The Spirit Realm

Looking for advice on upgrades.

LVL 71 pally > Gear is up-to-date, AA's and Keys...not so much.

Limitations are:
-Only 60k in the bank to spend (and 48 Radiant Crystals currently)
-I already know I need Haste (traded up a belt)
-I don't box, sometimes group and rarely raid (CoA mostly)

Yeah, this ones an easy one: Augs: hit up RS and Dreadspire...get u some 25 ac augs for starters....start gettin in on Anguish Runs for augs and Gear there....thats a nice start. im pretty sure someone might be doing anguish publicly, maybe even demi. Also work on ur crystallos flag..once ur in there u can loot rotting gear u can use at a later date.

Buy some defiant armour for most of visible slot, you oviously need to check see which is an upgrade or not, most of defiant stuff are really cheap, in the range of 1k to 5k, the greaves and bp are a little more expensive.

Also look in the bazaar for other none visable slots and arrange by ac, some of them can be purchased for a few hundred to a few k and are very good stats.

Flameshield stone in the riftseeker is much easier for you to get, with your current gear Dreadspire would tore you to pieces. Also once Riftseekers become a hotzone you should have decent chance of finding a group there.

see if you can get some of this guk armor while the promo is live, the gear is anguish level and there's even a haste item that can solve your haste need.

Thanks. Some decent ideas there.

Augs, yeah, I need em, already working CoA raids, although I've come away with more armor upgrades than augs. Not sure if I can swing the Riftseekers or Dreadspire route. My guilds working CoA (on nights I can't go ) right now. Never even been through MPG, much less Riftseekers, so I'm loath to try to form and lead a group there. /skeered

Tried to get in Guk but its always jammed and limited playtime precludes hanging out for hours waiting on a group slot.

Have to check what the Elaborate Defiant is going for on Povar, looks like a few pieces are nice upgrades.

Any thoughts on soloable or small group aug spots at my level (71)?

Thanks,
Lourre

Hey Lourre, I am on Povar as well, and I actually liked Riftseekers. If your on, send me a tell anytime and if I can, will run up to RS with you and help you get some of those augs from there

Polished Caracite from DSH is good too not sure if you have it or the sof expantion tho. Drops off dungore and one of either fiddle or diddle d i see you have expack since you have the static bolt off named brownie

also easy to get are:

gali verteba http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=66653
rot-covered tombstone shard http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=50107
Diamond Studded Coldain Historical Seal http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=50650

and all the augs from dod-missions on hard setting, think samanna has a list here somewhere.

c.

Don't fear RSS. With those stats, you should be able to take a group in there and rock it pretty well. It'll probably be decent AA xp at that level too. And the 25 AC augs from there are great, I've had mine for a few years and still have not replaced them yet. They are cheap to swap to new gear and fit in anything that can go in those slots.

Also, update at least your defensive skill in your magelo profile to see your AC look much closer to reality.

Don't Got - gali verteba
Got - rot-covered tombstone shard
Got - Diamond Studded Coldain Historical Seal

and got that Offense and Defense updated. shows MUCH more closely to reality, heh.
