saves items

[Ophiel X]

Viri made a post a long time ago, right after he bumped up the saves on things across the board, that listed some common newbie items with okay saves.

anyone still have that post?

Heh. Hardly newb. He gave a chart with the best mal saves in the game and where they're worn and what area they're in.

Its out of date, but I'll see if I can find it.

Heh. Hardly newb. He gave a chart with the best mal saves in the game and where they're worn and what area they're in.

Its out of date, but I'll see if I can find it.

It wasn't a list of the best mal saves items. It was a list of the 'limited' (I'll assume that means rare/unique) mal saves items in 'common' areas (ie. NOT gear/deso/discord etc. etc.), so it includes eq of both the 'phat lewt' and 'junk' variety. A lot of those are pretty easy to get. Some are much tougher.

There are more mal saves EQ out there than just on the list; like Warp says, the list is out of date.

In order to flatten the learning curve for some of us

who are still struggling to find good svs. maled eq

I looked through ALL the limited items that are in

the common areas (not winter, desolation/dischord, clockworkd)

and composed this vague guide.

As you will see at the bottom the total possible using

only these common pieces is -71! svs maled. Of course

this is impossible to achive as some of these are

anti align, but just using the common rares in common

areas you should have no problem setting yourself up

at some -30 svs maled NOT INCLUDING skills such as

bless, warcry etc.
