What cleric gear would you buy if you had 5k?

[Raavak]

I would get the crafted +wis jewelry (veil, rings) and a good primary slot weapon if you are going to solo, then just fill in the rest as you get money. Doing the cleric quest bracer is pretty easy and only costs like 100pp or so for the component gem and you get alot of +wis for them too for how easy it is.

To be honest, gear is nice but isn't that big a deal on a cleric. Even naked you can do cleric stuff. Try that with a pure melee.

Can't go wrong with 5/55 rings for pretty much any class for lower levels.

Jboots, the cleric only belt from fear (1k tops), golem tear ring, or enshrouded veil. None of these items (well belt can be) ever get better for their given slot.

Should I go for the charred shield or something else?

I traded my hero bacer for a abolone gorget thing and I'm thinking I should probably swap out my crested helm and mith breastplate for wis gear

CGS is a good shield, if you wanna go through a silly monotonous quest, the Testament of Vanaer is a 10 wis offhand item (no AC tho).

Gold Jasper Earrings (3 wis) are super cheap and blowing money on Forrest Loops (2 ac 3 wis 3 agi 3 dex) is pretty marginal returns for a 10x the plat investment. Obviously you'll end up someday with the Black Sapph Earrings (25hp 35 mana), but that's prohibitively expensive and something you tinker with at the end of the treadmill, not at the beginning.

Feet are Golden Efreeti Boots, nothing else compares, which is part of the reason they retail in the 5k range (sadly). Starter boots like wolf fur slippers and Kobold Hide Boots offer a few mana (slips) or hit points (boots), but neither is much of a boost, and they are a royal pain to track down in EC tunnel most of the time.

Arms. umm. Platinum Armbands (3 str / 3 wis) are pretty decent, altho the hollowed bone bracers (4 ac 15 mana 7 sv magic iirc) are a decent alternative. Azure Sleeves (12 ac no other stats) are another option as well.. There's not much for clerics in the arm slot that offer meaningful stats beyond ac (which is why you'll see most higher end clerics sporting Emist arms for the STR and sv magic, or Donals for the clicky valor buff).

Head is a nightshade wreath (5 wis), or Runed Circlet for a couple extra AC at the expense of 1 wis.. clerics can also wear the Skull Shaped Barbute (13ac 35 hps 10 sv magic) which is a ton of extra ac and hps and sv magic at the expense of the wis. It's all personal preference really. Normally going WIS is almost always what you go for as default, but the SSB is pretty amazing all around too, and something you'll likely need as resist gear someday anyways.

I probably wouldnt get rid of the mith breastplate. Those AC, HP and AGI are pretty nice boosts, altho the Bloostained Tunic does have comparable AC and 4 wis on it.. matter of personal preference. The mith bp looks a ton better, and vanity is always an important part of EQ.

If you end up having more cash to spend, getting the cultural dorf armor might be a way to get some solid ac boost along with a couple points of wis in the arms and feet and chest slots. Legs too, camping that ancient gator in guk or paying 1k+ for gatorscale legs is a royal b!tch..
