<p>For armor take <strong>Bear Skin</strong> and put energy imbu in it. It's not that much more expensive than Dream Shroud and you will get much better stats.<br><br><strong>Mage stats.<br><br>EDIT: I didn't realize Bear Skin is for ED only, then <strong>Dream Shroud, Dwarven Armor, Swan Feather Cloak</strong> are good options for MS.</p><p><br><strong>Mage hat, dwarven helmet, yalahari mask</strong> - choose one.<br><br><strong>Dwarven legs</strong><br><br>Boots: <strong>void boots, terra boots.</strong><br><br><strong>Shoulder plate, brain in the jar, mastermind shield</strong> (from best to worst) - put energy imbu.<br><br><strong>Prismatic amulet and ring</strong>, switch to energy ring if needed.</p><p><strong>Wand / Rod of destruction</strong><br><br>This would be my cheap set, the upgrades are really expensive (prices are from my server, it may vary a bit).<br><br>- <strong>gnome helmet</strong> (50kk)<br><br>- <strong>gnome legs</strong> (75kk)<br><br>- <strong>dreamwalkers </strong>(15kk)<br><br>- <strong>falcon wand / rod </strong>(80kk)<br><br>- <strong>umbral master spellbook</strong> (20kk) - this is worth at higher level as it gives less protection but more magic level than shoulder plate<br><br>- <strong>amulet of theurgy</strong> (8kk) - same deal as spellbook - only worth at higher levels as it gives less protection than prismatic but more magic level</p>
