets (10ac 5dex 50mana) 100-150pp
Back: Seb Scale Cape (9ac 4dex 4int) ???pp
Boots: Dwarven Work Boots (8ac 3str 5dex) 400pp ish
Helm: Skull Shaped Barbute (13ac 35 hps 10sv magic) 300-500pp
Mask: Sarnak Hide Mask (6ac 5str) 400pp ish
Earrings: Platinum Bloodstone Earrings (6sta) jewelcrafted ??? pp
Shoulder: Carnal Pauldrons (9ac 7dex 15mana) nodrop from solb, ask royal group
Range : Dragoon Dirk (2dex, 3 sv magic) 50-100pp

That should be a good start.. Other items offer more dex in the mid-ranger, but at huge expense to AC/HP/STR, which as a tank is a no-noi, really.

Darkforge pieces have great stats, but I don't play a SK so can't stat those out for you (or price check em) off the top of my head. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

A few relatively budget options (the Darkforge will probably be the most expensive). Some of these are not necessarily better than what you already have, but are worth consideration as you acquire/change other pieces:

Face: Grotesque Mask (3AC, 7 Dex, -9 Cha)
Shoulders: Crested Spaulders (11AC, 6 Sta)
Neck: Sapphire Platinum Necklace (7 Int, 7 Str)
Legs: Darkforge Greaves (13AC, 9 Sta, 3 sv magic)
Belt: Black Iron Girdle (6AC, 5 Sta)
Arms: Darkforge Vambraces (11AC, 4 Str)

The plat fire wedding bands (5ac/55hps rings) are some of the cheapest 10AC/110hp you can get in the game. They are nearly BIS for 400-500pp. They cannot be recommended enough.

A good belt is the Thick Banded Belt. With a group you could do the assassin/supplier camp in LGuk and camp them yourself or I think you can find it in EC in the 2kpp range.

Finally, although not one of the slots you're looking for, Skull Shaped Barbute for the head is pretty much the best you will do until you get to planar.

Good luck!

What race are you? If you are an Iksar some of of the above-mentioned suggestions won't work(ie Darkforge, etc.).
