Evisceration Set


Extenerator Set


Dancing Edge Set


TP set


Trick Attack Set


Sneak Attack Set


The Augments on my gear are as follows:
Mirke Wardecors: "+10accuracy +10attack,"
Desultor Tassets "+7accuracy +7attack,"
Anwig Salade "+4STR +10accuracy +5attack +15weapon skill acc.".

So, I have a few questions.
1.] How does Elemental Gorgets and Belts compare with other pieces of gear and how can I improve in these slots for Weaponskills.

2.] Whats the best thing I can replace Spike Earrings with?

3.] How does Loki's Kafton compare to my Mirke Wardecors? Again the Augments on the Wardecors is +10Accuracy +10Attack.

4..] one more question, is Rogue Armlets+1 still worth using, or is it better to have gloves with a lot of AGI on them?

any other feedback vastly appreciated.

Loki's gives 5% critical damage. It should be used on sneak attack, and all critical ws.

Switch your Spike Earrings to Brutal+Moonshade/Aesir/Merman's/DEX Earring

Use Loki's in your Exenterator set and drop your DE set. There's really no reason to have it around, honestly. A quick fix would be to try and get an augmented Jupiter's for your Evisceration set. Along with switching your Desultors into something a tad more useful and getting Ambusher's Hose.

Oh, Rancor Collars should be fairly cheap now so grab one for your Evisceration/TP set. Erm, switch your Elemental Belt for a Cuchulain's Belt (extremely cheap) for Evisceration.

I agree completely on at least one STR dagger for offhand on MS as it works wonders.

Anyway, so this doesn't get randomly derailed for whatever reason.

STR+11 ATK+22 Thokchas are basically going to last you forever and ever. As an alternative (though, they aren't that big of a deal anymore) you could always make an AGI/EVA Thokcha for those times where you want a free Evasion boost, plus a somewhat nice dagger.

I'm not sure how Flame Geodes cost on your server (prices fluctuate all of the time and with the need for Flame Gems, etc), you're looking at spending 2.75m (@50k each) if you happen to buy them all. The good thing is, you might get lucky and get a handful while doing the trials.

This is just me, but I got rid of my evasion set a longggg time ago.

It was sure useful back in the day where we'd often run across T-ITs that we might wanna solo, or low manning NMs with minimal support, but those days are long gone. Of course, abyssea doesn't count because lol.

Nowadays, anything that wants to hit you, and relevant, will hit you. I use a -pdt set instead and have a -mdt set handy. Nice mdt set btw. If inventory wasn't an issue for me, I would go after something that looks like that.

Loki or Toci for Sneak Attack? I think Noodles said Toci's according to Motenten's spreadsheet but I dunno. Does Toci's really have much use for THF? I'm trying to find a use for it. Been using it for Aeolian Edge and for Sneak Attacks, other than that it seems useless kinda. My gear TP gear:

Aluh/STR/Octant/Bolts
AF3 head/Nefarious/Brutal/Suppa
AF3body/AF3 hands/Demonry/Epona's
Rancorous/Twilight/AF3legs/AF2+2feet
