Hello

I have about 5k to spend right now, but I don't know what I should get. Some help would be appreciated. Here is what I have right now, mostly the "usual" stuff

www.magelo.com/eq_view_pr...num=153980 (http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=153980)

I have NO dedicated resist gear right now, I was thinking about getting a set. Would 5k be enough? And if so, do any of you have magelo profiles of your resist gear which I could see?

Thanks for your help :)

Blue diamond resist gear is hands down the best resist gear you can get for relatively low cost. I'm not sure what blue diamonds run these days. 1k? 2k? Velium bars run 232pp and platinum bars run about 110pp with good faction/charisma, if I remember right.

Velium Diamond Bracers give you about 10vsAll, and Platinum Diamond headpiece gives about the same. If you buy the materials and get a master jeweler to combine them for you, you might get lucky and get all three things for 5k or so.

You might think about buying Coldain Skin Gloves to offset the loss of wisdom gear for resist gear.

But the whole point of getting good resist gear is for raids, right? So then if you have about 20 other players at your side, will 190 wis as opposed to like 230 be THAT significant?

Yeah, but wouldn't you wear the coldain skin gloves all the time anyway =)

At 48 you really won't need resist gear.

Did you do the warden symbol of tunare quest yet?

That costs you no platinum and is well worth the risk versus reward. I say get Coldain Skin Gloves.

Having high resists on my normal hunting gear is a godsend, casters (except those necros who keep chain poison nuking, grrr) rarely hit for full, and I can kill things with AoEs (shardwurms, cobalt drakes) with much more wiggle room for things going bad.

I still have no idea why Grey Flesh Gloves are CHEAPER (on Tarew Marr, 2k to 2500 for GFG vs 2500 to 3k on CSG) than Coldain Skin, stats are nearly identical, 6 less ac on GFG, 5 more mana, 10 cold resist, 10 dex on GFG vs 9 sta on CSG.

And I'll agree on the Warden symbol, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Hmm at 48 what I would do is.

Drop the +6 wis ring in favor of a - Diamond Wedding Band.

Drop testament of vanear - Get a Sarnak Battle Shield

Do the Kromrif Military Leggings Quest (get a tank buddy for the last guy)

Do up to the 3rd shawl (easily done in a day) and get the seal of thoridan for your range slot.

And the big money spender....

Buy either - Coldain Skin Gloves or Grey Flesh Gloves (I prefer the latter...)

Also look at swapping out your GEB for Coldain boots.


There ya go, you're good to 55 or so when resist gear becomes more ... crucial.

Minor upgrades.. maybe

Cone of Mystics over paw
Mammath hide cloak
Gatorscale Leggings
Tunare playermade-idol for range (dunno stats buut i think it's better
Grass earing thingy with snare on it and good stats.
EDIT i mean... Earring of Woven bark 35mana/hp 4.5s click snare, I paid 1k on Zeb have no idea how much it should go for.


well dunno if that's much of an upgrade but i'd basically be turning you into a clone of alot of my gear... i'll edit my profile up here for you.. most of it is fairly reasonably priced/ decent gear. and and ignore the gloves.. i was wearing the ES until recently and have't gotten the time to get new ones. :)

I interchange Testiment/CGS and ES arms/Nathsir depending on the situation.. this is my most used configuration

I agree with all of the above. Except that paw is better than cone of the mystics... unless you have over 200 wis. Paw gives more ac and more mana if your under 200 wisdom

Paw also lowers cha/DR, and looks god awful F**king ugly. Sides that, he's over 200 wis. ;)

I'd say upgrade your gloves to Nathsar. It's 4 wis, and some other stats, plus 2 CR (resist gloves that are non-Velious quested are hard to find). Nathsar gloves are only about 500pp, so well worth it. Get yourself on some Fear raids, and get a Vermiculated bracer, and Vermiculated arms. Both have great resists, and the bracer has awesome wis/mana. Cone of the mystics, not sure how much they go for. And Crystal Chitin Shield's sell for very cheap, lately. If you can find one in your price range, grab it. Nice Wis, nice mana, and GREAT AC.

Whatever money you have left over, save up for resists, cuz even at 56, your ass is gonna be broke. ;)

Call me a n00b (really, do) but where exactly do I find the Warden's Symbol of Tunare quest?

Thanks =)

everquest.allakhazam.com/...quest=1254 (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=1254) for Warden Symbol of Tunare quest

Shadel Bandit rings drop from... Shadel Bandits that spawn in Fungus Grove, though I paid 3300 for mine.

edit: fixed link
