Reasonable warrior gear upgrades in Velious?

[webrunner5]

I have seen a few cheap, good items already in the Tunnel surprisingly. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Barbed Ringmail and Blood Runed stuff out of Velketor's Labyrinth looks alright for a replacement for Crafted, if a person doesn't have Indicolite, Incarnadine, or Cobalt. No idea how much that stuff goes for. Probably a ton right now.

Makes me wish an enterprising individual (like the dude who wrote Sakuragi's guide) would come up with a comprehensive warrior guide that included Velious. I'd do it, but I'm not that great at theorycraft/mathhammer, and I'm still only 49 after 5 years of playing.

I know it is not that great, but Ry'Gorr armor was always a big deal back in the day. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Cougar Claw Earring looks better to me than Orc Fang Earring.

Orc Fang Earring
MAGIC ITEM
Slot: EAR
AC: 3
STR: +3 HP: +15
WT: 0.3 Size: MEDIUM
Class: ALL
Race: ALL

Cougar Claw Earring
MAGIC ITEM
Slot: EAR
AC: 4
STR: +3 DEX: +2
WT: 0.5 Size: TINY
Class: ALL
Race: ALL

[15hp] vs [1ac + 0.03proc/min (assuming dw proc'ing weaps) + some tiny increase to crit chance]

Calling one over the other looks like trying to pick flyshit out of pepper to me. If you're into sub-micro-management you could carry sets of both and use orc fang with cleric healer and cougar claw with shaman/druid.

I hope something in Velious is a reasonably obtainable upgrade over golden black pearl choker.

Just give it a few months, then pay for some assistance to park yourself over in WW and ask to loot rotting talismans.
