  • Solo Equipment Suggestions

    Hi all; I'm looking for possible changes to make to my solo equipment setup, and while I think I've considered most of the possibilities, I would be interested to know what opinions other people might have. I likely never would have considered the dance shoes, for example, without having seen posts on this forum about them.

    My current solo equipment setup looks like this:
    Main: Joyeuse, Misericorde, Daylight Dagger
    Sub: Genbu's Shield
    Ranged/Ammo: Lightning Bow+Scorpion Arrows
    Head: Emperor Hairpin
    Neck: Spirit Torque
    Earrings: Dodge Earring x2
    Body: Narasimha's Vest
    Hands: Warlock's Gloves
    Rings: Emerald Ring, Fencer's Ring
    Back: Amemet Mantle
    Waist: Royal Knight's Belt+1
    Legs: Warlock's Tights
    Feet: Dance Shoes

    This is without considering equipment switching, of course. I switch in Warlock's Chapeau and Enhancing Torque for buff spells, along with Diamond and Sapphire rings when appropriate.

    The main areas for improvement that I see are in the hand and leg slots, but the replacement items (Dusk Gloves and Dusk Trousers) are extremely expensive on my server. My linkshell will hopefully be doing a Divine Might run soon, at which point I will change my earrings to Suppanomimi and Dodge Earring. Also, perhaps a Warwolf Belt would be good, though I would lose 2 AGI.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions for those slots, or for other slots I might not have considered? Thanks in advance for any advice!

    It depends on what mobs you're fighting with but I usually use Sword Belt +1 for waist when I farm TW - EP mobs. It's not expensive at all and it usually gives me better melee performance over R.K.Belt. I use Life Belt when I face with DC or stronger mobs.

    As for Earrings, you have a nice upgrade over Dodge, which is Elusive Earrings (evasion +5). It is about 15 times more expensive than Dodge but we can easily (well, depending on your luck though) get one from BCNM60, Celery.

    For legs, I planned to buy Dusk Trousers for RDM/RNG but I don't because it's no use in Ballista because of -12.5% slowdown on walking and running. I usually have Feral Trousers for attack +5 or Warlock's Tights.
