Level 120 gear?

[rascal]

Hi all -

I'm just coming back after a break of a few years (when I left Darkmoor had just been released). I dual box and have wizards of all schools. So far, I've gotten my Balance and Fire to level 122, and am curious as to the best all around gear for them at this level. Should I be crafting? Farming?

theer is crafting in empyrea coming out soon, so for now you can focus on just getting to level 125 and when empyrea2 comes live from test realm thats happening now you can farm the new level 130 stuff or craft (if you feel the starts are worth getting)

Most wizards, mine included still use Darkmoor gear at this level (120+). There are better boots to be had in Empyrea, imo. Higher damage/good critical.

It really depends on how you set your wizards up. Critical, Damage, Resist, Healing. But Darkmoor gear (or Equivalent, Rattlebones Robes, Krokopatra hat) is still good all around.

First of all, try getting your wizards to level 125. There is some really OP gear for that level in the game already.

For body armor, there is a Skeleton Key boss, Corporal Tenni'syn in Empyrea. He's quite heavily cheating, and his outgoing damage and critical are through the roof, but a good team can defeat him quickly enough, despite the massive health. Various armors of the light brigade (there is a universal version, but school-specific ones are much better) are what you are looking for. There are some interesting wands there as well.

For hats and boots, farm Secret Tunnels in Aerial Jungle - Cabal/Cabalist in the name is what you need. Unlike Corporal Tenni'syn, off-school items drop there easily, so you go with one wizard and eventually equip everyone else. The dungeon also drops huge loads of seeds, with Evil Magma Peas, Sword Ferns and Couch Potatoes among them. Oh, and it's an extremely easy location to farm - people do all of it in under 15-20 min.

I'm still trying to determine what to farm for in terms of athames and rings - hope other people will chime in.
