I think i've got the basic equip for a lvl 28 mage but im not quite certain

Golden Robes
Boot's of Time
Pirate Hat
4x CR
AoH
SGs
Wooden bracers
=59 armor
I know i could get Golves Of Vigor but there to expensive for me, is there any other equipment anyone could think of.

I wouldn't use AoH on a mage but...

I think you're missing Boots of Time... or at the least Ravenbones

He said Boots of Time.

[TimmyRamone]

Nice catch

[Squee]

AoH's are considered basic equipment now? o_o;

[Charon]

So he did... I managed to completely overlook that.
Ah well, never mind what I said then ^^;;

A Cats Eye Amulet might be better off for a Mage, if you can live with less Dexterity. Gloves of Vigor certainly help with their Wisdom boost.

try to sell that aoh to shop and get the ammy that europa said... helps alot

[Sneaky]

sell aoh in shop=750k
put aoh on site for 850k=sold very fast

dont waste an aoh by sellin back to shop

GoV's are good for the +wis, but don't forget that you're -1 dex from the BoTs...

Edit- that's assuming that you are smart and buy a Cat's eye for your mage.

I personally wouldnt use bot's due to the dex -1, seems to outweigh the 6 armor, but that's just me, lol

Cats eye ammy is the way to go though.

With AoP, 6 armour can make an exponential difference in armour, making dexterity next to useless.

[Matty]

With a decked up Mage with armor 100+, does it make a difference if you dodge? If anything actually hits you, it does minor damage and can quickly heal.

It's a lot to consider...

Every mage is going to wear Spider Gauntlets, highest armor and the +1 dex helps, also the cheap cost makes them favored over Gloves of Vigor.

So, figuring you're a 4-stat elf because thats whay my mage is, your important stats look like this now: 21 20 18 20

So, you think, Boots of time- highest armor, but the -1 dex...so you figure
21 19 18 21

Now it comes to the issue of AoH, Cat's Eye, or Hades amulet- do you evade more, do more damage, or have more armor? +1 dex will make you evade a bit more often, +1 intel will give you 2 more damage a round, and +3 armor will give you around 7 more armor than either amulet. It's a rough choice, but you're either looking at stats of 22 19 18 21, 21 20 18 21, or 21 19 18 20.

I can't say what I'll do when Deimos is arch... I might not go for Boots of Time though, rather boots of faith, and most likely a Cats eye.. so that my stats are
22 20 18 21... higher damage, less fizzles, more evade. It does, however, sacrifice 10 armor because of not using BoT's.

I guess it all depends how much money you're willing to spend on your mage- if you're gonna be someone willing to buy armor bracelets and a set of RoA's, or if you're gonna just have the basic equip for it. Theres a bunch of different ways you can look at it, i guess. I personally just don't think BoT's are that good for a mage, simply because they cancel out the dex. from sg's.

[Eternyte]

+1 intel will give you 2 more damage a round

+1 int = 2 max damage per stamina, so effectively 10 more damage per round. Which can make a HUGE difference.

[Sneaky]

Ah, stupid me, thats what i meant to write! Yea, huge difference... especially if you average 58, and your against a ranger or somethin w/ 300 hp .
