 Rares by Adventuring Class: Fighters
Can't tell your figwart from your mantrap? Uncertain what rares you should be scrounging for mastercrafted gear as you level up? Here's a down-and-dirty guide, just for figthers! Fighters share the same rares, other than armor, but there are enough other special considerations, that you will want to read the Other Notes section at the bottom of the page for all sorts of important information.
Crafters NeededSeek out an armorer for plate armor or large shields (tower, kite). Tailors will make leather armor, cloaks and hex dolls; alchemists will make your adepts; jewelers will make your jewelry; woodworkers make your bow, ammo, and wooden weapons; weaponsmiths make metal weapons, thrown weapons and fistwraps. When you have a crafted weapon created, you will likely want the "imbued" (not blessed), version.Other NotesTiers: I know folks can be confused by the tier-thing, so here's the breakdown:
Armor: There are multiple flavors of plate armor to choose from: Vanguard (STR/STA/AGI), Plate (STA/WIS/INT), Devout (STR/STA/INT). Brawlers (monk/bruiser) will likely choose between the Dexterous (STR/AGI) set and the base (STR/STA/AGI) leather set. (In tier 8, there is also the option for the brawler to have a gi, with the same stats as the tunic for each set.) Shields: Not all fighters can/will use shields in secondary, and even when they do, they may want different types of shields for certain situations (berserkers and their buckler spec come to mind). Tower and kite shields are crafted by armorers using ore, and round and buckler shields are made by woodworkers. Weapons: The plate-class fighters are prone to wanting metal slashing or piercing weapons, which will use the ore from this column. Brawlers, on the other hand, often use wooden weapons from a woodworker and/or fistwraps made of hides from a weaponsmith. Jewelry: While most fighters typically use STR/STA/AGI on their jewelry, there are some times when they'll want a piece of INT/WIS/STA jewelry as well, especially if they're crusader who gets part of their power pool from INT or WIS. In addition, there are various other jeweler-made items from the rare root (scarves), rare hide (belt, tomes) and so on, but since there is a jewelry revamp in-progress, giving class-specific recommendations on these will have to wait. Dolls & Cloaks: Hex dolls begin in tier 2, cloaks become available in tier 3. Neither are yet available in T10, since we only have a partial tier, and the recipes are later in the tier. Experts: the following level 70 fighter adepts were part of the EoF expansion (when the level cap was 70), and use the tier 7 rare, spongy loam, instead of the tier 8 loam. Make sure to check with your alchemist before obtaining the rare for these experts, in case there have been any recent changes to them.
