Gear Information

Best in Slot Gear and Where to Get It

Before applying gems and enchants to your equipment, make sure to check whether there might be an easy-to-get item that is better than the one you're currently wearing!

Gear

In addition to enchants and improvements to your gear, making sure you come prepared with the right consumables to endgame content has a big impact on your performance.

In general, Flask of the Magisters is the best flask to use. However, other secondary stat flasks are alternative options depending on the stats that your equipped gear provides. You will have to sim yourself to figure out whether another flask might be better, but the Magister's flask will serve you well in most scenarios.

The best potion to use is Light's Potential. It increases your Strength significantly for its duration. Draught of Rampant Abandon provides slightly more Strength, but has a downside that is not always easy to play around.

Silvermoon Health Potion is the best option you have for a health potion.

Royal Roast and other similar food that buffs your Strength are the best food to use. If a feast is placed, we recommend eating from it instead as it also provides Stamina alongside the primary or secondary stat.

If you want to (and can afford to) use them, Void-Touched Augment Rune is the best choice.
