Boss Gear Progression

Obtain and enhance Boss Gear in order of importance, depending upon the increase in power.

However, Boss Gear is not always easy to purchase. If you do get lucky, it’s ok to go out of order, but you might want to wait on enhancing the helmet, since it’s not that big of a difference and would be costly to upgrade.

Accessories are the most expensive to enhance. You may even consider enhancement of blue grade accessories first, since upgrading 1 yellow grade accessory will cost billions of silver. Blue grade are much cheaper, but aren’t BIS. They make good backups though when yellow grade accessories fail enhancement.

Boss Gear by Order of Importance:

1. Kzarka Mainhand Weapon (normally the easiest boss item to obtain) or Offin Tett’s (slightly more AP, but less Attack Speed and Accuracy) or Blackstar Weapon (a quested red grade weapon with massive PVE Monster AP.)
2. Dandelion Awakened Weapon
3. Sub-weapons: Kutum (PVE) / Nouver (PVP)
4. Bheg’s Gloves or Leebur’s Gloves (Evasion)
5. Urugon’s Shoes or Muskan’s Shoes (Evasion)
6. Dim Tree Spirit’s Armor or Blackstar Armor
7. Griffon’s Helmet or Giath’s Helmet
8. Yelow grade accessories

You may decide to focus on Dande before Kzarka to reach the AP brackets. For example, most softcap players will hit the 261 Awakening AP bracket if they get their Dande pen, which gives another 18 AP (non-sheet). If you are a player that focuses on Awakening combat, then Dande may also be your first choice.

Kzarka, The Lord of Corruption
<Boss>
