I can't seem to find any decent capes for mage

Besides one that drops in VN (yeah... I can run that... maybe by chapter 12... :rolleyes

all the other capes are either no ghost stats (and less than 100 def. Whats the point in using these??), hybrid ghost stats like +int and P atk, or crap ghost stats like + M atk and Magic accuracy (like Hero cape... needs to be cleaned too...)
Looked thru the ROM database, and there is pretty much no decent lv 55+ capes.

what stats are you hoping to get?

Magic Crit ? then the new L70 shell/mento capes have that, also the Savage Light (I think)

Matk ? Jugglers cape, Hero cape

There's not alot of choices for capes but to say that a cape with Matk, Int, and Accuracy is crap isn't really reasonable.

But you are correct, to my knowledge there is only one cape with Matk + Crit (the Aoth VN one)

but, I'll also point out there's no cloth head pieces with Matk and Crit either, I'm sure there are other pieces that we cant find Matk and Crit on, but I'm too lazy to go look them all up

before i got the juggler cape thats what i used was the hero cape. its craftable so i got an orange one, or tan or whatever color that is above the purple rarity lol.

not all ghost stats are gonna be "useful" per say all the time.

for example, the assembled parts pants outta sardo gives wisdom, and for that matter most accessories (necklaces in particular) give physical crit rate bonuses, things we as mages dont need/stat for, or will never use.

but hero cape still gives mattk and stam, and those are pretty good in my book.

besides, once you get the juggler cape, it literally has the SAME EXACT GHOSTS as the hero cape, but ull want it for that 10% magic power bonus.

just my two cents, and good luck finding a cape that suits your playing style.

Lots and lots and lots of Stamina and Hp, since Matk is kinda useless if you don't have to HP to even get into the instance

(which is where I am right now...). Some Matk would be nice too though.

I've thought about Hero cape... but so expensive

3-5m just for the cape, then another 7 million to clean it... X_X

I understand your concern.

That being said, it is incredibly easy to make that much gold in a short period of time these days, as prices on all things on all servers are vastly inflated.

Also as I stated in my initial post, the Hero Cape IS craftable..so if you cant afford to buy it, you can always get the recipe, level up your crafting, and make one yourself.

Just a suggestion

Labyrinth Cloak of Rebirth from the HoS mem vendor is arguably the best mage cape from lvl 55 to 65. Best Magic Crit in that lvl range & you can stat it with all the Sta, HP you desire.

I pulled 3 or 4 to get OD.

Cheap mem cape, hard to beat at 150 mems a pull.

I'm still using mine but it will be replaced soon.

Just take http://www.runesdatabase.com/item/227980…ant-destruction for Mementos. Crap stat on it also, but tbh....if you are on low gear level, don't even think about cleaning an item, it is waste of money for you

Shell cape. ^

That > Juggler > Hero > Labyrinth Cloak of Rebirth > Arena Cape
If you have access to full Juggler, then reverse Juggler over all.

My opinion.

i always agree with matty unless i dont :p

yea hos rebirth when they buffed the stats was uber for 120 mentos or whatever.

and the damn vn cape for mages doesnt.want.to.fricken.drop >< warriors will love how often their's seems to appear. annelia doesnt want to drop much mage stuffs either :mad:

hell, we've only seen one aoth mage accessory piece since april when we started. mage hate!!! QQ capes = warr and meat shield most common it seems

im thinking accuracy may be a bit more important as we progress now?, at least while we're doing bosses/mobs higher level than us. i havent noticed much increase in actual crit rate on average as i got over 70% on up to like 81% in burn phase. so adding sum accuracy may not be a bad thing if diminishing returns is making more and more crit be somewhat useless. is that what you guys have seen on eu druff?

Mage rage on Annelia drops is sooo warranted. We have only seen one mage chest drop in farming her over the past 3 months. And pazz, I hate to say that we have really only been doing VN over the past month and our top mage already has a 119 dura neck, a 99 dura earring and the cape (which first dropped last night). A hand full of us are just waiting on the fears to pile up for the ring. I think we may have a fear party some weekend while actually just swapping and wiping at Nightmare around 25% and rinse repeat.

And that damn warrior cape drops so often its pathetic. Almost two a day VN kills over this month and no Aoth strike cape.

The VN set with the cape seems to be the way to go. 8% intel, 8% more magic power is crazy. Combine that with the cape and the skill from the cape and OMG :eek:

I am looking for new cape as well, and last night friend and I were looking at Labyrinth Cloak of Rebirth. Plusing it to 12 will give 133 Sta (and junk Pdef/Mdef) which translates into 665 HP. OD and with Shell of the soul it translates to close to 1K HP and you still have 5 spots for other stats...

Just wonder how many tries until I get OD one.

Looking at the shell cape and Hos mem cape, I thnk I'll go with the shell one. More crit, and +Int instead of wis. And the shell one is pretty much guarenteed OD, because I can spam buy one every 2 days.

Don't think Hero is an option for me... my crafting is at lv 6, it would take either months or hundreds of millions to get to Hero cape... I don't really know how to "make millions in days". Can;t run stuff like RT, so no selling stats except crimsons (which takes a really long time to get a decent one).

I assume that your signature is outdated, as shell one will work only if you level 67 or 70, where HOS one works from level 55.

I might do the same thing once I level up, but until then, this UD one from HOS will have to do. (Hammered and plussed to +6)

Nope, I'm still lv 61

I'm in no hurry to stat my cape yet, because I'm currently working on my Boots and it will take at least 2 more weeks before I finish it. Then I'll start on my cape, which will take another 3-4 weeks to gather to stats, and by then I'll definately be at 70 already when I have my cape statted.

Just wanted to know what I should look for while I'm doing these stuff so that I won't miss out on anything that I'll need in the future and end up with no capes to stat, and have to sift thru the AH everyday looking for one
