Thanks for making that list and sharing it

Just an FYI getting a Summoner's Kilt was annoyingly difficult.

 

[Silent Singer]

Hooks Shield gives 10 sdi and can be worn by gargs. You are using a diff shield but just talking sdi gear that should be in list too.

Thanks for the info. I had actually updated the total SDI number with the intention of adding Hook's Shield but forgot to add it to the list

In the lastest update I added items and merged two separate threads I had for gargoyles and one for human/elf. I decided it was easier to maintain one thread instead of two.

how about this one ?

It was in the original post. I guess somehow when I copied and pasted I missed it. Thanks

Sadly as in many other cases gargoyles are short changed the resistance on some of the sdi pieces means you're out of luck

Items like Cuffs of the Archmage are "regular when you make them" and they cost 1 ton to buy as regular, are high value. Then you can make them garg, and they lose value permanently, since then only gargs can use them. It seems no-brainer to allow change back to "regular" if needed. Yet all items that are gargified cannot be put back to their original forms. This is goofy design, especially for these items. These items should be able to go back and forth. I wonder how the Dev team feels about this? How other people feel about it?

I think any item that can be converted to Gargoyle should be able to convert back.

If you want to nit-pick.. Robe of the Dark Monk gives 6% SDI, one 1% higher than the tabard. Although tabard arguably gives better other stats.

I have honestly never even heard of that robe. Where does it come from? I couldn't find anything on Google about it.

 

[Haraldur Tyrsson]

Robe of the Dark Monk was from the Wildfire event. I think like 30 pt turn in. Had some karma loss and eater on it.

Current Gargoyle SDI gear list for a maximum of 163% SDI on your suit. Current max SDI for Human/Elves 186% on your suit. Using everything on the list will leave you a little short on physical resist when running protection and reactive armor. Using a 4 fcr 18 sdi bracelet can get you to 5 fcr while using a non slayer invasion spellbook. I find this to be perfectly fine for pvm purposes. You can reach 6 fcr with the new Artio's Vine Wrap if you can get +25 int on your suit without Lt Sash.

Infused virtue tabard 5% (Hawkwind Robe)

May I know how to get to the gargoyle version of the Hawkwind Robe?

Thanks.

You have to transmog one of the tabards with it. The Gargoyle can wear the tabard.

 

[Nero]

shugenja's raiment (human/elf version and gargoyle version available) gives +8 SDI and has overall better mods than the mantle of the fallen or protector of the battle mage.

Learned something, but ever more confusing though. I tried to search then player vendors. It seems to me that Tabard of Valor without stats is an item before infusing. The same name "Tabard of Valor" if showing stats then it's an infused Hawkwind Robe. Is that correct?

Moreover, I can't simply buy a Tabard of Valor from vendors as it requires me to complete some kind of difficult Quest for an NPC to infuse it for me afterward. Is that correct?

Thanks so much for the help, Cork.

Yes there are the various tabards from that quest which you can still get. But there is also a tabard from the archlich event as well. And I've seen other tabards from previous events. I solo'd the tabard quest with my tamer. While it's not super easy it's not impossible either.

It's been added with the serpent's bite talisman.

I have a Tamer with a Chiv CU, will give it a try to see how hard it is.

I also have a Mystic Mage with 148 SDI, I don't know if RC + Death Ray can finish off the shrine battles.

The benefit of Atlantic. lol. My mains are in Catskills with some in LS, where the Shard Bound high end gears are rare.

I have not added it up with all the new sdi gear. But yes Gargoyles are lower than human/elf. They get screwed on gear.

 

[Brandon]

Ok, I know you cannot use Yukio's ear rings on Gargoyles, so thats 15 im missing :-(, i really like that 194 on Human tho No Town Buffs, that is very NICE!!

Forgot to mention they are only 5% sdi not 8%

See they obviously died and got frustrated by the discrimination against gargoyles
