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 scouts!

*=T9&10 changes the rare jewelry to mostly use the rare ore. The exception to this is some T9 jewelry from Quel'ule faction recipes.

Crafters Needed

Seek out an armorer for your armor. Tailors will make your cloak and hex dolls; jewelers will make your spells, and jewelry; woodworkers make your bow, round shields and ammo; weaponsmiths make metal weapons. When you have a crafted weapon created, you will likely want the "imbued" (not blessed), version.

Other Notes

Tiers: I know folks can be confused by the tier-thing, so here's the breakdown:

  • Tier 1: levels 1-9, mastercrafted gear will be level 2 to equip
  • Tier 2: levels 10-19, mastercrafted gear will be level 12 to equip
  • Tier 3: levels 20-29, mastercrafted gear will be level 22 to equip
  • Tier 4: levels 30-39, mastercrafted gear will be level 32 to equip
  • Tier 5: levels 40-49, mastercrafted gear will be level 42 to equip
  • Tier 6: levels 50-59, mastercrafted gear will be level 52 to equip
  • Tier 7: levels 60-69, mastercrafted gear will be level 62 to equip
  • Tier 8: levels 70-79, mastercrafted gear will be level 72 to equip
  • Tier 9: levels 80-89, mastercrafted gear will be level 82 to equip
  • Tier 10: levels 90-92, mastercrafted gear will be level 91 or 92 to equip (varies by slot)
The only exception to the above are mastercrafted hex dolls, which are at the start of the tier (10, 20, etc.)

Armor: There are multiple flavors of chain armor to choose from: Chainmail (STR/STA/AGI), Brigandine (STA/WIS/INT), Reverent (STR/WIS/INT), and Melodic (STR/AGI/INT).

Shields: While many scouts dual wield weapons, there may be situations where they use a shield in their secondary. When they do, they are allowed to use a round shield, which will use the same rare as a bow from the same tier.

Jewelry: While scouts 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 a dirge who gets part of their power pool from INT. In addition to rings, earrings, bracelets and the like, there are also various other jeweler-made items from the rare root (scarves) and rare hide (belt, tomes), but since there is a jewelry revamp in-progress, giving class-specific recommendations on these will have to wait.

Dolls: 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 scout experts 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 jeweler before obtaining the rare for these experts, in case there have been any recent changes to them.
