Level 240 And 241 Gear Guide

Order Of Chaos Alliance Wiki | RecentChanges | Visiting as a guest. Login for full access.

Disclaimer: This information has not been updated in several years and does not take into account the AR changes which allows a character to go over 100 AR or all the gear that has been updated to include relic slots. It should also be noted that Heroes can no longer wear level 241 gear. Please consult with your friends/clannies before purchasing any expensive gear mentioned below.

All content is written by Kaczia, and is her opinion and recommendation... there is no one answer to equipment or gear guides, so take this with a grain of salt. Make your own modifications as you see fit, but hopefully this will provide a good starting point. Also note that maxing your HP and SP as soon as possible after archoning will help provide more flexibility in your wearable gear sets, and expand the number of activities and runs that you can join. Enjoy!

CPK / EVERYDAY / QUESTING / HUNTERS Gear Set-Up

I always follows two rules when gearing my character for CPK: 1. I can replace the item myself, and rather quickly and 2. I didn't pay more than 2-3 million gold for it. Any items that don't meet those requirements do not get worn in CPK. As a rule, I never wear a ring of spell turning, a soul of any kind (except the clan pk jhepps), any item that came from a long or difficult run, any item I paid more than 3 million gold for, or any items with relics in it for questing/everyday/CPK wear. I always have my aura, ring of agrippa, spell delivery and other nouncurse items such as my violin worn for CPK. On my psionic rogue, I wear magical bagpipes for a hand held item instead of the violin.

In general, for CPK, questing, runs, hunters and other everyday situations, I strongly advise primarily focusing on +ar and +hp. The same goes for doing the Domain of Arbaces (see: Domain of Arbaces Guide.) Savings are practically worthless against high level NPCs such as hunters (their level 500 spells will power through regardless) so focus your gear towards armor and hp so that you can survive longer. You can throw in some additions, such as +damage or +accuracy if you'd like, but in general I prefer to go for AR since the AR change bumped the maximum up to 100.

Weapons: I never wear any of my good weapons in CPK, including anything worth over a mil gold. No ironheart, no modified weapons, no no-decay swords, nothing expensive or rare. I use standard hunter weapons that I have duplicates of. Archons - Obtaining the CPK-proof Holly Wand from Lord Vendredi is a good idea, but Vortex wands are easy to come by so it's typically my weapon of choice for CPK. Practicing magical wand upon archoning gives you access to these easy to come by weapons that deal the same accuracy and damage as a spear. Note: the jade wade, sold by Lord Telleri, is NOT cpk-proof, and not a good choice for a CPK weapon!

Neverwhen: Depending on what neverwhen items I have at the time, I'll swap around certain pieces and replace them with neverwhen. If I have a particularly nice piece of neverwhen, I'll trunk it and be sure to save it from CPK. See our Neverwhen guide for details on obtaining Neverwhen gear.

Spell Turnings: if you do not PK, you do NOT NEED A RING OF SPELL TURNING! They do -nothing- to help you against NPCs, including hunters! Hunters are level 500 mobs, your +10 in saves from an ST doesn't help you combat the level 500 spells unless you're stacking 50-60+ in saves, and even then it still hardly helps against hunters. They are purely an LPK / NPK item - so don't bother unless you're doing NPK/LPK!!

Non-negotiables: No matter what gear set you put together, you must have sanctuary and haste in some item version handy. If you suddenly get dispelled, you might need to re-wear sanc or haste quickly in combat. Relying on casting these spells always might get you in trouble should you find yourself silenced, in CPK, surrounded by aggro NPCs. Levitation is also very important, as a quake can kill you instantly without it. If you choose to cast any of these spells, which I often do, keep an item handy for quick wearing if needed. Improved Invisibility can also be important in certain areas, though not required for most places. Relying on a low level item for improved invisibility, such a wizard cloak, will drop your torso AR far too low to stand level 240+ NPCs - therefore, a bracelet of elements is an absolute must in your gear set.

Playing MM in CPK

Please read our guide to Playing MM in CPK for detailed information about how to avoid an unnecessary death in CPK!

But my Ar isn't all 100s, I suck! False - you don't NEED straight 100s for everyday general game play. If you can get up into the mid 90s, that's definitely sufficient for standard PVE playing. Sure, the higher the better - but you can do well in the mid 90s.

SOME STANDARD 240/241 CPK GEAR RECOMMENDATIONS:

Your RU items:

Light:

Fingers:

Head:

Neck:

On Body:

Legs:

Feet:

Hands:

Arms:

Shield:

About Body:

Waist or Belt:

Wrists:

Hand Held:

Weapons:

EXAMPLES

With the a gear set of the items listed above, you will be completely viable against hunters, on most standard runs, in questing and other everyday activities. You do NOT need to have elite gear on unless you are participating in PK, or have some ridiculously hard hunter that is giving you a real hard time. The above set will place you into the 90s AR after you spell up. Below are some actual examples from the game with the gear listed above, in case you don't believe me that it's good enough for standard game play...

KACZIA - Dwarf Druid, Barbarian, Monk, Bard

Restrung items:

Note: I often wear a Web of Lies for Combat Blink, which gives me +4 AR without having to recast the spell myself constantly (monk only, drains sp on tick). I only wear it if I can find another safe spot to put sanctuary or haste from my symbols. Sometimes I'll wear a ring of the serpent for haste, but it has a lot of negatives on it and that means I'd wear my baldric band in CPK. Sometimes I cast haste myself, and wear the Vandyne Symbol + Web of Lies. I prefer to wear sanc as opposed to haste, because sanc is so much more important to my survival. If you're nervous about wearing a seashell helmet, you can replace it with a dragon jaw helmet easily enough. And if you wear a ring of the dead, replace the baldric band with green dragon scale sleeves. I choose to wear a bracelet of elements in CPK because I have several for back-up, and can camp hydra easily enough solo or duo with another archon to replace it. Having improved invisibility while maintaining high AR is key during questing.

My standard, everyday gear set up for Zaini - Fey Shaman, Valk, Psionic, Rogue: She is wearing a clan-pk jhepps (+3 ar), but that accounts for only +1 ar - otherwise, she would be wearing a cape of terror (+2 ar). She is evil aligned, so I wear a belt of the red hand (+2 ar) on her when she's not wearing a codpiece (+3 ar). I swap a seashell helmet or dragon jaw for the Div helm sometimes with comparable AR, but this Div helm is just a mount-speed helm, so it's kind of a throw away item.
