SK BiS Droppable/Tradable...
 

I am about to ding lvl 60 and have saved up a modest stash of plat, and wanted to see if I could put together a list of items I could start saving for, and/or perhaps might already have enough to get.

I know this is subjective, but any advice would be appreciated.

Beads / bio orb / (maybe CoS) and you're set for raid pull duty

Massive Dragonclaw Shard, Narandi's Crown.

Honestly, just go to SK equipment by slot on the wiki and sort by HP or AC and pick which has the highest of both.

Narandi's have dropped to stupid levels. Only like 14k and Reavers are like 11k. Even with the piercing cap being lower the dot itself probably bridges the gap in attk power.
MDS are great as a tanking weapon but prob only a bit more dps than a ebon mace or velks doggos sword (which has AC and is free).

The obvious ones probably cloak of crystalline waters or spiked seahorse belt, CoS, and fungi.

Get epic.

Narandi lance
Narandi crown
Massive dragonclaw shard
Fungi
Cloak of Flames vs spiked seahorse belt
CoS
?Holgresh beads?

Really nothing else matters in a meaningful way.

If you consider purchasable MQs:

Epic
HoT armor

Just need a Soul Leech for epic. Will start attending HoT at 60.

Eyepatch of plunder
