GUIDE: Complete Gearing Guide to PEQ (1-70; OoW Expansion)

Updated. Thank you!

 

I added in the additional desirable loot that drop in Catacombs C under the #6 Haste Items (Farmable) section. There are so many desirable things you can farm simultaneously while doing that quest that I thought it was worth a mention.

This is incorrect. No mobs drop that item according to the PEQ database and MQEmulator.net.

That item is supposed to drop from the L58-62 instance (click on the Version C tab) instead of the L68+ instance. I don't believe the lower level instances are implemented on PEQ.

I'm not quite sure of the exact stats on Whimsy of the Masters. Most item websites don't list it properly and /link shows it statless.

 

I've been out of things for a while, but Whimsy of the Masters gives +3% Spell Shield when fully powered up (based on time spent in zone, so fairly easy to do if it's needed) -- not "Shielding? DoT Shielding" as you have indicated. It's just Spell Shield. Otherwise, your stats look accurate on the Whimsy (I run it myself on quite a few toons). One other thing that I notice is there's no calculating for any of the obtainable Augments for this gear range (there's quite a few you can add in). I agree with not including LDoN armor as it's more an intermittent step anyway and is more case-by-case. You may want to calculate in some of those LDoN augments though.

Also, very cool post here ^^^

I had planned to do something like this for each class, but I just haven't had the time to devote to it lately. I've also got 1 last guide which has been "in the works" for far too long. I really hope to be able to get that out sometime this year at least.

If someone wants to make up a list like this based on the Loot Guide for each class, I'll see what I can do about just popping it all in its own section at the bottom so people needn't read the comments to scrounge it up.

Just PM me if anyone feels like doing this
