7. Consumables and enchants
7. Consumables and enchants:
For flasks, your options are:
- Flask of pure mojo (gives you mana/5)
- Flask of the frost wyrm (gives you spell power)
I use the Flask of the frost wyrm, since I haven’t really needed the extra mana/5 for a long time.
Potions:
- Runic mana potion – You can only use one per fight, but more mana is always better.
- Super Mana potion – For easy content where you need a little boost, but don’t want to spend all the gold. Don’t use these when learning newer content, or in fights where you’ll really need the extra mana that runic potions give you.
Gems:
With the new haste changes in patch 3.3, you will probably want to gem for haste in some slots, especially yellow slots. HOWEVER don’t just put yellow haste gems in every socket. You should at least go for orange (Sp/Haste) gems & such. I’m only listing the epic gem versions. You can also find the “blue” versions for less gold if it better fits your playstyle & budget.
- For red sockets: Spell Power (SP) Runed cardinal ruby.
- For jewelcrafters, you get to put in 3 Runed Dragon’s Eye into red sockets.
- For yellow sockets: If you are below haste cap, you should put in a haste gems: Quick King’s Amber. Or, the haste/SP one: Reckless Ametrine. If you don’t need haste, use SP & Int: luminous Ametrine.
- For blue sockets: SP & Spirit Purified Dreadstone,
- Meta-gem (for head pieces): Insightful Earthsiege Diamond for 21 int and a 5% chance to restore 600 mana on spellcast. Ember Skyflare Diamond for 25 spellpower and 2% int.
Enchants: (not changed from 3.3 – let me know if I should adjust something)
- Legs: Brilliant Spellthread is the best, but youc an subsitute this with any other spellthread with spellpower for gear that you won’t keep as long.
- Shoulders: Greater inscription of the crag or lesser inscription of the crag (if you aren’t exalted with Hodir). NOTE: you should be able to mail these from characters with high rep to characters without rep as Heirloom items.
- Head: Arcanum of Blissful mending or Arcanum of burning mysteries if you want crit more than the mana/5 (but Blissful mending is better for healing if you have that rep high enough). The head enchants should also be heirloom items that you can mail across your characters.
- Cloak: Subtlety for reduced threat, Wisdom for spirit, or greater speed for haste.
- Gloves: Exceptional Spellpower
- Chest: Powerful stats gives you +10 to all stats, or greater mana restoration for +8 mana/5.
- Bracers/wrists: Superior Spellpower (30 spellpower) or Greater spellpower (only 23 spellpower)
- Boots: Greater Vitality for 6 mana/5. or greater spirit for 18 spirit.
- Weapon: For 1-hand weapons: Enchant weapon: Mighty Spellpower for 63 spellpower or Enchant Weapon: Exceptional spellpower for 50 spellpower. For staves: Enchant Staff: Greater Spellpower for 81 spellpower, or Enchant staff: Spellpower for 69 spell power.
