Gearing a Caster Arty at lrvel 32

[Jaspar]

3rd life toon with 72 Int, 47 Con and 21 RP.
Im currently wearing Beacon set and Adherents set with Collective Sight for Con and Ins Con, Crown of Fireflies, Epic Voice, Celestial Sapphire Ring with Dex 13.
I get Int and Q Int from Phasecloak, Ins Int from Ring of Nightfall.
Morninglord Scept and Blight Inferno.
Electric 790 / 38% / 45%
Fire 718 / 38% / 20%

I have been trying to get the Arcsteel set from Sharn for weeks but still need the Brim. I have assorted Feywild so can probably mix and match, but have no idea how to improve things. I have no IoD gear at all.

I assume I keep trying to farm Arcsteel Brim?

What other easy and obvious options are there?

Thanks !

I have no IoD gear at all.

As in don't own IoD or just don't have any gear laying around? Cause using either a dino artifact or LGS, you can get electric crit damage/electric crit damage/electric crit damage on it and bump up damage.

I own it and have done it on Heroic, but not on Legendary. Are the Dino artifacts from dungeons or raids? And do you need to farm a heap to be able to build the buffs on to them?

Do they share the same artifact restrictions with Feywild artifacts?

 

[rabidfox]

Any legendary dread chest (in quests, wilderness, or raids) can have a dino artifact. You can only wear 1 artifact at time, regardless of source.

As for mats required. 20% electric crit damage would be cheap to craft. The 10% and 5% cost a bit more in crafting mats. https://ddowiki.com/page/Dinosaur_Bone_crafting Some of the other pieces of gear out there have crafting slots on them (artifacts just have 3 slots making them pretty nice).

Awesome, thanks. I assume I do keep farming for the Arcsteel Brim item from Sharn and switch to that set away from Beacon? And then see what gear swaps next make sense.

Is it worth having a few Feywild items for that set bonus? Or is the Adherents set about the same?

Cheers.

Oops. This discussion is about artificers. They cut pieces off themselves and have robo-dogs. Weird. Always wondered what they do with the pieces.

look at getting a gomf

and look at ancestors set instead

here;s a gear set i worked out for a caster artificer (warforged but you can adapt). over 1300 elec sp standing in town...4 spare gear slots for expansion and sun/moon augments...you can probably do better than legendary queen's scepter, i was looking for spellpower so the insightful spellpower was the reason i kept it.
