[Selling] ivan's gear thread

[MeTheGreat]

Hi.

I have a confession to make.

I've always enjoyed suit-building, so much so that I sometimes move onto the next setup before I ever play in the last one.
I am usually putting together a new setup (or three).

Step one is admitting you have a problem, so...

I've created this thread so I can post in a single place for gear that gets me closer to finished on that next suit.

• I plan to also post a little bit about the end goal for that purchase, along with how far I am from completion to help myself stay organized (and as a reminder in case I take a break for a few months).
• In general, I build pvm suits with non-antique jewels and almost never try to include enhance potions. (If it is there, it is because the jewel happened to have it.)
• Pvp suits are usually exercises in theory because I do not pvp in UO, preferring FPS to scratch that competitive itch. (But it is on my list of things to learn eventually.)

Since I don't always play the particular gear setup anyway before it gets broken down, I am happy to take offers on the finished
or half-finished setups if anyone would rather buy something instead of starting their own from scratch.

yours terribly,
ivan

p.s. Please send pm's regarding items that you have or want; keep posts more about questions, suggestions or critiques of a particular template/gear setup to further understanding (mine and/or the community's). Thanks!

Reserved for Suit A

A.1 | Mystic-Archer | pvm

Pieces Away From Completion: 1 (or 2*)

Buying:

Bone/studded Chest

4 dex
10 stam
8 lmc
20 lrc
MR 1+


Skills | Modified (Skill Gain from Item Property):
Archery | 120 (30)
Tactics | 110
Anatomy | 110 (10)
Healing | 90
Mysticism | 120 (15)
Focus | 120 (15)
Chivalry | 120

Gear Goals:
An event character that competes for top damage. Ideal would be RC, playing the odds, and chain AI.

211+ Stam
50+ LMC
100 LRC
75/75/75/75/75


Current Questions/Unknowns:
Does the suit generate enough mana to proc AI frequently enough to compete for top damage?
What is the loss for Archery Mastery by only having 90 real skill (30 from items)?
Should Tactics/Anatomy be 120 with Chiv lowered to 100?


Possible Upgrades:
Should healing be dropped for necro/ss wraith form to increase mana leech? (This would sacrifice the immunities of Stone form.)

Sacrifice 10 Anatomy for 5 ssi on Cameos ? (To reduce ssi on composite bows, thereby increasing hml.)

*An artifact bracelet (must have 4 si, 3 fcr, 10 ssi, 25 di)

Should this suit be refined to 75/75/65/65/70-75?
