Equipment for lvl 14 RDM

[hongman]

Hi

Just been reading about people being kicked from parties for not having up to date gear...got me thinking.

I have only been in the game 2 weeks, so I am not exactly knowledgeable in whats what in the game. I know it matters less in these lower lvls but thought I would check!

I basically have a Spatha, a Shell Shield and the Nation Ring + EMpress Band. Leather Gloves, Headband or FaceGuard cant remember.

Thats it.

I havent made any real effort to get equipment, so I wanna know what I should be going for? +INT?

Try to get INT and MND gear. Particularly, as your role shifts away from melee, you might consider a club (Maple Wand, Yew Wand, etc.) appropriate to your level. Rings can boost your INT and MND significantly, particularly Saintly Rings (MND+2) and Eremite's Rings (INT+2). You may also want to consider getting some food. Baked apples and apple pies give you more MP and a boost to INT (I think), and ginger cookies help you recover MP faster when you rest.

Ok, looks like I need some new gear then. Not even touched the food element of things.

Are these rings much?

early on, I made a little list for myself of what to get when. It might be a little outdated, but should still work.

Weapons, shields and other stuff, get what you can afford for your level. Meleeing is not your primary focus.

[hongman]

Thanks, list is printed off I shall be using that tonight hopefully!

[hongman]

I might still upgarde my sword, considering I am going to solo for the next few lvls at least as partying for me is sloooow...

[neighbortaru]

btw, don't follow the list blindly. some pieces do not need to be replaced right after and some are obviously melee geared. Use your judgement, keeping in mind you want to boost your MND, INT and MP first.

also, the garrison gear is wickedly expensive

[hongman]

Ya, just posted in my other thread about the concerns of price....

Thing is, I have a few friends that I always seem to end up running round with, and I dont want be left behind...I am having trouble keeping up already.

But saying that, I suppose the fact is they have been playing longer than I have and thats that
