What faction specific items are good in Velious?

I made a post ages ago about which armour is best.
Now I get that Tanks (my War) is Kael, and most others are SS (shammy and bard) is Skyshrine and all better than Thurg.

Which is annoying as my warr tanked giant faction and bard has some.

But what other non armour items are worth having from each faction tho?

Ignoring:
For tradeable or no drops, if it can be bought for 10k or less or a better item can be then forget it.
Say there's a quest for a decent ring in kael but Dain ring is better, then ignore the former.

For all chars:
1. https://wiki.project1999.com/Wenglawks_Manly_Purse
I was working bard towards, but if it doesn't do coins isn't a tink bag better?

For Warr:
1. https://wiki.project1999.com/Silver_Steel_Gauntlets
Are they that much better than
https://wiki.project1999.com/Champion's_Gauntlets
or other EC gettable gloves?

2. https://wiki.project1999.com/Bow_of_the_Huntsman
Is this bow worth it when it can drop?

For Warr and Shammy:

1. Is the spear and earring worth having or are better items available for 10k or less?

A lot of other shit seems to be tradeable and cheap-ish or has alternatives.
Other than the obvious Coldain rewards, is there any niche COV or Kael stuff I'm missing out on?

I've gotten Wenglaks Manly Purse on multiple characters. Is it better than a tink bag? No. The nice thing about Wenglaks Manly Purse is it's fairly easy to get, and it doesn't cost 5000pp. Honestly I don't bother with Tink bags. You can get by with EE Bag + Large Burlap Sack + Wenglaks Manly Purse + Box of Nil Space and a few Shralok Packs on most chars. That is my usual setup, often times with a Forager Bag and a Large Soiled bag as well, for the items that fit in those container sizes. Maybe cloth casters with no STR gear will want a Tink bag or two, but I don't have any tink bags on my 77 STR Enchanter.

For Torpor Shamans, having Kael faction is nice if you are farming plat. The coldain skin gloves/boots quest is really good. Takes about 15 minutes to kill both of the dwarves that drop the heads, and you end up with two items that sell for 1k each fairly quickly in EC. Most alts that have mana want coldain skin boots and gloves. I want to say the heads have an 80-90% chance to drop, and the scribe often drops a necklace you can vendor for 240pp or so.

The dragon head quests are nice too. All of the rewards sell for at least 1k, and also tend to sell quickly. Plus killing WW dragons gives you a chance to get dragon armor drops, which also sell nicely.

I know you dismissed the sub 10k tradeable items, but my experience is consistent smaller payouts can beat occasional large payouts. It all averages out in the end. If you can get 10k worth if items in 10 hours, that is no different than camping a 10k item for 10 hours.

Also take a look at:

The rewards are pretty good.

1. https://wiki.project1999.com/Collar_of_the_Storm - pretty good tank necklace stat wise with cold and magic resistance.

2. https://wiki.project1999.com/Helssen...smatic_Trinket - good CHA earring for enchanters, with magic resist too.

3. https://wiki.project1999.com/Girdle_of_Reflection - I used this on my Shaman for a while. Good stat piece if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a belt. I'd say it's better than spider fur belt if you don't need the DEX for weapon procs, plus the graphic is unique when people inspect you.

For your question about Garzicor Earring, that is one of the better earrings you can get on a Shaman stat-wise. You won't find an earring for 10k or less with better raw stats, except maybe Hammered Golden Loops. The main issue with Garzicor Earring is it doesn't have valuable resists, so you are going to be swapping it out for resist gear anyway. I tend to avoid expensive items in slots that get swapped for resist gear on my Shaman. Namely earrings, rings, and shield slot. Shaman's don't have a lot of options when it comes to interrupting casters, so their best defense against spells is high resists.

Ss is best in general except for a couple items
Warrior skyshrine gear is much better than kael on p99
Ac on p99 isnt as effective as live,quarm. So we focus first on hit points for tanks,ac being secondary.
