trying to make a gear reference thread

Will update this all tomorrow. Too tired right now...

By dint of the way mana calculations work:

At level 50, every point under 200 = 12 mana per 1 wis. Every point over 200 up to 255, 6 mana per 1 wis. So if you're a high elf (like many clerics are), once you break 200 wisdom, you are frequently going to be better off with +mana gear/+hp gear (Black sapphire) then more +wisdom.

This got changed during Velious and then again during Planes of Power. Not sure what the exact changes were. I asked in OOC and they said the mana calculations should be correct.

I was under the impression that during classic, any int/wis above 200 was on a 1 to 1 ratio. Are you certain that the 6 to 1 ratio was classic?

12 to 1 under 200 at 50, 6 to 1 over 200 at 50. Definitely for clerics. I'll try to dig up some ancient EQ clerics posts later.
