epic armour

[Nazgul]

Is it worth getting lvl 50 epic armour because I really cannot be bothered trying to do all the quests I have missed. Appart from the looks is the armour worth having?

Also how much does it matter whether your items have been spell crafted with stuff because if I buy some armour I am not sure I can afford to get stats put on it.

Getting your armour spellcrafted should be alot cheaper than the armour itself.

Epic armours look good, but lv51 spellcrafted items can be better. Depends what you want.

Generally, most classes have one or two pieces of epic armour that provide better stats than an overcharged 99% equivalent. The Healer legs, for instance, are worth keeping in a SC suit as, arguably, is the hauberk. Take a look at the epic armour for your class, see if there's anything worth keeping.

If you're loaded with cash then you might want to go full SC. If you're a bit less well off then do the epic and build a suit around the pieces worth keeping.

I prefer SC myself sure utility might be lower just but with sc and good items stats can be capped out or close to it, with epic its pretty hard to (in my experience) and lets face it higher stats means more likely you will survive in rvr (if thats your cup of tea).

UV isnt that important to me if you can whack a self albative on the final item, tho do know lots of clerics who keep their legs.

I only did my epics for the exp ...

but hey! If U get pwrlvld anyway ... then there is no point in doing epics

If you want to go to RvR then you really must have one of the 2, either the epic armour or a fully spellcrafted set.

A Spellcrafted set, if well thought through, will be better, but much more expensive.

The Epic is still an excellent fall back position as it does not nearly cost as much money. Given the fact you will also want some player-crafted weapons, you probably want to start with getting your epic armour and buying some good weapons, then start saving up to buy a player-made armour.

I was thinking. (Yes i do that sometimes, happens one time every millenium) Say if you only rvr, and never farm. Is there anyway to get a new epic, when your is so busted up it falls off your body every time you sneeze.

epics give about 1-1.5P salvaged... metal ones anyway.
