I know there is some records of best items somewhere but what I would like to know is:

What the best item you currently own or the most useful just to see what's active and what people consider their gem.

On my side I will list 2:

This rod since I spend most of the time fishing and because that's my favorite one for a fast fishing event, so probably one of the item I play the most with.

Level Req: 45
Spell Damage: 12 to 120
Mana Cost: 93

+60 Dexterity

Surprised you had any success with this as hybrid, my attempts using it showed it to be absolutely awful and was 100% outdamaged by either going full int or full stats, This was mostly tested with a melee paladin attempting to use holy cross.
I also tried it on a caster but i was way better off sitting on a 100ee weapon and equip that when you wanted to do damage
So i literally found 0 uses for the fact that charm had both stats and ee, not sure how you're doing any better with it.
The MQ is way way better than that charm in all senses of the word better. Just more boring cos it's flat ee.

SC:
Magical ultimanium dagger

Don't really have a favorite item on SC atm.

Probably my EE/Crit chain/plates. The 25 and 45 are my favorite in that set. Won’t post them all, but they’re here.

I don't want to brag or anything....

Magical rusted longsword

+1% Armor Pierce

can damage all the way to 28 and can pierce armors.

ye i loved that lvl 25 chain when i had it too.
I think a flat 40 strength outperforms it if you dont mind shrining once per level. But that 25 looks way cooler though.

Not posting the MQ dex/qd charm?
Probably for the best for your pm box


I suppose i could post this for SC, bought it a long time back and still have it, which is more than i can say for a lot of other items i've bought/sold over the years:

Mystical spiderthread robe
Level Req: 55
Physical Defense: 0 to 30
Magical Defense: 70 to 210

+46 Intelligence
+20 Max Life
+11% Mind Numb
